My first Post...

Sooo Here it goes. I'll start by telling a little about my self. My name is Sherry. I have been married to Roger for 18 years. We have 2 adult children. Steven 28 who is married to a wonderful wife and mother name Teresa. They have blessed me with a precious grandaughter named Rhianna. And Tosha 25 who is engaged to a fun loving and great guy named Nate. God has blessed me with a precious family whom I love very much. I am also a Cancer Survivor! Yeah the Big C! I was diagnosed with stage 3B squamous cell carcinoma on May 10 2005. It is a day I will never forget. Funny how life can stop you on a dime. I had been shopping that day in greenville with my daughter Tosha. After returning home I started hemmorhaging and went to the ER. I thought I was having early menopauseal symptoms. Boy! was I wrong!! I spent 4 days in the Gibbs Cancer center. I've had 35 radiation treatments, 4 Chemo treatments, 2 Blood transfusions, and a cessium implant. It is only by the grace of God that I am able to write this today. God's grace is always sufficient!! no matter what the situation. That is one reason I decided to start blogging. I want to share my story. Having cancer has really changed my life. Life has many twist and turns as well as Ups and Downs. I sometimes refer to life as Hills and Valleys. Sometimes we have to walk through valleys before we can climb hills. I have been in a valley many of times since my diagnoses. I'd like to share those times too. Being able to climb out of the valley only makes me appreciate life more. God is great!! With him anything is possible I am proof of that.
