Just finished our run at the Isle of Palms! Gino smoked me! Sped past me like a bullet! Each day I see My Beloved simply loving and living life! We await next scans in a month or so. But, for now, we just ignore the "c" word!!!! God bless you!!

Her FB page is public so I don't think you need to have a FB account to see it.

Thank you all for your continued love and concern for my Gino! I am thrilled to report that his scans show no cancer in his brain and all other sites continue to shrink! It is hard to believe that one year ago I almost lost him. Today, he feels wonderful, has an exceptionally great quality of life and is full of energy.

I share this with you for a very specific reason. One year ago, I found the courage to remove him from the doctors who were treating him at that time. Those doctors gave us very little hope and said immunotherapy would not work for Gino.

I found a new doctor who would talk with us about immunotherapy. And then, he put Gino on immunotherapy even though it wasn't "approved" for Gino's cancer. That treatment, by the grace of God, is why my Beloved is with me today.

If you are facing late-stage cancer or are a cancer caregiver, please TRUST your gut and get a second opinion!! If your doctor won't speak with you about immunotherapy, speak to another doctor.

Keep digging, keep searching. Above all, keep the Faith! God bless you!

Sooo happy for them! In the past, she has posted that, even when he wasn't feeling very well, she'd see him on the phone, offering support and advice to other cancer patients. What a great guy.

I believe I've heard it described as using the immune system to treat cancer. I don't know the specifics of what is done to make it effective.

@Mellie32 I went to look this up myself as I had never heard of it . . . very interesting as personally I am not a fan of big pharma:

Immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy, is a type of cancer treatment designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. It uses substances either made by the body or in a laboratory to improve or restore immune system function.

How wonderful to read such a positive update. I have followed their love story for years an I am so happy for them.

To love that deeply, care that strongly and fight that valiantly, what a joy to read about a couple truly liviing their vows. For too many, for better or worse, in sickness and in health are merely words.

Bless them both.

Immunotherapy is the wave of the future! There are alot of immunotherapy cancer treatments coming down the pipeline. A true game changer. Very exciting stuff.
