BRAVE Majella O'Donnell
has released a public statement and photograph from
her hospital bed today revealing how she has
undergone a double mastectomy and reconstruction
surgery. Here is Majella's message in full -
published earlier on her husband Daniel's official
website. |
"I thought it was about
time that I sent you an update on how I am doing,
now that everything is over.
Well, it’s been a very difficult 7 months between
being diagnosed with cancer and my wonderful dad
passing away very suddenly. As Daniel has already
told you, I had a lumpectomy in July and started
chemotherapy in September. I am now in hospital on
day 5 after surgery for a double mastectomy with
reconstruction. I feel great, thank God! It’s so
good to be this far down the road and to know that
all I have to do now is rest and heal. |

What I want to tell you
all at this stage is how very grateful I am to every
one of you for everything you have done for me over
the last few months. Please do not think that,
because you haven’t heard from me, your kindness has
gone unnoticed. All your prayers, good wishes,
donations, gifts, mass cards, and sacred relics have
been of great comfort to me. I consider myself very
lucky to have so many people batting for me! I can
honestly say that I’m out the “other side” and in
good health again. Please forgive me for not
answering you all personally but it would have been
impossible. There have been 1,000's of
communications and every one was so sincerely
appreciated and welcomed. I don’t want to go on
about it too much but please know that I will never
forget your kindness." |
