From Marcus:

Just a short update tonight. Sherry came home yesterday afternoon and I have been busy and not able to do this earlier. She is still having some pain but she is doing OK. Sugar is a little high yet and she is having to use a bit of insulin before and after every meal. We are watching what she eats closely, which means the chocolate is off limits for right now and some of you know how she likes chocolate. Hopefully it will come down as soon as she gets off some of the short term meds. We got the pathology report in the morning before she left. Unfortunately it wasn’t what we wanted to hear. There were 16 lymph nodes on the left side that were bad. She will need to have radiation treatments along with chemotherapy. The bad part of that is radiation is 45 minutes one way and chemotherapy will be an hour away the other direction and the surgeon is 25 minutes another way. 3 Doctors, 3 counties, in 3 different directions. All this because our local hospital (they have a very high ranked cancer center) and family Dr aren’t in the new system for our health care plan, they are working on getting into it. The DR said it is definately stage 3. We were hoping it hadn’t spread to the lymph nodes and that it would only be stage 2. I know God will take care of us and it will be in his hands. He is the greatest healer and with him all things are possible!

Thanks for all the cards, chocolate, flowers, and most of all the Prayers,

Both of us feel the great power of all the prayers. Words can’t describe the love that we feel.

We have the 3 F’s

Faith in God, great Family that continue to support us, and the most wonderful Friends in the world.

God Bless all and thank you, Marcus
