Mrs Marble Falls had cancer surgery yesterday ...

... it was a very small tumor (9mm) and it was taken clean enough that the follow up will be one week of radiation in July.

I don't know if cancer will be eliminated or not, but there seems to be a lot better outcomes than there used to be.

... she supported me in any way I can think of, and she's a 28 year vet of CIA. She's encouraged and supported me in everything I've put my hand to for the last twenty years.

The fight regrets coming at us.

My wife has had cancer twice, and the second time was a rare form that is “always” fatal. Here, oncologists call it “the murderer.” She was that one in ten thousand that actually survived it (now ten years ago).

A cheer to our durable spouses!

and that it was eliminated.

I hope you are well too. It's hard to be the partner, just watching and waiting, unable to affect the outcome.

If you're going thru cancer. Been there myself, but getting clean margins for me meant having my left breast gone. Twenty eight years and counting!

...followed by radiation, chemo and a SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator.)

Cancer is not what it used to be.

All the best to you and your spouse.
