Some of you are aware that a few weeks ago a small cancer was discovered on the interior wall of my uterus. Although all the women in my family going back several generations have suffered from breast cancer, I though that at age 75 I'd "made it" OK. The matter was addressed quickly and I had a complete hysterectomy within just a few days. The good news is that my oncologists tell me the small cancer had not "escaped" from within the uterus and that I'm "cancer free". I've had CT scans, X-rays and other tests and the oncologists tell me they find no sign of any remaining cancer. However, they suggest that I have a series of chemotherapy treatments as a "preventative" matter. Rather than receive the treatments on the usual three-week or monthly basis I've elected to go for treatment once a week. This means that I receive smaller infusions of the drugs each time with less impact on my body. It's still debilitating, however. I've now had four treatments and they will continue for a total of 18. My treatment is being done at a relatively new cancer center at Community Hospital in Missoula, about 110 miles from here. I couldn't ask for better care. A treatment takes 3 - 4 hours while in a large recliner chair. No-cost snacks and drinks are provided, and there are free cancer-coping items like wigs ... I'm starting to lose my hair ... hats, scarves, etc. available, courtesy of the American Cancer Society. All this has severely impacted my sewing on case and cover orders, of course. It's looking like I'll be able to sew a couple of days a week, and I'll be turning out your orders as quickly as I can. Your understanding has been heart-warming. Thank you! It's been my practice to acknowledge your order(s) and place them in my queue and then notify you when I'm about to start your order so you can make payment. There -are- several who have went ahead and made payment. If you want to confirm that all is well with your order, don't hesitate to inquire. Ken will be helping with the order tracking and correspondence. If you don't wish to wait for me to fill your order, feel free to cancel. FWIW, I -don't- plan to quit my little business, but if you want to cancel your order, I will certainly understand. 73!
