Naturally, since being diagnosed with MBC (metastatic breast cancer) I’ve been asked numerous times if I have a bucket list. You know, all those things you’ve ever wanted to do in your life if you were unrestricted by money or time? Yes, I do have a bucket list but it’s not very large but it's meaningful …
Just an Update
Monday This will be a long week. I begin radiation after work each day. Instead of doing the 10 treatments we are doing 5 treatments of longer duration so I can enjoy our family vacation next week. I feel mentally more capable by the day. I guess each day that passes you process your situation …
Tuesday
It’s strange that I always suspected I would get breast cancer. I don’t know why but I just knew. I also knew that I would beat it…and I did. Even though I went through all the treatments that were prescribed, the 8 rounds of chemo, the 33 radiation appointments, the countless blood draws, the endless …
One Year Later…
Clearly I've been working on this blog for a minute! These wouldn't have to be so long if I updated more often! I've missed writing and I've missed you! This blog began as a flight of thoughts. I often just free write my thoughts and feelings as small blurbs and once I've purged those I'll …
Four Tattoos
~During chemo treatments I developed pretty bad neuropathy in my feet. Since that time I have been a self-labeled “fall risk” because at least twice a day I have a ‘near miss’ where I stumble. Until recently I’ve been able to prevent an actual fall. Saturday that roll came to an end when I took …
Here I Am.
When I say cancer takes everything I truly mean that it takes it all in one aspect or another. Sometimes in places you don’t expect. I had a solid breakthrough yesterday while meditating. I’m so positive and upbeat about beating cancer. I feel like I’ve come through the woods and am emerging from the other …

Over the last week, since my counselor hypnotized me, I have been incredibly upbeat and full of energy. I’m not sure if it’s the hypnosis suggestions regarding positivity or what but it’s really been a positive thing for me this week as I head into my 8th and final chemo treatment. The only thing getting …
I Didn’t Know We Were Doing That
Today is a beautiful day in the PNW. The sun is out, it’s 57 degrees with the promise of a high of 64. The Mr and his mom took the kids to Seattle. They were all very excited. I stayed behind for 2 reasons. 1) I have my first counseling session and B) I can’t …
The Blindside
What a week it’s been. After the horrible lows of last week, physically I’ve feeling better for the last couple of days. Still tired and periodically nauseated but hanging in there. I turned my attitude around after my last blog and am maintaining fairly well. So my FB status yesterday was a vague-book post …
Found Some Words
I’ve been trying to blog for days and days. There’s so much going on in my brain lately and I have to sort it out. Feels as if I've written this blog before. I'm in the midst of cycles of chemo so I cycle through the same set of feelings/issues every couple of weeks--some themes are …
