Hello All,

Fred just sent Sherry and me some very good news about Patsy, which Fred asked that I pass on to the many of you who have expressed concern to Fred in various threads in this forum and in email to him.

Here's what Free said:<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1>quote:</font>

Great News!! Patsy's surgery was a complete success. A complete mastectomy was done and only one lymph node was taken. The final pathology report shows it to be NEGATIVE. After her next appointment on the 26th, if all goes as expected, they will set her up with an oncologist to discuss further treatment. The doctor said she may be "busy" for the next 6 months. However, any further treatment she opts for would be "precautionary" and not because of any bad information found.

... I don't think the results would have been the same without the prayers and well wishes of so many wonderful people ...

Cheers,
Fred<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>It sounds like Fred is going to be busy for a little while before he can reconnect to all of us. But I suspect he'll be peeking into the forum as soon as he gets a chance, but not any sooner than it might take him to absorb the good news about Patsy.

Cheers
