OUR STORY 3

hello, thanks for sharing. I am truly sorry about your loss. Yes, without a doubt i think about the possibility of facing the same my self. I do have faith in God and his son Jesus Christ, and i know he can perform miracles, yet i may need to prepare for being without her. it's a lonely thought and i don't know how i will handle it if i must. I'm concerned for our children especially my youngest, though i know they all love Cheryl very much as I do also. She is my best friend. and I wouldn't be one half the man i am today if it weren't for her. While we wait for marker levels form the new chemo she started just 2 days ago,I know if it doesn't work short of a miracle she will become symptomatic within a few months according to the oncologist and pain will be controlled with medication. We continue to pray for her as family friends and pastors and the church even people who don't know her from my job. I will continue to update my sharepost. Replies like yours help to get through this. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again.

God be with you!  I have five children 9, 11, 12, 14, and 17.  Four bys and one girl and if it wasn't for them I think I would breakdown everyday but I know I must be here for them.  They need me and I need them.  God is good and he's good all the time.  Tell her my prayer and my love goes out to her and God is who he said he is and he will make her better here or either with him holding up.  And you be strong my brother in Christ.

thanks bro. how are you doing with the kids? They are blessed to have you. You are thier strong leader. Anyone who kneels before God can stand before anything. I read your sharepost and it was good to read the replies. I have a daughter who is 18. i recently read that women who exercize and eat healthy have a 20-40% less chance of getting cancer. I'm glad to see that she does well in both categories. It is still a good idea for her to have check ups on a regular basis. I believe you are giving her the most important leson in life most and that is showing her that now matter what she has to face she never has to be alone with it. God is alive and cares.

Tumor markers a done through a blood test. they are used to determine the presence of certain types of cancer. they are not always 100% correct but doctors look for trends either elevating or declining with each level to  measure the effectiveness of chemo therapy. They also use cat scans to determine the presence of tumors. If you need more information, this web site has the 'ask' section you can use or the 'meet our experts' who may be more helpful. Thankyou for your compassion for my wife Cheryl.
