I’m so sad to read Mary’s latest blog. She has been diagnosed with lung cancer. This blog is the start of her cancer diary. She is sharing her experiences through her blog and others in a similar position might wish to connect with her: https://marysmithsplace.wordpress.com/2020/09/06/marysmithsplace-cancer-diary-01/
Please support and send her your love by leaving a comment on her blog. Annoyingly FB has marked her blog posts as unable to share via the usual share buttons. This is happening to my lovely writing friends in the community for no apparent reason. It is particularly unfair at a time when Mary needs our support the most.
She is a fascinating lady and a wonderful member of our writing community who I have met in person at many of the London based blogging bashes.
If you don’t know Mary Smith, this is the link to her about page: https://marysmithsplace.wordpress.com/about/
And her latest afghanistan adventures blog post: https://marysmithsplace.wordpress.com/2020/09/05/marysmithsplace-travels-with-a-sheep-afghanistanadventures-51/
This diagnosis is always such a shock but we can all help to support Mary 💜
Yes my thoughts entirely Willow. <3
Thanks for letting us know. I’ll hop over to Mary’s blog right away.
Ah, thanks so much Priscilla. 🙂
Thanks, Priscilla. I’ve seen and replied to your comment on the blog. Much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing this and supporting our dear friend.
Always, this is when Mary will need us most. Thanks Darlene. x
Thanks so much, Marje. I truly appreciate your support.
You’re welcome Mary. x <3
I wrote a comment saying thank you, Marje and it hasn’t appeared. Possibly in your spam. Oddly my reply to Priscilla showed up. Anyway, many thanks for your support, which is much appreciated.
Ah just found you on my pending box. My comments keep on being stowed away. Bit too over zealously!
I’m so sorry to hear this, Marje. Thanks for sharing the news about this wonderful and talented woman. 🙁
I know, so sorry to hear about Mary. Thanks Diana for you kindness, we’ll all be there for her.
Wishing you all the best, Mary… Six years ago I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, I’ve served my ‘five year’ term and no longer need regular check-ups. I promise you, your day will come. I didn’t start writing until after my diagnosis, it helped me enormously, a wonderful form of escapism. Lots of love, Margaret. x
Mary is a writer to her very fingertips and this searingly honest blog helped us make sense of our daughter in law’s experience of a cancer diagnosis when she’s been unable to express what she’s going through. Mary thank you fir your generosity. All my love to you on this journey.
Thank you for letting us know Marje. We must send our pink healing light and prayers Mary’s way. <3
Thank you, Marje for sharing this. Mary has my heart-felt wishes for a complete recovery and we are all rooting for her! Love and hope. Hugs xx
Yes, hoping that she will be well. Thanks Joy. Hugs, Marje x
