Awake and alive..

Hey all-

Sorry I haven’t updated lately, I have been super busy NOT worrying about cancer. It has been such a blessing to be able to focus my energy on day to day stuff and not stress about side effects and issues. Being back to a daily routine is so good for me mentally. I have always been the kind of person who does best by keeping myself busy. Less time to overthink and stress (the real killers). Even if it does mean that I am just spinning around in circles sometimes (or most of the time, lol).

It has been very busy around here with a certain very special ladies’ birthday and Easter. Not only is it nice to be a full participant in all of these things, it’s especially nice to feel pretty darn good doing it! Jen had her birthday on Easter, so that was cool to celebrate two such important events in the dame day. Shout out to the birthday girl herself who only gets better with every year. What an amazing woman she is! Love you and Happy Birthday! (Still)

I finished my five days of oral chemo with no issues, which is also a blessing. The only real side effects for me were fatigue, and I know how to deal with that already so I was able to navigate that with no issues. I must say that I was actually concerned going into the oral chemo stage just given how “sensitive” my digestive system has been since the surgery. Being literally sliced open tends to mess with one’s insides as I can certainly attest to. I am very thankful that I am now able to go into the “down time” (25 days in-between) feeling good and knowing how I will likely react for the next two rounds going forward. That said, anything can happen so I will stay humble. Promise.

Alright-that’s the quick version. Awake and alive. Continuing to learn and remember that everyday. It’s such a blessing!

Talk soon–
