A very good friend of mine for the last 29 years underwent a double mastectomy a couple of years ago. I myself had stage 3 cancer in 2004, requiring surgery. I was lucky because I did not require Chemo. <br /><br />I take it you are doing fine now and that there has been no reoccurrence.The Artist Within Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081658641380811738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-89452014703299534702010-02-28T15:38:52.052-08:002010-02-28T15:38:52.052-08:00what a gorgeous piece, I really love the saturated...what a gorgeous piece, I really love the saturated color and texture!Caterina Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866569809702127806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-76410396987521982512010-02-28T11:09:07.469-08:002010-02-28T11:09:07.469-08:00love the colors and textures of this piece, mary a...love the colors and textures of this piece, mary ann! i've been needing some hot red-orange in my daily life here in this blizzard alley! and great post, with all the little tidbits of self exposed! ;)GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-1836421754750603552010-02-28T10:06:17.066-08:002010-02-28T10:06:17.066-08:00More layers uncovering the mystery of Mary Ann.

Can you tell me about it? (Email if you don't want to divulge to public). And, what gallery was that? There used to be such a thriving art scene in Del Paso but now it has moved to downtown Sac where bigger galleries have moved in and promoted many artists. I love second Saturday there in the summer. Can't wait until it starts again. Were you close to any of the local artists that I might know? Great piece by the way. I am really fond of orange lately.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046623774704584939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-17358957036357931512010-02-26T14:54:07.016-08:002010-02-26T14:54:07.016-08:00It really is so nice to get to know you better...l...It really is so nice to get to know you better...listen to me...we've hardly met!
