My sister (who has already beaten breast cancer once)has a biopsy tomorrow (Tuesday 2/20). She has another tumor, the same area the first one developed in. We’re hoping for the best . . . and expecting the worst, as you always do after the Big C has come to call. Of course you don’t know my sister, but I’m asking for your good thoughts, your positive affirmations, your prayers on her behalf for this day and all the potential days to come, if indeed this turns out to be a fight. I’ll keep you all posted. And I thank you. your humble TubaDiva ---
