I am pleased to pass on this information from Cheryl Broyles regarding the publication of her book.
Hello Friends and Family,
I am so excited to let you all know my book, Life's Mountains, is finally published!!!! I wrote the book to encourage others going through hard times in life.
In 2004, when Matt and I climbed Mount Shasta to celebrate my surviving "terminal" brain cancer four years, I saw the similarity between climbing up trails of a mountain and working our way through trials of life - that's what the book is about. It took me four years to write and publish the book, while going through brain surgery again... two times (in 2004 and 2007) when the tumor came back. I hope the book reaches out to people that need encouragement.
I went through the self publishing process with Xlibris. So the books are printed out soft or hard cover as ordered from www.xlibris.com/lifesmountains.html I wish I could send everyone the book, but I would have to buy it myself too!
What a great way for me to celebrate beating the statistics (that I would die within a year). The book is officially published in June 2008, eight years after my first brain surgery and diagnosis with Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme!!! The doctors never though I would be alive now, let alone write a book to encourage others going through hard times.
Thank you - too all of my friends and family. Each of you have played a significant supportive part of my life since I was diagnosed 8 years ago. I have always felt surrounded by love.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Broyles
8 year GBM survivor

It has been a while since we have posted information regarding Cheryl and the challenges she has had to overcome. See the link to her page on the left. She has faced several changes since the last time we spoke with her. She is moving into town so hopefully she will be able to attend meetings more often and perhaps, begin another book.
Congratulations Cheryl!
