Remembering TNBC Sister Cheryl Wilkerson...

"Thank you to all my Sisters who fight right along beside each other no matter what their own circumstances....what a Blessing you all are!  Much Love! Cheryl"
"My original Dx TNBC Stage IIB was 10-27-11, clear margins and no lymph node involvement but had recurrence 8-20-12 and progression in June, 2013 while on Taxol Avastin. I have mets in both lung and a spot on my spine.... Stage IV." 
"I was originally on Cytoxan/Taxotere x 6, had 35 radiation but mets in less than a year. I then did Avastin/Taxol, then Erubulin. In September I had a lung biopsy, but started Xeloda while they wait to put me into a clinical trial. Then boom... Saturday night hit with a lot of dizziness, and symptoms. This all now confirmed with an MRI Yesterday showing brain mets." Underwent gamma knife to remove 6 cancerous tumors. - October 2013
Started Cytoxan and Methotrexate in pill form. Radiation treatments on tumor on chest that was affecting her pulmonary function and tumor on her spinal cord. - December 2013
Cheryl Wilkerson, age 56, lost her battle to TNBC on February 27, 2014.  We'll always remember your courageous fight, TNBC sister.
