I endured 16 rounds of radiation while doing chemotherapy at the same time
If you were wondering radiation doesn’t hurt at all. It feels like nothing at all. It’s like getting an x-ray (little teeny green laser beams)
When I felt the tug of my hair pulled tight into a little ponytail it was a familiar feeling that I hadn’t felt it in over 3 years since losing my hair. Experiencing that sensation was something I wasn’t expecting but certainly… unknowingly, had been looking for.
It was an indication that my hair was no longer cancer regrowth. The next chapter in my life was beginning, a goal that seemed so far away was now here, and it got me thinking. We set goals for ourselves, but the goal posts always shift as we flow through life, but...
Rang the bell today after 10 rounds of whole brain radiation.
That was a lot. Not even going to try to dress it up, just really glad to be done with this part.
One step closer to the next phase of healing 🙏🏼

Things didn’t go the way I expected for a while.
When I got diagnosed, it honestly felt like everything just paused for a moment. Like I had to take a step back from the life I had in mind.
I’m not gonna lie, this has been one of the hardest chapters of my life. But...
at the same time, something in me knew I didn’t want to just sit there and wait for things to feel “normal” again.
So I slowly started choosing my life anyway. I’m still figuring things out, but not letting it stop me.
Sometimes life changes direction unexpectedly, but...
