Some good news from Family Venation

Mrs. Venation had a malignant melanoma removed two weeks ago. Last week she had surgery to remove a sizable bit of skin and tissue from the same site. Yesterday we learned that there are no malignant cells in the chunk they took. None! She still has to see an oncologist but just as a precaution.

Thanks to you all for your support and good thoughts. We're still in the woods but it is damned sure good to have some good news for once.

I have been through this with my husband, so I know the angst you have both been feeling.

Good vibes and speedy healing.
