Sheila’s Story

Site created on August 16, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. Mid-July 2021Sheila was diagnosed with stage IV  cancer. Since her diagnosis  mom has visited the City of Hope in Duarte, California where her diagnosis was confirmed and multiple surgeries and immunotherapy is recommended.  Sheila remains hopeful that treatment will be effective and grateful for the wonderful community support she has already received from friends and family.  Although she is fatigued and in pain she continues to be as positive as possible. We understand that many are looking for ways to help and we will be organizing a meal train starting in September, so more on that later. In the meantime, we appreciate your prayers , support , words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting Sheila's Caringbridge website.

Journal entry by Stephanie Malone (Scardenzan)

I am gonna start off by saying if you aren't religious or spiritual, that might change after reading what I am about to share.

Mom's genetic testing came back from the sample they took from her brain. Her cancer is 100% curable. She will not have to undergo radiation, chemo, or immunotherapy. The cure for her cancer is in a pill form that she will need to take for the rest of her life. She will start her pill in the coming days and should start feeling a little more normal in the next few weeks.

We could not have received any better news today. This is an absolute miracle. 

We want to thank everyone that has reached out with their positivity, prayers, and good thoughts. The support has been extremely overwhelming and so appreciated. We love you all!

Love and Hugs,

Stephanie
