People- I had round 3 of 6 on Thursday which means that I am HALF WAY THROUGH CHEMO!! Being half way through feels incredible. Especially knowing that this treatment is REALLY working well and I am tolerating it pretty well too. If you missed my last post- Carl can no longer be found by physical […]
An Update on Carl
Today is the Tuesday before my next chemo- number 3 of 6- which is the day I always meet with my oncologist to go over the blood work I have done the day prior, discuss how the last round went, and then hopefully get the OK to have the next round. I was a little […]
So Overwhelmed with Gratitude
I am not even sure how to write this post. We have been showered with love since my diagnosis- and we are just overwhelmed with gratitude. (And so, there will be many memes sprinkled throughout this post. You’re welcome) Anyway…The love has come in many, many forms. Texts. Messages. Good vibes, thoughts, and prayers. Gift […]
Happy New Year!
From our family to yours. CHEERS! Love, The Yehs
A Tale of 4 Christmas Trees
Well it’s 5:45 am and I’ve been awake for an hour- so I decided to just get up. In fact- I just took my new med (CBD oil) and waiting for it to do it’s thing (for nausea) so I can hopefully not take as much of the med that makes me wake up so […]

Now I Look the Part
The past several weeks people who have seen me have been surprised that I am up moving around…not only that but full on MOVING (house to house) and acting totally normal. That is because I FEEL normal. Sure, I had some crappy days after my first chemo and some major fatigue…but being over 2 weeks […]
Side Effects Schmide Effects
I’m up early again today. I’ve been up since 4:30am. I just couldn’t sleep anymore. I suppose this is a bit of a side effect from all the meds. Side effects. When Justin and I went to “Chemo 101” class- we were given what I refer to as my “chemo binder.” It has all the […]
How to Help
We have been asked a LOT about how people can help our family. One thing that always comes up is of course- meal trains. Because Esella and I have celiac disease- we can’t accept foods made outside our home unless they are made in a GF home/kitchen OR unless they are from trusted restaurants. (This […]
