Start of the battle
Our lives were shattered by Sherrell’s diagnosis. Putting things back together again is practically impossible. The time between diagnosis and the actual surgery is the toughest time emotionally. The doctors do a ton of tests and look for signs the cancer has spread and after each test you’re anxious for the results. It’s an up and down roller coaster ride leading up to surgery which usually has an open ended outcome based on what the surgeons find. To complicate things, we really wanted to stay in
After two frantic weeks of research and help from family we settled on a private clinic in
On Dec. 16th Sherrell went under the knife. There was a suspicious lump in the right breast and the left breast still needed more tissue to be removed as well as the sentinel lymph node. The possible outcomes ranged from a bilateral (both sides) mastectomy to just a single tissue removal and a few lymph nodes. We had a plastic surgeon also standing by for reconstruction if the cancer was too difficult to remove and a single or double mastectomy had to be performed.
Surgery lasted only 2 hours. They were able to remove a clean section on the left side and the lump in the right side was benign which they also removed. They tested the sentinel lymph node and 3 others and found microscopic traces of cancer. On paper this is considered a negative result, but because the meaning of the presence of microscopic cancer isn’t yet fully understood, the surgeons removed more nodes (levels 1 and part of level 2) for further testing. The overall results are really positive and our chances of killing off the cancer are excellent.
Sherrell’s recovering slowly and next week we’ll meet with the doctors again to discuss the follow up treatment. It will most likely consist of 6 months of chemotherapy with about 5 weeks of radiation therapy. Hopefully we can get the chemo done in
Thanks to everyone who has written letters of support because they are working!
If I could only be remembered for one thing it would be for beating cancer. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.
Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
