Great way to begin Year Four!

We're still recovering from being away for a week, the stress of the medical stuff, the reunion with the varmints (cat yowling at 4:50 a.m.!) and so on. Taking it slowly.

Yesterday was our third wedding anniversary, celebrated quietly at home. In the long run, the most important event was the phone call Sandy received from the Mayo: They got it all!

There were no cancer cells found in the marginal tissues around the section that was removed. That, with the discovery at the time of surgery that there was no involvement of the lymph nodes, means NO follow-up surgery will be needed, no mastectomy!!! Great news, a great relief.

They also moved up and consolidated our follow-up visit, so we go back to Scottsdale on the 12th for appointments on the 13th. This will only be a 3-day trip, instead of the 4-day planned earlier. At that time, we should learn definitively about what follow-up treatment will be needed, radiation and/or chemo.

Plus, we got word that the pictures we submitted to the Mesa Verde Association a year ago have finally been approved and we will be providing our keepsake photo cards to them for sale at the Mesa Verde National Park outlets. Nice plus for FeVa Fotos!

The sun is finally coming up, after a night with temperatures that approached freezing and it should be a beautiful day. And we have tickets for the Slide (Ireland) music show at the WNMU Fine Arts Theater tonight. Should be lively and fun! Life is such a good thing! tv
