I’ve somewhat avoided this post for a few days, mostly because I was too tired to think and also because I didn’t know if I could do the specialness of this day justice. October 20th was a day I had been anticipating for every… Continue Reading “The Finish Line”

(4.20.22) Today is exactly 4.5 years from my last radiation treatment. I know it seems silly to document a half-anni but when we’re talking cancer, every single day is a gift to be celebrated. Can I get a good amen?
Today was my first appointment in the new Sullivan Survivorship Clinic at UAB (named after the late great Pat Sullivan). This is a program that was initiated by my brilliant surgeon Dr. Bill Carroll and carried out to support head and neck cancer patients during treatment and beyond. Thankful to be one of those “boring” clinical visits for the team today and incredibly grateful to know the Sullivan clinic exists. More to come soon! Onward and upward! #goneglandagone #cancersurvivor #salivaryglandtumor #headandneckcancer
Just admiring this little strand of magic after letting my hair air dry! 🦄 I have board straight hair that I typically flip over my head, hit with a hairdryer, and walk out the door but radiation gifted me some stellar curls when my hair grew back in at my treatment area and they have delightfully hung in almost 5yrs out! While my day-to-day is much different now, it’s still the little things that keep me humble and remind me of what I conquered. Praising the Lord today for spirally little curls instead of constant mental spiraling! 😵‍💫💁🏼‍♀️ #goneglandagone
NEXT THURSDAY! Don’t miss it! Support is crucial through and beyond a cancer diagnosis! #headandneckcancer

Bigggg presents this year. Still kickin’ it here in Alabama with squeaky clean scans and a big ole heart of gratitude and surrender. The Lord continues to bless us abundantly! 🤍🤍 #GoneGlandaGone
