Wells on road to recovery
I talked this afternoon with Greensboro City Council member Goldie Wells, who plans to be at Tuesday's council meeting after undergoing treatment last month for breast cancer.
Diagnosed with cancer last month, Wells underwent a masectomy at the end of March. She found out last week that she will not require chemotherapy or radiation treatments, though she will take hormone therapy pills for the next five years.
Elected to the District 2 seat in November, Wells missed a council briefing session March 28 and a council meeting April 4 while dealing with her illness.
She thanked her doctors and credited prayers from friends for aiding her recovery.
"There’s power in prayer," she said. "I have not felt sick or anything, which has been a blessing and a miracle to me."
