Phil’s Story

Site created on July 21, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. Phil has bladder cancer which escaped his bladder. It is a papillary carcinoma which has spread throughout his body. He has gone through a regiment of chemo and radiation which I covered on Facebook so won't repeat. He just started Immune Therapy which is 35% effective. It is an IV cocktail to help his own body fight the cancer cells. The PET Scan showed improvement but some new nodules have appeared. All of his doctor's are seen in Greenville. All of our prayers are sent to God in Jesus' Name.

Journal entry by Bette Strickland —

Easter service without Phil by my side was more difficult than I thought.  I checked back with Caringbridge only to find my last post was no where to be found.  I wanted everyone to know there were more than 200 in attendance.  Thank you again for your outpouring of love.
