Thoughts and Prayers
2/24/09
Dear friends in the Pittsford Band:
Sharon's surgery went well Tuesday. Both the cancer surgeon and plastic surgeon were optimistic. Nodes were negative. Depending on
the results of the more detailed tissue analysis, she probably will need a course of radiation treatments but probably not chemo. She is
in good spirits and we are home. Than you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and Prayers
2/13/09
Dear friends in the Pittsford Band:
It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that my loving, caring, supportive of 46 years, Sharon, has been diagnosed with cancer in both
breasts. She will have major surgery at Strong Memorial Hospital on February 24. Sharon and I remain optomistic. Sharon and I would
appreciate your prayers, thoughts, and emails during these difficult times. Taking telephone calls at this time would be difficult for
Sharon at this time. Her address
email doublebell@aol.com
I'll keep you posted as to the outcome of the operation and future treatment and surgery plans.
The Pittsford Band means so very much to both of us.
Sincerely,
Lynn A. Selke
