Early Treatment Saves Lives: Dennis Sharp

Dennis Sharp, an Osceola County resident with a suppressed immune system, said, “I have been being treated for cancer at MD Anderson in Houston. I tested positive for COVID in August, and they advised me that I needed to get the monoclonal treatment. A few days later, I got the treatment. My symptoms leveled out, and I made it through within the 10-day quarantine.

“My mother in her seventies ended up with COVID as well. I made her and her husband aware of this treatment, and they were able to visit one of the state sites and get treated. Her husband has not tested positive, and her symptoms went away. I got the treatment and was able to promote it to family members, and I'll continue to promote it to family, friends, employees because I really believe it helps to keep people from having long hospital stays.”
