My Cancer Interlude

Well, it has been a little while since I added to my blog I'm afraid so I thought a short explanation was in order.

Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer just before Christmas.  As you can imagine this diagnosis turned life upside down, so Fiddly Fingers has taken a bit of a back seat.

I have undergone, chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy since January and have just last week come out the other side!! I am now on the long road to recovery and hopefully a cancer free life. Fingers crossed!

This journey would have been near impossible without my wonderful support network of family and friends who have helped me immensely and given me tremendous support along the way.  Thank you to all of you.

    1. Hi Anita, it's astonishing, when you are diagnosed with cancer, how many people you come across are going through it or know someone who has. I'm very pleased to hear your mum is fit and well. Lovely to hear from you :)

  10. Fico feliz por superar este momento de sua vida. Estou agradecida por me orientar a fazer uma bolsa com flor africana, que amo muito, mas não conseguia fazer projeto algum. Deus te abençoe!
