So so happy to hear things went so well. Have had you in my thoughts all day, hoping the surgery was over and you were groggy, but comfy and free of any cancer. Hope to see you soon. Betsy

Dear Elyse,
So happy to know that yesterday's outcome is so positive!! Definitely things are looking up, and as I have read through your blog, read so much about you, I have a sense of knowing you outside the boundaries of our particular way of knowing one another. I hope that you understand that I see people first as human beings, and the rest are just details . . . having said that, please know that I will continue to offer my support and prayers for you.

Hi Elyse,
So happy to read of the wonderful outcome of your surgery yesterday! As I have read through your blog, and as I have started to know you,I admire your strength, your positive outlook, and your ability to share and help others through the experience of your very personal and difficult situation. We know each other due to a professional situation that is outside the normal parameters of involvement in personallives and situations, however, I see people as human beings first, and the rest is just circumstantial details . . . so please know that I will continue to offer you strength, support, and prayers as I follow your journey of recovery.
