3rd of 30 radiation treatments down, which means I’m 1/10 of the way done! Immunotherapy went smoothly today. So ready for a nap now!

07/15/2025

Radiation starts bright and early! 6:30-7am every day for six weeks. I’ve gotten my new markers, we’ve done the planning and mapping and are proceeding despite all the hiccups and bumps and frustrations that have delayed us these 8 weeks. In only a few hours I’ll receive the first of 30 treatments and begin another leg of this expedition called or or if you will. I’m so ready for this to begin and then lead us to the next steps!

Day 1 of the regional convention was phenomenal! And following that with a date with Hubster makes it the perfect day!

From a weird lump that came and went back in April and again in July, to finding that 62x111mm mass hid within the dense breast tissue in August, from that first surgery in September where my daughter asked me to carry her bear, to March and the final chemo, where I’d collected blankets, socks, stuffed animals, lotions, creams, hats, a placenta scarf spelling out “love”, books, scented candles, a signed poster from a band recently affected by the loss of a loved one to breast cancer, and even an iPad, as well as numerous cards and puzzles from semi-strangers, dear friends and loved ones… there’s never been a doubt that I’m loved and supported! Every chemo appt, whether successful or postponed, I took pics to remind myself that life isn’t just seen from my perspective. I took pics of things that meant something to someone else, and took pics of other people. It’s so easy to slip into the mindset that I could close my eyes and wake up pain free on the other side. But that’s not the whole story. And the other stories woven within would be riddled with more pain than I would ever wish upon them. I fight, not just because I really like living, but because I love those who love me. And I don’t want to be a source of pain for them.

Surgery is in roughly four weeks. The findings from that could be great or they could be the worst possible. Either way, I’m fighting. I’m fighting because I’ve been blessed with people who want me to fight. I’m fighting because I believe this life was a gift and I’m not going to squander it. More precious than all the things given to me during my fight was the gift of life. He didn’t intend for us to live in an imperfect world with imperfect bodies. And soon we won’t have to. Until that day, I fight.

Treatment # 16, fourth Red Devil. I’ve done it! I’ve finished chemo! My family (some born into it, some chosen) made this possible by being here for me in ways only they could!

My big goalie boy is playing Ontario right now! How I wish I were there, in Cleveland, OH, watching him tear up the ice and defend his net! Missing him and his dad so much, but also immensely proud of him!

On a particularly down day, I received the perfect pick-me-up from three gracious and lovely ladies that have meant the world to me with their positivity, wisdom, love and understanding! I’m so grateful for my tribe!

So many have given so much, and I cannot fathom going alone through this experience! The meals, the hats, the cards, stickers for my car and my Stanley, the mushroom powder to build my immune system, the care packages, the monetary gifts, the handmade cards and gifts, the books, blankets, lotions and soaps and skin care products, stuffed animals, texts and phone calls that come at just the right time, the day dates… and so much more! I’m so thankful for all of them, and all of you!

Came in with red streaking and pain at the PICC line site and a knot on my forearm that I was worried was a blood clot (it is, but preliminary reading says it’s superficial) and got diagnosed with SARS Covid2 in the process.

Treatment 2 of 4 about to begin! We’ve been here 2 1/2 hrs, so Jay’s a bit more than a bit frustrated. 😅 But I have my new blanket, elephant, oncology shirt and tablet from , my scarf-style blanket from , and my fun kitty socks from to cheer me on, and my darling Jay to make me laugh!

Friendly reminder: you are never immune to cancer. I breastfed all 7 of my babies and donated milk to many more. My mother breastfed me. My grandmother breastfed her. I don’t carry the BRCA gene (hereditary breast cancer gene). I cut sugar out of my diet in Dec 2017. Cancer doesn’t care. It finds a way. Get your mammogram. Get your Pap smear. Get your colonoscopy. Early detection can save your life.

My view at the NCI infusion chair, watching helpful citizens dig out the mailman who ran smack into a snow mound. 😅 They’ve been digging for quite a while now, and it seems he’s chosen to continue to plow forward instead of going back from whence he came. 5 Good Samaritans giving this fellow a hand, helping not only him, but everyone on his route to get their mail today! “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail, nor idiot driver shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds.”

Yikes! Reaction to something, but not sure what! Two extra doses of Benadryl and feeling better, but still itchy.
