        Thanks for the update, Carol. I think that Jill and Eric are truly heroic people. They
        share an indomitable spirit and remarkable level of faith. If only there were more people
        like them!

        In the latest video, Eric continues to maintain the attitude that he will never give up,
        despite having an overwhelmingly severe of level of disease.

        Eric and Jill remain in my prayers.

        Thank you all so much for your concern and well wishes.  I'm sorry I haven't been here much.  I have been having a hard time dealing with all of this and I've been depressed despite medication.  When I'm down it's so hard to do the simplist of things and it's hard for me to talk.  Carol Taylor mentioned that someone was asking about us.

        Eric has been on Yervoy about 9 weeks.  He gets his 3rd dose on Thursday.  As you know, Yervoy isn't a quick fix so things have been growing out of control.  We have a video blog on YouTube and also a Facebook page.  Here are the links for those.

        Eric has lost a LOT of weight, he is very weak and his hands are like ice.  I'm really scared and it's so hard to watch him decline and things grow.

        Thank you for your support and prayers.

      Thanks for posting video. My heart goes out to them…it was very difficult to watch the video because they are so courageous in the face of such pain.

      They mentioned that they are hoping the treatment works in a few weeks.

      What treatment are they referring to??/ Is Eric in a clinical trial?

      God Bless them both.
