Today I have decided that I wanted to share something that is so personal to me and my family with the world. I am going to have hopefully part of my right kidney removed on January 10th. the doctor's discovered a tumor embedded inside of my right kidney.
I have been processing this surgery and the anxiety has built up tremendously. I know that I have to prepare myself both mentally and physically for what is to come. I have always found writing to be so therapeutic. This blog is my coping mechanism and my way to connect with others.
During the last year I have read many medical blogs where people have talked about kidney cancer and recovery from nephrectomy surgery. I have found so much comfort in hearing the stories of others who have or are currently dealing with a similar condition. My hope is that my blog can also bring comfort to others and be a place for great discussion. So today is day one of many to come. I promise it will be interesting. If you know me you know that I am a character!!
