Sheryl Crow is expected to make a full recovery, after undergoing breast cancer surgery. Our thoughts our with Sheryl on her road to a full and speedy recovery.

Crow had the surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday and is recovering without complications, her publicist, Dave Tomberlin, told The Associated Press on Friday.

“Her doctors think her prognosis is excellent,” said Tomberlin.

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.

“I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends,” the 44-year-old rock star said.

Crow’s former fiance, cycling champion Lance Armstrong, said in a statement Friday night that he was “devastated” by her illness.

“Once again I’m reminded of just how pervasive this illness is, as it has now touched someone I love deeply,” said 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.”

It’s all about early detection, people. For more information on breast cancer and early detection, please head on over to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation website.
