We have missed you. I'm so glad they caught this early and there was no lymph node involvement. Best wishes for your recovery! This will keep you from garden work for awhile, but you'll still be able to enjoy your blooms when they start.

Debra

We will all be thinking of you, Kay. It's a good time to spend recovering.

I'm sorry to hear of your illness but thankful that you caught it early. The cure rate for this disease is so much better then in my youth that there is every possibility that you will be back in your garden shortly and for a long time to come. God Bless you during this healing time..................Maryl

Hope you are out in that garden soon. Glad to hear you are on the mend and that everything went well! We missed you and are looking forward to some new photos from your lovely gardens.

Sherry

Thank you all. It has been an unexpected journey and I am glad to be this far, Not fun, but the doctor says I have a 99% chance that it will not return due to the type that it is and the how quickly it was found.

kay

Glad to hear it went well. My wife just had surgery for that too, also an early diagnosis, and no lymph node involvement either. Will you need radiation? They will for her for 3 weeks to be sure there is nothing hiding.

Brad, I chose the simple mastectomy rather than the lumpectomy to avoid the radiation but I will be taking an estrogen blocker for at least five years.

kay

Kay, I hope you have a quick recovery. I know you want to be in that garden.

Nancy

Brad, is your wife doing well? I hope her news is good too.

Nancy and Kate, you are so right. I have garden work calling my name.

kay

Brad, as with Kay, my sympathies and prayers will be for you and your wife.......Maryl

Kay Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Brad: Wishinng your wife a speedy recovery.

Julia

So sorry to hear this but glad it was caught early.

Yes, Janelle is doing well. Her radiation starts Wednesday and will be 3 weeks [15 days]. It will make her very tired. Our daughter in law started a meal train for us for during treatment time. We have lots of support!

Brad

Brad - Best wishes to Janelle that she has an easy time during radiation. I got horribly burned when I went through it, but I didn't suffer the extreme tiredness they warned me I would feel.

Debra

Brad, best wishes for Janelle during her radiation.

Nancy

Brad, best wishes to you and your wife. So glad you have good support!
