fawn 1 Report post Posted November 18, 2011 When I Took This Little Frogs Picture , he reminds me that every step I take in life will bring me to my destiny no matter the cost , There is always hope, Just one step at a time. Believe it. Cancer is a word No one wants to hear. But Unfortunately Our Lives are surrounded by it. You Either Have it, had it, know someone who has been effected by it or died from it. It is the world’s most dirtiest word. Cancer offers Pain and sorrow with little hope if you are willing to give up your Ghost. I Can Speak with experience. I am a 47 year Old woman . I was stricken with a Urinary Reflux disease at birth ,causing kidney infections and deep surgeries by age 7. A Life of Urinary Nightmares Living all My Life with Kidney disorders and Bladder infections, at my current age of 47, April of this year, I discovered I Had Bladder Cancer. Even being a Smoker at one time, The Doctors all agreed that My Urinary History was a contributing factor if not the cause of my affliction . I Had the world by the balls, Photographer, Sport writer, Hunter, Happy living with my Husband. I did so much voluntary work for state and Federal wildlife resources. I was Turkey hunting for the first time when I was Told I had cancer and I was devastated. I was Scared and Confused. I Looked for the Internet for answers and It made my worries worse. I Had a Surgery to remove the tumor and to assess the Stage of my illness . Called TURBT After Going through this Painful experience, I month later ,I was Told my Tumor was Cancer and was at stage two, penetrating the walls of my Bladder and Intruding my muscle . I was quickly sent to a surgeon specialist. I didn’t have much choices. My Bladder had to go. On September 6th , I Under went a 6 hour surgery. radical cystectomy with a urinary ostomy diversion. There are over 21 million Cancer survivors Today . And I am One Of Them. The surgery was difficult but over two months later I can Hunt , Take Pictures and Write you all a Nice ending to this Story.
