Sheryl Crow says she is heading toward a full recovery from breast cancer surgery earlier this week.
News of Crow’s cancer battle was broken Friday on her Website and confirmed by her publicist, Dave Tomberlin, who announced the 44-year-old singer-songwriter underwent successful surgery on Wednesday.
“Her doctors think her prognosis is excellent,” Tomberlin said.
The nine-time Grammy winner, who described the procudure as “minimally evasive,” will now begin precautionary radiation treatment, according to a statement on sherylcrow.com.
“I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year,” Crow says on the site, adding the cancer was detected early.
“I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends.”
I think she’s one rockin’ chick.

I recently had two mammograms that showed calcification of teh left breast. I was told by the radiologist that it “appears” benign. However, the same morning of the second test I viewed Sheryl Crow on Good Morning America. She talked about having been told the very same thing and had a biopsy at the request of another physician and the cancer turned up. what advice can you give me if any? if had the choice i would have a biopsy for sure, i don’t think my insurance will pay for it without the radiologists referral.
