Change is Good

by svtrance

Monday October 5, a few boat projects completed today, then late afternoon Larry left Trance after 57 days, to fly back home. He dropped us off at the laundromat on his way to the airport.

Tuesday October 6, this day was very stressful as our youngest daughter had surgery today and we’re 5000 miles away. She insisted we not fly home and stay in Hawaii.

Both of our daughters have the BRCA1 gene mutation. This past September Beth opted for a double mastectomy and reconstruction, today Danielle had the same procedure, both were preventative measures. So proud of them for their choices. Several other females in the family had breast cancer who have the BRCA1 mutation.

Before surgery

We chatted with her via FaceTime, later in the day after the procedure, she said she’s feeling great!

  4. Didn’t realize it was 57 days with Larry, no wonder Debbie decided on the spur of the moment to jump in the car and drive to Amy’s for Sue’s birthday.🤷
    It must have been nerve racking for you not to be with Danielle, I talked to her early and she said she told you not to come. Only 1 allowed in and she had support from Mike, Beth and other’s. She is a strong women and was prepared for this difficult decision.
    Love you, Terry
