I was doing heart tests the same day i think; i haven't heard much back. My doctor isn't a talker; said he would send me a letter after he reads the scans. Thanks for the nice mothers' day card! Hope you had a nice day with your kids and Andy and your parents. Love, Mom Mac Hi Julie,

Max's mom had the option where they take stomach fat and rebuild. Hers did not go so well. Turns out that she did not have enough fat (wish I could have given her some of mine!) to make her new breast match her other one. She is very uneven and still has to use a prosthesis. She is very dissatisfied with her results. Of course, there are differences in you and her. Her surgery was over 10 years ago, she was 66 years old when she had it done, her surgery was done by a relatively young military doc in San Antonio, and her recovery was difficult because she has never been in good physical condition. Would recommend that you ask to see pictures, I am sure you thought of that! Anyway, that's all I know on the subject. Love you! Lee Hey Jules,

That's neat that she got you your first cross stitch. I still have the one you did for me of the sewing machine, in peach colors, my favorite.

Grandma was a wonderful person from what I remember as a kid. I was so sad that I couldn't see her more as an adult. You're a beautiful writer and you definitely did Grandma justice in what you said. I know she was smiling down on you when you read this. Love you and glad to hear that you made it through the trip ok without too many problems. That was a beautiful eulogy.

I am was looking for a pattern to make for Mother's Day. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb for the second time. She has had 2 surgeries and will be starting chemo tommorrow. I've heard our blogs about what you are going through and anticipating what my mother will be going through. I know that losing her hair will be the hard part for her. She doesn't like to talk about the cancer and has never talked about how she feels. Everything with her is always OK. I live about 90 minutes away from her and will try to make it to all of her chemo treatments. I will continue to read your blogs so I can anticipate what my Mom is going to be going through. My prays are with you during your battle with cancer. Carolyn Julie,
