dREADED C word

Firstly I apologize for not blogging or leave any comments any where in bloggy land.

I have written this post so many times and each time it just seems out there, as I do not have everyone’s email address I felt the best option was too post here rather than leave people out…

I have kidney cancer –Left Kidney a CT Scan for Diverticulitis on the 19th May bought this to light, I have had several more scans and lots of blood tests and lots of  visits with specialists and much more tears and fears. We just found out this week that I am going into hospital on the 27th June to have my entire Left Kidney removed-my Right 1 is working well and will be able function well.

I am truly blessed and very fortunate that this has been discovered now whilst it is walnut size instead of fist size –which I’ve been told is when they are normally detected. It also is the perfect time of year to have to be spending time recovering after the op at home as it is our dry season and the weather is quite mild, if I need to snuggle in bed I can or just lounge with a blankey.

I realize this is a real brief post, but there is people out there suffering a lot worse, and I really am counting my blessings-I treasure my blog/www friends and felt this the best way to inform you all..

as for facebook umm well..it will appear on there eventually at the moment I am just asking that please don’t write anything on my wall-just send me a private message, many thanks…

Thanks for visiting

Cheers Vickie

You are one brave and amazing woman, and my friend. Still praying, daily holding you before God, daily thanking Him it was found so early.
Now snuggle up and let yourself cry more if you need to, but also hug yourself more 'cause those hugs are real and coming from all of us who think you're gorgeous and love you.
Friends always,
Jenny
