I’M HOME!!The hospital let me out last night and I woke up this morning to the sun streaming in and the view of trees from my bedroom window and my gorgeous children wanting a gentle hug with Mama. I’m so lucky and so happy to be back in comfort and surrounded by family 😊

Mr Lindsey is confident he got it all&I’m lying in bed drugged up to the eyeballs looking forward to some sleep. I can’t tell you all what a comfort it has been to have all of your support. I’ve been so moved and felt a cushion of love surrounding me and carrying me through. 🥰

I’m out of surgery!! It took rather longer than we thought, but apparently that’s because I have “an unusually long rectum”. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Also it was very deep inside my pelvis.

My gorgeous Auntie Rachel died last night. She was the naughtiest, funniest, most beautiful and courageous person I’ve ever known and we will miss her so much. So happy to think of her reunited with my Dad who adored his sister. She held up her 2 fingers to cancer and so will I!

Update: My operation has been brought forward to next Tues, 11th October with Mr Lindsey at the JR in Oxford. Good news!! Just been looking him up and it looks like he knows what he’s doing. AND he uses a robot 🦾 🤩

>I’m hoping I won’t have to have any chemo afterwards but they won’t know until after the operation. Thank you all for all your beautiful messages and prayers. I feel surrounded by love!

Update for those who’d like to know - Looks like I’ll be having an operation on October 22nd. Not set in stone yet but 🤞We know that it’s stage 3 rectal cancer and he’s going to take out the tumour and surrounding lymph nodes>

4 of 4) It’s so strange writing a post like this. I’m not really one for sharing this sort of stuff. But at the same time, I’d like to show people that as an artist it’s possible to have these blips and then come back better than ever!! 🤞xxx

3 of 4) BUT the good news that I received yesterday, is that it just looks like I need an operation and maybe some radiotherapy. I’ll be bouncing back and singing again as soon as my body permits.

2 of 4) I’ve been diagnosed with a colo-rectal cancer, which is funny given that was what my darling Dad died of last year, and I probably had it the whole time we were nursing him!

1 of 4) I’ve wondered whether to write this post, but I feel that as a performer I have to be honest about why I have to keep cancelling work especially having only really just started again after having children.

Wow Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha. Just wow. Spectacular! Flawless, I’m such a fan x
