Hello to all. I am sitting at Duke waiting to get my dose of avastin. I just met with the doctors and they reviewed my scans with me. Everything remains stable, and I will have more scans in 9 weeks. Until then, I will continue to get avastin treatments at Duke every 3 weeks. It was really good news.
I also talked to them about a double lung transplant. I decided at this time to stick with what has me stable but to revisit if something changes. I think another option at that time will be genomics, which is basically Duke getting a better sample of the cancer (surgery) and really looking at my specific tumor and build a treatment plan on my tumor. Dr. Potti here at Duke is really a leading guy for this type of research. Google him! He is a super nice guy as well. The lung transplant continues to be on my mind....
I am very proud of everyone that has been sticking by me. It is hard on me, but hard on all of you as well. I will keep it up so you have to as well....

This is a blog for all of my friends to come to as I fight lung cancer. I wanted to make sure everyone had a place to see all the news of what is happening and how I am trying to beat this disease. Make sure you visit the archives for the complete story as well.

You've made it this far and you've got a lot more to go... Keep it up cause we all know you have it in you...
We are so excited for you all! That is fabulous and we hope for more good news next time. We love you both.

Hi Bo, Christi, and Addi,
Wow, I can't believe that I found you so easily! Bo, I am not sure if you remember me and I have not had the pleasure to meet your wife or daughter, but my maiden name was Nicole McClure now (Milano). The last time I saw you, was close to 10 years ago at Cashion’s Gas Station, in Cornelius. I will never forget it! I was in a very bad place and I remember you were the same kind person I knew as a child. That night something was bothering me about our conversation. I did not like the person that I had become. In other words your kindness sparked something inside of me that forced me to look deep in my soul. After, this I began studying many different religions, (you would not believe some of the religions out there) so that took a long time. Around two years later, I found my perfect match, in Christianity. I am sure that you are wondering why I feel the need to share all of this with you at 1:45 in the morning, but I as I was carrying my two sweet and exhausted children up to their bedrooms, I realized I had never had the chance to thank you, So, thank you for being the kind person that I ran into over 10 years ago at a gas station. Thank you for helping me recognize that I was emotionally, physically, and spiritually lost! My children, family and friends thank you too! You never know when God is going to use you to do his work. Your simple act of kindness changed my life. You were just being yourself, nothing more and nothing less! After reading your blog, my first thought was, this could not possibly be the Bo Johnson that I know from Hendersonville. Then, I realized it would only make sense that God would use someone like you and Christi as an example of what can be overcome with his help. It fills me with such joy to see pictures of you and your family! Your strength, love, and faith are such an inspiration to me! Again, Thank You!
Sincerely,
Nicole McClure Milano
Bo,
Everyone reading this blog today is so very proud of you, Christi, and Addi. You and your family are not only examples of how to live each day to the fullest, but are also positive role models for so many others in this world of ours.
You, Chrsit, and Addi, will never know how many lives you all have touched in your paths through this world that we all share.
Keep up the good work and some day, hopefully, that one word everyone is waiting to hear will come. That word is cured.
Maintain the faith, Brother, we're all pulling for you, and praying for you, and the two lovely young ladies you have at your side, always.
