She was a loving mother of four and beloved wife of former NFLer, All American, and ESPN broadcaster, Chris Spielman. She was 42 and had battled for over a decade. I went to high school with Stefanie and was friends with her sister. She and Chris were high school sweethearts. If you recall, Chris retired from football to support her and his family. Donations can be made at http://www.spielmanfund.com. Here is the link to her tribute video, http://chrisspielman.com/video-clips.html or she and Chris's version of I Got You Babe[/YouTube].
Just found out my mom's breast cancer is back, after 15 years in remission. I'm not even sure if that's the right term. That's the bad news. The good news is that it's a form that is easily treatable with surgery and not chemo, and they think it hasn't spread anywhere. Like Monty Pythin said, always look on the bright side, right?

Healing vibes to your mom, zeus. While I'm sure you were very glad to hear it can be treated without chemo, I'm sure it was a serious shock/scare after 15 yrs. of remission. Thinking of you and your family!

Thanks guys. Just like Planet said, the initial news was awful to receive, particularly right before Mother's Day, but the whole family is very optimistic about the prognosis and treatment by the team at Missouri Baptist.
