Let’s talk about CANCER!! Uggh! I haven’t updated everybody in a long time and for that I apologize. I have been a little quite about everything because I don’t know a lot of what is going on. I haven’t been to see my oncologists in a while. However, that is scheduled to change this coming week.

I am scheduled to have an MRI of my brain, PET scan of my entire body and a ton of blood work. I’m nervous about all of it. But the PET scan I have to say is the one I’m not looking forward to the most. Since surgery, last September, I have had two other PET scans and both scans showed enlarged lymph nodes around my liver. In my case, that is never a great thing to have going on. It could be nothing, and probably is nothing. But the PET scan next week will show if the lymph nodes have increased in size any more, or hopefully the scan will show that the lymphs have went back to normal size!

A few months ago, they increased my oral chemo to help fight if anything was going on next to my liver. My body was fine for the first month of the chemo increase, but since then I have been experiencing some really hard and difficult side effects. Most days, I throw up basically off and on all day long. I’ve lost a bunch of weight (I’m okay with that part 😘 lol) I have been experiencing some of the most wicked fatigue. I have absolutely zero energy and my body is just a bit tired i think from all the medicine.

I have had some weird side effects like the palm of my left hand keeps turning orange! It’s crazy. My right knee area keeps doing the same thing and is apparently kinda normal. I’m basically an Oompa Loompa in the making. Lol. The part that has been probably the hardest for me is my hair has started thinning out pretty badly. The front and top of my head are so thin now and it makes me sad. But, I am alive today and that’s all that matters right now.

I am fighting right now for something that’s important to me. I am okay, and I am going to be okay. I believe in the power of love. I want to say ‘thank you’ to everyone reading this. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for believing in me and with me and for sending prayers and positive thoughts my way.

I am asking everyone to please continue praying for me and sending me positive vibrations this week as I go back to Duke Cancer Institute in Durham and have these important test done. I am so thankful for all of the folks that have shown me so much love and kindness during this last year of my life.

I am so blessed. SO blessed. 🙏❤️
