Any of you who attended events where Cherie played or did signings will know our friend Scott:

Well, I have some sad news for everyone,
Our friend Scotty, Scott Krueger, underwent another
round of tests for a 'stitch in his side' this week,
and today shared the news with me that yesterday he
was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. The cancer
is on both the inside and outside of his lungs. Two
doctors have agreed that he has 6-12 months to live.
Next Friday, they are going to implant a stint to
start further chemo, and the following week the
treatment starts. They are going to dose him once a
week for two months, in an attempt to slow down the
spread of the cancer, though they say there is no
cure.
I asked Scott if he would try looking into alternative
treatments, or come out here to St. Jude's Cancer
Treatment Center, (which claims to have the highest
success rate in the country), but he said he is not
interested. He said, "My card has been punched and I'm
going to accept it". He feels comfortable with the
doctors who have been treating him thus far, and
doesn't see a reason to try anything else.
This comes on the heels of the cancer treatment he has
already been enduring. There was cancer on his tongue
and down his throat - half his tongue was cut out, his
teeth on that side removed, and he has only been able
to take nourishment via a tube in his stomach for the
past several months.
Both of these cancers are linked to smoking, but Scott
never smoked, ever. Both his parents did though, and
he lived with smokers for 30 of his 45 years.
Please help us wish Scott a RECOVERY!
You can send your well wishes here, and we will pass them on to Scott
