I started typing this when the Benadryl hot and I'm so glad I didn't post it then 😂 So many typos and words that didn't make sense!
Long cancer story short, these 9 years have taught me A LOT. From treatments to nausea and heartburn relief to skincare and nutrition... I feel that one of the most important things I've learned is how to speak up for myself and say "no thank you." No thank you to zofran (wicked headache), no thank you to steroids (I feel like I'm a mental patient), and no thank you to people who don't value my friendship (seriously that politician who doesn't care about you is more important than our 20+ year friendship? Weird but okay bye)
I've also learned to say YES to more things that bring me joy, from the dog park to time with real friends to watching an "old movie" (like the 90s) with my kids. (Can't Buy Me Love is still adorable, Bring It On holds up) Also date nights with my husband are so special.
As I inch closer to 50 I'm feeling the drive to do more for ME. The list of musicians I have yet to see in concert is getting smaller (I've probably seen over 700 bands live) the number of plays. I want to see increases weekly. And TRAVEL! I can't wait to start traveling again!!
Anywho this post is about cancer treatment and how hard it is to choose what's right for YOU. Some people really thrive on being told what to do while others want to take responsibility and ownership of their treatments, supplements and game plan. I wish I would have listened to my gut and not done 30 rounds of radiation. Regret is part of the journey too.
So wherever you're at please have an open mind, listen to everyone and make meditated & educated decisions 🙏
Happy to be here,
Sierra

What am I wearing a ? Because radiation and chemo are the gifts that give and take... they can heal but also harm your body. Mainly heart and lungs but can also hurt your nervous system, gut, skin, kidneys, liver, bones, and reproductive organs.
I already have damage to my left lung from the way-too-much radiation I received at UCSF (who didn't care about my concerns at all and also refused to wrote a referral for HBOT) but Stanford in now concerned about my heart as well.
So this Zio heart monitor stays on until 11/4 and then I mail it back to Stanford in the prepaid box where they will download the data to go over with me at our next appointment. It tracks my heart beats and I press the button when I have that flutter - they'll be able to see if it's a real heart issue or a lung/ breath issue. Pretty cool!
Stress test coming up after that. But first, trodelvy number 3 on Monday 🙏
Have you worn a heart monitor? How did it go?
Cheers to more years,
Sierra

It's the TIME. The scheduling. Rescheduling. Driving. Parking. Waiting. Scans. Pokes. IVs.
There's also the money but going to 2-6 appointments every week is a LOT of time. Thanks goodness some of these can be on zoom now but yesterday was a full day with 2 appointments, labs, and 4 different stops around the cardiology clinic.
The awesome news was that I didn't fully read the last pet scan and although there was a little growth in my liver (I could feel it but now its better), nothing lit up in my bones!!! That is incredible! What a nice parting gift from 🥰
Hair is falling out everywhere. Need to get my eyebrows done before they go too. Need to write 3 papers still. But first, a nap 😴
Cheers to many more years,
Sierra

Day 14 on and honestly it hasn't been that bad. A little constipation (I think from one of the premeds) and some fatigue but no nausea (oh thank goodness) and no diarrhea like they threatened (seriously gave me 5 meds for it). The hair is coming out in chunks today, will probably be gone by Thursday.
But I will trade hair for LUNGS and time any day. My breathing is SO much better, the cough is just about gone, and I don't have the fear of the end surrounding me. (Huge thank you to my support team and sorry if I scared you from the ER!) I'm just so beyond grateful and if you have working lungs and can move your body, PLEASE go do that. Then thank your beautiful body for being so incredible and functioning and getting you places easily and painlessly 🙏
The main issue has been emotional - like ALL of the emotions all the time. Sadness, grief, anger, trouble concentrating, reliving trauma, frustration... not me at all. And I don't like it. These guys are seriously hindering my hunt for JOY and living the happy life. So I'm going to get outside more, maybe go back on Prozac for a few days, and say yes to more activities now that I can almost make it up my stairs without stopping again 🙌
Overall it's been pretty good thanks to my supplement plan and nutrition. I think some people have a rough time with trodelvy and dairy (from what I read - I don't eat dairy) and also with lots of carbs. You really need FIBER and to support your body with fruits and vegetables through this medicine. Treating yourself with sugary food isn't always the best option with chemotherapy unfortunately. Treat yourself to concert tickets instead!
Starting my new classes today too vvrroooommm,
Sierra

Live your life as deeply as possible. Make memories. Buy the tickets. Do the things. You never know what tomorrow brings.

I live in delulu positivity land but every few days I get pulled back in to reality and the emotions hit me, sometimes harder than others. Yesterday was a brick to the face.
I will let myself feel the feels and work through it but I was actually feeling okay and running errands with with my kids when the tidal wave came. We ran out of time for 2 things (oh my beloved Costcoooooo) and I realized I'm probably going to be feeling yucky this week and wouldn't be able to go, which put me on this whole spiral downward. Then I got downright mad that I didn't realize my kids have today off from school and instead of doing something fun I have to go sit in an IV chair for 4-5 hours. That's time away from my family that I don't want to give up!
So here we go for round 2 🥊 Not fighting, just healing. After this we will do 18 more and be done 🧘🏼‍♀️ Putting it out there.
Finishing up new supplement plan with my naturopath but I'll share that when I'm done too. I might start going in for ozone blood treatments too or find EBOO again. My blood have been kind of wonky lately and need some support. Plus I loathe that nupogen shot that boosts your white blood cells and hurts your bones and kidneys.
Tons of nutrition and supplement info coming your way soon! This first semester is almost over... after 2 quizzes, 3 papers and 2 final projects 🙈
Have a nausea free week,
Sierra

I write a pretty good paper! Please consider it, Mr. Anthem Blue Cross 🙏

Starting tomorrow for . Trading my hair for perfectly working lungs 🙏
Met with my naturopath on zoom and got a new supplement and off-label AND mistletoe plan but I haven't gotten a disability check in over a month but couldn't make it to the office because of the whole breathing thing. September was supposed to be really lovely and fun and was quite the opposite.
Hoping OND (ugh I always despised that sales phrase) brings me more healing, health, peace and calm.
Also I turn 50 in about 4 weeks and wanted to plan a murder mystery fancy dress drinker but now I don't know how I'll be feeling so we're postponing. Not canceling, postponing.
Same with school. I missed the last 12 days, 6 papers, 15? quizzes and the final project proposal for first the 2 classes. I'm going to see if I can postpone and do one class at a time. The pace of 2 is incredibly intense - the students doing well are quite young, no kids, and are fresh out of undergrad. I am the opposite 😂
So here we are pivoting to a new treatment, new plan, new hairstyle, and new schedule. Oh that's the other thing - Trodelvy is an IV and it's 1 Monday, the next Monday, then the third Monday off. That's the cycle that we will do 10 times.
Wishing you all a fabulous week! The weather has been great here and I'm looking forward to getting my feet on some of that beautiful earth, maybe even the beach ❤️
If you have any tips for this medication feel free the share them below and help each other out ❤️‍🩹
Hello October, please be gentle,
Sierra

Fresh out of the ER and back into more meetings and bloodwork and scans. I want to go swimming in this fountain.
