We have had a couple of days now in the very liveable Kuala Lumpur after a couple of traumatic days before we left which have affected our whole holiday plan. I will explain here cause I hope only friends are reading this and you will understand. We are now ending our trip in Paris and will be home by about June 9 as at 2.30 pm on the day before we were due to leave I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shitty but true!! After miraculously getting an appointment with a surgeon on Friday afternoon, he agreed that we could have only six weeks of our holiday. We thought it would be great to go to London to s ee Lanie and be there with Paddy and Abbey and then have our long waited time in Normandy and Paris. So now we will be returning after Paris. The other amazing thing on that day was that John had a sore tooth and went to the dentist to be told he needed root canal work. So what a wonderful day last Friday was. Hopefully all will be well, we will have a wonderful time because we know it won't be so wonderful on our return and my dear sister will put appointments and surgery in order for when we get back. So PLEASE some prayers for our wellbeing and the slow growth of whatever is in me and for John's tooth.
We had a great flight over. the plane actually had quite a few spare seats and John had two seats and I had three. Could even lie down and have a snooze. Air Asia's food leaves a lot to be desired but we quite like them as an airline. We had a great day today in KL. Went up to the Skybridge on the Petronas Towers, walked a lot, visited the Royal Selangor Club (a British institution) and Mederka Square, found the real Little India which was mostly shut because it was Sunday and did a bit of shopping. Good day.
Exhausted now and ready for the feet to be up. If anyone ever wants a good place to stay in KL the Hotel Chinatown Inn is great. Only $33 a night and very clean big rooms.
Take care everyone.
OMG...............it's not fair!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe will certainly be praying for you both.
Enjoy the next six weeks as much as you can.
Once you get back, you'll be in good hands.
Another friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer & has undergone chemo & is presently having radiation treatment. She is very positive & would gladly chat to you once you return to Oz.
Love Bob & Linda.
Oh, Deb! Don't know what to say, other than I'll be thinking of you all. You are strong, Deb, and I know you will get through this.
