The Good News

I am totally pleased to announce that the double mastectomy has been completed and the surgeon says it went well. At this stage there is no cancer in the lymph nodes which is the best news that we have received in along time. AMP is still in surgery, the second proccedure which should last at least another hour. The plastic surgeon is installing tissue expanders. We might have a bionic amp in our lives, sounds formidable.

Hello sweethearts. Can't wait to see you all. Love your descriptions of Anna's radiance. I can just imagine. This was such a good idea, the blog. We are so relieved, so happy. We'll all be interested to know what the next few days involve, when you get a chance, Larry. How long in the hospital, food quality, comforts at home and what we can do from here - send great dvds?

Love,

Leslie and Tom, surrounded by the two diabetic cats and the third with a spider bite.

Yeah! Yeah and More Yeah! No stuff in the lymph -- Amp "radiant" -- wasn't that how Charlotte described Wilbur? I am glad you both like to write -- feels good to have the connection -- but both times I tried to blog on my computer -- I got the Mac rainbow ball of no return and had to give up -- so this is on Bill's computer -- he also sends wishes of radiant healing. The Potato Rock rules! Love, Gretta & Bill
