KISSED BY AN ANGEL

On April 23, 2009 I was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma.  According to the doctor this type of cancer has no symptoms and is most often diagnosed only after it is too late.

But I was kissed by an angel because I experienced an unfamiliar pain that was so intense I could not write it off to a yoga miss-stretch.  My primary care physician could not find anything out of the ordinary.  But he had the wisdom to order further tests. The CT scan found a 2 inch tumor that was completely encased in my right kidney.  A follow up scan showed no other tumors in my body. On May 8, I had my right kidney removed taking the cancer with it.

Because of my good health the doctor said it is as if I am a kidney donor I have had a remarkable recovery.  I am healing quickly and credit much of it to eating well, taking supplements, having a positive outlook, and of course, my Yoga.

I thank all of you for the outpouring of love, good wishes and healing energy.  There are no words that come close to expressing my gratitude for the gift of an angel’s kiss.
