Sheryl Crow recovers from breast cancer surgery



Sheryl Crow had breast cancer surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday and is recovering without complications. Doctors said she should make a full recovery.

In a statement posted on her Web site, Crow called the surgery "minimally invasive" and said she will be undergoing radiation treatment as a precaution. She said she benefited from early detection, and urged other women to have themselves checked.

"Once again I'm reminded of just how pervasive this illness is, as it has now touched someone I love deeply," said Lance Armstrong, who is a survivor of testicular cancer.

"Based on my contact in recent days with Sheryl, her doctor and her family, I am confident that she will have a full and complete recovery and the world will be a better place for it," said Armstrong, who asked that Crow's fans keep her "in your thoughts and prayers." And that we will do...
