Jenny & Jason (my niece and nephew got married)



Hi everyone,

Sorry it has been awhile as I had my nieces wedding and that was exciting and lovely.
My health is good, my surgery 4 weeks ago went well, they got the cancer and took 8 lymph nodes. I am healing up over the course and started radiation this week. That is going on for 6 weeks total. I am shooting for Sept. reconstructive surgery, phew.

I have to say through this experience I had several people willing and able to support me and that made a huge difference. I was overwhelmed with generous hearts from everyone close to us. Thank you from the deepest part of my soul, you touched my life in a huge way. I have such a long list, I am sending out individual notes to you.

The lesson learned through this is to enjoy each day to the fullest, yes it is cliche however it is really the truth in a nutshell.

Don't sweat the small stuff and be kind and forgiving in heart and you will reap so many rewards, like I have received over this course since being diagnosed in December.

My life is very busy with constant appointments, so please know that I will make it around to you, just bear with me until August where I should loosen up.

Thanks for being so wonderful. Lily is great, she is at a cabin with my friend Pam for a week having a blast. That was a gift she will remember.

Bye for now. Dawn
