She did it. She got on that damn cancer bus. She showed up at the starting line and started the marathon. She has a lot of the race left to finish but she conquered heartbreak hill today.
The surgery went perfectly. Nothing unexpected. She is one bad ass lady.
We cannot thank you enough for all of your love and prayers.

Agreed- bad-assed! So happy to hear that the bus got off safely❤️
