I read an article yesterday on surviving suvivorship, and it struck a chord in me…several actually. The title grabbed me because of the notion that survivorship might not be the walk in the park that it seems to have the reputation for. The article… Continue Reading “The Cancer Never Leaves”

The week inevitably came with a wide range of emotions leading up to my surgery anniversary, July 6, 2018…exactly 1 year since the day we officially said goodbye to Glanda.

Today vs. 4yrs ago today. ☢️ I had one, single fraction left & I was fried beyond fried in every way. A gazillion things, places, people, and prayers have healed me since then and there is still a ways to go. Thank you to all who have given me little boosts along the way! #radonc
A little pre-story session to my storytelling video project I’ve been working on for @astro_org! Today I’m presenting at the UAB Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship Group at 4pm via zoom! Link to join in profile! Meeting ID: 997 0777 0645 #goneglandagone
A morning on the front porch planning for my upcoming Storytelling Session at this year’s @astro_org conference. It’s always hard to walk back through those days but it’s also humbling and reminds me of the amazing healing and incredible journey cancer afforded me. Wouldn’t change a single day…(I don’t think 🙃) Stay tuned!
LOL at myself today with how whiny I am about this lip ulcer when during treatment 4yrs ago my entire tongue was an ulcer and I ate tomato soup on the reg. Apparently I’m not as tough as I used to be. Swipe to see the treatment 👅
Triggerrrrssss. Went to a dermatology appointment this morning but had to cross through this section of the hospital. It’s the place I sat in the patient transport wheelchair after I got my drain pulled from my neck and they confirmed it was cancer. It was the LONGEST 5min of my life waiting for K.T. to get the car. And it immediately makes me anxious when that scene floods back in. Trying to be thankful for that moment of humility this morning. I was there —> now I’m here. Onward. #goneglandagone #parotidectomy #salivaryglandcancer
