Sherry Pollex became a champion for survivors of cancer when she and longtime boyfriend and NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Martin Truex Jr. established the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation. At 35, Sherry was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer and doctors estimated that her chance of survival was less than 30% within 5 years. She underwent a radical hysterectomy, debulking surgery and 17 months of chemotherapy. For her 37th birthday, she launched SherryStrong.org to empower women to know their bodies, recognize the symptoms of ovarian cancer and learn how integrative and holistic practices may complement conventional medicine.
Cheryl, my wife & I wish you good luck & keep your spirits high. I lost one of my best friends to cancer & never complained.

Our thoughts and prayers are always with you.
My wife went through the same surgery, 6 months of chemo and a
lot of radiation. The surgery for the ovarian cancer was bad.
She is now, by the Grace of God, in remission and we wish the same for you.

Hi Sherry! I have posted on a different website of yours??? last week as well as sent you an email. Last year when I first heard about you and that you were building an integrative wellness center in Charlotte, I instantly perked up in my seat! I too am a cancer survivor- though it was a stage 2 Hodgkins Lympohma, it turned out to be the fight of my life. I ended up getting 4 months of the standard chemo regimen, 2 months of another chemo that a test by RGCC confirmed would really work, a stem cell transplant that took about 2 months from prep to recovery then 17 days of radiation. All in all,the whole process took about 13 months and was quite grueling at times. It might not have been as bad if my brother had not died from the same exact disease in 1995 at the age of 29!Though his tumor was quite smaller- size of an egg; mine was the size of a grapefruit with 2 “branches” as well. My mother also died of cancer (different type) in 2001. I totally credit my naturopathic doctor for this and assisting me to stay in remission. Could not have done it without integrative medicine!! I am going back to school at the age of 51 to get a degree in Health Education and Promotion and plan to pursue additional nutritional education. I would absolutely love to at least see/volunteer/intern/work at your facility once it’s ready. I am so grateful you are spreading the word about integrative and what I like to call God’s medicine!!

Sherry, Your an amazing lady and an inspiration. You always treat everyone great and are an inspiration to so many. I used to work in service dispatch and wanted everybody to know how great you treat every person, at every level. You and MTJ will always be in our hearts and prayers!

I too am an ovarian cancer survivor that has been battling since 2016. It’s exhausting. God bless you. Praying it all gets better for both of us! It’s SO important for women to know their bodies – that’s my advice.
Keep up the great attitude – it makes all the difference – positivity is the way!
