    • I’m With You

      From FridayThe13th April 17

      Hi there!! I was reading your journal entries and was wondering how you're doing seeing that your last entry was over a week ago. I hope you're feeling better. I don't mean to be nosy but if you could share how surgery was I'd be grateful. Even though I had a really painful surgery on my spinal cord last October I always get nervous when going under the knife. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep your chin up!!! Love in Christ, Simon

      I found out in Feb that I have kidney cancer. They found it totaly by acciedent. My doctor said that my PSA levels were high and she sent me to see a specialist. That doctor found a mass on my prostate and decide to also do a cat-scan because of having so much back pain and that is how he found the cancer. My prostate is find. So March 7 2008 I had my left kidney removed. They said that the cancer was contained in the kidney. I go back in June for blood work and x-rays to make sure it is gone.
