Crow 'Lucky' In Fight Vs. Breast Cancer

In February, rock star Sheryl Crow had breast cancer surgery.

On Tuesday, she told Early Show co-anchor Rene Syler she is now considered "likely benign."

The two spoke at the annual Breast Cancer Research Foundation Symposium and Awards Luncheon.

Syler was a facilitator of the luncheon, and Crow presented an award.

The foundation handed out $24 million in research grants at the event.

Crow told Syler, "I feel great. I feel lucky. I feel empowered. About two weeks ago, I had (what's considered) my six-month (checkup), and I am likely benign, which is what they say. I guess they can't say 'you're cured' until they can be definitive about it. But I am celebrating 'likely benign.'

In a light moment at the podium, Crow remarked that, in a show business world that puts so much emphasis on cleavage, she was never known for her breasts until she got breast cancer.

Both of Syler's parents had breast cancer. She says her mother is doing well, eight years into her battle, and her father has passed away, though not from the disease.
