Retro Story --

A few days before Shelsi left the hospital, Les July, the volunteer musician who has been so supportive of her, came in to ask if she would be interested in participating in a documentary the hospital was doing to honor the volunteers. Shelsi has done a lot of work as an "extra" for TV and movies, and being a singer, she is comfortable in front of a camera, so she was happy to say yes.

At first they were just going to have the camera on her with no speaking. But I think when they discovered how comfortable she was, they decided to interview her. It went great! They invited her and her family to come back when they honor the Cedars Sinai volunteers one week in April, and they will also be sending her a copy of the documentary. Here are a few pictures from that interview.

Teary Eyed Shel as she tells a story

Shelsi is the daughter of Sheri and Ric Hancock, and the wife of Eric Stolworthy. On Jan 25th she was diagnosed with "Diffused Large B-cell lymphoma" -- in other words, Cancer. It manifested as an 14 cm mass in her chest that was pushing on her heart and constricting the blood flow to the rest of her body. Now she is out of Intensive Care but is still undergoing Chemotherapy treatments. Her husband Eric, her parents Ric & Sheri and all the rest of her family and friends thank you dearly for all your prayers and support!
