Addiction 2021.2

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I used to have a sign that said "don't mistake your google search for my law degree" and I'm guessing doctors have it worse.

Aw, crap! Hope it's very early and very small, and highly operable.

Mrs. GeneJockey is a BC survivor, cancer free since 2005.

Very saddened to hear that. People all around us are getting that diagnosis. It's not easy. Really hope she doesn't have a hard road and beats it.

Crap. I hope it's amenable to non-toxic treatment.

Thanks, all. It was 1 cm on 3D mammography and needle Bx showed Grade 2, all receptors positive, HER2 negative. All in all, could be a lot worse.
