As all of you dear people know, because of breast cancer, I had a radical mastectomy last Friday and I returned home from the Buffalo VA hospital this Tuesday. This morning I had a VA appointment to see Dr. Karen Stanford one of the surgeons who had performed the surgery. She checked the 10 inch incision, removed the drainage tubes, changed the dressing and then checked the computer to see what Pathology had to say about what the future holds for me. What did she find? I'M FREE OF CANCER!!!!! Tamoxifin will be prescribed for me--a cancer inhibitor--and I will be fitted with a prosthetic by the VA in the near future. So I guess I don't need to tell you that all of your prayers have been answered and that the Lord listened to each and every one of them. To paraphrase an old favorite hymn of mine, "Loving Friends and God Will Take Care of You.." What more could anyone want in life? Bless you all, luvya, auntie vee
