I too am just reading this Vandie. You have raised the most resilient and "switched on" daughters. They will surprise you and deal with this wonderfully. As will you! I will be thinking of you and sending all the positive thoughts I can muster.

Our caring thoughts and loving prayers are with you on the eve of your operation, Vandie You are not alone - an entire international community is there with you all the way. (Just hope your surgeons have enough space with all the people in there with you!) Just make sure someone lets us know how you are doing after the operation. |

I just heard from vandie's family - she made it through the mastectomy and reconstruction surgery - all went well - she's doing fine and will be in the hospital overnight.  Heal well sweet girl! |
