Diary of a Metastic Colon Cancer Patient

By James R. Collins

This book is a testament to the courage and determination of my late mother Sherry Herrington in her 10-month long battle against this horrible disease.

Most of the story is in her own words that she wrote as her chemotherapy treatment progressed and how she felt.

It is my hope that this story will bring strength and courage to patients like my mother and comfort to the families that suffer along with them

To My Beloved Mother

There She is my Mother;

Whom I love so dearly

Sitting on the porch missing

Her old love affair.

She missed my daddy and my childhood Days. Smiles when she is thinking of those special years. Gone are the days of smooth Skin and hair as she gazes upon her wrinkled hands and gray hair this is still wavy and flows in the air.

Though we are apart my dear mother you will always Be in my heart. We had a lot of wonderful years some of joy and some of tears. You made us into the men we are strong and brave to face life in any way it comes good or bad both happy and sad

We will miss you my loving mother and will hold to those memories we made together while we shared our lives as one but your life on earth has ended your life with our heavenly father has just begun.

I take comfort in knowing that someday affair we will be together again to walk hand in hand in god’s promised land. Until we meet on that golden shore know our love for you is forever more. Rest in peace dearest mother until we are again together me you and my dear sweet brother.

Love Forever
