I almost can’t believe it has been 4 months since I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer! I’m proud that I’ve managed to keep smiling throughout and more grateful than I have words to express for the support of my amazing family and friends.
Treatment has been rougher than advertised, some days have been truly awful but others not so bad. I’m glad that I seem to have stabilized, although I have learnt with cancer that I should always expect plans to change. I’m beginning to feel more like myself and have some space clearing in my head to think about other things, like creative Christmas projects.
I’m sorry I haven’t been on here with any updates before now but hopefully I can start to get stuck into something creative and hope to share this with you all. I’ll probably avoid too many of these type of posts, there’s only so many ‘tissues up the nose’ pics that I think you should have to bear! But I’ll hopefully have some fun projects to start working on without the stress of actually having to program workshops - at least for now!
Thank you for all your wonderful messages, many I still need to respond to, I can’t tell you how much they have meant to me and my well being! Xo
