Health Break

I may be taking a little break from computer time for a few days. I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be undergoing surgery on Wednesday, November 4. For an update on the treatment, go to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nancysojka . You will need to set up a log in with your email address.

Thanks for all of the good wishes. I feel like I have a very strong group of friends and family behind me!
