Whew!

Well, we had a bit of a scare here at Casa La X-Donk. The Missus had her first mammogram recently and got a call back. Apparently, there were some calcifications found.

In most cases, these are benign but to be on the safe side she had a biopsy on Tuesday and results came back a short while ago - negative. Certainly something to monitor over time, but as of now she's in the clear.

Since we have Mother's Day coming up this Sunday I wanted to share the story and remind everyone to put aside any "Hallmark holiday" cynicism you might have and make a special effort to appreciate the mothers in your life that you're fortunate enough to have.

Have a great weekend!

Excellent news. Having been through that scare back in December, I can understand how you all felt.

Bravo for your wife to have a mammogram and then the biopsy. I wasn't as lucky with mine but all is well now. Have a drink on me because that biopsy isn't easy nor is the wait for results. Happy Mother's Day.
