One cut strand --- What should I do?

OK guys, I have taken your advice. I called Allen at Lefties R Us and ordered a new one. Money never was the issue, but rather I hate having to change the string at this time. As I previously stated, the bow is well tuned and shooting good as is, and I have a just a few more weeks of hunting time before I can hang it up for a while. My right shoulder needs the rest.

Allen recently made me a string for another bow and it appears to be of excellent craftsmanship. I loved the color of the string with the busted strand, but the guy who made it is seriously backed logged. I think Allen will be my "go to" guy in the future.

You made a good Choice.  My guess is, if you measure everything right now on the old string and you get a new string with the same materials....  You will be shooting right where you left off.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I made a new string for a bow one time, served it, tied on nocking points, twisted it up to the right brace height, and finally put on string silencers.  It was shooting right where I wanted it.  I noticed that there were some frayed ends sticking out of the string silencers, which isn't unusual.  Just grab my ol' scissors and trim them off.  I cut right into the string while trimming the string silencers, and cut a strand!  Oh well....

I was in the turkey blind one morning, when it got light enough I noticed one string broken, I figured good enough for one draw on a tom, did not have and extra string with me, replaced the string that afternoon and now carry an extra string.  Good to have a broken in string and blunt to shoot a few time if your able.

Outrigger order a couple string so when it happens again you'll be ready. Heck get some B50 and practice making your own, when you get good order some d-10, d97 or 8125, it's a bit expensive to practice with.

Alan does great work you made the right choice.

Yep don't hesitate, replace it.

Good to see you've done it.

strings are cheaper than bows are. Replace it.
