I'm distressed to hear of your situation, but comforted by knowing what a good attitude you have toward it. My mom had breast cancer in her 50s and died at 93. My wife's also had breast cancer and there's been no problem for over 25 years. <br />And let me also say that recently I was thinking about the early days of blogging when I didn't have many visitors each day, but there was a community of other bloggers who regularly commented on each others' blogs. It's good to hear from you again now. Let me know what happens. Sending healing vibes your way.

On the day of the foot of snow at the end of March I had to drive into Anchorage to see a surgeon about a lump in my breast. The conditions for driving were some of the worst I have seen. There were vehicles bigger than mine in the ditch. There were many. Some were fresh, the drivers still in their vehicles waiting for help. I was white-knuckled, realizing that cancer could eventually take my life, but on that road between Mat-Su and Anchorage, a safe arrival was a matter of skill and luck. The road could take a life or at least a means of family transportation in an instant. <br /><br />I saw a family in the U-Med district pushing a stroller. They had children and shopping bags and we're walking in the street as they could not walk on top of the berm. I was scared for them.<br /><br />I had the operation to remove the lump a day and a half ago and I am awaiting a pathologist's report late next week to find out if I have cancer. I am not scared-- I think that drive into town imprinted on me that cancer was not the greatest of my worries. Stress Management and Other Things...noreply@blogger.com
