Some of you know I had my first appointment with my cancer doctor today, so I’m sharing an update for everyone asking. I appreciate your kindness.
I don’t have to have chemo!
I’ll need a few radiation treatments and a hormone inhibitor pill daily for five years. I’ll see my cancer doctor every three months for a few years and then once a year if no cancer returns.
The first appointment with my radiologist hasn’t been scheduled yet, but that will be the next step.
Mr. Mickey is doing very well and will not need to see his doctor again for six months.
Outfit details include a years-old red blazer and Kate Spade bag from Dillard’s, plain black straight-leg slacks, and loafers. The white tank is too long, and the pants don’t have belt loops, so I added a belt over the tank to make the proportions appear better. Tank – Pants – Loafers – Similar Items: Bag – Belt – Blazer

Answered prayers for sure! Wishing you and Mr. Mickey all the best. I love that you are back posting about fashion and your adventures with Mr. Mickey. I look forward to each new post. Take care!
This is wonderful news, so happy reading your update and next steps moving forward. Red is a power color – great choice and I like the outfit you put together. Red is the color of energy, the symbol of life, evokes strength and confidence. You look dynamic!
Such good news about your treatment! Sounds like you have the same treatment plan that I had. It will be five years for me March, 2024. The radiation is fairly easy but do follow the skin care instructions at the radiation site. God Bless
That’s great news! I just want to add that I was inclined to skip my mammogram this year but, because of you, I had it done a few weeks ago and everything was fine. Thank you!
So glad you don’t have to have chemo! I hope the radiation treatments go well. Considering you have such a healthy lifestyle, I would think you have great odds of defeating this cancer. Wishing you the best.
So so happy for you. You are the fourth woman I know who has had this diagnosis since last October all with different treatment options and all thriving! I live in Canada and some hospitals here have programs that register women to have a reminder every year to schedule their mammograms. A reminder to us all to keep this up. Good luck!
So very pleased for you Susan. I am in the same position as you. Grade 3 cancer but found early, two ops to remove as the margin was tight the first time. Sample sent to America for Oncotype DX testing and like you, blessed to not need chemo. Started on my meds and appointments lined up for bone density scan and pre radiotherapy time but so very thankful and grateful with how things are.
Good luck to Mr Mickey and blessings to you both. xx
Susan,
You look wonferful so glad you anf Mr. Mickey are doing well. If possible would you be able to provide tips for being camera ready when you ate atrending a Zoom call. I have white. short, very curly hair with fair skin and blue eyes. Unfortunately, my scalp and the top of my head is quite thin. I am 5 ‘2″ so I easily feel dwarfed. My office has off white walls. My office window faces west.
Oh, Susan! Praise God for answered prayers! I had tears well up in my eyes as I read today’s post. May God continue to richly bless both you and Mr. Mickey as you work toward healing.
Warmly,
Debbie Roberts
You are truly beautiful! I wish you the very BEST!
I am 4 years out of breast cancer with what sounds like your identical diagnosis and treatment plan.
Off that subject, I do have a question for you:
I too have been wearing the same lipstick as you and found out it is discontinued…..did you find a replacement yet to the “ Little Black dress” lipstick?
I have your same coloring and since you mentioned that lipstick years ago… that has been my favorite.
If you can suggest a “look a like” I would be so very appreciative.
I struggle with that and you have been such a big help to me. Thank you so much!
Blessings to you Susan!
Warm regards, Karen
Again, not pushing my faith but, as a prayer warrior I claim this as an answer to prayers for the best least invasive cure. By using your platform to inform, hopefully women will be motivated to stay mammogram current. Thank you for sharing your journey. Continuing to pray over you both.
I had the same diagnosis as you with the same treatment. I am a seven year survivor.
As someone else suggested, follow the skin care procedures recommended by your radiologist. If you end up using aloe vera on your burns, you can keep it in the refrigerator for a more soothing affect. No one told me that at the time. Believe it or not, your life is about to be enriched. You are probably about to meet some very wonderful, courageous people who are going through both radiation and chemo, and it will make you so much more appreciative for the human spirit, your early diagnosis, and life in general. Compared to some, your journey will be a breeze. Best of luck. You got this.
I know you’re relieved because your treatments mirror mine in 2011. Phew. Dodged the chemo bullet. Radiation is nothing to be worried about — although you may get fatigued and want to briefly nap in the afternoon. Keep your energy levels up as best you can. This too shall pass.
Such great news for you and Mr. Mickey, Susan. That’s really wonderful to hear! This is a lovely outfit, I especially like the red jacket and the metallic bag is the perfect touch.
p.s. Happy 67th birthday, a bit belated!
Hi. So happy that you do not need chemo. What a blessing!!! Keep eating healthy and exercising like you always do and everything will continue to go well with you. Also, thanks for the update on Mr. Mickey.
I appreciate you and your posts. You’re a truly beautiful lady and I’m happy that you don’t have to go through chemotherapy. I pray the radiation will be a good solution.
Glad to hear that Mr Mickey is doing well.
I enjoy your adventures. May you have many more!
Jennifer Neeb (Canada)
Prayers still being said for you and Mr Mickey. I am a cancer survivor (Ovarian Cancer, stage 3) I was only 27 years old with an 8 year old daughter. NowI am 75 and our daughter is 55. I came up fighting and followed the doctors orders. I had a very supportive husband and good family and friends. Hang in there. This will pass.
Good news for you both; so glad to read this!! I have a mammogram, 3D, every year and then also checked by my Gynecologist once a year. Every couple of years, I have a senobright which gives more detail. Also a bone density test every other year. We have to be our own advocates, and be vigilant about keeping to a schedule for preventive maintenance.
Susan, you look lovely as always, and hope you and Mr. Mickey continue to experience good health and wonderful experiences together!
WOOHOO! Avoiding chemo is huge! I was fortunate not to have to have it either. I have been on an AI (aromatase inhibitor, the hormone-suppressing pill) for four out of five years now. I tolerate it reasonably well, with some joint pain that is usually managed with Tylenol. Some people are luckier with side effects; some not so lucky. If you find you are having intolerable side effects with one AI, ask to try switching to another. (There are 3-4 different ones that are usually prescribed.) I didn’t do well with my first one, but have done much better with my second. Glad to hear Mr. Mickey is also thriving. All the best.
You look so good, it’s hard to believe you have an illness. I’m very sorry to hear this but thank you for sharing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Mr. Mickey.
You look awesome. I am glad you have a plan with your Dr. and that Mr. Mickey is doing well. Take care of each other and be kind to yourself. Thanks for the up date. I’ll be praying for both of you. I really enjoy your blog.
I am so happy that you received such a positive report…ALSO that Mr. Mickey is doing so well. I had a kidney removed in 2019 due to a large maligancy that HAD NOT spread…, my DIL had breast cancer two years ago with chemo and radiation, but she is now cancer free. May God bless us all and the medical staff who study and care for us. You and Mr. Mickey support each other…. Enjoy all of your beautiful posts❤️. Barbara
That is wonderful that you do not have to have chemo. I am a year older than you and had breast cancer in 2017; lumpectomy (lymph node involvement) followed by chemo and radiation. Six years out and I am more than fine. I am not on any medications.
I would just like to caution you to really keep your range of motion complete in your affected shoulder by completing the exercises they give you after radiation. I thought they were too simple (I am fit and limber from yoga and almost daily exercises since forever) and didn’t think they would matter (and I was tired). They matter. I don’t have limitations any more but it took awhile to get it all back.
You have provided a lot of help to others through your blog with your own experiences, so I offer the same to you. I wish you a full and quick recovery.
Dear Susan!
You look as radiant as ever!!!
So thankful no chemo
Will be keeping you in my prayers for NO adverse reactions to any meds or treatments!!!
Same for your precious Mr, Mickey.
Loving you from TEXAS
Carole
Susan & Mickey, this is the absolute best news I have heard all year! I’m thrilled, yet not surprised that wonderful things happen for wonderful people like the two of you 🙂
Thanks so much for the update. You look fantastic! And so healthy!
I had the same treatment a year ago and didn’t have many problem at all… some skin burning similar
To a sunburn and sensitivity … So many of my friends have also had breast cancer and are doing well. I wish you all the best as you move ahead! Thanks for your transparency and willingness to share.
Awe that is good news no chemo Susan, and Mr Micky 6 mths before next review. You both can now look forward to Christmas and of course Thanksgiving
in America . You can enjoy them with a weight off your shoulders .It seems early to talk about these celebrations but a blink of an eye and they will soon be upon us.
I love your cheerful red cardigan and the black slacks are my favourite length and cut. Thank you for sharing your health journey it’s very brave of you .
Take care Pamela from Wales UK
Hi Susan
Yay, no chemo! Very glad for you. I had chemo and radiation in 2018 & part of 19. So far all is well.
This is a great look for you. I mostly wear pull on pants these days so no belt loops. Good idea to reset and synch on the outside of the shirt. I may try that this fall.
That is good news!!! Chemo is terrible! Glad for Mr Mickey too! Cancer is horrible disease! I am a 10+ year survivor but always still scared when comes time for scans!! I’m considered “cured” so blessed with that.
I went through stage 1 invasive breast cancer last year. Surgery, seven weeks of radiation both tolerated well. I have just completed a year of anastrozole therapy. I’m feeling well and doing everything I love to do. I think the most intimidating part is hearing the word cancer. But the good news is cancer treatment has come a long way and you will do well. If you need a buddy to talk with, reach out. I enjoy your blog and your aesthetic. Grace
Thank you for sharing y’alls health updates with us. This has to be such welcoming news. May the new treatments and meds be a success. Happy Autumn, indeed
Kind Regards,
Cindy in Midlothian, VA
Thanks for sharing where you are around treatment.
Sending best wishes for completing the radiation and
being able to get back to a lovely time.
Best to you and Mr Mickey!
Hi Susan. I am sorry to hear you have breast cancer. I am a survivor of this horrid disease. I was diagnosed Almost 4 years ago now but I did need chemo for 6 months, radiation daily for 6 weeks and I also had multiple surgeries (9).
I know you will deal with this set back with the grace and strength you face everyday life. Please know I am sending you well wishes.
Warmly
Janne Bradley
Susan, I’m so glad for you! Just wanted to let you know that you’ve been in my thoughts and prayers. I also wanted to say that you have looked exceptionally gorgeous in the last several posts. Keep doing what you’re doing. It wears well on you.
Susan, so glad to hear this good news. I hope radiation and meds do the trick and you don’t have to deal with this again. God Bless you and Mr. Mickey too.
Would have liked to have seen this pictured without the belt to better visualize what you were saying. I always look forward to your posts. Thanks for being so candid and open with your sharing.
Susan, I would like to know what hormone inhibitor you will be taking. I tried two different ones and didn’t tolerate either one well but, took one for 10 years. So happy that you will only need to take one for 5 years.
You have no idea how blessed you are not having to take chemo. I am so happy for you. Radiation is not so bad — main issue for me was exhaustion.
So happy that you are both doing well and getting out there and enjoying what life has to offer.
What wonderful news about your health and Mr Micky! May you have many more years of good health, fun times together and of course beautiful outfits to wear and share with us!
Hi Susan,
Wonderful news no chemo treatment needed. You remain in my thoughts as you move forward with the guidance from your cancer doctor. Hope you are healing a day at a time.
Excellent news for Mr. Mickey too.
What a relief it is to get good news.
Take TLC of yourselves and one another.
Wonderful news for both of you! Thank you for keeping us updated.
Did you find the loafers to fit true to size? I see where reviewers comment that they run small.
Just read back through your posts and must send Mr Mickey well wishes as well. My apologies I did not mean to overlook his unfortunate news. I have been away and miss a lot of posts.
All my best to both of you.
Janne Bradley
So pleased for your both! You are both an inspiration and I love your blogs and seeing the lovely places you visit and the amazing food you eat. Much love and best wishesxx
Good Luck on Your Cancer journey. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2008 and had two Lumpectomies and the same Treatment plan as Yourself. I am Happy to report that so far I am doing great! God Bless and Fond Regards to both Yourself and to Mr Mickey.
Glad to hear about your medical update. I, too, did not need chemo or any treatment for my breast cancer except for my surgery which will be 33 years ago–how lucky I am. My husband also is doing well with his bladder cancer. Good news for both you and Mr. Mickey,
Dear Susan and Mr. Mickey, congratulations to you both!! Wonderful news and thank you for the update.
Thanks to God and Mother Mary of the Rosary for your recovery.
Sincerely, Jolanda
Congratulations on no chemo! I too had breast cancer, no chemo or radiation as I had a double mastectomy, and took Arimidex for 9 years. If you have any questions, or just want to talk, please reach out. I’m 67 years old and a 15 year survivor. Take care
So glad to hear no chemo. After my total hysterectomy, they got it all and I did not have to have chemo either. I am now 11 years out and see them annually. Wishing the best outcome for you too!
I love your blog and have culled my closet accordingly. We love cruises and having coordinated pieces makes packing much easier.
You are a cancer THRIVER. God heals all who come to Him. Acts 10:38. You are a Light to us to overcome.
2017 was my dark day. Now I am 80 and teaching
and traveling and going to the gym. Our words will determine our destiny of JOY.
Not sure if you’ll be up to reading all the comments, bc it’s a sizable number already, but your news of you & Mr. Mickey is so encouraging. You have many, many fans that are very happy for you, to say nothing of your family & friends. Keep on truckin’!
Wonderful news this morning!! So grateful to hear this for both you and Mr. Mickey. Thank you for sharing with us. Continuing to pray for your strength, provision and day to day encouragement. May you always remember you are loved by so many.❤️
Oh, Susan that is such good news!! I’m going the Happy dance for you! Having had cancer, I know how anxious one can be for those appointments. And Mr Mickey seems to be doing well, too! We’ll expect to see some fun date pictures from you! God is good, all the time! Best wishes! Ellen Wagner
Praising God for this wonderful news Susan! May his hand of protection continue to guide you and may you tolerate the radiation and hormone inhibitors well. All the very best to you and Mr. Mickey,
That’s wonderful news for both of you. I’ll continue to keep both of you in my prayers for good health and a stronger and deeper faith in our almighty God.
Great news! I was diagnosed 4 1/2 years ago with metastatic breast cancer which had spread to shoulder, thigh, pelvic, liver and bile duct. I have been on Ibrance and Letrozole all this time. Just recently had tumor #7 pop up in liver. Will have 5 strong radiation treatments starting next week. I am 83. I have been strong and stubborn. My worst problem is microscopic colitis which has dealt me more misery than cancer. My oncologist said amazing stuff in other year or so. So we can win. My breast cancer NEVER SHOWED UP ON yearly mammograms! You will win this battle as l others you have faced!
Fifteen years ago my daughter had the same treatment for Ca in her breast. I do not remember the kind of cancer it was. She had surgery to remove it and took Tamoxifen for five years. She is doing very well and is 66 years old right now. I am a cancer survivor myself. I wish you all the best. Keep up the way you have been doing, resting, eating to nourish your body and exercise when you are able.
Susan,
No chemo! Thank you for sharing this good news with your online community of friends. And for continuing to share your thoughts, suggestions, routines and insight during all chapters of your life- the easy and the difficult days. May the near future bring you healing and comfort. Hugs to you and Mr. Mickey
Great news about not having to have chemo! Praying for yours & Mr. Mickeys continued journey to good health! I’ve been following your posts for years now from your “50 Not Frumpy” days till now. Thank you for so many years of great ideas & style!
Be blessed,
Mary Preston

Great news for both you and Mr. M. What a sigh of relief for both of you I am sure. Thanks for sharing your good news with us.
Your smile takes the sting out of the words, radiation, so we all hope no ill effects from it once you start or from the meds either.
Take care, keep that smile and as one, KEEP THE BLOG GOING, grin! You see, we are thinking of ourselves temporarily between it, you and Mr. M, wink!
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers for as long as needed.

Hi Susan! That’s great news! My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in March and had a lumpectomy but no chemo or radiation. She is on the hormone inhibitor pill as you will be. She is doing very well. I’m glad to read that Mr. Mickey is also doing well. Early detection makes the difference. Thank you for the update and happy Autumn!
So very happy for you that you don’t need chemo. I didn’t either. I believe I had the same type of cancer as yourself.
Just a suggestion, I used lanolin, like honey on my chest during radiation. It help my skin tolerate the treatments. I wore a slim high neck exercise tee shirt from Target to protect my clothing.
I also have been receiving acupuncture treatments to help with some of the pill side effects. I mainly have hot flashes and some joint pain.
Wishing you Susan a very easy recovery.
So happy to hear your positive health updates. My husband has prostate cancer and hormonal treatment is working well to control things other than a couple of active spots in his back. He just underwent 2 radiation treatments to hopefully address those. Other than a bit more fatigue, he found it to be an easy and hopefully effective way of fighting back! Hoping it is easy and works well for you too. Sending hugs to you and sweet Mr. Mickey.
That’s wonderful news for both of you. I’m happy for you! Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate all you do for us in setting a sensible, practical example of fashionable style and class.
Wonderful news, Susan! I had breast cancer years ago so I understand the emotional toll it is for you. Happy you and Mr. Mickey’s health are improving, Keep your spirits up!
So happy for you! My spring diagnosis was the same, NO CHEMO! It’s such a relief. Praying that your radiation goes well. The pills are easy, but watch out for those hot flashes!!
I am so sorry to hear about your medical issues. As with many other illnesses Cancer is very frightening.
You sound like you are keeping up with your medical appointments and testing.
I will keep you in my prayers and hope you have a full recovery.
I truly enjoy reading your articles and seeing all the beautiful and stylish outfits you put together.
No chemo is good news! You will help so many women to see that early detection makes such a difference! Thank you for doing that and May God bless you on this journey!
PS
Just had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Grove Park Inn! Such a lovely place!
Yippee to no chemo!! I do think that you two take such good care of yourselves that it is now serving you well as a result! You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work and keep your lovely posts coming when you can! Best regards, Peggy. PS. You will get through radiation just fine. A lot of people say they’re more fatigued as a result but I did not experience that myself. You can do it! Sending all my best as you work your way through this chapter.
So happy you don’t need chemo!
I am a survivor, and I don’t wish that treatment on anyone. Keep that positive attitude and beautiful smile. I enjoy your tips and posts! Take care!
I am so glad to hear that you’re not going to be having chemo. Radiation will be hard enough. Keep up your positive attitude and it will serve you well.
Wonderful news! Looks like a carbon copy of my experience ten years ago. Such a relief to avoid chemo. The value of annual mammograms cannot be overstated.
So very happy to hear your good health news! May you respond well to radiation and hormone therapy with minimal side effects. Thank you for the enjoyment and knowledge you bring to our lives.
Oh, this is good news! For you and Mr. Mickey. Good luck with the treatment plan, and keep these posts coming as you are able – I look forward to them whenever you can post.
So happy for you both. Sounds like your years of being health conscience is definitely going to pay off! You have been in my prayers. Will continue to pray for complete healing for you both. Best regards, Helen
I was so pleased to read your health update. Best wishes for a good recovery! Best wishes to Mr. Mickey as well. I love to follow your adventures, always attired attractively – including MM’s great sock choices.
So very happy to hear this news! Thank you, Susan, for sharing this personal post, as we followers have come to ‘know’ and love you. Prayers for a complete and total healing!
I’m so happy to hear this good report! You still look amazing (even though you’ve lost some weight! But the main thing is your attitude and outlook is so upbeat and positive. That’s half the battle! Best wishes for more good news and happiness.
Congratulations, Susan! I wish you well with your treatments & medical appointments! Catching breast cancer earlier often makes treatments less invasive, & lifespans for cancer survivors longer!
Hi Susan, your treatment plan sounds like mine. Stage 1 with lumpectomy in August, radiation (4 weeks of Monday – Friday) starting on Oct 2nd, and then likely some sort of hormone suppression med. A little scary over all, but grateful for an early catch. Best wishes for your next steps and a great prognosis! ❤️
That’s such great news, for both you & Mr Mickey. Couldn’t be more pleased for you both! You two remain in my thoughts & prayers, & hoping your radiation goes smoothly. Love the outfit!
Great news, Susan!
I will continue to keep you and Mr. Mickey in my prayers. I hope you get through the radiation treatments quickly and with no discomfort. It is so good to hear your good news!
Blessings to you both,
Judy Rains
Wow! Wow! Wow! Good news for both of you! A healthy lifestyle pays off.
So happy for you and Mr. Mickey. I hope things will continue on the upswing.
Looking gorgeous as usual Susan. Love red on you.
I am so happy for you both. I have a friend with pancreatic cancer who was given 1 year or less to live. It has been 2 years, and he does intermittent chemo with a 5 year prognosis. Modern medicine and early diagnosis, yay!
Thank you for sharing your WONDERFUL news, Susan! Also, great news about Mr. Mickey! As a fellow breast cancer survivor, I am so happy for you. Radiation is no fun … but I know you will finish it in style 🙂
Fantastic news for both of you – I am so happy to hear it. Radiation can be a bit uncomfortable, but so much better than having to go through chemo. God bless you both going forward!!
This is such good news!
You are such an inspiration for so many of us that struggle to find our style and strength
Sharing your own lessons and adventures gives me the little push I sometimes need.
May good health be yours and Mr. Mikey’s for many years to come.
Congratulations on your roadmap to eliminating cancer. I had a similar diagnosis and treatment plan and am now 10 years cancer free! Best of luck! I love your website and look forward to each of your posts.
All good news-that’s wonderful to hear.
Nice outfit-Love the red perky sweater color on you. Better yet, the metallic handbag is beautiful addition.
I see Coach is also coming out with some metallic bags. Fall is my favorite time to shop all year long.
Continue with good health the two of you,
Such a pleasure to view a classic lady in classic clothes.
Shades of yester year for me, but still enjoy.
Blessings, Nancy Neupert
That is wonderful news Susan! You must be so happy not to have to have chemo. I am happy for you! As always you look beautiful. Your grace and perseverant brave spirit shine in your photos and the stories you share. Wishing you well, always!
Cynthia
I am delighted to read that you don’t have to undergo chemo and that Mr Mickey is doing well too. All the very best for your treatment plan over the next few years and may you continue to inspire us with your positive attitude and thoughtful posts!
Dear Susan and Mr. Mickey – I’m rejoicing with you both on the great news that you have received. It’s so refreshing to see the two of you enjoying life to the fullest despite this recent “bump” in the road. You both put the “Energizer Bunny” to shame! Blessings and my sincerest belated birthday wishes to you both!
I’m so glad to hear that you don’t have to have chemo. It can be hard to do in many ways and happy to hear you do not have to have it which is up beat news. Also everything I know about radiation is positive and has good results so that too is positive. Thanks so much for updating all of us. It means a lot as you through your blog have become like a family member. I just want to say watching your videos and reading your blog your lovely soul comes through and it is so nice to relate to a lovely personality like yours. Wishing you all good results in your recovery journey. Also glad to hear Mr Mickey is doing well too. Sincerely, Lois Allen.
Susan, I did not know you were diagnosed with cancer. I assume it is in the early stages since you are not required to undergo the chemotherapy.
I was diagnosed with the early stage of breast cancer in May 2022 and had surgery in June 2022. I had one month of radiation five days per week in September and am taking a chemotherapy medication for the next five years also as well as the quarterly doctor visits.
I did undergo a problem which developed several months after radiation ended. The breast tissue in my right breast tightened and the pectoral muscle needed attention as I couldn’t reach up without pain. This summer I underwent six weeks of physical therapy for six weeks which helped tremendously. I am still doing the exercises daily which I’m sure will keep the muscles from tightening. No woman I knew had the same issue after radiation so I don’t know how prevalent this is. However, I am grateful for early detection through having yearly mammograms as well as the treatment mode which eradicated the cancer.
I hope your treatment of cancer is effective and you are able to put this health issue behind you with no further problems.
Great news! Have been praying for you as your posts come up, celebrating with you that no chemo is necessary. You have been such an inspiration in your health journey, I am sure the choices you have made have helped lead to this. Hoping at each and every appointment you receive the “no evidence found” award! May you and Mr. Mickey enjoy many many more meals and fun drives.
Liebe Susan,
alles Gute und Liebe für die weitere Genesung für Sie und Mr. Mickey. Ich folge Ihnen schon seit vielen Jahren und bewundere Ihren Geschmack. Liebe Grüße Meggi
So glad to hear that you and Mr. Mickey are both doing well. You look wonderful in red! I look forward to reading your blogs and appreciate your helpful advice.
What wonderful news – no chemo! I had 20 radiation treatments before I had chemo treatments for bone cancer. It’s been six years and I’m doing well. I believe in the power of healing prayer and pray for you & Mr. Mickey’s continued good health. You are such an inspiration to many, many people. God Bless!
Thank you for sharing your good news. Because of early detection, I didn’t require chemo or radiation, but took Tamoxifen for five years. I am a twelve-year survivor. May you be cancer free in the future also.
Dear Susan, I’m praying for a quick, complete, & successful resolution to this health issue for you. All the best. Many people are sending positive thoughts and good wishes your way! Best regards to Mr. Mickey.
Liz
Such good news, Susan. And you look so radiant in this photo.
Could you please explain why adding a belt over your top helps?
Many thanks & best wishes!
Adding a belt shows where the waistline is rather than letting the hemline of the top bring the focus too low. Long and loose may seem like a great option for hiding our least favorite bits, but it can also make us look wider.
Dear Susan
Your post brought happy tears to my eyes, for both you and Mr. Mickey! I needed to hear someone’s good news – to remind me that in this crazy world there can still be moments of pure joy.
Congratulations – and continue to Seize The Day, every single one!
Much love
Jan G
That is wonderful news. I’ve been praying for you and Mr. Mickey also. My 18 year old granddaughter has to have her thyroid removed in October due to cancer. Drs. do not think she will have to do any treatments due to finding it early. Thankful for God’s goodness.
I have been following you for a long time and always appreciated your blog and the sharing of your style and some of the events in your life – but have never commented until now. Just want to say how pleased I’m sure we all are that you are doing so well (Mr. Mickey too) and that, in spite of your health issues, you remain radiant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I am so glad to hear your wonderful news! Yea, no chemo! I will be praying that the radiation treatments go well. May God bless Mr. Mickey with energy and strength. You are looking great! Thank you for giving us updates.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful news. I enjoy reading your posts although I never leave comments as I am a great lurker. You and Mr. Mickey have been on my mind and heart and I am delighted you are doing well. May your health continue to improve. Best wishes always.
May I ask what hormone inhibitor will you take? I took Aromasin for 7 years, [after radiation] and as soon as I was off it, the cancer was back in 3 months. Next, chemo therapy and within 4 years it was in opposite breast. Double mastectomy, and again it came back as metastatic breast cancer (in lung). I’m now taking Ibrance and Faslodex ( on these for 7 years). This all began in 1986! Never be conservative when it comes to breast cancer. 30% of breast cancers become metastatic. Don’t mean to scare you, but I wish I had a double mastectomy in 1986.
Dear Susan, that is great news! My sister had similar treatment and doing well after more than five years. Enjoy this wonderful fall weather with those positive vibes.
I’m so glad you don’t need chemo, but I have to warn you, those hormone inhibitors will cause you to have hot flashes which can really make life uncomfortable. At least that was my experience. But they have this device you wear on your wrist that helps you control them. They’re called Embr Wave. I don’t know if it works since I was past that stage by the time they came out, but I’d try it.
Feels like my friend just got the best news ever. 4 weeks after this post, I read it and did a little whoop for you. Congrats on the early detection and treatment. May the good news continue! You are looking great, too. Thanks for sharing.
How long lutein for your medical report!… Please share with us again what your eating regime is these days… Love the white collarless jacket!!
Diana Paradis
I mostly eat vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, full-fat Greek yogurt, and fruit. Occasionally, I have wild-caught fish or free-range chicken or turkey. My meals are consumed early in the day, and I always have small portions. I rarely have an evening meal.
I am delighted to hear you won’t need chemo. I had breast cancer four years ago – 12 chemo treatments, 33 radiation treatments and an estrogen block pill probably for the rest of my life. (I am 73) All that aid, it was a good as it could be and I am thankful to be fairly healthy today. Congratulations on your good health; as always, you look wonderful.
I’ve been away for a long while and decided to check in on you today. I was unaware of your and Micky’s health and am thankful that you’ve both had some good news. You are looking more beautiful than ever. I love your hairstyle and it’s good to see you again.
That’s great news for both of you! So glad for you.
So happy for both of you!
Excellent news. So happy for you x
Wonderful news! You are glowing!
Thanks for the update.
Great news for both of you! Thanks for sharing.
Such happy news for you! Be sure to pamper your skin at the radiation site.
Answered prayers for sure! Wishing you and Mr. Mickey all the best. I love that you are back posting about fashion and your adventures with Mr. Mickey. I look forward to each new post. Take care!
Cindy
This is wonderful news, so happy reading your update and next steps moving forward. Red is a power color – great choice and I like the outfit you put together. Red is the color of energy, the symbol of life, evokes strength and confidence. You look dynamic!
Great news for you Susan. Continued prayers for you and Mr. Mickey.
Yay! Great news!
Great news for both of you!

You look radiant!! Your good news shows. Thank you for the wonderful update. Continued prayers.
What wonderful news Susan. You must be feeling on top of the world.
Such good news about your treatment! Sounds like you have the same treatment plan that I had. It will be five years for me March, 2024. The radiation is fairly easy but do follow the skin care instructions at the radiation site. God Bless
That’s fantastic news! They caught it early. You look great in red. It’s my favorite color. Sending healing thoughts to both you and Mr. Mickey.
Susan, I am rejoicing with you over this wonderful news! May God bless you and keep you in His care.
Glad to hear this good news. I’m continuing to pray for both of you.
Great news for both of you xx
Thank you for the update. Not needing chemo is great. Thank you for this blog I love it.
Such wonderful news! Thank you for the update.
That’s great news! I just want to add that I was inclined to skip my mammogram this year but, because of you, I had it done a few weeks ago and everything was fine. Thank you!
Good for you, Connie!
Yay!

Thank you for this health update, Susan. You and Mr. Mickey are in my thoughts.
Wonderful news and a great outfit for early fall!
I’m so happy that you don’t need chemo. God is good!
Such wonderful news, thanking the Lord that you both are doing so well!
So so happy for you. You are the fourth woman I know who has had this diagnosis since last October all with different treatment options and all thriving! I live in Canada and some hospitals here have programs that register women to have a reminder every year to schedule their mammograms. A reminder to us all to keep this up. Good luck!
Wonderful news, thank you for the update!
Continued good health to you both ❤️❤️
Wonderful news!
So happy for you and Mr. Mickey!
So very pleased for you Susan. I am in the same position as you. Grade 3 cancer but found early, two ops to remove as the margin was tight the first time. Sample sent to America for Oncotype DX testing and like you, blessed to not need chemo. Started on my meds and appointments lined up for bone density scan and pre radiotherapy time but so very thankful and grateful with how things are.
Good luck to Mr Mickey and blessings to you both. xx
Wonderful news!
Susan,
You look wonferful so glad you anf Mr. Mickey are doing well. If possible would you be able to provide tips for being camera ready when you ate atrending a Zoom call. I have white. short, very curly hair with fair skin and blue eyes. Unfortunately, my scalp and the top of my head is quite thin. I am 5 ‘2″ so I easily feel dwarfed. My office has off white walls. My office window faces west.
Thank you,
Kelly
Here is a great video about how to Look Good On Video Calls for Zoom FaceTime Skype.
That is wonderful news!
Praise God! That’s wonderful news!
Woohoo!! What great news! Happy for you and Mr. Mickey as well.
Wonderful news! Couldn’t ask for better.

Happy to hear you’re doing so well❣️
Wonderful news Susan!!! So happy for you! You look fabulous!
Oh, Susan! Praise God for answered prayers! I had tears well up in my eyes as I read today’s post. May God continue to richly bless both you and Mr. Mickey as you work toward healing.
Warmly,
Debbie Roberts
Wishing you all the best.
That’s such wonderful news, Susan! So happy for you- and for Mr Mickey! Love from Austin.
Best news ever! I so happy an grateful for you!
Great news on the health front! This is one of my favorite outfits.
Great news, Susan. <3
That’s great news!
I’m so happy to hear this news
What a blessing! So happy for you!!
Susan, that is truly wonderful news! Thank you for sharing it. I’ve been thinking of both of you and hoping for the best. You look beautiful.
You are truly beautiful! I wish you the very BEST!
I am 4 years out of breast cancer with what sounds like your identical diagnosis and treatment plan.
Off that subject, I do have a question for you:
I too have been wearing the same lipstick as you and found out it is discontinued…..did you find a replacement yet to the “ Little Black dress” lipstick?
I have your same coloring and since you mentioned that lipstick years ago… that has been my favorite.
If you can suggest a “look a like” I would be so very appreciative.
I struggle with that and you have been such a big help to me. Thank you so much!
Blessings to you Susan!
Warm regards, Karen
Thank you, Karen. I hope we both have many more cancer free years.
The most similar lipstick Beautycounter has now is here. It is Vibrant: Blue Red.
Answered prayers! So good to hear encouraging health news!
Great news!
Wonderful news! By the way, you inspired me to start getting annual mammograms again. I hadn’t for the previous 2 years.
You must have had the right kind of hormone receptors. So glad to hear your good news!
Praise God, great news all around!
Thank God for the good health news. Take care.
Oh Susan, such good news to hear! You and Mr. Mickey keep enjoying your adventures. We all love hearing about them.
Good news for both of you. Stay healthy – Health and happiness Brad
So happy to hear such a good report for both you and Mr. Mickey!
A great report! Thank you for sharing.
I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU AND MR MICKEY ARE DOING BETTER.
BE BLESSED
That’s such wonderful news for you and Mr. Mickey, Susan! Thank you for sharing that with us.
Such wonderful news for both of you!
Praising God for the positive news for both of you!
WONDERFUL HEALTH NEWS, Susan!!! Thank you for sharing your and Mr. Mickey’s good news!
Thanking God for answered prayers. Wonderful news. Thank you for sharing.
Again, not pushing my faith but, as a prayer warrior I claim this as an answer to prayers for the best least invasive cure. By using your platform to inform, hopefully women will be motivated to stay mammogram current. Thank you for sharing your journey. Continuing to pray over you both.
I had the same diagnosis as you with the same treatment. I am a seven year survivor.
As someone else suggested, follow the skin care procedures recommended by your radiologist. If you end up using aloe vera on your burns, you can keep it in the refrigerator for a more soothing affect. No one told me that at the time. Believe it or not, your life is about to be enriched. You are probably about to meet some very wonderful, courageous people who are going through both radiation and chemo, and it will make you so much more appreciative for the human spirit, your early diagnosis, and life in general. Compared to some, your journey will be a breeze. Best of luck. You got this.
Susan, that is wonderful news! I am so happy to hear that both you and Mr. Mickey are doing well. Thank you for the update! Much love,
Melissa
Hip hip hooray! This is great news. Sounds like a wonderful reason for an outing to one of the fabulous restaurants you share with us. Have fun!
I know you’re relieved because your treatments mirror mine in 2011. Phew. Dodged the chemo bullet. Radiation is nothing to be worried about — although you may get fatigued and want to briefly nap in the afternoon. Keep your energy levels up as best you can. This too shall pass.
So happy to hear you won’t need chemo! Continued prayers for you.
Great news. I’m confident you will do well with the plan for full recovery. Blessing to you and Mr. Mickey as you both remain in my prayers.
So happy you don’t have to endure chemo treatments. And just as glad Mr. Mickey is doing so well.
I’m so glad to hear you don’t need chemo! Also that Mr. Mickey is doing well!
Such great news for you and Mr. Mickey, Susan. That’s really wonderful to hear! This is a lovely outfit, I especially like the red jacket and the metallic bag is the perfect touch.
p.s. Happy 67th birthday, a bit belated!
Good news for both of you!
Great news! Glad to hear you are both doing so well.
That is great news. Lifting you up in prayer.
Hi. So happy that you do not need chemo. What a blessing!!! Keep eating healthy and exercising like you always do and everything will continue to go well with you. Also, thanks for the update on Mr. Mickey.
Such great news! So happy for you and Mr. Mickey!
I’m very happy for you and Mr. Mickey that both of you are doing so well!
So pleased to hear it is good news. Wishing both you and Mr Mickey all the best.
Wonderful news!
Jeanette K
I appreciate you and your posts. You’re a truly beautiful lady and I’m happy that you don’t have to go through chemotherapy. I pray the radiation will be a good solution.
Glad to hear that Mr Mickey is doing well.
I enjoy your adventures. May you have many more!
Jennifer Neeb (Canada)
God bless you both! Fabulous news!
Prayers still being said for you and Mr Mickey. I am a cancer survivor (Ovarian Cancer, stage 3) I was only 27 years old with an 8 year old daughter. NowI am 75 and our daughter is 55. I came up fighting and followed the doctors orders. I had a very supportive husband and good family and friends. Hang in there. This will pass.
Good news for you both; so glad to read this!! I have a mammogram, 3D, every year and then also checked by my Gynecologist once a year. Every couple of years, I have a senobright which gives more detail. Also a bone density test every other year. We have to be our own advocates, and be vigilant about keeping to a schedule for preventive maintenance.
Susan, you look lovely as always, and hope you and Mr. Mickey continue to experience good health and wonderful experiences together!
I’m glad to hear this and pray for continued good news…
Wonderful news!! So happy for you and Mickey!
WOOHOO! Avoiding chemo is huge! I was fortunate not to have to have it either. I have been on an AI (aromatase inhibitor, the hormone-suppressing pill) for four out of five years now. I tolerate it reasonably well, with some joint pain that is usually managed with Tylenol. Some people are luckier with side effects; some not so lucky. If you find you are having intolerable side effects with one AI, ask to try switching to another. (There are 3-4 different ones that are usually prescribed.) I didn’t do well with my first one, but have done much better with my second. Glad to hear Mr. Mickey is also thriving. All the best.
You look so good, it’s hard to believe you have an illness. I’m very sorry to hear this but thank you for sharing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Mr. Mickey.
This is wonderful news! So glad for you both.
Wonderful news ❤️
What excellent news for both of you!
Hurray! All the best to you.
That is such great news! I hope you and Mr. Mickey continue to do so well, Beautiful and elegant outfit, as always.
You look awesome. I am glad you have a plan with your Dr. and that Mr. Mickey is doing well. Take care of each other and be kind to yourself. Thanks for the up date. I’ll be praying for both of you. I really enjoy your blog.
I am glad you are doing well. Wish you a prompt recovery. Thank you for sharing. Mary
such wonderful news❣️
let’s celebrate!
So glad for you.
that is wonderful news for both of you.
I am so happy that you received such a positive report…ALSO that Mr. Mickey is doing so well. I had a kidney removed in 2019 due to a large maligancy that HAD NOT spread…, my DIL had breast cancer two years ago with chemo and radiation, but she is now cancer free. May God bless us all and the medical staff who study and care for us. You and Mr. Mickey support each other…. Enjoy all of your beautiful posts❤️. Barbara
So relieved that you don’t need chemo. You are in prayers.
This is very good news! So happy for you!
Such wonderful news for you both!!
That is wonderful that you do not have to have chemo. I am a year older than you and had breast cancer in 2017; lumpectomy (lymph node involvement) followed by chemo and radiation. Six years out and I am more than fine. I am not on any medications.
I would just like to caution you to really keep your range of motion complete in your affected shoulder by completing the exercises they give you after radiation. I thought they were too simple (I am fit and limber from yoga and almost daily exercises since forever) and didn’t think they would matter (and I was tired). They matter. I don’t have limitations any more but it took awhile to get it all back.
You have provided a lot of help to others through your blog with your own experiences, so I offer the same to you. I wish you a full and quick recovery.
Dear Susan!
You look as radiant as ever!!!
So thankful no chemo
Will be keeping you in my prayers for NO adverse reactions to any meds or treatments!!!
Same for your precious Mr, Mickey.
Loving you from TEXAS
Carole
Susan & Mickey, this is the absolute best news I have heard all year! I’m thrilled, yet not surprised that wonderful things happen for wonderful people like the two of you 🙂
Thanks so much for the update. You look fantastic! And so healthy!
KD
Very happy for you both, the lesson here is Go Early!
Ann lee s
I had the same treatment a year ago and didn’t have many problem at all… some skin burning similar
To a sunburn and sensitivity … So many of my friends have also had breast cancer and are doing well. I wish you all the best as you move ahead! Thanks for your transparency and willingness to share.
You’re a very brave lady and I hope all will go well for you. I enjoy your posts so much. Great style. I’ve learned a lot.
Continued prayers for your full recovery.
Wonderful news Susan! God bless you!
So happy for you and Mr Mickey, take care.
Awe that is good news no chemo Susan, and Mr Micky 6 mths before next review. You both can now look forward to Christmas and of course Thanksgiving
in America . You can enjoy them with a weight off your shoulders .It seems early to talk about these celebrations but a blink of an eye and they will soon be upon us.
I love your cheerful red cardigan and the black slacks are my favourite length and cut. Thank you for sharing your health journey it’s very brave of you .
Take care Pamela from Wales UK
Great news!
That is wonderful news! Wishing you and Mr. Mickey many healthy, happy and blessed years to come.

Wonderful Susan! That is incredibly good news for both you and Mr Mickey!!! I am so happy for you both….
This is great news! Thanks for sharing.
I do apologise, I meant smart red Jacket not cardigan Nice cut and lines on the jacket as well, it’s not over baggy
Loafers so classic .
Pamela UK
Too too wonderful.
Hi Susan
Yay, no chemo! Very glad for you. I had chemo and radiation in 2018 & part of 19. So far all is well.
This is a great look for you. I mostly wear pull on pants these days so no belt loops. Good idea to reset and synch on the outside of the shirt. I may try that this fall.
Stay well!
Wonderful news, thanks for sharing!
That’s fantastic news! Best of luck with the radiation treatments!!
Kathy
That is good news!!! Chemo is terrible! Glad for Mr Mickey too! Cancer is horrible disease! I am a 10+ year survivor but always still scared when comes time for scans!! I’m considered “cured” so blessed with that.
Hi Susan,
What incredible news! Thank you for letting us know.
Outstanding news! Thanks for sharing. Lady in Red…..so pretty!
I’m so happy to hear such good news. You look radiant!
Congratulations on no chemo! Continued improvement for both you!!
I went through stage 1 invasive breast cancer last year. Surgery, seven weeks of radiation both tolerated well. I have just completed a year of anastrozole therapy. I’m feeling well and doing everything I love to do. I think the most intimidating part is hearing the word cancer. But the good news is cancer treatment has come a long way and you will do well. If you need a buddy to talk with, reach out. I enjoy your blog and your aesthetic. Grace
Wonderful news!
Thank you for sharing y’alls health updates with us. This has to be such welcoming news. May the new treatments and meds be a success. Happy Autumn, indeed

Hi Susan. I am sorry to hear you have breast cancer. I am a survivor of this horrid disease. I was diagnosed Almost 4 years ago now but I did need chemo for 6 months, radiation daily for 6 weeks and I also had multiple surgeries (9).
I know you will deal with this set back with the grace and strength you face everyday life. Please know I am sending you well wishes.
Warmly
Janne Bradley
I’m so sorry that you had such an ordeal. You have my respect and admiration. Live long!

What fabulous news about both of you! You truly have so much to celebrate! Each day is a gift, isn’t it?
Cindy
Susan, I’m so glad for you! Just wanted to let you know that you’ve been in my thoughts and prayers. I also wanted to say that you have looked exceptionally gorgeous in the last several posts. Keep doing what you’re doing. It wears well on you.
Susan, so glad to hear this good news. I hope radiation and meds do the trick and you don’t have to deal with this again. God Bless you and Mr. Mickey too.
So good to hear this news! You are on top of it and I pray that you continue to hold your health and prosper for years to come!
So glad you and Mr. Mickey are doing so well. Prayers coming your way
So happy for you both! That’s great news!
Would have liked to have seen this pictured without the belt to better visualize what you were saying. I always look forward to your posts. Thanks for being so candid and open with your sharing.
Susan, I would like to know what hormone inhibitor you will be taking. I tried two different ones and didn’t tolerate either one well but, took one for 10 years. So happy that you will only need to take one for 5 years.
You have no idea how blessed you are not having to take chemo. I am so happy for you. Radiation is not so bad — main issue for me was exhaustion.
So happy that you are both doing well and getting out there and enjoying what life has to offer.
I will be taking Letrozole. I hope it will be tolerable.
What wonderful news about your health and Mr Micky! May you have many more years of good health, fun times together and of course beautiful outfits to wear and share with us!
Hooray! What wonderful news! As a 21 year breast cancer survivor, I celebrate with you!
I so glad for you. Prayers answered!
Hi Susan,
Wonderful news no chemo treatment needed. You remain in my thoughts as you move forward with the guidance from your cancer doctor. Hope you are healing a day at a time.
Excellent news for Mr. Mickey too.
What a relief it is to get good news.
Take TLC of yourselves and one another.
The very best to you,, beautiful lady
Susan–wonderful news!! So happy for you and Mr. Mickey. I really think the positive attitude you both have has really helped fight the cancer!
Wonderful news!!
Wonderful news for both of you! Thank you for keeping us updated.
Did you find the loafers to fit true to size? I see where reviewers comment that they run small.
I have the loafers in three colors and I found them to fit a bit snug in my usual size, but they do stretch a little with wear.
Such good news! Prayers answered – God bless you both!
Wonderful news! So very happy for you.
Fantastic news! So happy for both of you!
Such wonderful news for both yourself and Mr Mickey. Thank you for sharing. It’s so lovely to have you back. Stay well.

Glad to hear about your medical update. I, too, did not need chemo or any treatment for my breast cancer except for my surgery which will be 33 years ago–how lucky I am. My husband also is doing well with his bladder cancer. Good news for both you and Mr. Mickey,

Sincerely, Jolanda
Great news, so happy for both of you!
Congratulations on no chemo! I too had breast cancer, no chemo or radiation as I had a double mastectomy, and took Arimidex for 9 years. If you have any questions, or just want to talk, please reach out. I’m 67 years old and a 15 year survivor. Take care
So glad to hear no chemo. After my total hysterectomy, they got it all and I did not have to have chemo either. I am now 11 years out and see them annually. Wishing the best outcome for you too!
I love your blog and have culled my closet accordingly. We love cruises and having coordinated pieces makes packing much easier.
Have a great fall!
Kathy
You are a cancer THRIVER. God heals all who come to Him. Acts 10:38. You are a Light to us to overcome.
2017 was my dark day. Now I am 80 and teaching
and traveling and going to the gym. Our words will determine our destiny of JOY.
Keep smiling Susan. You’ve got this! Prayers continue for you and Mr. Mickey.

Oh, Susan that is such good news!! I’m going the Happy dance for you! Having had cancer, I know how anxious one can be for those appointments. And Mr Mickey seems to be doing well, too! We’ll expect to see some fun date pictures from you! God is good, all the time! Best wishes! Ellen Wagner
Praising God for this wonderful news Susan! May his hand of protection continue to guide you and may you tolerate the radiation and hormone inhibitors well. All the very best to you and Mr. Mickey,

Best of luck to both of you!
That’s fantastic news. Thank you for sharing.
Great news! I was diagnosed 4 1/2 years ago with metastatic breast cancer which had spread to shoulder, thigh, pelvic, liver and bile duct. I have been on Ibrance and Letrozole all this time. Just recently had tumor #7 pop up in liver. Will have 5 strong radiation treatments starting next week. I am 83. I have been strong and stubborn. My worst problem is microscopic colitis which has dealt me more misery than cancer. My oncologist said amazing stuff in other year or so. So we can win. My breast cancer NEVER SHOWED UP ON yearly mammograms! You will win this battle as l others you have faced!
Oh my! I hope you have many more happy healthy years. Keep being strong and stubborn!
So glad to hear such good news!!
God bless
Molly
Thank you for sharing your health update. You and Mickey have been a blessing to all of us and many prayers will continue to be lifted for you both.
Good health news update! I’m sure you’re happy about no chemo! ❤️
That’s wonderful news. So happy for you Susan.
Dear Susan,
Fifteen years ago my daughter had the same treatment for Ca in her breast. I do not remember the kind of cancer it was. She had surgery to remove it and took Tamoxifen for five years. She is doing very well and is 66 years old right now. I am a cancer survivor myself. I wish you all the best. Keep up the way you have been doing, resting, eating to nourish your body and exercise when you are able.
Love and best wishes to both you and Mr. Mickey,
Pat Perkins

Quelle bonne nouvelle ,chère Susan . Je vous souhaite le meilleur.
Great news for both you and Mr. M. What a sigh of relief for both of you I am sure. Thanks for sharing your good news with us.
Your smile takes the sting out of the words, radiation, so we all hope no ill effects from it once you start or from the meds either.
Take care, keep that smile and as one, KEEP THE BLOG GOING, grin! You see, we are thinking of ourselves temporarily between it, you and Mr. M, wink!
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers for as long as needed.

Hi Susan! That’s great news! My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in March and had a lumpectomy but no chemo or radiation. She is on the hormone inhibitor pill as you will be. She is doing very well. I’m glad to read that Mr. Mickey is also doing well. Early detection makes the difference. Thank you for the update and happy Autumn!
I am so glad you don’t need chemo. Your prognosis sounds really good. Good wishes for you and Mr. Mickey.
No chemo is wonderful news. I’m glad to see you back and I have been reading
some of your columns I missed.
Also, best wishes to Mr. Mickey.
Olá!
Fiquei muito contente, por você e seu companheiro estarem bem.
Estou torcendo pela recuperação de ambos!
Abraços de sua fã de São Paulo/Brasil.
So very happy for you that you don’t need chemo. I didn’t either. I believe I had the same type of cancer as yourself.
Just a suggestion, I used lanolin, like honey on my chest during radiation. It help my skin tolerate the treatments. I wore a slim high neck exercise tee shirt from Target to protect my clothing.
I also have been receiving acupuncture treatments to help with some of the pill side effects. I mainly have hot flashes and some joint pain.
Wishing you Susan a very easy recovery.
Thank you for sharing the great news ! Best wishes
Paola
Hi

Ps. You look wonderful
So happy to hear your positive health updates. My husband has prostate cancer and hormonal treatment is working well to control things other than a couple of active spots in his back. He just underwent 2 radiation treatments to hopefully address those. Other than a bit more fatigue, he found it to be an easy and hopefully effective way of fighting back! Hoping it is easy and works well for you too. Sending hugs to you and sweet Mr. Mickey.
That is great news. As a three time cancer person I know how you feel. Live and love every day, life is so wonderful!
I watch Susan after 60 ever since it started and have learned so much from you on how to look elegant and lovely. Thank you.
Mary Ann

Just had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Grove Park Inn! Such a lovely place!
Yippee to no chemo!! I do think that you two take such good care of yourselves that it is now serving you well as a result! You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work and keep your lovely posts coming when you can! Best regards, Peggy. PS. You will get through radiation just fine. A lot of people say they’re more fatigued as a result but I did not experience that myself. You can do it! Sending all my best as you work your way through this chapter.

Very glad to hear your good news.
I am so glad to hear that you’re not going to be having chemo. Radiation will be hard enough. Keep up your positive attitude and it will serve you well.
Wonderful news! Looks like a carbon copy of my experience ten years ago. Such a relief to avoid chemo. The value of annual mammograms cannot be overstated.
So very happy to hear your good health news! May you respond well to radiation and hormone therapy with minimal side effects. Thank you for the enjoyment and knowledge you bring to our lives.
So thankful for your good news!
That’s wonderful that you don’t need Chemo!! Praise the Lord!!!

Thank you for the good news update
Such great and happy news! You look wonderful. Love your OOTD! It’s one of those that “speaks” to me.
So happy for you both. Sounds like your years of being health conscience is definitely going to pay off! You have been in my prayers. Will continue to pray for complete healing for you both. Best regards, Helen
Congratulations, so pleased you have been seen so quickly and had a ‘good’ outcome.
Best wishes from Herefordshire, England.

I wish you and Mr.Mickey the best of health and happiness.
So very happy to hear this news! Thank you, Susan, for sharing this personal post, as we followers have come to ‘know’ and love you. Prayers for a complete and total healing!
I’m so happy to hear this good report! You still look amazing (even though you’ve lost some weight! But the main thing is your attitude and outlook is so upbeat and positive. That’s half the battle! Best wishes for more good news and happiness.
Congratulations, Susan! I wish you well with your treatments & medical appointments! Catching breast cancer earlier often makes treatments less invasive, & lifespans for cancer survivors longer!
Good luck & best wishes!
Great news! May both of you stay well!
Hi Susan, your treatment plan sounds like mine. Stage 1 with lumpectomy in August, radiation (4 weeks of Monday – Friday) starting on Oct 2nd, and then likely some sort of hormone suppression med. A little scary over all, but grateful for an early catch. Best wishes for your next steps and a great prognosis! ❤️
YES!!! HOORAY!! So very happy for you!
Congratulations! Thank you for your openness and will to share. We are happy for you both!
Great news and continued prayers for you and yours.
So happy for you and this treatment
Hope it all goes very well
That’s such great news, for both you & Mr Mickey. Couldn’t be more pleased for you both! You two remain in my thoughts & prayers, & hoping your radiation goes smoothly. Love the outfit!
So happy for you. Glad you won’t need chemotherapy,!
Great news, Susan!
I will continue to keep you and Mr. Mickey in my prayers. I hope you get through the radiation treatments quickly and with no discomfort. It is so good to hear your good news!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Good news for both of you! A healthy lifestyle pays off.
So happy for you and Mr. Mickey. I hope things will continue on the upswing.
Looking gorgeous as usual Susan. Love red on you.
That’s great you will not need chemotherapy. Good luck with the rest of your treatments.
What great news, Susan! Our prayers for you both continue.
I am so happy for you both. I have a friend with pancreatic cancer who was given 1 year or less to live. It has been 2 years, and he does intermittent chemo with a 5 year prognosis. Modern medicine and early diagnosis, yay!
Hi Susan
Great that you don’t need chemo.
Wishing you and Mr Mickey all the very best for return to health.
Kind regards
Thank you for sharing your WONDERFUL news, Susan! Also, great news about Mr. Mickey! As a fellow breast cancer survivor, I am so happy for you. Radiation is no fun … but I know you will finish it in style 🙂
Take good care,
Maryanne
Fantastic news for both of you – I am so happy to hear it. Radiation can be a bit uncomfortable, but so much better than having to go through chemo. God bless you both going forward!!
God bless you both. Never an easy diagnosis to deal with.
I’m so happy for both of you!
This is such good news!
You are such an inspiration for so many of us that struggle to find our style and strength
Sharing your own lessons and adventures gives me the little push I sometimes need.
May good health be yours and Mr. Mikey’s for many years to come.
Congratulations on your roadmap to eliminating cancer. I had a similar diagnosis and treatment plan and am now 10 years cancer free! Best of luck! I love your website and look forward to each of your posts.
I’m so happy for your good news and you look stunning in red …the best always, JoAnn
All good news-that’s wonderful to hear.
Nice outfit-Love the red perky sweater color on you. Better yet, the metallic handbag is beautiful addition.
I see Coach is also coming out with some metallic bags. Fall is my favorite time to shop all year long.
Continue with good health the two of you,
Such a pleasure to view a classic lady in classic clothes.
Shades of yester year for me, but still enjoy.
Blessings, Nancy Neupert
Great news!
So glad to hear your news. Good luck with the radiation

Wonderful news!
I am delighted to read that you don’t have to undergo chemo and that Mr Mickey is doing well too. All the very best for your treatment plan over the next few years and may you continue to inspire us with your positive attitude and thoughtful posts!
Dear Susan and Mr. Mickey – I’m rejoicing with you both on the great news that you have received. It’s so refreshing to see the two of you enjoying life to the fullest despite this recent “bump” in the road. You both put the “Energizer Bunny” to shame! Blessings and my sincerest belated birthday wishes to you both!
Such good news about the health status of you and Mr Mickey. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad to hear that you don’t have to have chemo. It can be hard to do in many ways and happy to hear you do not have to have it which is up beat news. Also everything I know about radiation is positive and has good results so that too is positive. Thanks so much for updating all of us. It means a lot as you through your blog have become like a family member. I just want to say watching your videos and reading your blog your lovely soul comes through and it is so nice to relate to a lovely personality like yours. Wishing you all good results in your recovery journey. Also glad to hear Mr Mickey is doing well too. Sincerely, Lois Allen.
Thank you Susan!! Thank you God!!!
Susan, I did not know you were diagnosed with cancer. I assume it is in the early stages since you are not required to undergo the chemotherapy.
I was diagnosed with the early stage of breast cancer in May 2022 and had surgery in June 2022. I had one month of radiation five days per week in September and am taking a chemotherapy medication for the next five years also as well as the quarterly doctor visits.
I did undergo a problem which developed several months after radiation ended. The breast tissue in my right breast tightened and the pectoral muscle needed attention as I couldn’t reach up without pain. This summer I underwent six weeks of physical therapy for six weeks which helped tremendously. I am still doing the exercises daily which I’m sure will keep the muscles from tightening. No woman I knew had the same issue after radiation so I don’t know how prevalent this is. However, I am grateful for early detection through having yearly mammograms as well as the treatment mode which eradicated the cancer.
I hope your treatment of cancer is effective and you are able to put this health issue behind you with no further problems.
Hallelujah!!!
Excellent news, Susan, for you and Mr Mickey. You must be very relieved.
Now carry on enjoying your lives.
Great news Susan
Great news! Have been praying for you as your posts come up, celebrating with you that no chemo is necessary. You have been such an inspiration in your health journey, I am sure the choices you have made have helped lead to this. Hoping at each and every appointment you receive the “no evidence found” award! May you and Mr. Mickey enjoy many many more meals and fun drives.
Praise God. No chemo.
God bless you.
Liebe Susan,
alles Gute und Liebe für die weitere Genesung für Sie und Mr. Mickey. Ich folge Ihnen schon seit vielen Jahren und bewundere Ihren Geschmack. Liebe Grüße Meggi
great news! I am very happy for you – please continue to inspire us.
So glad to hear that you and Mr. Mickey are both doing well. You look wonderful in red! I look forward to reading your blogs and appreciate your helpful advice.
I’m very glad to hear your good news on no chemo! You get to keep that beautiful hair! Well wishes to both of you in your continued progress!
Best news ever, Susan! You are a key source of my inspiration to be healthy! Cheers to you and Mr Mickey, too!
What wonderful news – no chemo! I had 20 radiation treatments before I had chemo treatments for bone cancer. It’s been six years and I’m doing well. I believe in the power of healing prayer and pray for you & Mr. Mickey’s continued good health. You are such an inspiration to many, many people. God Bless!
Wonderful news! Best wishes. Judith
Susan,
Thank you for sharing. So happy and thankful for you that there are no Chemo treatments needed. Great news on Mr. Mickey also.
Praying for you both.
Vickie
I enjoy your post every week. Hope your treatment goes well. You are truly like a good a friend, I found you during Covid. Take good care of yourself.
Kaye
Wonderful news for you both!
YAY!! God Bless…..;)
Thank you for sharing your good news. Because of early detection, I didn’t require chemo or radiation, but took Tamoxifen for five years. I am a twelve-year survivor. May you be cancer free in the future also.
Such good news. Very happy for you!
Very good news! Continuing prayers for you both.
Fantastic news! I’m a 22 year survivor and that is the same treatment I had. I am so glad for you!!!!
Dear Susan, I’m praying for a quick, complete, & successful resolution to this health issue for you. All the best. Many people are sending positive thoughts and good wishes your way! Best regards to Mr. Mickey.
Liz
Such good news, Susan. And you look so radiant in this photo.
Could you please explain why adding a belt over your top helps?
Many thanks & best wishes!
Adding a belt shows where the waistline is rather than letting the hemline of the top bring the focus too low. Long and loose may seem like a great option for hiding our least favorite bits, but it can also make us look wider.
Good news! So happy for you both!
Dear Susan
Your post brought happy tears to my eyes, for both you and Mr. Mickey! I needed to hear someone’s good news – to remind me that in this crazy world there can still be moments of pure joy.
Congratulations – and continue to Seize The Day, every single one!
Much love
Jan G
That is wonderful news. I’ve been praying for you and Mr. Mickey also. My 18 year old granddaughter has to have her thyroid removed in October due to cancer. Drs. do not think she will have to do any treatments due to finding it early. Thankful for God’s goodness.
That sounds like some good news.
Such wonderful news!!
I have been following you for a long time and always appreciated your blog and the sharing of your style and some of the events in your life – but have never commented until now. Just want to say how pleased I’m sure we all are that you are doing so well (Mr. Mickey too) and that, in spite of your health issues, you remain radiant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I am so glad to hear your wonderful news! Yea, no chemo! I will be praying that the radiation treatments go well. May God bless Mr. Mickey with energy and strength. You are looking great! Thank you for giving us updates.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful news. I enjoy reading your posts although I never leave comments as I am a great lurker. You and Mr. Mickey have been on my mind and heart and I am delighted you are doing well. May your health continue to improve. Best wishes always.
Hooray no chemo. So glad to hear !!
May I ask what hormone inhibitor will you take? I took Aromasin for 7 years, [after radiation] and as soon as I was off it, the cancer was back in 3 months. Next, chemo therapy and within 4 years it was in opposite breast. Double mastectomy, and again it came back as metastatic breast cancer (in lung). I’m now taking Ibrance and Faslodex ( on these for 7 years). This all began in 1986! Never be conservative when it comes to breast cancer. 30% of breast cancers become metastatic. Don’t mean to scare you, but I wish I had a double mastectomy in 1986.
I will be taking Letrozole. I’m sorry you had to go through all that.
Wonderful news for you and Mr Mickey!!
So happy to hear of your and Mr Mickey’s health updates! Continued prayers for you both
YOU MADE MY DAY !!! NO CHEMO!!! Great news for two good people!!!
I am so happy to hear this good news. Take care.
Great News for both you and Mr. Mickey
Dear Susan, that is great news! My sister had similar treatment and doing well after more than five years. Enjoy this wonderful fall weather with those positive vibes.
Congratulations! I’m sure that’s a big weight off your shoulders! Wishing you and Mr Mickey a speedy recovery and many years of good health.
K Cole
Great news!!!
Thanks for sharing your good news. Please keep us posted and you are both in our thoughts and prayers.
Wonderful news!! So happy and will continue to pray for both of you!!
I’m so glad you don’t need chemo, but I have to warn you, those hormone inhibitors will cause you to have hot flashes which can really make life uncomfortable. At least that was my experience. But they have this device you wear on your wrist that helps you control them. They’re called Embr Wave. I don’t know if it works since I was past that stage by the time they came out, but I’d try it.
Feels like my friend just got the best news ever. 4 weeks after this post, I read it and did a little whoop for you. Congrats on the early detection and treatment. May the good news continue! You are looking great, too. Thanks for sharing.
How long lutein for your medical report!… Please share with us again what your eating regime is these days… Love the white collarless jacket!!
Diana Paradis
I mostly eat vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, full-fat Greek yogurt, and fruit. Occasionally, I have wild-caught fish or free-range chicken or turkey. My meals are consumed early in the day, and I always have small portions. I rarely have an evening meal.
I am delighted to hear you won’t need chemo. I had breast cancer four years ago – 12 chemo treatments, 33 radiation treatments and an estrogen block pill probably for the rest of my life. (I am 73) All that aid, it was a good as it could be and I am thankful to be fairly healthy today. Congratulations on your good health; as always, you look wonderful.
Dawn
I’ve been away for a long while and decided to check in on you today. I was unaware of your and Micky’s health and am thankful that you’ve both had some good news. You are looking more beautiful than ever. I love your hairstyle and it’s good to see you again.
We’ve missed your posts and pray you and Mr. Mickey are doing well.
