Linda is married to Tom's older brother Ron. They separated yrs ago and they live in different houses but Linda still comes to all the family functions and for the sake of their 2 children they get along but my brother in law decided he couldn't stay with her anymore. It's a strange situation but it seems to work for them. Anyway, Linda had a biopsy the day after mine and they found Stage 1 cancer. She had a lumpectomy Monday and they feel they got it all since it was pretty small. She had no idea since she didn't have any symptoms . The mammogram had picked it up. That's why it's a good thing to have them yearly ! I always do mine just because I have family history and she didn't know it but she found out from her brother that their mother had breast cancer. She goes back to the surgeon Friday to find out if she will need chemotherapy, radiation or there is a new pill they can give you. She is going to be seeing Tom's Oncologist so she will be in good hands. If I can ask you , please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
