Special birthday!??
Well the big 60 came on Tuesday and although a little miffed that I can get a Seniors Card (how can this be?

Happy Birthday
* Well it's my 45th birthday and I'm waiting for my surgeon to call with my pathology results. I had my surgery on Friday lumpectomy with an axilla dissection. * I had 2 tumors removed from my right breast, 1 was 8mm the other 14mm * Sometimes I am brave but sometimes I am petrified as to what I am in for. *

Inspirational words...
"What are my chances? It was a question I would repeat over and over. But it was irrelevant, wasn't it? It didn't matter, because the medical odds don't take into account the unfathomable.
