The Surgery News
Great news, the surgery was a success. I was lucky enough to speak to Kathleen not long after being out of the recovery room. They found no sign of cancer in the lymph nodes they tested and the oncologist will give us information soon on what stage of cancer it is. My sister sounded so happy and relieved that everything is going better than expected. She's happy to be 47 and have tight tits and a tummy tuck in the process too :). Thanks to God and everyone's love, prayers and well wishes for the strength, guidance and comfort towards Kathleen and us all in these times.
I was surprised at how emotional and sensitive I was on Monday and today. For the couple of weeks, I've been focussing all my energy into bouncing and sending postive vibes her way. However, Monday was the day we've been waiting for - surgery day. Naturally, it was a release and relief for everyone. Dad and Halina (Kathleen's mom) were very brave and are most pleased that it's all behind them. Now the days of Kathleen's recovery and rebuildling her vitality begin. The opportunity for new choices and a new way of living await Kathleen.
On this trip, I've met a woman named Melissa whose close friend, Emma, was just diagnosed with breast cancer last week. She's 33 and is still processing the shock of it all. She was aware of a lump in her breast and the GP said it was nothing but a cyst. Only until a colleague strongly urged her to get it checked out last week, did she discover it was indeed malignant. The next day she went in for her lumpectomy and they found cancer also under her arm. Melissa is naturally affected by this, wanting the best for Emma and to be the best support she can to her friend in need. It's during times like these, we want certainty that it will all turn out fine. However, the truth is that the only certainty we have is how we choose to handle the situations we are faced with in life.
Tomorrow is the Holi Festival (Festival of Colour) in India. It's one of the most auspicious days of the year and it represents Joy and new beginnings, especially for females. How appropriate that we are here during this time.
To me, each day is a day of joy and celebration, for it is the day I am living, loving and being so grateful for so much. Especially grateful for life's challenges as they contain something the greatest gifts of learnings. Some of the greatest gifts surround me now.
My thoughts and prayers are also with Melissa and Emma and the thousands of other people affected by cancer.
