Holiday time again!

hello folks

Here I am again, over 12 months since left kidney Nephrectomy last October. 

I managed a month last year for our usual trip to Lanzarote. I'm pleased to report I will be off again for 2 months this year on 10th December. I had my annual scan on 25th October, no results yet but working on the basis no news is good news .

i've had a busy year, my youngest daughter gave up teaching and decided to do what makes her happy and open a craft shop and move closer to us from Yorkshire to Lincolnshire. I've been busy working at the part-time job I got after retiring from full time legal practice after my diagnosis last year, but I have also been helping my daughter to make craft items for the shop. If anybody lives near Alford look in and see me at Weiss Paradies craft shop. Never been so happy! 

I know everybody is perhaps not doing so well and I feel blessed with the life I have at present and making the most of everyday. Might be a bit early but seeing as though I'm off to warmer climes in a few weeks, merry Christmas all xx

  • Hello Jeanne,

    It's lovely to hear from you again before you go on your exciting travels. Are you off to Lanzarote again soon? Wow two months in the sun - we will want to hear more about your exciting adventures!

    We're pleased to hear you are also keeping busy with your part-time job as well as helping out your daughter with the craft items she makes at the shop. Best of luck to her in her new venture.

  • Hi Jeanne,

    I find it so reassuring to read survivors stories So thank you for sharing! :)

    I too am waiting for scan results which I'm due to receive tomorrow. The waiting in between is the worst time for me, I'm sure you can relate. Distraction is key though, hey?!

    Enjoy your holiday! Naomi x

  • Hi Naomi

    hope the scan results are good today. I'm still waiting for mine (4 weeks tomorrow). Yes I do find the waiting frustrating but hoping that all will be well. I'm feeling good and forever an optimist. I just could do with the result so that I can hopefully get better and cheaper holiday insurance this year for my pending annual migration to Lanzarote. It's amazing what a bit of sun can do for your frame of mind.

    Let us know how you get on. It's good to have a chat on the site with people who can truly relate xx

  • Hi Naomi

    how did your scan results go? Hope it was good news. Finally got my results today after waiting just over 4 weeks, good news , no recurrence whoop whoop!
