Having just completed my last round of weekly chemo treatments, so it was time to check-in and see how things are going and how my body is responding to treatment. I'm so excited to share the report was excellent! In the words of my surgeon, I'm "a total outlier to have this much of a response this quick," which is exactly what I wanted to hear. Not only was this news a huge relief, but it was als...

It might have taken a cancer diagnosis, but I've finally learned the importance of slowing down, being kinder and more forgiving with myself, and listening to my body. I just completed nine out of twelve weekly chemo treatments that will make up my first round of cancer treatment, and I've been very lucky to only have two days where I've felt really bad. I know this is because of everything I've b...

I've been working my butt off fighting cancer. Some days are good and some days are hard, but I'm learning to surrender, fight myself less, and listen to my body. I've completed seven rounds of chemo, and while I know I need that magic fairy dust (as I like to call it) to heal me, it's still hard to walk in those doors each week. Having treatment buddies go with me has helped... and so has dressin...

I got more information from my doctors. And it's shit. It sucks, and I'm not happy about it. BUT I'm not one to dwell on negatives or how much "cancer sucks", instead I try to find the beauty in everything and look for the lessons life is teaching me. I've been overwhelmed with gratitude by the outpouring of support from everyone since my diagnosis, so today I wanted to share an update on my journ...
