Hey guys! It’s Brittney. I’m 31 years old and have a husband of 9 years and 4 great kiddos!

02/08/2024

This time tomorrow I’ll be officially recovering from my FINAL surgery. I’ve came so far from 16 months ago! This has been the roughest road to navigate. I’m still not myself fully. Still have days where I’m just exhausted no matter how much I sleep. I can physically tell I’m weaker and just not the same. But here is to continued prayers because im still here and fought the fight! So I have to wake up hoping each day is better than the last bad day 💕💕
Also, kudos to you all going though menopause becausee it is 100% not fun!!!!
But on a serious note… check yourself and if you find something, tell someone right away… don’t wait months because you think it’s nothing. My lumps were hard and I had some occasional burning. But everyone is different. And no not every lump is cancer, but for me, at 31 years old, it was…
Another side note… I still remember reading a flyer on dr.ruffs wall about how breastfeeding reduces your chances of breast cancer. I breastfed 3 out of 4 kids for over 16 months each. Chloe was over 2 years… i think my cancer began while/pregnant nursing Chloe.

One year ago today I found out I had breast cancer. This has been the toughest year of my life and it’s not even over. My life is forever chanced. Cancer takes so much from you and it’s honestly hard to talk about. It’s hell, but we made it! I made it! So today we can celebrate all the downs and see all the ups to come 🎉

I made it through surgery yesterday! My blood counts were good enough to proceed. I’m pretty sore but hopefully everything goes smoothly from here on. The expander… and drain👀… are back! 🤞🏻🩷💪🏻

08/17/2023

This week has been rough… fatigue is kicking my butt. I’ve had neck pain and headaches every morning this week. I felt like I had a high fever last night. Freezing and body aches. It was only 99 though 🤷🏼‍♀️ I woke up this morning hurting still. My appetite is gone. I have blood work tomorrow to see if my body is even ready for the surgery I have the 22nd. My WBC count was down last week so if it’s any worse I’ll have to reschedule surgery. I thought that since I was done I would be feeling better, but my body just isn’t there yet. It’s frustrating not being able to do things. So that’s how things are going at the moment. Hopefully tomorrow I wake up with no headache and my counts are good! 🤞🏻

I’m done! I see the oncologist Tuesday to start hormone therapy, but I’m done with active treatment! 🩷🩷 I didn’t get as good of a ring as I did in my gown, but hey, it’s over!

My cancer journey! I made it into one video🥰🩷🤍🩷

One down, 27 to go 😁😁

06/21/2023

Radiation simulation tomorrow! Should be starting next week…

06/13/2023

I’m DONE!!!!
Chemotherapy was completed last week do to a reaction apparently. I was having issues with breathing and that’s a reaction that can happen (I’ve been having it for weeks I just didn’t know it was a reaction and it got worse Thursday) so onto radiation!!! Time to celebrate no more chemicals being pumped into me 🎉🎉

06/01/2023

Quick update… last week my WBC was low. I got an injection to help increase them, which worked wonderfully. I was able to get treatment Wednesday and spent the next 4 days in bed due to fatigue and pain from the injection. Fast forward to this week… my counts were extremely low. WBC .7 and everything immune related was low. So this week I got 3 injections. Last night I was in extreme pain. My legs ache and my hips feel like they’re being chiseled is the only way I can think to describe it. The pain meds I received take the edge off but it’s still there. However, I hate the pain meds. They are making me sick and I just feel like overall crap… so I’m asking for prayers to get me through these next couple weeks. I know tomorrow will be worse than today because I just received the last injection. So please if you have a moment I could use some uplifting ❤️

So where I stand now: I have TWO more rounds of chemo and then onto radiation!

04/22/2023

3 more rounds done. Half way through the rest of chemo!
6 out of 12 rounds, complete!

The last couple of days have been crappy. Hopefully my energy levels increase after the next round since we are going to do something about my blood work. Not sure if we are going to do a transfusion or just lower the chemo dose. But will know more on round 8. Thanks everyone who has reached out along this road. It’s been long and I’ll be so glad when the end is here!

03/30/2023

I haven’t given an update in awhile so here we go! 😅

I finished my THIRD round of taxol yesterday. So 9 more to go. 😁 I have meds to help with the bone pain and neuropathy my body decided to already throw at me. I’m not sure on how treatment will go after chemo ends. I just found out last week that I WILL need radiation due to the fact that I have multi centric disease (this basically means it was spread throughout different quadrants of my breast and one tumor also invaded my muscle tissue) So I’ll have that sometime after chemo ends May 31. It’s going to be a long road still, but I have all the help and support I need to make it through. So here’s to 9 more weeks and onto the easier treatment! Hopefully everything continues to go smoothly and I finish on time! ❤️❤️

Also, I’m really missing my eyebrows and hair 👀🤣🤣
