I also want to join and write to you. I wish that you do not lose heart, that you go forward, remembering old Otis, who overcomes all difficulties and moves on. You are going through difficult days, but please know that your friends are with you: the participants of the bear chat and all the beautiful bears of Katmai. We all send positive and healing thoughts to fight the disease. You can always write to me on my email. Senushka 15 (Angelica )

May you have many days of light & love during your difficult journey.  From reading all your posts, I know you are dedicated and thorough. Attributes you will need to come out on the better side of this. I’m sure you will be fine.

As a survivor/thriver of breast cancer & many other illnesses, I know that all the hard work is worth it. You will shine with goodness and be glad that you met this challenge head on.

If you have a really tough day, just think of our bears. They face significant challenges every single day and somehow find their way back. 480 Otis is one who I think of during a bad day. If he can make it back each year, surely we can!

Sending blessings your way so that you can meet every challenge and claim success. I know you can do it!!

Bear hugs,
Cynthia (CynF)

Cheryl,
It was really good to see you posting videos again. They are valuable to everyone who is on the Explore chat. Thank you for your many hours of work to keep the lives of the Brooks bears so well documented. In the rushed world of chat it is easy to simply forget the work of very dedicated people like you who keep those who cannot watch all day informed about the latest news from Bear Central. Hoping you can remain positive, and come out on the other side having kicked the big “C” to the kerb. With wishes for blessings for you every day.Barbara

I am sending love and prayers your way and I know you will come out on the other side of this Stronger Than Before ( an Olivia Newton John song title, give it a listen and I hope it helps you as it did me). God bless and Never Give In (another ONJ song that helped me). I look forward to more of your wonderful videos! If you would like to chat please reach out, I'm here for you!

Cheryl,
I think the first video I saw of the bears at Katmai was one of yours, a friend showed it to me and suddenly I realized there was a whole secret world of bears out there I was missing. Life is really difficult at times, it seems more often than not recently, but you (however indirectly) brought me to this joyful place within the bear community and I hope that you are doing okay. Your art and videos are always a bright spot for me and I go back to watch your videos often. Even though I've never met you in person I can tell from your posts that you are a kind and genuine person. You are extremely loved by all of us here. Thank you for all that you've done, and I look forward to seeing you online!

I heard your favorite was Otis, however I haven't drawn him, please accept this very fluffy eared summer 306 (806jr). I hope her incredible ears bring a smile to your face and that you keep on trucking during this rough time. Also Otis long bear naps are perfectly respectable. Its a lot of work to kill cells whose main goal is to not die. -Radioquiet

You are such a treasured member of our bear community! Some of us have walked that cancer trail and are here beside you as you do the same. You'll be prayed for by so many of us for complete healing by God, who loves you! The best thing about having cancer in this era of time is that success rates are much higher because of the ongoing research and improvement in treatments so be encouraged by that!
Big hug!
