The next operation by jchanders

Posted on July 22, 2011

Two days ago the tumor in my left kidney was targeted by a procedure they call Radio Frequency Ablation. This way of treatment is much less invasive than even a so-called non-invasive operation as I had in January for the tumor in the right kidney.

The treatment was done under anethetic, but I only had to stay one day and night at the Leiden University Hospital as everything went according to plan and I was feeling quite ok very quickly. Hopefully there will be no complications in the days to come and both kidneys will keep functioning well.

I am very glad that this barrier has now been taken too, and I do hope that my energy and inspiration will improve in the weeks and months to come. After all I have been a rather poor participant on the galleries in the past period, mostly not feeling up to a more active role and having only very few new pictures worth showing in store.

I hope you are all having a good summer. With my very best wishes,

Juergen

    Hope you are doing well, Juergen, and that you will soon be out and about. We are having such terrible heat here that no one can get out much. Even the dog just takes care of business and then comes straight back to the house. So none of us are producing much with the cameras. It can’t last forever, though: you will get better, and the weather will get better, and we’ll all get back to normal soon. My prayers and best wishes are with you for speedy recovery.
