It’s 6:50 AM and I am writing this update from Presbyterian Hospital. I apologize for sending this so late in the week, but our lives and schedule have been rearranged dramatically since Monday afternoon. Some have heard and others have not, so I thought an email update might be the best way to inform everyone.

On Monday afternoon, Sherri and I received tests results showing that cancer had returned. She has two tumors, one on her liver and one on her lower right lung. Tests also show most tissues and organs, except for the heart, spine and brain to be affected as well. As you can imagine, we were somewhat overwhelmed.

Sherri will have outpatient surgery today. They will do a biopsy on the tumors and place a port in her chest for chemotherapy. Once she heals, she will begin chemo next week. In spite of all this, there is good news.

The good news is if this cancer is the same type Sherri had previously, (and there is a great chance it is) then they have the medicine to effectively treat her condition. We asked the doctor if this was a hopeless case; the doctor’s response was “Not at all, I am very hopeful we can defeat this.”

Our family asks for your prayers as we journey through this season of challenge. We would appreciate you requesting prayers from others whom you know as well. We do not want sympathy, pity or sorrow; Sherri is not dead, only ill. God is a healing God and we stand in faith believing Sherri will be healed. Please believe with us!

Sherri’s statement today is “I am mad at the devil.” We’ve put on the fight gear of faith and we will be victorious. We refuse to allow reality to shape our destiny.

Sherri and I will see you Sunday morning at FWC. Come ready to worship and receive from God! Also, as you pray for
Sherri, please pray for Neil Oliver, Joyce Pierce, Eula Dean Blazer & Sue Glines who are also battling cancer.

Sherri and I love you and appreciate you! We stand on Psalm 107:20 "God sent His Word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions." I’ll keep you informed.

Blessings,
Charlie Tuttle.
