Hello Friends,
Many of you have written letters to Sandy West and have inquired why there is
no new music or merchandise. It has come the time for us to address this
issue. It has been a very hard year for Sandy.
In August of last year, Sandy was diagnosed with lung cancer. She has battled
bravely and endured an extensive course of chemotherapy which is still
continuing. We did not release this information as Sandy wanted her illness to
remain a private issue, and to reemerge with new projects, cancer free.
Earlier this week, Sandy received some news that has made her reevaluate the
issue of privacy vs her need for your prayers and support.
In addition to the existing lung cancer, Sandy was diagnosed with a brain
tumor. She is currently undergoing radiation therapy in addition to the
chemotherapy. It is a very hard time for her, and while we remain optimistic and
hopeful, at this time we ask for your prayers and for you to please send out your
positive and healing energy to Sandy.
We have set up a special e-mail for Get Well letters. Sandy won't be able to
respond, but you can rest assured she will receive your letters. The greatest
joy in Sandy's life is her fans. She considers all of you family and would
sincerely benefit from your letters of encouragement at this time.
We have set up a Paypal account for Sandy as well. Even though she has some
medical insurance, her bills are piling up alarmingly, and any amount you'd
like to donate, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.
Please email your Get Well wishes to: lettersforsandy (at) yahoo.com
