I've talked to another doctor about going in and taking out some of that bone and getting clear margins. We could make it so that it isn't going to be a real major surgery. After all that she'd been through, Sullivan was willing to do anything that would increase her chances of the cancer not coming back. On March 7, Sullivan had that more aggressive surgery as part of her ribs and sternum were removed. Thankfully, no cancer was found in the area the doctors took out.
Breast cancer is no laughing matter.
Yet, laughter was a key component of emotional therapy for both Sullivan and Cunningham. At first you don't think they're funny, but afterwards you start laughing. She brought in this one comic. Cunningham found coming to the office everyday provided her with much needed humor therapy. I never missed a day of work and a lot of the reason for that was because I needed to come and laugh.
