Monday 2/14/22

A day in the life of… well… MY life these days.

I refuse to define myself because of a cancer diagnosis. I’m a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I’m many things but I am NOT cancer.

What was supposed to be a routine checkup with my lady parts doctor quickly turned into the beginning of a long journey I was not prepared for, none of us were prepared for.

– mammogram
– biopsy
– MRI
– mastectomy of the right breast
– port placement

& today was the bone & CT scan.

My weeks have turned into nothing but appointments after appointments. Info on top of more info. More people have seen my boobs in the past 2 months than have my whole entire life!

I’m still trying to cope with being down a nipple only to be told my hair will start falling out as soon as 2 weeks after chemo starts… first chemo treatment is in 2 days!!!

I share all of this to say… enjoy ALL the moments of your life (BIG & small!). Do the things that bring you the most joy. Tmro is not promised, neither is both nipples or your hair apparently.
