Welcome

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!!
