This period, often called “the lull” is BY FAR the hardest period of time you will experience in comparison to all the others. It’s the time immediately following treatment, and for most, it’s the first time that you are without any kind of active… Continue Reading “Treatment’s Over…What now?”

Allll aboard! 🚂 One way ticket to continued cancer freedom! Ya girl got clear scans last week, and I’ve taken some time to process what that means to me these days. I don’t ever want to get used to hearing things are stable and that there is no evidence of disease. Ever. But I’d be lying if I said the emotions walking into scans are the same as they used to be. Does anyone ever go to enough doctors appointments that it drops the emotion and fear and it moreso feels like a trip to the grocery store? Like just something you have to do…again? Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve had enough scans at this point to willingly get stuffed in that tiny tube and accept the short nap I’m about to take. Bleh. I never on my most hopeful days thought I would walk into scans mostly carefree. Kind of makes me gag actually. What happened to me? Am I numb? Am I healed? Have I lost all care and empathy? I don’t know yet. But until I do…I know I’m still cancer free. To God be the glory. #goneglandagone
While this is intended to help with #covid19 trauma and all that has happened in our world this last year, I couldn’t help but think of my cancer journey and how those 5 things rang (and still ring true) for me.
Had the incredible opportunity to serve as the voice of a patient for UC Health San Diego’s Physics Direct Patient Care initiative workshop today hosted by Dr. Todd Atwood and Dr. Derek Brown! Check out this slide of percentages that show the topics of patient questions from consultation to the time of CTsim. What do you think? Did your questions fall into these categories? #radonc #patientadvocate
I shared this on my personal account on 3 days ago. The day I started losing hope that this was our time. This was the month we would see two pink lines. I’ve always been very self aware physically from being a dancer but that day I felt the Lord quietly start to speak to my heart and give me peace through the inevitable. That didn’t make today easier, when dreams of now became dreams of the future again, but choosing to believe God is still, and always will be, good. Onward and upward!

...Andddd we back! IUI #2 this morning and praying hard for our little Sweet P in the days to come. Kdot and I have somewhat enjoyed this process together. While it sucks sometimes too I’m extra honored he’s the one that will be the father of my children and the man I love for the rest of my life. That realization truly never gets old. We would love and appreciate your prayers alongside us that Santa Jesus fills my stocking full this Christmas!
