Kidney Cancer's returned but now it's in my bones

Hello, and blessings to all. It's been quite a few years, my life went through a lot of changes. I had renal cancer in February of 2012, I had a partial nephrectomy and was told the cancer would not come back and that I did not need chemotherapy or radiation. Well as of a month ago, the cancer is back and it is renal cancer in my bones, same side as the partial kidney I had removed. I have a tumor the size of a baseball in my right leg, it is at the side of my knee and above and has eaten 1/3 of my bone. I am bedridden as of one month ago due to the fact the bone can shatter and that would not be good. I will find out on Tuesday when I see my Oncologist if the cancer has spread anywhere else. They did a complete bone scan and a full torso CT scan to check for more. It's due to the kidney cancer the Dr. told me and it has spread over the years. I am posting this so anyone who has had kidney cancer is well aware of the possibility this could happen.  I feel bone scans and CT scans should be part of the protocol and should be  done yearly!!! If the cancer is no where else, I will be having surgery on Friday and they will be removing 5 inches above and 5 inches below the knee and my knee about a foot section and will be replacing it with metal plates and a knee replacement if that's as far as they need to go to remove it all. This all could have been prevented as I have 8 different doctors and have complained of pain and swelling in my knee for years now and no one did an x-ray or anything till a month ago, they could have caught it sooner if they had done the other tests yearly.  They thought the pain was from the osteoarthritis's and EDS and told me to take Motrin, they don't really do a through check once they diagnose you. I am not trying to scare anyone, just preventing another sweet soul to go through the deep waters I have to tread through, I am not alone as my God is always with me and my fiancé who has been my blessing though all this and we will defeat this cancer once and for all!!!


This is a picture of  Sandusky bay. I am blessed to have a beautiful home on the water and a boat to relax and enjoy the summer breeze with my fiancé Larry, he takes great care of me. It's been a while now that I cant walk,  but I can sit on the porch and watch the train on the other side of the bay, God is good!!!

Hello and Happy Monday!!! I am loving this fall weather we are having in July it is my favorite weather :-) We had a bit of a storm last night but no damage done here Thank God. I am so Thankful and Grateful that everyone made it through them with minor damage and no lives lost.

Today is a new day :-) Time to put Sunday behind you and look forward to the wonderful things God has in store for you today, because if you look behind you all the time, you will never grow or move, you will be stuck in the mess called the past and it will keep you from becoming the best you that you can be and will stop the joy from coming in to your life that is waiting to be set free.

Have a great day today!!! Blessings, Hugs and Love......

Hello and Happy Monday everyone :-) Today is a very busy day but fun, I love working as it can be a great way to get your energy flowing.....I think if I was home all day I would get bored, I am one of those people who can't sit still I always find something to do because if I sit I will get stuck there all day LOL.

Today think positive thoughts always look at the bright side, each side has a positive and a negative a dark and a light and we get to choose what we want. As for me I believe we get what we speak or think so I am staying positive even when there is so much negativity going and proclaiming that "Today is a wonderful day and great things are going to happen" ............ Blessings and Love.........

Hello, and welcome to my blog of gratitude and joy. I have not posted since April 2012 and I hope to stay on top of things now.....My sister Terri started this blog for me and I just didn't seem to have the time to spend an hour or so on it so I am going to try again and see where it goes....




Today is a beautiful day because its a beautiful gift and I choose not to waste a single minute if it! I wish my sister was here as I miss her so much there is not a day a hour or a minute that goes by that I don't want to pick up the phone and talk to her again and hear her voice, but that is not possible and I must ignore the ache in my heart and think positive thoughts and stay strong.....


May today be exactly as you wished it to be and spoke it to be, our life is the words we speak and the thoughts we have so have the happy thoughts and speak the positive words.......Blessings and Love to all.......
