Cancer Contagious??

As Owen was being released from UCLA about 3 weeks ago, we received news that a biopsy (which Anita had done due to spots in a mammogram) came back positive. We have met twice with her oncologist, Dr. Harness. He is an excellent doctor and assures us that this breast cancer is very low grade and very treatable. In his words, this is not life-threatening and probably would have taken a couple more years to be detected by finding a lump. He will treat her by removing a small amount (lumpectomy) and then giving her a few days of radiation. The lumpectomy will most likely occur on February 18th or 19th. In Anita's words, our bodies are falling apart, but our souls and spirits are doing great. Thanks for your support.
