Back from Charlotte

We got back from Charlotte late tonight.  The weather on the way home was kind of a little bit nasty!  When my mother said that we should have left at 6 a.m. and I didn't listen...I'll admit she was right.  We did get up early (for us) at 0800 and enjoyed a great breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn in Charlotte (our routine).  Bobby did a terrific job driving us home.  I'm sure he has a few (more) gray hairs on his head.  Yes, he has a few hairs and some of them are gray.


Anyway, the trip went well.  I'll blog more about the details and the plan for the next few months.  It is just getting late tonight and Bobby and I both have to work in the morning.  I'll finish up tomorrow.

What you want to hear is:  There are no changes on the CT scans.  The plan is to continue Ipilimumab and move forward.  Bobby is tolerating the drug and the melanoma ISN'T!!!  That is the simple answer to our prayers( & yours).  We thank all of you for all of the support and the faith that you showed from the beginning that we WOULD get to this point.  We have and we will...thanks to you!

Goodnight for now. We hope everyone is safe in their homes and getting ready to snuggle down in a warm bed.  We love you all.  For those of you who are Melanoma Warriors---hang in there, Bobby is proof that some treatments CAN and DO work.  I know it is difficult but each day that passes is another day that may show us a cure, a treatment, the answers...to heal EVERY patient with melanoma. 

Goodnight,
Bobby (who is still plowing) and Donna
Even after driving all day, and being so tired, he is still trying to help others by moving snow from their driveways...that is Bobby!
