Some of you may know or remember, but back in 1998 Jolene went rhrough breast cancer. Lumpectomy and radiation seemed to have obliterated it. May have, maybe this is just new, I don't know, but it has reappeared in the same breast. Mostly calcification in a scattered pattern in scar tissue.
Yesterday she went rhough a double mastectomy. they took the second as a precaution. The surgeon told us that the tissue looked good and while we need to await pathology, he felt confident in the results.
We should still be on track to get to Yellowstone in April, but may be delayed a few days for checking up.
We have been through this in the past, thought we had it all behind us, but guess not. We can do this again, rather not have to, but here we are.
Please remember Jolene in your prayers, some for me would be appreciated as well, but she is the one in need. I know others here who have participated in this fight, so I know yoou know what we are going through and what is ahead for us. We will fight it, make the most of it, and try not to let it affect us.
The Susan G Koman Foundatiuon is a wonderful resource, they have been very supportive. The counselor check in with Jolene daily, and has been amazing. We have supported them in the past, and will continue, but at a greater enthusiasm. Please, if someone is walking for them, add your pledge.
Thank you all, from our hearts,
Love, Bill & Jolene

It was a ruff day for me as I'm sure it was for you as well. Just as I told my mother, keep your head up and don't let it get you down. Sounds like your not
