Any Ken Burns is good stuff! I agree. There are only a couple I haven't watched and have watched most multiple times. I may make it a "thing" to randomly order his documentaries for her. She is a fan of history and personal stories in the same way I am and Burns does a great job with that. The next may have to be The National Parks. It is established that Baseball will not be on the list for her.  I spent about 6-1/2 hours on the phone with her yesterday. She has six weeks of chemo left (assuming she doesn't have to miss a treatment because of low white blood cell count). Radiation was the plan for after the chemo, but she sounded like she is really doubting that it is necessary. I really don't know. She did graduate from nursing school, but things are quite a bit different now and her primary focus was psychology. If anyone who has been through it or has experienced the process with a loved one has any suggestions concerning radiation therapy, I'm all ears and will transmit the message to her.

Hope all is going well-how about getting her Netflix? I know, if she's like my mom she'll never figure out how to use it LOL

It has been a while, but she completed radiation therapy in December and everything seems okay. I visited her last around Thanksgiving and she was about full-throttle as far as I'm concerned.  She told me about a new job she got recently, so that is a very good sign. I think she would be utterly stunned that this story is out here on the internet.

The same thing happened to my mother at about the same age....caught it early... a mastectomy was needed.....cancer free for last 7 or so years....Prognosis is good when it's caught early.... here's to hoping all goes well.

Glad to hear she recovered. Unfortunately, I lost my grandmother to lymphatic cancer 6 years ago, I didn't know her well. I'm glad to hear things turn out well for you spruett, you deserve the good news.
