Sheryl Crow underwent surgery for breast cancer earlier this week and the prognosis for a full recovery is excellent, the singer's publicist reported Friday.


Crow had the surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday and is recovering without complications, said Dave Tomberlin, her publicist.


"Her doctors think her prognosis is excellent," said Tomberlin.


In a statement posted on her Web site, Crow said she would have to postpone a North American concert tour that was scheduled to begin in March. She said she hoped to reschedule the dates as soon as possible.


"Approximately one in seven American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and more than 2 million Americans are living with breast cancer today," Crow said. "I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year."


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.


"More than 10 million Americans are living with cancer, and they demonstrate the ever-increasing possibility of living beyond cancer," Crow said. "I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends."


Tomberlin said he didn't know when Crow was diagnosed or if she had told her former fiance, cyclist Lance Armstrong, who survived testicular cancer.

This broke my heart when I read it. I am SO happy that she was treated and her outlook is great.

WOMEN please get yourself checked. This doesn't have to be in your family.....it can be YOU!!!....

Min and myself, among others are living proof out very important this is. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!!!!!!

I LOVE YA MIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww. . .I love you too Dora!

I just read this story about half an hour ago and my 1st reaction was to wretch. Each time i learn of someone else having to deal with this horrid disease it just kills me.

in the story it says 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime. . .the last stats i knew of were more like 1 in 4. it's getting to be more and more prevelant and in younger and younger women. The younger you are, the more agressive and deadly it is. so it's imperative for everyone to do self exams and if something isn't right--get to the dr. don't let fear slow you down. . .because it could cost you your life!

I love you two....Hugssssssssssssss

i hope Sheryl will be ok...i love her ! ...one of my idols! im glad her surgery went well. **prayers for Sheryl**

This disease has effected SO many people I cherish...gahh...I hope Sheryl will be just fine..

*~oh man i hope she gets better, cancer is the ****** devil =[~*

I wish you her the best.

Wow how sad

I hate to hear about this, but I'm glad her surgery went well...much luv to ya Sheryl.
