PGA golfer Phil Mickelson has announced that he will suspend his tour schedule while his wife Amy Mickelson receives treatment for breast cancer.  Mickelson has already withdrawn from his next two PGA events as Amy prepares what has been described as major surgery. 

The announcement is a major blow to the PGA Tour. As the Number two golfer in the world Phil Mickelson is a major draw. Phil Mickelson's wife is almost as big a draw. An attractive outgoing blonde, Amy Mickelson has become fixture at PGA events, often interacting with fans and signing autographs.

No doubt those in the golfing world and elsewhere wish her a speedy recovery. However, Amy Mickelson's age may be factor as breast cancer can be more aggressive in younger women.

Hello I just wanted to send out prayers to Amy and Phil.  I had breast cancer 10 years ago and with prayers and positive thinking we can all beat this.

All the best Amy, thinking and praying for you.

Hi Amy,

Each time I hear of another woman diagnosed with breast cancer I say a little prayer and think here is another member in a club nobody wants to join.

I know exactly the emotional roller coaster you are now on.  It does get better and the love and support of family, friends and 1000's of people you have never met will help you through this journey.

 I was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago and there is life after this diagnosis.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My very best regards,

Donna  (British Columbia, Canada)

Dear Amy, I had breast cancer 12 years ago and a friend told me to get an aloe plant, cut off one stalk, wrap it in plastic and keep it in my bathroom , and after I showered in the am and at night to cut off the end and  to rub some of the aloe juice onto the radiation  treated breast and I would not burn or blister and it worked beautifully and I never had blisters or  redness from radiation. Other friends said they wish they had known about this when they had radiation treatment. This works on any area being treated with radiation.

Some one who knows what it is like to deal with cancer

Amy/Phil

May all your good deeds come back to you in your times of turmoil. My/our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. Fortunately your families are strong and this is where we really realize what life is all about. Strong families create strong individuals that come together when things get difficult and bring a smile and an unexplainable feeling in our hearts that life is good and family is the best medicine ever. 

Live strong and long.
