I'm now two days away from my surgery and I'll be completely honest, I'm terrified. I could wake up to one ovary removed, both, a full hysterectomy, and even a chemo port put in. Im trying my very best to remain optimistic, but boy, is that hard. I had pre-op blood work done this morning… Continue reading T – 2 Days
Because my life is so much more than cancer, let's talk about something I'm super passionate about: running. I've always struggled with my weight and used asthma as my crutch giving reason as to why I couldn't (wouldn't) work out. Unhappy with my self- image I began exercising, watching what I ate, and ultimately, discovered… Continue reading More Than Cancer
My first step toward advocacy and promoting awareness will be participating in The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life event tomorrow. This is the first of many steps I plan to take in order to advocate, provide awareness, share my journey, and inspire others.

I'm assuming you can imagine the immense level of anticipation and reluctant eagerness that engulfed not only me but those around me. I was even going to take a selfie and… Continue reading God Must Think I’m Pretty Patient
Spread awareness, educate yourself, and contribute if possible. This I believe will be my end-game, help contribute to the awareness of rare diseases, the ones no one knows about. ❤️ https://rarediseases.org/
Being completely honest, my number one goal for this blog was to provide people with insight and acknowledgment of the feeling, the horror, and the tremendous terror that floods the voids of a family when someone is sick. And I don't know if I can do that. I'm a great writer, but that's not what… Continue reading Raw Reality
TODAY IS BEACH DAY! I have been progressively feeling better (relatively speaking), so we’ve decided to designate today as beach day. Since we live so close to New Smyrna Beach, we will be able to drive and park the car directly on the beach and not have to trek beach gear very far. The pain… Continue reading My Dog has Gender Dysphoria
