  5. Best wishes to you Babs. They've come a long way in cancer treatment. I was treated for prostate cancer last year with radiation. They said if I was younger they would just cut it out.

    So sad to hear such news. Hopefully you have friends and family close to you who can rally round and equally that you have doctors with positive outcomes to offer. Keep your chin up, keep on believing. Hoping for more positive news.

    1. Here's hoping for the best of all possible outcomes -- "clean margins" and "no spread". You're in one of the best cities for health care. I'm sure that doesn't make it any less worrisome, but it tips the odds in your favor!

  14. Wish you complete recovery Babs.I go into surgery tomorrow and again next week for Aorta Aneurysm discovered accidentally looking for sciatica issues last week. We are in the hands of others who are specialised.

  15. Babs, all human diseases suck. Several years ago, I came down with a severe auto-immune disease. Fortunately, various treatments over a year long period, were able to reduce almost all of the symptoms to no more than minor nuisances. The key information you gave in the description of your diagnosis is “early.” Early detection in cancer is key, and offers real possibilities that the cancer can be thwarted. I speak for all readers of your blog, that are thoughts are with you, and wish you a speedy recovery.

  22. All my very best wishes, Babs. My wife's been through cancer recently and, whilst it's not easy to face up to, take everything you need from friends and others who want you to get better.

  30. Best wishes, Babs. Early stage is the best stage treatment-wise. Spent the summer ferrying my best friend 250 miles return trip to his daily treatments, and dropping my mother-in-law (93yrs) off for her surgery and post-op follow-ups. It's not like the olden days when it comes to the big (or shrinking) C.
