The life of a Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer survivor ⭐
Hey everyone! Day 2 hasn't been so bad, I'm feeling much better now and that's a huge benefit. I was so sick I couldn't do anything, so not blowing my nose and coughing every 5 seconds feels amazing. You always take for granted how good it is to not be sick until you get sick.... Continue Reading →
Today I woke up feeling pretty good! I wake up and take my pill medications then did a blood draw. My labs are looking fantastic so far and no infection anywhere! Today was a very productive day. Gavin had come up with some goodies! Thank you so much, I bought all the Dr Peppers in... Continue Reading →
Well has this journey been one hell of a ride! 2022 has been the best year so far! I'm fully able again to do the things I wanted to so bad during cancer. I can freely walk, run & play with my toddler with ease. No pain. I've got to go to so many new... Continue Reading →

A silver lining is a sign of hope or a positive aspect in an otherwise negative situation. The time has finally come, well the last few months have been absolutely amazing compared to the last year that I've had. I used to use this blog as a way to talk about cancer and the shit I...

So when you think about cancer, everyone tells you about all the scary stuff. Doctors instill fear inside of you. Even though you are already scared, they don't make it much easier. I had an 11cm mass growing in my chest that was causing me an unbearable amount of pain. So in my best interest... Continue Reading →
Well, I'm back to myself just about all the way. And I say that with pride and confidence. I've had a fucking crazy few months but I'm here for the ride I guess. I'll list a few things that's happened, lost a close friend, got off all serious medications I needed to all on my... Continue Reading →
Wow, It sure has been some time since I've made an update about my life and what all has been happening. But I've been busy being a mom and to see how many months have passed already is insane. March?! Thats the last time I made a blog update. What is wrong with me?! Leave... Continue Reading →
Well today I feel like I've been hit by a bus. What they don't tell you about cancer is what recovery from chemo might be like. For me it's been a new battle. I'm trying to be the best mom I can be, yet being that mom is SO hard while I feel like utter... Continue Reading →
Well for one thing I am feeling much better! Last time I blogged I was in the hospital with what ended up being a pulled muscle in my chest. Life is starting to resume. I have been able to meet my walking goals lately and I'm in less pain each day! It's nice seeing improvement... Continue Reading →
So day 3 at the hospital and now they are saying it is not pneumonia since I haven't had any fevers or any other symptoms. They do believe I pulled a couple muscles in my chest since I am still having trouble breathing. Then the fluid in my lungs is such a small amount that... Continue Reading →
Well, it's been quite some time since I've updated my blog but it has been a long few weeks. It took a few weeks to start feeling better and I'm still struggling. I hate how long it's taking me to get back to my normal health. I started feeling much better after my last chemo,... Continue Reading →
