Time For Hope & Refelection
Barrie's op has been confirmed; he will undergo keyhole surgery in the first instance on 4th August. Once inside, the surgeon will assess the "spread" and if necessary remove any nasties from the tissue surrounding the affected kidney.
I am sure my rejoinder is unnecessary however I appeal to all to spare a moment or two to wish Barrie all the best and a swift recovery on 4th, also to reflect on the life changing effect this evil disease can have, not only on the directly "infected" but on their nearest and dearest.
