On August 23rd, my sister Traci was diagnosed with breast cancer and her battle began. But cancer picked the wrong girl to mess with. Traci is one of the toughest chicks I know. For example, she got her MBA while working and parenting a toddler (Jack)...oh and did I mention that she was also pregnant with Ryan? She's definitely a warrior through and through so cancer doesn't stand a chance.

Surgery went well

Traci's surgery began about 40 minutes later than planned but I just got word from Todd that it went well and she is on her way home.  I'm sure the delay irritated her because she wasn't allowed to eat or drink after 5am today!  Anyway, Todd said she's pretty groggy and nauseous so I'll bet she'll be glad to get home.  Thanks to everyone for your calls, emails, comments and prayers!

The battle begins

Traci has decided to show cancer who is boss right off the bat and have a double mastectomy on Tuesday.  Believe or not, the surgery is outpatient and only takes a couple hours so she'll be in at 2pm and probably be discharged around 5pm. In Traci's words:  "I'm super confident that I'm going to knock this thing out."  Go get em sis!
