Chapter 34 : July 13… The BIG DAY!

Pin on LOL2


So this post isn't really anything other than im happy im not dead WHOO HOO!!

Sooooooo, July 13th is my cancerversary, and I say let’s throw a friggin party! Balloons 🎈, streamers, icecream cake 🎂, Jell-O shots 🥛, an animal I can take for a walk maybe an hella bougie a$$ elephant named Gloria🐘 that only eats black watermelon covered in shaved white truffles, sparklers 🧨 (or bombs apparently according to my IPhone emojis, that’s legit what came up when I typed sparkler🤣), and of corse a 1.5 hour firework display executed at a location of my choosing, maybe a Muskoka lakeside mansion. Oh and of corse let’s not forget Pitbull must preform. That man sure knows how to throw a soirée. While we are at it, why not have Martha Stewart decorate and Mark McEwan cater. 😋😏

Some may feel this is a really weird thing to celebrate or be happy about…. Well first of all, have you met me? Or read this blog? Get it together people, this behavior is nothing new. You should all know this by now. 🥸🤪

As I see it, why would this not be something to celebrate?!? It may seem in some twisted way that I am celebrating the day I found out I had cancer, and well yes your not entirely wrong. But, this is so much more than that… I’m celebrating the fact that I’m ABLE to celebrate! Yes! The fact that I’m still here and  able to type this post is a massive win, and for sure something to get hella excited about, and wanna party over!🥳🎉👯‍♀️🍾

It’s been a h3ll of a year to say the least, pandemic NOT included 😷. In fact looking back I’m truly proud, not necessarily for all that I’ve been through, but more or less how I’ve been able to handle it. Along with a new outlook on life, I have been forever changed. 

I was never scared I would die, as I never imagined I would because of cancer. At least not right now anyway. To be honest I was so wrapped up in what bullsh*t was going to happen next, that I didn’t have time to worry if I was actually going to kick the bucket or not. 🦵🏻🪣 There was always something new or about to happen next, that thoughts of anything other then trying to stay alive to be with my husband was all I could think about. 

Every test, procedure, surgery, consult, appointment, medication, bloodwork, and phone call has lead me to this point where I am now. Alive! 🤗 FU*K YEAH BRO! It is because of the amazing medical team, prayers/support of those around me, and willingness to keep looking forward is why I am here now, and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. 

I have lived with cancer

I have lived through cancer

I am living after cancer. 

I have lived through the storm, and are still continuing to learn how to dance in the rain. It can be done and I will do it!💪🏻

FU*K! Cancer.

    Happy Cancerversary !! It does sound weird to say but I completely agree with you.Having to go this is hard enough, never mind doing it during a pandemic. The support of those around us is a big help. I know it has been for me as well especially being single,with no kids or siblings. This being your Cancerversary, looks like we were diagnosed a few months apart? I found out about my diagnosis at the end of February 2020. Hope you have a good week.

Chapter 47: The Big Surgery......

Hey friends, Well, I feel like I can basically call you all family now, considering all that i've shared up until this point. Yet I know almost nothing about nearly all of you. But here we are, the grand finale, the big kahuna,  what all of this has lead up to until this point. To be completely honest with you, I am cheating a bit. Up until this point I have been writing these posts in chronological order. But seeing as ive just had surgery, and the amount of things that have happened, I certainly did not want to miss anything.  So Im sure as you can possibly guess, this is going to be a VERY long one, and well,  I'm sure you're right. So snuggle up with a teddy, a blanket, and super stiff drink. As i'm sure we all need it by this point, and if I could drink, rest assured I would have by now. Enjoy the continued shit show that is currently my life.👌 Let me start off by saying, I will try my best to not overlap information given a lot has been said up until this point. ...

  Hey all! Glad to be writing again, had to take some time to heal of corse. I really missed talking to all of you, not to mention, venting my feelings, and sharing my crazy experiences in the insane journey i'm going through right now. No need to worry though, this story is far from over. God forbid, I couldn't be let off that easy given what's happened until this point. FML😒 I'm trying my best to write this blog in chronological order so it makes sense. However, I couldn't help but write what happened during my big surgery I had recently.  Took me about 5 days to actually write it but its done. Trust me its a doozy, with pictures and everything. Well no, OF CORSE not of the actual surgery, thats just sharing a little too much even for me. Plus they wouldn't allow my phone in the actual O.R. so that also played in as a factor 😆 Its not actually posted yet though so no need to go looking for it. Again chronological order 😉, its too confusing otherwise, trust ...

Chapter 1: Welcome all!

Hey whoever you are, WELCOME! So I guess let me start by saying this is certainly fairly unorthodox for me, seeing as I've never "blogged" before. Not to mention it's not anything I ever imagined myself actually doing. I never thought of myself as the story "writer" type. As I'm sure as you can see based on my questionable grammar and spelling😏 But, for those who know me personally, I have been known to tell a good story or two in my day....well depending who who you ask, maybe a few too many. 😉 I'm sure your first question would be well....why are you doing this? To be  completely honest, I feel as though I have a real and personal story to share.  I have no idea who might ever read this, might be just myself as I type it, and if so, I'm ok with that.  This already feels therapeutic on some level, getting this far.  That being said, some of you may be familiar with part or most of my story.  For the rest of you, this story is certainl...
