Happy Sunday, lovelies.
I have news!!!!!
First, I had a mid treatment MRI scan done last Monday. The scan was done to see how the cancer responded to the “red devil” portion of my treatment and to determine if I would be able to flip over to the next phase.
50% REDUCTION OF ALL TUMORS!!!!!!!!!!!
I’mma say it again:
50% REDUCTION!!!!!!
On the phone with the doctor, I was all composed and whatnot saying “Oh! That’s great news! Yay!”. As soon as I hung up, I BURST into tears. I cannot properly express to you the relief I felt in that moment. ALL of the sick, ALL of the exhaustion, ALL of the shit felt…justified.
Because, let me tell you, the past 4 weeks -in particular – have been so, so hard. It’s not only the physical sickness. Going through something like this…depression and anxiety become your sidekicks. Unwanted and unwelcome, but they don’t understand social cues or even clearly stated boundaries. They come in without knocking, park their ass on your couch, and make themselves at home.
The desire to DO something, anything, digs at me everyday. Anyone who knows me knows I operate at one speed, GO. When going to Walgreens to pick up a prescription wears you out, it’s obvious that one has to slow down.
With that in mind, I figured helping others in a way that didn’t completely exhaust me would be a good thing. I have some things up my sleeve. Stay tuned…
As always, I cannot tell you what your support mean to not only me, but M and the girls as well.
I leave you with this, created by the oh-so-talented Brian Andreas and sent to me by my soul sister, L.
Love and light, always ![]()
