I Can’t Make This Stuff Up {An Update}

It has been a WHILE since I have updated here. This is mostly because life has been relatively boring 😉 In my last post (from JULY!!) I had just finished the 28 rounds of regular radiation and had my 3rd of 14 infusions of microscopic cancer killing juice- aka Kadcyla. After that post- I finished […]

Quick Update

I realized it’s been a while since I’ve updated on here- most of my updates have been on facebook and I realize not everyone is on there. Let’s see- today I finished up 28 rounds of radiation! However I am not totally done with radiation yet- I now have 5 “boosts” which is radiation that […]

And I’m Off on New Adventures…

I started writing this post several days ago but when I started reading it back to myself today- I decided to erase the whole thing. It just didn’t sound like me. It’s crazy how much more “myself” I feel like today than I did just a few days ago. Anyway….. So I wanted to give […]

An Update in Isolation

It’s been a while since I’ve updated. I hope this post finds you all hanging in there as at this point most of us have been isolating for what- 7 or 8 weeks? Things are generally good over here. A week and a half ago I had my single mastectomy- which went as good as […]

MRI and Surgery and Infusions, Oh My

How are you all doing out there in isolation? We are OK here. I admit that I would LOVE a vanilla latte from Peet’s and a solo trip to wander Target aimlessly…but we all know that won’t be happening for a while. I thought I’d give an update on the cancer front. As many of […]

What is Chemo Recovery Like? Let Me Share…

I am so incredibly lucky to have so many people who’ve been checking in on me over the last several months as I’ve gone through chemo- I feel so loved each time I get a text, message or call which absolutely helps in my healing! So thank you again to each and everyone of you. […]

I’M DONE!!!!!

I’M DONE!!!!!

I am DONE with chemo. Done. Writing that out doesn’t seem real to me. It doesn’t feel like I am already done with this phase but…I am. It went by much faster than I anticipated and I am D O N E!!! Six rounds in the books! I’ve been asked quite a bit how I […]

Round Five DONE…

Round Five DONE…

…and it was a doozy! I’m writing this on day 6 post FIFTH round of chemo and I made it through again! I will say- this round was not as easy as some others (but not as bad as round one or three!) This time, my chemo date was my friend Lisa. Lisa and I […]

Cancer: A Three Year Old’s Perspective

Last week, we all watched a new family movie together called Wonder Park. It’s about a girl named June and how she and her mom created an amazing mini theme park called Wonderland that’s run by a group of animals. The mother tells June that she is sick but that there are doctors that can […]
