Description
Cheri got a call back today from her Doctors office, I wish I had the chance to hear first hand, but will relay to you what I've been told, as promised.
The diagnosis is that she does not have the very aggressive type! (Breathe sigh of relief here.) It's still going to be a battle, but it's not the foe we've been dreading to face, more of the wimpy type in fact. It's only about half the size of a small pea right now,..I'm squishing it in my mind as I type. A lot of this has to do with hormonal issues, be it the hysterectomy several years back, and the stress she's been under at work. I'm telling you this because a lot of you are already in that same situation, or know someone who is, it's amazing at what havoc just stress alone can wreak on someone, but that's a whole different subject. The one two punch of the combination however is totally apt here, it makes you potentially more at risk, and certainly does not tip the scales in your favor, GET CHECKED OUT! At least with a bit more regularity..PLEASE!
We are going to be okay, I'm wishing that Cheri had at least some form of health insurance, but then I know that she's not alone in that department either. Dealing with this particular enemy is not ever cheap, nor the duration of the battle ever too short. We will find a way to win the day and overcome this, but makes me sad to know that there are so many out there without the means, and even worse off than we are.
I am overwhelmed with the rally of support that's been shown for our Cheri; to hear from others we didn't even know is just amazing. I am soo glad that I had discovered you, and that she finally decided to join this wonderful family, and again feel bad for those who don't have this in their lives. I can't imagine life without this community, without you. The love, caring and encouragement you all share would be a challenge to find anywhere else the world over.
Thank you so much, for you,.we love you all!
I included this photo, just to demonstrate the fact that this is definitely not the first time in her life, Cheri has overcome a monster. The link to hear it in her words is here http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=624169

Just keep mentally squishing that little pea... Endeavor to persevere. You will win this battle! Glad it's not aggressive. Give it the one two punch while it's not looking. Stress the fight or flight syndrome, That's what one of my doctors calls it. I know with your support and love y'all (LOL) will beat this. The times of adversity will make you stronger. HANG IN THERE!!!!

Outstanding news! I get so tired of seeing the good guys loose. Its nice to see that it is not always the case. You make a good point. Sites like this bring strangers together and before you know it they start caring for each other. The next task for you and Cheri is to bring us all a happy ending. I'll keep praying for that.

I am so sorry you got the big "C" diagnosis. It is devastating not only physically but mentally as well. Be strong and we will all pray that Cheri beats this monster quickly. As for the financial part, this is also increasing the stress. I know what your going through and hope you find a solution to your problems. Speedy recovery for Cheri.

Remarkable work!

All my love to both you valiant warriors! Keep squishing the pea, and hang in, honey. Getting through this is a process, not an event, and all you can do is take things as they come, make responsible plans, and do your best! I have faith ...

Oh man, words can't possibly express how sorry I am to hear what you both are going through. Why is it that life seems to keep kicking folks when they've already been kicked enough? I've to a special candle for these things, I only light it for the ones who need that extra thought/prayer/push to try and add my own energy to the situation. That candle has been re-lit. Take care of yourselves, keep hoping, and know that the ones who admire your art are pulling for you.

More light, love and peace to you both. You are taking this and giving it no more power and that's huge. It won't make it go away, but it will help you get thru it.

Wow, so sorry to hear all this, I will for sure keep you both in my thoughts.

Dave, I hope thats not you hiding in there. :o) So glad Cheri hasn't got the aggressive type. Glad it was caught while pea size. We always find ways around, when obsticles are put in our way. We are lucky here as we do have the National Health service, we may moan & groan about it but it is there. Give Cheri my love & thinking about you both. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes...Cheri beat this monster...I'm confident that she'll beat the C monster too. Thanks for the nudge to be checked out. I'm a bit overdue for a mammogram...but now I'll make sure I make that appointment!

Dave, I am sorry to hear this news but at least it sounds more promising then it might have. It's good to hear that you both seem to have a postitve attitude. That is VERY important in these situations. Yes, it will be a battle but it can be won, and I am confident that with you two working together as a team it will be. We know someone personally who beat breast cancer and has been free for many years now. Cheri is very fortunate have someone like you supporting her. You both will be in our thoughts often. May this image you posted be a foregleam of the outcome to the battle that lies ahead of you both.

The life depends on the Divine Will! I remember that they said Dad would pass away in a few weeks but Lord Gave Dad 10 years more !!! Be strong, praying is the only solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let Cheri recover completly the soonest possible!This is my prayer.

Brilliant news!! Keep squishing... (I could bore you with a mind over matter tale of my own, but not just now when you are fighting your own battles!)

Arg matey, The fight is on. I love the costume it's one of my favorites. You my love just gave it new meaning. I triumphed over the Gnome I can beat this shallow opponent. I am sorry I have been so emotional lately.

M'lady,...You stand victorious, because you have so much heart! I've been telling you from the onset, that you can do anything and accomplish whatever thou dost desire. You were not meant to be beaten down and made small, but to stand tall and proud, and achieve your dreams. You apologize to no one, unless you have done them some wrong. You face a foe of renown, with a history of devastation, meant to cause the fear that you feel in all that it challenges. It's time has past, it's reign of terror is over. You face this demoralized beast,...but not alone, instead with an entire army to stand with you and support you. In addition to all of that, know that I stand with you too, for I do nothing to lose, no matter the cost or whatever the toll, and this statement dear heart you know to be true. We will prevail, together, and with the support of all of your friends and family, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. The days hence are nothing but a formality, That which must be endured prior to announcing your total victory. In the mean time,...lean on me, I will stand behind you, beside you, or even in front....where ever you need me to be at any given time. Not only do you have that, but all of the aid, support, and love of your family and all of your friends here. You are not alone in this fight, lean on us all when you feel the need. I love you so much,...and I would d.., you know!

so sorry to hear this, my thoughts and prayers to both of you..
myrrhluz
Sorry I missed this posting earlier. But you have been in my thoughts and prayers. You both show a lot of strength to beat this thing. Best of luck also with the financial side of it. Try to say 'Hit the road Jack!" to worry and stress and tell that wretched pea that "these boots are gonna walk all over you". Cheri, you look very snazzy overcoming that monster!
chasfh
Even little steps take you forward! A small positive, but a positive nonetheless, so thats good... Of course you'll win this! Nothing else is acceptable...
Crudelitas
This is really tragic! But I think together you can create it! in any case, I will be with my thoughts with you and send you my best wishes and thoughts! Stand up and fight!
Hendesse
Superb shot, I like the costume. Sorry to read about the diagnosis. Cheri will beat this monster too. All my best wishes.

I don't know you but feel as if I do from the postings that I have read. Fantastic news, really and truly and my best wishes for a relatively uncomplicated unpainful journey in squishing it completely.
