Dear family and friends, Thank you for visiting Cheryl's Villiage. Cheryl is currently at Mercy Hospital, in Des Moines, IA recovering from surgery. On Wednesday, June 27th, Cheryl had a tumor removed from the left frontal area of her brain. The local pathologist has sent samples to Mayo for analysis. We may not have final diagnosis, further details or treatment plan for two weeks. In the mean time, Cheryl will be recovering. We appreciate prayers, thoughts and cards (no plants or flowers at this time please). Cheryl is still in ICU. For now, visitors and calls are restricted to family only.
If you are looking for more general information, there is a good introduction to brain tumors on the following website, which is peer reviewed information, and recommended by one of her doctors. Again, at this time it is just for general information, until we have more details.
https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/brain-tumor/introductionWe truly appreciate the support you have shown for Cheryl, Hardy, John and Glenna and we ask that you respect the family's request for privacy at this time.
Blessings, Hardy & Cynthia
