"A Day at the Beach"-12x16 oil

Hello again - A quick note this time




This is the final week to see my solo exhibition, "Yes, This is
Nebraska" at Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art in David City, Nebraska.
The museum will hold a closing reception on Sunday, March 13th, from 2
to 4pm, which is the last day of the show. I hope to see you there for
one last opportunity to see the show and purchase a piece from the
collection! Below are a couple of the pieces still available in the
show...click on the image to read more about each piece. To see more of

And now for some personal news...the last few weeks I've been dealing
with some difficult news, but in that was some very good news. On
January 27th I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I underwent surgery
two weeks ago (lumpectomy/lymph node removal). So the very good
news...praise God that there was no spread into the lymph nodes and my
margins were clear. And I've now learned that I will NOT have to have
chemo, only radiation. I will know more about timing, how much, etc on
March 17th. I want to thank everyone who have been praying, sending
texts, messages, cards, flowers...it has been such a roller coaster of
emotions. I'm beyond grateful that God has answered our prayers and I
am extremely fortunate that we caught it early...stage 1a.
PLEASE...FRIENDS, DO YOUR SELF EXAMS AND DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON
MAMMOGRAMS. Here's why...I've had yearly mammograms since I was in my
20s (due to several lumps which were all benign). I've never been good
about self exams. I found a lump quite by accident just before
Christmas. I woke up in the middle of the night, had an itch between my
armpit and breast, and when I scratched/rubbed it, I felt the lump. It
was like a siren going off in my head screaming "don't ignore this." I
had just had a 3D mammogram in August and nothing showed up on it. I
had another 3D mammogram at the end of December, after finding the lump
and they couldn't find anything. Then the doctors decided to
immediately do an ultrasound and saw it there. I had a biopsy on Jan.
25th and got the hard news on the 27th. I had a breast MRI the
following week as my team of doctors didn't like that it didn't show up
on the mammogram and wanted to make sure there was nothing else
"hiding." Turns out it was in an area that the mammogram doesn't
reach...very deep, close to the chest wall and on the outer edge of the
breast tissue. And thankfully the MRI showed no other tumors.


I'm sharing my story in the hopes that if it helps even one person to
decide to get their mammogram, or do a self exam in order to catch this
beast early, it will be well worth it. If you find something, don't
wait to get it seen to. Early detection can save your life...it has
mine.




As many of you know, my gallery has been open by appointment for the
last couple of months. Due to my upcoming treatments, we will continue
to be open by appointment for the time being. Please know that normally
either hubby Don or I can meet you at the gallery within a few minutes
time so please be sure to call us if you want to come by. Thanks so
much for bearing with us as we get through the next several weeks. Your
friendship and support mean the world to us!




With sincere gratitude,

Debra Joy Groesser (and Don too!)
