I’m kind of glad October is almost over so my feeds aren’t filled with reminders all day every day! I think about it enough lol

Hopefully it has pushed people to finally make that call and book a mammogram though 😉

Finally got CT scan results back and cancer is still stable!! I do question the report though. “Ovaries unchanged and appear normal”

🤔

I don’t have any….

I LOOK TOO HEALTHY TO HAVE CANCER.

But cancer doesn’t always look like a hospital bed.

Sometimes it looks like a smile.
A beach day.
A laugh.
A mom making memories.

You see the picture.
You don’t see the fight.

Don’t judge someone’s health by how healthy they look.

CANCER DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE A LOOK. ❤️

I have not dyed my hair in over 3 years due to the fears of the side effect of hair loss. I wish I’d caved sooner as it mentally feels great to have a change (and the pampering!) that I can control!

Quick update that’s mostly positive!! Only thing that showed on the bone/ct scans was more osteoarthritis and planter fasciitis…..cancer spot is still stable!!
Good results from altering my chemo med schedule too from the 3 weeks on 1 week off to the 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. Neutrophils (white blood cells) had been consistent for 3 years at .9 where 1 is worrisome. They have jumped to 1.89….2 is ideal but much closer to that than .9!! So I have a bit more of an immune system.
My oncologist said “for a cancer patient, you are doing really well”

This was an uplifting appointment for sure!!
It came perfect timing as someone in one of my support groups lost her battle this week after 6 years. I’m at 3. As hard as you try not to go there and compare, you do. You count years of others and wonder when that switch goes for you. When do the drugs stop working etc.
But then I have an appointment of all wins like I had and remember everyone is literally on a different journey.
So reminder to live in what is and not what could be!!

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk 😜
