Ok, to all of you medically minded people (Janna is not one of those and the one who wrote the last blog) the catheter is actually in her pleural or lung cavity.
The good news is Erica has an appointment at Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore on Tuesday where she will get different tests done in preparation for her to start treatment. They hope to start later in the week, but we are not sure when it will happen. The clinical trial at Franklin Square is an anti-CTLA4 treatment. She will be in the hospital for a day and then will be home for about 3 weeks before she goes for the next treatment.
Thanks again to everyone for keeping Erica in your thoughts and prayers; they definitely help Erica knowing she has so many people pulling for her.

Erica, you strong woman you! Janna's been keeping me up-to-date outside of the blog as well. I'm so glad to hear you've gotten into the trial. I will have to contact you and see if you feel up for hanging out. Maybe we can knit, chat and watch a movie! :)
Love, Deanna
Hey Erica...
Am continuing to pray for a miracle. Thankful that you were able to get into a trial. This could be the cure!
Hope you are feeling surrounded by love and encouragement. You are an inspiration to me.
Keep fighting!
With lots of love,

Hi Erica,
