Updates
Welcome to my real-time journey through treatment. This is where I share the day-to-day: how chemo went, small victories, honest struggles, and the moments that matter when you're fighting for your life. These updates are raw, immediate, and mostly for friends and family who are walking this path with me. But if you're here, you're welcome too.
You can also check out my blog posts, which are deeper reflections on this journey - the lessons I'm learning, the realizations I'm having, and the experiences that might resonate beyond my immediate circle. These are for anyone navigating something hard, or loving someone who is.

Before I started chemo, I was below 90lbs. At my last infusion, I broke 115lbs!

Wednesday was a hard day, but I'm feeling so much better. Joshua got me flowers that day, and just the smell of the roses alone lifted my spirits and (like magic) physically made me feel better. Thank you to all who have sent prayers our way this week - they have been felt ❤️

My spouse and I were treated with Cracker Barrel Thanksgiving dinner, and I am thankful for this quiet, peaceful, and laughter-filled thanksgiving with just the two of us.
Another batch!

I'm finally all caught up on sending out thank you cards. Feels so good to finally have my gratitude expressed. I've been feeling well this week! I've been sleeping a LOT more and perpetually resting. I got fluids on Friday, so that's really helped my body stay on top on this battle. My spouse made me the most delicious steak for my birthday dinner earlier this week, and it hit the spot. That good protein really helped my body recover quicker than previous infusions. Love you all!
Home and Resting

Home, unpacked, and resting 😊
All my blood levels came back normal and my WBC is elevated but that's to be expected. This means my immune system is protected and I get to see my kiddos for my birthday!
