Whew! 6-mo mammogram after breast cancer surgery comes back GOOD. [View all]

I'm a happy camper today, folks. It's one more step out of the woods I got lost in this past February. Stage 1C tumor, had surgery and 16 days radiation. So far, so good. MRI is up next, this coming Feb.

I celebrated by replacing my completely broken food processor (bought 20 yrs ago at a yard sale for $5) with a new one. I wasn't going to need one if I was going to croak soon, but it looks like I will be shredding cabbage for a few more years.
