Thank you! Now Forming Team Boobilicious

Just a week into this fight, we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and prayer.  We have heard many great words of encouragement and ideas to help us along this fight.  Some days have been horribly challenging, yet all of your encouragement really helps.  We are starting to fall behind on responding to emails, calls and cards, but we appreciate them so much!  Thank you! We thank God daily for having you in our lives!

Thank you to the friend who walked the Relay for Life this weekend in Shermance's honor and made a candle-lit vigil bag with her name on it.  Thank you for the excellent words of advice: to avoid cancer-feeding sugar, to take natural supplements, to try accupuncture, to keep a positive attitude, to look into the Burzynski Clinic, to try a Rife Machine, to take anti-nausea medicine after chemo, and to tap into the survivor network (through Komen and Relay for Life).  Awesome!  Keep telling us your stories of survival...and loss.  We are all in this together!

Advice we've heard over and over is to accept the support of friends. We usually act strong and say we can do it on our own.  At times already it has been overwhelming. We are starting to feel it.  Friends and family are offering prayers and service daily and our support network is growing.  We've decided to heed the advice and accept your offers.  We are forming Team Boobilicious (thanks for the name Shannon).  We are not sure yet what it will morph into, but it is for friends who may be able to help us keep our life somewhat "normal" during this rough period.  It might mean that you could take the boys for some play time, take Shermance on a chemo visit, run an errand, loan a bandana to cover a balding head, shuttle the kids to Scouts or Tae Kwon Do, or provide a meal.  It's not meant to be formal or overwhelming, but your help during this time would be so greatly appreciated!  If you don't live nearby or are time-limited please don't over extend yourself. You can still help us through words of support and/or prayer.  It's all good!

If you'd like to help coordinate by managing an online calendar or putting together a "people who care"  list, we welcome you.  Contact Shermance via cell, text, or email.  We'll see how this might work.  We know you are there.  We feel your support.  And we are thankful for your loving and caring!
