Farewell and ta-ta!

 Do you ever look back at old pics and think to yourself, wish I could go back to that time? Hear a song and it stop you in your tracks? Get a hint of a smell and it brings you comfort? You get the idea; I’m going to create lots of annoying pics, smells and music sessions this week. It’s my last week with the girls. I want to create something I can look back on.

I hate cancer and that it impacts soooo many people. However I have grown from it, I’m stronger than I was. I’m not just a survivor, I’m a warrior. Really though, can’t believe “they” tried to kill me. Hence the name, Cancer Tits. 

Time to close the chapter.

So join me in a farewell and ta-ta this week. Take the pic, listen to the lyrics not just the music and create some core memories. 

It’s my infusion day today, think I’ll do the same.

Xoxo

Codswallop

 Codswallop “nonsense:rubbish” This cancer chapter is complete codswallop.  Many who undergo double mastectomy (DMX) with tissue expanders develop necrosis. Necrotic skin is basically cells that die in the skin tissue after surgery and I get to be one of the many. My doctor sent me to a wound specialist and I was recommended for hyperbaric chamber to speed me along to next steps. However after consideration and consult we determined for the necrosis to be cut out as there is healthy tissue underneath. But wait there’s more; I have a hole that tissue and skin didn’t heal and so now I’m treating for the next couple of weeks in hope that it closes up. If not, I will need surgery sooner than later and restart the process. If so, my permanent implant surgery is scheduled for May 5th.  My hair is growing back, I have 6 more immunotherapy infusions and I’m fighting like hell to get over a cold and to finish this battle.  So pull up your pants, put the boots on and let’s sto...

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Sunday was the most beautiful day. It was my last day with the girls who tried to kill me. I was able to get a run in, see my parents who came to AR for a few weeks and get some Vitamin D. Getting out felt invigorating and relieved the massive amount of stress I carried into the weekend.  I didn’t sleep well, we had to be at the hospital at 5am. I’m not a morning person. I needed coffee, food or a swift kick in the ass. I received the latter.  Also I have removed the details to keep this simple and short.  The cancer is gone. Gone. I will have a long road to recovery and of course continue immunotherapy infusions through most of 2023; but we are entering a new chapter and as I’ve said before, I’ll write my name on every page of this chapter. Keep those good vibes and prayers coming. Make today count. Much love!

Life Interrupted

 14 weeks ago (since my diagnosis) seems like an eternity and also seems like it was last week. December 19th. I rang the damn bell. I did it. We did it. I finished my last chemo today. I was unsure if that was going to happen. I had a PET Scan last week and when the nurse called me Friday, it didn’t sound promising. Turns out the doctor hadn’t read my results and was out of office. After a long weekend of waiting, my Kyle ensured me that whatever was in motion was already in motion and I went in with the thought of whatever happens, we are going to seize the diagnosis as an opportunity whatever that looked like. Next stop, surgery. (Will know more later this week) Life interrupted. I/We aren’t able to travel (due to my white blood count being low) back to Texas for Christmas. This is the FIRST Christmas that I haven’t spent with my crumb snatchers/parents/seester/nephews and their family. That hits hard. While I’m so angry at cancer coming along interrupting our adventures and dai...
