Sherri Lynn first experienced subtle symptoms on a trip to Costa Rica, including shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness. Upon returning home, she had a frightening episode where her heart started racing and she nearly fainted while walking.
After many tests and exams, a mass was found in her breast and she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Sherri was put on 12 rounds of Herceptchemo and began transfusions. Three months after her breast cancer diagnosis that had spread to her bone marrow, Sherri was no evidence of disease.

Please read the comment under Martina McBride's ' In My Daughter's Eyes' video: My mom recorded a cover of this song for me and it took years before I could listen to it. Then it took a long time for me to be able to listen without crying. She got H1N1 back in 2009 when there was a huge break out of it. She was hospitalized and pit in the ICU 6 weeks before my 6th birthday and my little sister was only 1 1/2 at the time. The doctors told my dad and my grandparents to start preparing for her funeral because they didn’t think she was going to make it. So we prayed. Then not long after that on my birthday (September 27) she slipped into a coma. So we continued to pray and a few days later our prayers were answered as she began to get better. About a week or two after that she was home and on the mend. It was a true miracle and I don’t have a doubt in my mind that God had heard our desperate cries and answered them. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have her today. Praise the Lord.

Very inspiring. There is a study made with children with some kind of cancer, they told the children to play a kind of video game (pacman style) and asked the children to think they were fighting cancer and the improvement on their health was awesome. Your testimony made me recall that video. I am very very glad for you and i really hope you live a long and healthy life.

Thank You for telling Your story. Truth. Nobody knows except God. I got stage 4 in 2006. Told to go and write will etc. Well I'm still here. More healthy and strong than ever. I read all serious info and took my own decisions. Received the standard treatment. But after that I went my own way. Vegan diet,climbing mountains. Protect nature(park ranger) seeking peace with God. I refuse to die until that is achieved. Love for all things living keep me going. We are blessed.

This is one of the most impactful videos for me from this channel. The combination of accurate and detailed facts about Sherri Lynn's discovery of her cancer, her cancer treatments, and her responses to those treatments, together with her clear descriptions of psychological and life-style responses to each stage of her cancer journey inspire me and give me a guide for moving forward with hope. I will be returning to watch and consult this video again in the future.

My mother went to a “support” group and she came away in anguish as the people in the group believed that your attitude made you come down with cancer. No one would want cancer or wish it on themselves. She was so upset. Now I don’t recommend support groups to anyone without having first gone to a meeting or one of their family member or friend having gone to see if there was any nuttiness going on at the meeting.

@Ceerads 6 ай бұрын

My hospital (MSKCC) had (and has, I think) two separate adjuvant treatment support groups, both run by licensed, very experienced social workers. One group was for early-stage breast cancer patients; the other was for stage IV breast cancer patients (I was in the early-stage group). These social workers were very knowledgeable about bc and firmly corrected any cancer myths such as the one that upset your mother (she had good reason to be upset with that).

Please try gratitude. I've read one Jewish book about gratitude: people wrote about how they didn't have something, wanted it so much, and they started practicing gratitude for about half an hour/hour each day. And they got what they wanted! Heavens are very generous. Remember this please: 'Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.'

@helentaylor7132 Ай бұрын

Well, I'm postmenopausal and have small, dense-tissue, breasts. Had several diagnostic mammograms after stage I breast cancer. I asked the mammography tech how such small boobs can be dense. She said larger breasts have more fatty tissue and are therefore often less dense. I also wonder if having children/breastfeeding changes the density at all.

Somethings not right about this story. Oxygen stats in the 80's would make it terribly hard to breathe. So 02 stats in the 70's is basically not breathing at all. Breasts don't become more dense as women age. Its the opposite.

@jmr9735 6 ай бұрын

After reading your comment, I starting researching. I found that breasts can be dense at any age; however, if they're going to change in any direction, it would typically become less dense as we age. So you're right there. As for the o2, I wondered about that. I'm not medical expert, but when my family had the coof back in 2021, my dad's level dropped. My mom and I were worried when it was getting down to the low 90s, but my brother, who worked in an ER at the time, and a friend of mine who is an RN, both told us that the ER won't take the level seriously, if you will, until it drops into the 80s. When my dad's dropped to 88/89, something like that, my mom took him to the ER. By the time they got there, he was in a bad way. It was their anniversary, and he didn't know how long they'd been married, and he couldn't even remember my mom's name. They'd been married almost 50 years, and he has zero memory issues. So yeah - I can't imagine an o2 level of 70!
