Update Sherrill Nielsen

Here is an email Brenda Nielsen wrote to The King's World:

Sherrill is still undergoing a very rigorous schedule of treatments:
He has daily radiation treatments (he refers to these as being barbecued),
then he has weekly chemo therapy (5 hours) and weekly erbitux therapy
(4 hours). ... We met with his cancer doctor on Thursday, but the doctor
says it is too soon to give us any type of prognosis. He wants Sherrill to have
the full 2 months of agressive daily treatments (this should be around the
middle of May) ... and then they should be able to see where we are. ...

We have a dear friend in Belgium (Jerry Deewood) who was able to
send Sherrill a prescription for a 'miracle' cough pill. One of the biggest
problems that he has had was constant non-stop dry cough being pro-
duced from the cancer and pneumonia. This has made him so extremely
week. He, for the first time, has been able to sleep throughout the night
without coughing. Thank you Jesus!! ...

Thank you all for your continued prayers on his behalf. He has enjoyed
reading and receiving the many e-mails from his fans throughout the
world. I guess that is when you stop and realize all the many lives you
have touched. Keep the prayers coming. We know that we serve an
awesome God. ...

I know that Sherrill would love to pick up the phone and talk to each of
you personally, but right now he is too weak to do this.

We love you all
Brenda and Sherrill
