been a long time….
Filed under my life by sherriknits at 7:12 pm on Jun 06 2010
I am sorry I haven’t been here for a long time. My life has taken a bit of a detour and very, very little knitting is going on in my life right now. I truly hope it returns sometime soon, but for now I have a lot on my plate to deal with.
In early May, I was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer. I spent the month of May going through very intense testing. Two weeks ago I started chemo, both daily oral and weekly iv. So far, I have been doing very well tolerating the treatments but the effect is cumulative and they say I will grow more fatigued as time goes on.
I do appreciate hearing from my old friends I’ve made on here and if you are interested in knowing more, send me a note through the comments and I will get back to you. I don’t want to turn this blog that has brought me so much fun into being all about this. I plan to be back some time in the future. I really am doing well emotionally at this point, my faith in God has really held me day-by-day and I am actually finding blessing every day. It’s a miracle. 
Thanks for your friendship over time and I will try to get back now and then.

You are in my prayers. I’m so sorry to hear you are ill, I hope the treatments work and you have the quickest recovery ever. I love reading your blog. You, and your family, are an inspiration to me.

I’ve been thinking about you for a few weeks, so I did what I usually do: I prayed that you were safe and that your family was okay. I hate to bother people when they take blogging detours, after all, I ignore mine for months at a time.
Please email me when you get a chance and I will certainly continue my prayers for you.

Oh my, I’m sorry to hear about this new valley, but I love to see how you appreciate the scenery as you go. Amazing! And I do miss seeing the family, and the goings on, but I understand the break. I’ll be praying for a successful treatment and that God will continue to provide you the strength to bear this new challenge. Many hugs, my friend.

I have missed you, I wondered where you were.
Take lots of care of yourself, sending prayers and hugs.

Oh Sherri – I am so sorry to hear this news! Please know that you are in my prayers. I hope that you do well – both physically and emotionally. I know that you are strong with a tremendous faith and family that are equally strong and supportive, I am sure. Please take care….
Nice to hear from you again though. I have missed your regular updates. Seems so many people are fading from blogging – more into Ravelry for the knitting side of things. (Now I wish that were the case with you…..)
Stop by my blog if you get a chance. Not very exciting though – I’m into spinning now. Something I always wanted to try and I am finding it quite enjoyable.
Take care –

oh, Sherri, I pray that the bad cells listen to the chemo and go away forever! Be at peace, and know people love you and are pulling for you!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. My next door neighbor is going through a similar experience with leukemia.
Go ahead and post what ever you want… it will keep us all connected and may be very therapeutic for you.
