We are seeking your help to help our dear friend Carol Fuller. We are raising funds to purchase her a Sleep Number Bed so that when she returns from the Cancer Treatment of America in Philadelphia she will be comfortable. The difference of the money will be used to offset medical and traveling expenses. Below read a personal note from Carol sharing some of her journey of battling cancer. Any amount is appreciated remember to give Cheerfully because you never know if you may need a helping hand.

A NOTE FROM CAROL FULLER
In February of 2013, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Colon Cancer. We celebrated my oldest child's birthday 1 month later in March as a result of this. I started taking chemo treatments locally in NC, and after only 3 sessions decided I will no longer continue it because of the lack of compassion I experienced there and how the patients literally look like the dead walking. In April of 2013 my eldest child Frederick James Fuller who was 29 at the time started to become lethargic & complain of no energy. He went to the ER & was told basically he had high calcium levels & needed to change diet & get rest. 1 month later on Memorial Day of 2013 my husband Fred took him again to ER, this time the ER Doctor upon basic examination indicated it appeared that his body was full of cancer. Upon further testing he was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic colon cancer. Our son transition to Glory on June 25,2013. I continued my regiment with supplements and although my immune system was getting stronger the disease was continuing to spread. In November of 2013 I decided to take a trip to NY for thanksgiving to spend time with family, although I was able to drive up I was unable to return without the assistance of my mom. Upon returning home my husband noticed I was getting worse & I told him we needed some help. We decided to seek cancer centers and we found one that we decided to go to and it was some 330 miles away. I have since taken over 50 chemo treatments that can last up to 3 days at a time. In April of 2016 I was told there was no more active cancer in my body ( hallelujah thank you Jesus). Approximately 3 weeks later I started to have some discomfort in my pelvic area with bleeding and after further testing it was revealed in July that I have a mass there. When my husband & I returned to the center for what we thought was a short stay , I was told I would need radiation because surgery would be risky after radiation I will be having surgery. We were also in formed that our short stay visit will be at least 30 days & can possibly be up to 45. We left behind our youngest daughter Breanna a sophomore in college and son Malachi who will be starting middle school . As we were traveling here God spoke Isa 46:10 to me & when I looked it up I rejoiced.““In the beginning, I told you what would happen in the end. A long time ago, I told you things that have not happened yet. When I plan something, it happens. I do whatever I want to do.”Isaiah 46:10 ERV. This so blessed my husband & I. God also spoke to him “The Lord says, “My thoughts are not like yours. Your ways are not like mine. In the same way, my words leave my mouth, and they don’t come back without results. My words make the things happen that I want to happen. They succeed in doing what I send them to do.”
Isaiah 55:8, 11 ERV
We are encouraged in Christ that I will be healed & whole, but we still must go through the process. My husband always says to Be A Blessing, which means to make a difference in someone's life and I say remember to laugh often, live will and love much.
