Hands down, hardest week since the path results came back. Nothing is wrong. Everything has just bubbled up and overflowed again this week as I shoved myself through 4 different appointments…all for this dumb cancer stuff. Radiation Oncology consult with Dr. Spencer Dental appointment… Continue Reading “Friday Frustrations”

5 years since the first fraction. 5 years of extreme healing and growth behind me. It will never stop feeling like yesterday and a billion years ago at the same time. Onward and upward. #goneglandagone
Yesterday was 5yrs since my radiation simulation…hands down the scariest day of the entire radiation process for me. I didn’t even make it back to my desk before I broke down sobbing because it was real. It was happening. And I didn’t want it to be. I asked for the pictures for my blog #goneglandagone, but even 5yrs out they still make me a little uneasy. That Freddy Krueger mask saved my life though and my tears from the SIM process smiled back at me letting me know that it was all going to be just fine. Thank you, Jesus. May we always let the memories of our painful experiences continue to humble and heal us! Onward and upward, friends!
Ya know…there are a LOT of downsides to the special hell cancer and radiation treatment brings (and continues to bring in some cases) but I’m more of a “bright side” ☀️ kind of girl sooo check out that jawline!! Surgery basically gave me a semi-face lift and radiation did a magic shrink wrap thing to my neck so super defined jawline it is for me…but just on the left side. 🙃 Celebrating the tiny things today and smiling for health and miraculous healing always! Onward and upward! (And how cute is my hubs 🥰)
5. WHOLE. YEARS. AGO. My life changed forever in the most unexpected way and shattered me to my very core. 5 whole years ago I didn’t know if I would see today. I was terrified of what the next day or week would bring and my mental and emotional state, not to mention my identity, was nothing but a pile of ashes. But the good Lord held me in the mighty palm of His hand and gently led me day by day, moment by moment, carefully piecing me back together and reminding me who I am and who He is. If you’ve been around for any length of time, you KNOW firsthand how unspeakably hard these past 5 years have been and how hard I’ve fought to be “normal” again. I will always have daily reminders of what I went through to wade through and I will always look back in awe that it was me in these pictures but today I’m filled with simple joy reflecting back on my journey and all the Lord has carried me through. Thank you, Jesus. Onward and upward! #goneglandagone
I. Am. 100%. Cancer free. I could cry big ugly crocodile tears. It’s 4 days before the 5yr anniversary of the day that changed every single day since. The day that shipwrecked me on an island I never wanted to be on. And let me tell you, I’ve exhausted every survival tactic and resource within my reach these past 5 years. Today the rescue plane showed up and carried me back to safety.
