Mike, I would have emailed you directly...but no longer have an address for you. I'm also 'bumping' this up from your post below, as this format doesn't help direct post/to/post topics...


Mike... I appreciate your herculean searching and efforts to contact me with news of dearest Cheryl.

What you are doing for your daughters is such a wonderful idea. It will give an intimate window into their mom's life, her emotions, personality, generosity, love and strength. Bless you for this.

I post infrequently under the ID: pattyz which may make a difference in a search of my posts.

Survivor guilt is a familiar feeling for me these past months. I am indeed still here for whatever reason/s. I remain NED in body with last scan showing a bit of small progression in brain. Report states: "one or two new small lesions." That is so 'iffy' a report I've been waiting to see what they do since March, next scans in Aug. Am doing well, with good QOL.

I am still hesitant to get excited about making plans that are way out there, yet have risked doing so a bit more of late.... trying to look at it as just 'therapy' for TODAY.

Blessings to you and your daughters, Mike.
Most sincerely,
pattyz
