Melissa Etheridge Recovering From Surgery

Singer had lumpectomy last weekend.

Melissa Etheridge, who announced earlier this month that she's been diagnosed with breast cancer, has undergone surgery and is currently recovering at home.

Etheridge's prognosis is "excellent" after undergoing a lumpectomy last weekend for a lump she discovered during a self-examination, her publicist Marcel Pariseau said in a statement on Thursday.

"Melissa and her doctor are deciding the next course of treatment," Pariseau said.

"I'm taking all of this one day at a time and spending time with the ones I love," Etheridge said. "I want to thank everyone for their outpouring of concern and affection."

The singer, 43, canceled the final 11 dates of her tour earlier this month in order to have the surgery (see [article id="1492071"]"Melissa Etheridge Diagnosed With Breast Cancer"[/article]).
