Sheryl Crow undergoes surgery for breast cancer
WASHINGTON - Rock star Sheryl Crow has undergone minimally invasive surgery on Wednesday for breast cancer and her doctors hope that she will recover fully.
"Her doctors think her prognosis is excellent," her publicist, Dave Tomberlin said. On her website, Crow said doctors had advised radiation treatment as a precaution, "I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends," she said adding that the early detection of the cancer seemed to have worked in her favor.
The 44-year-old Grammy award winner said that she would beat the cancer. "More than ten million Americans are living with cancer and they demonstrate the ever-increasing possibility of living beyond cancer," she added. Crow's latest album Wildflower is dedicated to former fiancé Lance Armstrong, who successfully fought testicular caner and won the Tour de France for an amazing seven times.
Armstrong said he was devastated to learn of Crow's illness, "Once again I'm reminded of just how pervasive this illness is, as it has now touched someone I love deeply," he said. Crow also directed visitors to her website to visit LIVESTRONG Survivor Care founded by Armstrong, "Based on my contact in recent days with Sheryl, her doctor and her family, I am confident that she will have a full and complete recovery and the world will be a better place for it," said Armstrong. He also requested her fans to remember her in their prayers.
