Every year Robbie and I collect Christmas ornaments from places we visit... local or abroad to reminisce what we did that year with each other, family and special friends. Is it sad that I am SO glad there is nothing cancer related in this stash! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I can't wait to put these on the tree with him tonight! 🎄 🥃 PS....still waiting on the date of my PET scan very impatiently! 🤪

I did it y'all!! Last chemo in the books. 26 LONG weeks of red devil, taxol and nuelasta. I want to give a BIG shoutout to my family for helping me through this journey. Not sure I could have made it without you all and especially to my favorite airman and Husbandman who has been my biggest cheerleader. 🇺🇸

We didn't ring the bell today. Although my oncologist is very optimistic, I would rather save this big step after I know my scans are clear!! 😉🙏 🔔

We pushed my meds VERY slow today so Robbie and I could enjoy brunch at our favorite spot, First Watch! We went there after my diagnosis to discuss things, try and soak it all in so today we went back, asked for our same booth AND our server and the manager were so kind they paid for our breakfast! 💗

What's next? Petscan in 2 weeks.. if clear I start aggressive radiation on both sides for 6 weeks everyday! 😩 Then will get 2 weeks off and then will start the clinical trial.

Thank you all for your messages today!! I slept most of the day and cannot wait to celebrate this milestone with a handful of friends this weekend who have been by our side through this journey!! 💗

I came home from Chemo today to this beautiful Christmas ornament of the Farm House in South Carolina where I grew up. 🏡 ITS BEAUTIFUL and would love to know who sent to me?

Oh and we just have ONE MORE chemo to go!!! Take that Cancer!!! 🥊 🖕🏽

Thank you for this beautiful ornament on my tree tonight. 🤎🧡

There are days, not many, but some days when I wake up so damn angry! 😡 Today was one of those! I didn't sleep well.... never do on night before chemo! But normally I wake up and just say let's go do this! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Went to chemo, my numbers were there for me to receive chemo today but not where they truly wanted them to be. My Vitamin B12 was off the charts 📈 and my attitude sucked!! THEN.... a man named Bruce walked in for his chemo and handed me "hand warmers" he had bought for me because I am always so cold after my treatment!!! Felt a little bad I was salty and not in the mood to talk but he has one more next week and I have time to correct my attitude and tell him thank you probably in a more Kristin way! 😁

Bottom line..... I am 1 more down and 2 more to go!!! Giving myself grace, giving myself all the feels... just allow me to be angry (ok and maybe thankful my phone didn't crack when I through it this morning 😳🙋🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️) I see the finish line 🏁 Just in the moment f'ing despising cancer, chemo and even talking about it!!!

Schedule that screening!! This 💩 sucks!! Meanwhile, nap time and super excited for our babies, Lisa and Craig, to come Friday!! ✈️ 🏈 🤍 BUT how cute is my granddaughter!!! The cutest little 👻 in the pumpkin patch!! 🐾👻🥰

I normally only show the good or I try to anyways. BUT today just SUCKS! I am over being a freaking cancer patient! 😤

Had my appointment with my oncologist today and my body isn't cooperating. My bone marrow isn't producing the white blood cells I need. It's causing fatigue, diarrhea, a fever blister from 4 weeks ago to not heal, mouth sores to where I don't want to eat and so much more! 🙄

So the solution? I get to have Nuelasta shots TWICE A WEEK NOW! I am just pi**ed! I hate them!! I get so sick with it, the bone pain is unbearable and if you know you know..... IT SUCKS. 🙃

I am so blessed now I get to go to the clinic every Monday for bloodwork, every Tuesday for chemo, every Thursday for the shot and every Friday now for the second shot! I walked out feeling so f'ing defeated, so f'ing over cancer and just want to be normal!!

So I came home to the most supportive husband a girl could DREAM of having!! He held me, he cried with me and then I showed him the trunk where I had gone and bought another Christmas tree!!! 🎄😬 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know this pity day will come and go! If you know someone going through this, my biggest advice is to not ask them how they are feeling or doing.... ask them anything about their life other than cancer because if they are like me, I am f'ing over talking about it!!

Let this PSA reminder be .... check yourself! Get your screenings because this little club I am in although it has really cool people in it, it's not one you want to be a part of!!

Tonight's dinner was 😋 My Nuetrophils were barely high enough for chemo today but the 🚦 was given and we went. 🤪 BUT.... we also get Nuelasta tomorrow. 🙄 For my warriors that know what that means.... it meant I ate my grits tonight, my protein eggs, buttered bread with LOTS of grape jelly 🍇 and although I didn't have any bacon in the house I found some frozen sausage links and thawed those bad boys out!

Nuelasta brings 🤢, bone pain, exhaustion and a lot of WTF's!!🤷🏻‍♀️ BUT today means FIVE more before next pet scan and possibly being done with Chemo! Schedule that screening... cuz this 💩 sucks. Don't be me😉

OMG Mama G Gail Gauthier this is the best!!!! I love that you're one of my biggest cheerleaders too!! It's so pretty on my "keep me happy tree"!! Can't wait to see you in 8 short days!!!!! ✈️⛳️⚾️❤️💙 PS.... wish I could do cartwheels too!! 😜 Love you!!

🎉 We're Moving in the Right Direction 🎉

Met with my oncologist today and although my WBC is still very low it's UP!! 🤩 Received Nuelasta today to continue to boost my immune system (I got it kicking and screaming because it makes me so sick 🤢) BUT if it allows me to get on that ✈️ in eight days to see my babies.... shoot me up doc!! 💉

Chemo is back on for Tuesday and my Boston trip was approved today!!! Golf tournament, family reunion, touring Fenway, Going to a Red Sox Game and putting my toes in the sand at Gloucester Beaches and plenty of naps!! So this thing called Cancer starting September 6th can just take a back seat!! ⛳️⚾️🏖️

And Shoutout to my amazing husband who continues to support me everyday!! Video in comments of our fun time at an outdoor venue seeing REO Speedwagon! Everyone needs a Robbie!! 🎸🩷🎙️🇺🇸

Schedule your screening!!!! 🩷🩷
OH and Go Tigers 🧡💜

This past week has been hard! 🙃Probably my hardest one yet. I look in the mirror and I see scars. I see no eye brows, miss my beautiful lash extensions, miss my long hair. Chemo side effects suck!! Haven't eaten since Monday, face acne I am like who dis 😳 and don't leave home without the little blue barf bag. 🙄

But today, I am telling myself it will be okay, October 15th will be here soon (praying it's my last chemo on my bday) then I am going to see my Tigers play for my "I did this 💩" and leaning in to find joy in this beautiful life I have. 🤍

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of visiting the Broncos Practice Field, watching young men practice that to many are NFL players and to us ... family. Spent time with our beautiful daughter and with who reminds me through his own journey, we can do hard things!

What a rollercoaster 🎢 of emotions cancer and chemo can bring but thank you to all of you for your support! It's okay to have bad days.

Tomorrow brings on what we pray my last red devil!!! 🙏 So tonight we had dinner and drinks with the most inspirational friend to prepare us for this upcoming fight!! 🥊 Will say not physically prepared for tomorrow... but mentally bring it on! Schedule your screening!
