lazey1 Posted April 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Although it has been awhile since my good friend Kakalena posted reqularly here on Cruise Critic. I am sure that she still has many friends here who enjoyed her posts, the excursions she oversaw and the multitude of meet and greets that she set up. Kakalena has shared on facebook and given me permission to share here that she has been diagnosed with lung cancer. It is a subtype adenosquamos type 1A which is quite aggressive. It looks like she will be having a lobectomy to remove the bottom lobe of her right lung, the date for surgery ihas not been set. she said " This is the moment where I need the support and prayers of all my friends...you were there for me before and I have no doubt you will be here for me now. I thank you all for your support and love you very much." Jane 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakalina Posted April 3, 2021 #21 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Thank you all so much for the kind thoughts and thanks to Lazey1 for sharing. It's true I haven't had much heart for posting here since I lost Virgil. I do follow the threads from time to time. Lazey1 and I have a Hawaii cruise set for November so I have to get through this and heal as quickly as possible. With the help and support of my friends I've got this! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
