8 July 2007
Hello to All,
First I hope you are all managing to stay relatively cool in this summer heat. However, more to the point. This is Gene and I wanted to update you on how Cheryl is doing. Many of you have been calling and / or asking me or our mutual friends. I am sorry that I haven't gotten an update sent out sooner.
I left you all with the possibility that I would be able to bring her home on Tuesday and with God's intervention and your prayers, I did!!!
Prior to the hospital releasing Cheryl, they gave her transfusions of two units of whole blood, and one unit of platelets. Based on discussions with the doctors and Hospice, this will be the last transfusions she will ever get.
We got back to South Beloit at about 7:30 pm, just in time to pick her sister Sandy, the one from Colorado, a.k.a. "The Donor", who flew in from Denver to be with Cheryl, at the bus station and headed home.
When we got home, Sandy went to another room and Cheryl and I sat down with Emily and Michael and told them the news. I can tell you we were glad to have two full boxes of tissues around. We spent the rest of the night talking through issues and answering any of the kids questions, with lots of hugs slipped in to ward off the sorrow.
On Wednesday morning, the Fourth of July, our official Hospice nurse came over and did a thorough exam on Cheryl and looked over our house, giving me pointers on how better to care for Cheryl. When she finished for the day we had a new wheel chair for Cheryl to use when she needs to, which out side of the house is often.
Wednesday evening, Cheryl's father and mother arrived from Wyoming, Cheryl's life long friend from Nebraska, as well as her cousin and husband from New Mexico (they drove 1,400 miles non-stop to get here). On Thursday her sister and nephew arrived from Kansas. Needless to say, we had a full house. Cheryl was very happy to see everyone, what joy it brought to her heart.
Wednesday night, we went to our secret place to watch fire works, it is in doors with air conditioning, so it wasn't to hard on Cheryl. We had a great time.
Thursday morning was just for Emily and Michael. Cheryl and the kids went into the family room and closed the door to spend some quality time. Cheryl gave something to both the kids to remember her, something special to Cheryl and then the kids had a chance to ask for something that was special to them. Thursday afternoon, Cheryl and I went and picked out cemetery plots and she picked out her own casket, it is very beautiful.
Enough of the day by day details, suffice it to say that there has been a great deal of reminiscing.
I should tell you that the doctors sent Cheryl home with two medicines that should buy her a little more time. The first is a pill that helps her body hold onto the platelets a little longer and the second is a medicine that will help hold back her cancer cell growth for a short time. While Cheryl was on the study, they couldn't give these medications to her. As I said, the medicine should give us a bit more time. How much time, that is a question that only God can answer.
I won't get into the details, but her body is getting weaker and she is starting to get a great deal of petici, or where her blood is so thin it is leaking out of her smaller blood vessels in her skin. She is getting physically weaker every day. We have her on constant pain medications to mediate her pain and keep it as close to zero as possible, yet maintaining her ability to carry on good conversations and move about as she is able.
Today, Sunday, 8 July, she went to church so that the elders of the church could anoint her with oil and pray over her. We are now down to just her mother and father and her sister Sandy. Sandy will be leaving on Tuesday and her parents will be leaving on Wednesday.
We have been over whelmed by everyone from my work to church and how they have flooded us with calls, cards and brought food over. The love from our community has just been awesome. Thank you all.
We ask that you continue to pray and give praise for:
If you want to see her, please call me on my cell phone to see if she is up for a visit. Again, my cell phone number is (608) ###-####.
I don't know how many days she has left, but I will tell you she is not sitting around crying all day, she is rejoicing in the love of her family and friends.
Thank you all.
Love in Christ

We ask that you continue to pray and give praise for:
- Divine healing giving Cheryl complete remission and a renewed physical body here on earth.
- Praise for all of you who have called, emailed, visited and / or provided our family with meals or just a place for the kids to go and relax.
- Praise for all the prayer we have had to date.
- Pray that if Cheryl is not to be healed on this earth that her last days will be filled with joy, sharing with her children.
- Praise for the fact that she is getting to spend them at home!!!!!
If you want to see her, please call me on my cell phone to see if she is up for a visit. Again, my cell phone number is (608) ###-####.
I don't know how many days she has left, but I will tell you she is not sitting around crying all day, she is rejoicing in the love of her family and friends.
Thank you all.

Update: Cheryl Cummins 02 July 2007
Hello To All,
This is Gene Cummins writing to you all right now, as Cheryl is much to tired and is resting.
Cheryl was admitted back into the UW Hospital in Madison on Monday. As you all know her cancer is back and the cancer cells have been growing. Well this morning when we got her to Madison she had a fever of 102.4, was in a great deal of pain and because her platelets were so low, she was bleeding in spots.
Her lab's showed that the cancer continued to increase in volume and percentage of total cell count. A week ago, her cancer cells, or "Blasts" as they call them, was in the mid 900's representing 25% of her white blood cell count. Last Thursday, her "Blast" count was approximately 8,600 or 64% of her white blood cell count. Today, her "Blast" count was approximately 38,000 or 95% of her white blood cell count, which accounts for the high fever and possibly the aches and pains she is experiencing. As a result, the doctors immediately put her in the hospital and had a frank discussion with both of us.
They said that modern medicine has done all that it can for her and that it is time for her to prepare to die and that I should start contacting her family members. They gave us three options to choose from:
Well, most of you know Cheryl well enough by now the choice was a simple one, she wants to go home and be surrounded by those she loves and who love her. Lord willing I will be able to bring her home on Tuesday.
Now that being said, please let me remind you that we both continue to believe in the power of prayer and in Gods ability to heal her through a miracle. As such, she hasn't thrown in the towel just yet. We both ask that you continue to pray for her when time allows.
Please note, that although our children, Emily and Michael, are fully aware of the cancers return and the fact that Cheryl is in the hospital right now, we haven't had the chance to tell them about this most recent chain of events (face to face). We will do this on Tuesday. So please don't let on about the grim nature of the news to our children, we will do this ourselves soon.
Cheryl also wants to remind all of you, that no matter the out come we need to give thanks and praise to God for the following:
We both want to thank all of you for supporting and loving us as long as you have. Your kind words of encouragement, cards, letters, visits and gifts have helped us more than you may ever know.
Remember that should Cheryl die, it isn't the end, but a new beginning for her where she will receive a new body with out pain and rejoice in being with our Lord.
If you want to come visit her when she is home, please call me first to arrange a time. We will work with as many of you as possible, but her focus will be spending her last days with our children.
Feel free to call me when ever you want. I would prefer on my cell phone, (608) ###-####.

- Go home, with the assistance of Hospice to help her be as comfortable as possible.
Well, most of you know Cheryl well enough by now the choice was a simple one, she wants to go home and be surrounded by those she loves and who love her. Lord willing I will be able to bring her home on Tuesday.

Cheryl also wants to remind all of you, that no matter the out come we need to give thanks and praise to God for the following:
- Praise for the loving spirit and helping hands from our many friends and family members, both at our Church and My work and Guards.
- Praise for the devoted attention to Cheryl's care while at the UW facilities. The nurses and doctors have been wonderful....almost like an extended family.
- Praise for the two years (almost) of additional time she has had to spend with the children, sharing is special times.
- Praise for the possibility of being made whole through the sacrifice of God's own son.
- Praise that for those of you who believe, will see her again in Heaven.
- Prayer for me, Michael and Emily as well as those of you who have followed her struggles that we will continue to stand firm in the belief of a sovern and loving God and stay the course.
We both want to thank all of you for supporting and loving us as long as you have. Your kind words of encouragement, cards, letters, visits and gifts have helped us more than you may ever know.
Remember that should Cheryl die, it isn't the end, but a new beginning for her where she will receive a new body with out pain and rejoice in being with our Lord.

Hello To All,
Well, today at clinic was the real deal, where the rubber meets the road. I found out several things which I will share with you:
As you might expect, I am not ready to give up on this life just yet, so I chose to participate in the study. It is available to only 44 individuals nation wide and only to those where all conventional treatments for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) has failed. I am to take a medicine, AT HOME, called Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA), two capsules three times daily. Yes, they do have potential side effects such as lowered blood counts, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, changes in how things taste, and abdominal pain. However, it is my last medical chance at conquering this AML and best of all, I will take the medicine AT HOME!!!!
To date, they have had mixed results from this study. Some of the participants received no benefit what so ever, some saw marginal success and they said that one patient's cancer went into remission. The drug is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for general use, only available for this research study. I am allowed to drop out of this study at any time if it becomes to difficult.
Also, due to my platelets not holding up as long, I will once again have to go to Madison twice a week for transfusions.
I don't know what will come from my participation, but I stand fast in my faith and the healing powers of God!!!
I would ask all of you faithful prayer warriors, in the coming week(s), to pray:
I rejoice in the cards, e-mails, phone calls and visits I have received. They have provided me with many blessings and internal strength to continue to fight.
Please take some time during this next week to stop and pray for me and my family just 5 minutes. I believe as I hope and pray you all do that there is power in prayer and that God hears each and everyone.
Thank you all for your continued support and love over these difficult times.
Love in Christ

Well, today at clinic was the real deal, where the rubber meets the road. I found out several things which I will share with you:
- First, the Leukemia is back and growing daily!
- Second, my platelets were low again, after a transfusion on Tuesday and I needed more.
- Third, there are no more chemo therapy treatments available to me to fight this.
- Fourth, my doctor presented me with two choices, yes, you heard me right, I got to make a choice (continue to read this only if you want to see the hand of God working in my life - not to mention the result of massive prayers!!!)
- My first choice was to do nothing and get my affairs in order.
- My second choice was to take part in a new study offered to a select few.

- Pray that this medicine sends my cancer into remission permanently.
- Pray that if the medicine isn't Gods answer, then that He would heal me through devine means.
- Pray that no matter how this turns out I will continue to seek his will and not my own.
- Praise for the extended time I have with my family AT HOME.
- Praise for the strength of the Doctors and nurses who continue to treat me with compassion.
- Praise for the continued support from our friends and family at Church, Gene's work, Gene's National Guard Unit and our neighbors.
Pray that I will be able to withstand what ever discomfort this new medicine may bring. - Pray that I don't waste time complaining and focus on living life to it's fullest giving God all of the glory and honor.
I rejoice in the cards, e-mails, phone calls and visits I have received. They have provided me with many blessings and internal strength to continue to fight.
Please take some time during this next week to stop and pray for me and my family just 5 minutes. I believe as I hope and pray you all do that there is power in prayer and that God hears each and everyone.

20 Jun 2007
To All,
Praise God I have now been home with my family for a full 40 days with out being hospitalized. The time with them has been glorious.
As most of you know, when I did come home, one of the requirements was for Gene to hire a Certified Nursing Assistant. Well, as of Monday, 18 June, I no longer required full time adult supervision / support during the day. This is due to the fact that my strength has slowly, but steadily improving. I even have a hint of muscle in my calf.
Thank you for all your prayers and support in countless ways. I firmly believe that God is present in all of this and always has been.
Well, on Tuesday, 19 June, I went to clinic and as expected I needed platelets and in addition, two units of whole red blood. Unfortunately, we came across some disturbing lab results. The lab work indicated that the cancer is back. In order for them to confirm or deny this I had to go back to clinic on Wednesday for a wonderful "Bone Marrow Biopsy".
The lab / blood work today was again an even stronger support, that the cancer is coming back. The White blood cell type, called "Blasts" that is an indicator of the cancer, was 248 on Tuesday and today was over 1,000 = normal is "0" - zero.
Also, on Tuesday the doctor said that they were fairly certain that the cancer was back and to be totally frank, they aren't sure they have anything left in their bag of tricks to help me fight this.
We have just told Emily and will be telling Michael this weekend, he is away at camp this week (I sure hope he is having fun).
Please believe me when I say that I still believe in Gods healing power and saving grace. I don't know what he has planned for me or my family. I pray that he will heal me in full, as I really don't like the idea of leaving my children...I still have so much to teach them. That being said, I also believe strongly in the devine will of God. As such, I ask you to pray now:
Love In Christ

05 June 2007
Hello To All;
To all of you who have been praying for me so faithfully, read and rejoice.
All of the things above are answers to your prayers and I thank you so much. As the doctor in Minneapolis said, I have gone through some very hard times and my body is recovering very slowly, but it is recovering.
At present, we still have a very good Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with me daily, while Gene is at work. She is wonderful and I am very thankful to have her assisting me. A physical therapist comes to our home twice a week to check on my progress and sometimes gives me new exercises.
My doctor in Madison told me I needed to get a stationary bike to exercise on. However, she said the only kind she wants me to use right now is a recumbent style stationary exercise bike. That is an exercise bike with a seat like a chair, I am still very weak when it comes to balance and she is afraid I would fall off of a normal bike seat.
For our Church Family, we are wondering if any of you have a recumbent stationary exercise bike that you would be willing to loan us for a couple of months. If you do, please contact Gene on his cell phone (608) 215-3651. If we haven't heard from anyone by the end of this week, we will by one, we found one at Sears for $199.
Please continue to pray, as I am not out of the woods yet. I know all of the good news, but I also remember that I was at this point May 2006. Please pray for the following:
One again I just want to thank all of you who are helping us in prayer, work around the house, meals, cards and letters, e-mails of encouragement, phone calls and visits. Your dedication and loving, serving hearts along with Gods grace are what has made this tough ordeal bearable.
Love in Christ
Cheryl
To all of you who have been praying for me so faithfully, read and rejoice.
- I have now been home 25 days - PRAISE GOD!!!!
- The Doctor in Minneapolis was so surprised to see me and to see how well I was that he was in awe. He said he didn't expect to see me, and when he realized I was here, before he saw me, he expected to see me in a wheel chair. He just gave me a big hug and said that it is his opinion that I am on my way up and out. He said that unless the clinic at Madison gave him reason to see me again he didn't see any reason I needed to come back to Minneapolis.
- The doctors in Madison have taken me off of insulin shots and reduced my daily steroid dosage.
- Although my body is still not producing it's own platelets, it has stopped using them up so fast. As a result, I now only have to go to clinic in Madison once a week.
- Each day I am growing stronger, at least twice sometimes three times a week, I am able to walk 1.5 miles (with Gene by my side of course).
For the first time in several months, I was able to sit through both Sunday School and Church - I was very tired but I did it!
All of the things above are answers to your prayers and I thank you so much. As the doctor in Minneapolis said, I have gone through some very hard times and my body is recovering very slowly, but it is recovering.
At present, we still have a very good Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with me daily, while Gene is at work. She is wonderful and I am very thankful to have her assisting me. A physical therapist comes to our home twice a week to check on my progress and sometimes gives me new exercises.

- Praise God for the healing that has and is occurring in my body.
- Praise God for the generous hearts and hands of all of you who continue to lift me and my family up in prayer.
- Pray that my body finally starts to make it's own cells and when that happens I will still be CANCER FREE!
- Pray that I will regain my strength soon so that I no longer need to have a CNA present.
- Pray that the pain and trouble I am having with my left hand / wrist will heal soon.
- Praise God for the fact that my family and I are working to get back to a normal life.
One again I just want to thank all of you who are helping us in prayer, work around the house, meals, cards and letters, e-mails of encouragement, phone calls and visits. Your dedication and loving, serving hearts along with Gods grace are what has made this tough ordeal bearable.
Love in Christ
Cheryl
