2020 was just a flat out roller coaster. Bought our place in Havasu, Covid kicked into full gear, market tanked, spent a shitload of time on the water, oldest moved to St Louis, spent a ton of time riding bikes/dirt cars, youngest moved out, market came back
Figured 2021 would be a cake walk but it turns out not so much. After a 12 year hiatus my wife’s breast cancer decided to make a return appearance. The good news is that they caught it early during her regular check-ups. Every MRI, scan and ultrasound outside the breast has been negative. Looking forward to getting today’s surgery over and getting back to a little more normal.
Don’t take a moment with your wife/kids for granted. Never know when you’re gonna bite into the chocolate with the shitty Cherry filling.

So sorry to hear about your wife. I'm glad they caught it early and will be hoping for a successful procedure and an easy recovery.

We've had a couple friends (and my mom) that are breast cancer survivors that had it come back a second time as well. Breast cancer isn't the death sentence it used to be. The technology and procedures have grown leaps and bounds. As you said, get the surgery over, get to healing and get to living!! It'll be all good. 👍 👍

We are going through this also. My wife had the lumpectomy 3 weeks ago. The word is, no Chemo but 3 weeks of radiation plus hormone blocker pills for 5 years.
Hopefully a year or so from now we are both celebrating one year cancer free.

Best to your wife and family!! Mine's been cancer free for 16 years and she kicked it's ugly ass Twice, 2 years apart from each other. They know a whole lot more about it now, she'll be fine doing what she does in no time. 👍 👍

Congrats to both of you. Sounds like you’re through the toughest part. Those hormone blockers were a bit of a ride though. Threw my wife into early menopause. Holy hell. At least i had the kids around to spread the love.

Thanks Steve. Yeah, they just finished a 9hour operation. Talked to both surgeons and everything went as planned. Hoping to get her home Sunday. Don’t think we’ll back back in the Can Am anytime real soon but hope to be back out in a few weeks.
Heading home to drink a glass of wine until the bottle is gone. :oops:
