A personal update from Victoria:

My surgery earlier this month was successful, with the best possible outcome and likely no further treatment necessary.

But, in a twist that would seem unbelievable if I weren't living it, I was diagnosed with a third separate cancer and will be having another surgery today. I'm back down at Mayo as we speak, and will be out for another couple of weeks as I recover.

My latest cancer is highly curable, and my overall prognosis is still excellent. I should be back in the store after a few more weeks of recovery.

Thank you for all of your cards, well wishes, and kind words! It truly means the world. I'll look forward to seeing everyone in the store in a couple of weeks.
