Erica finished her second treatment of anti CTLA4 and is home resting. She does tire easily, but her spirits are great. As per her last blog, one of the main issues is managing her pain. With her oncologist and clinical trial doctors in Baltimore, she decided to contact Capital Hospice home care to help ensure her pain management is controlled. A nurse will stop by the house a couple of days a week to make sure she can get her medicines on time and make sure she is comfortable throughout the day.
She continues to be committed to the clinical trial and her positive attitude which is an inspiration to all of us!
Your thoughts and prayers are doing wonders for Erica and the rest of her family and we ask that you continue those hourly, daily, and weekly!
Love,
The Lipman/Lopez Gang

Erica we love you! and are continuously rooting and praying for you! If anyone can do this, it's you :)!
Erica you are in our prayers. God is always with you. I will come to visit you tonight with Gigi.
Erica Joyce,
It's been awhile since I've been on email and it's been awhile since I've called. Rose has turned into a demon baby... but I love her anyway! Screaming baby or not, I think about you each day and send all my love and hope your way. And while I rock my little rosebud to sleep, I tell her all about her beautiful Aunt Erica... how she makes me laugh and always understands me... how she approaches life with love and courage... how she is showing us all what hope and endurance and bravery are about. I will call soon. In the meantime, remember that I am always with you.
Love, sus
Erica, I lost my lase comment, don't know if you will receive it or not, but wanted you to know that I think of you everyday, and miss seeing that pretty smile of yours. Take care and if I can help in any way, just let me know.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Connie Bowe
