Hi everyone,

I know I have not been around much in the last month, I have struggling with lots of anxiety and not doing well. Thanks a lot to all of you who have been sending me little messages.

Today I have just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer as well. I will need to have another surgery soon. I am in shock. It seems that I just can not catch a break.
