      Jackie took her 4th Yervoy treatment April 26th, and now after her 1 year battle with the beast, she is now home from a 10 day hospital stay, Jackie's organs are failing. We started Jackie on home hospice care yesterday. That is what Jackie wanted. All her underlying conditions have contributed to her multi-system organ failure. We took a shot to fight the beast. We have been shooting to get to our 20th wedding anniversary on June 12th. Praying for God's will in Jackie's life.

          My heart is breaking for both of you.  I hope that hospice is able to keep her pain free and alert so you can enjoy your time together that is left.
