I look for to being inspired by your art for many years to come. <br />Cancer is such a nasty disease. Turning 40 this year has brought on a wave of preventative maintenance visit to the doctor for me. My first mammogram as well as a colonoscopy (family history of colon cancer). With a clean bill of health I am thankful that it is the mammo that is once a year and not the colonoscopy prep ;) Amy Munsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282818370839157951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15723470.post-65774840031865399292012-08-20T17:50:22.781-04:002012-08-20T17:50:22.781-04:00Good news that things seem to be well under contro...Good news that things seem to be well under control and you made the decision that felt best.
