Herd Immunity
I’m at the office today and had two major meetings that lasted long enough and I feel like I’m just done for the day. It’s actually approaching quitting time, so I’m just going to journal until t...
#TMIFiles: The Socials
Glorious Off-Week Wednesday! I have a whole week until my next chemo infusion and I couldn’t be more happy. It’s the in-between weeks that give me life and then during the infusion week I know ...
More #TMIFiles and Such.
Hey. Hi. How you doing? I guess we last met here on my DISCO day, which was last Friday. I’m sick of talking to you about cancer and chemo bullshit, but it’s kind of what I’ve got right now, so...
DISCO DAY Playlist
Guess what today is? It’s DISCO DAY! It’s the day when I get Foxy (my portable chemo pump) disconnected from my chest port after 48 hours of infusing me with chemotherapy drugggggsss. Ugh. I a...
#TMIFiles: The Return of Foxy (Chemo Talk)
Hello!! Yesterday was chemo infusion #3 of 12. It went well. In fact, so much better than I was worrying about earlier in the day. Prepping for chemo with the icing protocol and making sure I h...
#TMIfiles: Prepping, Primping, Pooping (or not)
Well, hello there! Here it is, another new week. Happy Monday. TMI ahead… It’s Infusion Week for me! Whee. This will be #3 - which means I’ll be 25% done with this treatment when the week i...
The Hangover
The days after chemotherapy are kind of weird. It feels like a bad hangover, but without all of the pre-hangover joys of being drunk the night before. I sit here at my desk at work, nauseated and...
So Much - Including LOTS of Cancer Talk
So much to report since I last wrote! This is going to be all over the place, so please bear with me. I don’t know how else to write all this out without bullets because it’s a LOT. Remember t...
Ten Things
Feeling good today. I still woke up with the slight morning sickness feeling, but the nausea meds do a pretty good job of keeping that at bay and feeling decent. A light workout gets the blood ...
And How Was the DISCO?
Haven’t written since Friday, obviously. Haven’t really felt like writing. It wasn’t because I was feeling terrible, per se. I think I feel like writing more when I’m sitting at a desk and hav...
My First DISCO DAY!
Ya know, if we’re gonna have firsts in this fight, we’re gonna make them sound EXCITING! Today is disconnect day, or DISCO DAY, as I’ve seen a blogger call it. It’s the day I get Foxy, my 48-hou...
Operation Mass in the Ass: Chemo #1
Yes, the Mass is OUT, but this is now the fight to keep that jackass from returning anywhere in my bod. I thought about writing an entry yesterday while sitting in the chemo chair for hours, but...
Delta Upd8
It’s been almost a week since I’ve last written and SO much and I guess so little has happened since then. Mediport placement: On Wednesday, I had surgery to have a mediport placed under the ski...
Panic Setting In
I’m at the office and feeling the stress of everything on Monday morning. Well, first of all, I overslept because of the time change. I NEVER let myself do that so I was already on a race again...
Not-So-Sunny Sunday
It’s going to be cloudy today, but I’m relieved that it’s likely not going to be the stormy day they said it would be. I will eventually get out of this bed and get walking with Martini pup. Yes...
Bombarded
There are SO many resources for cancer. Like, so many things that my head is spinning. I just got off the phone a little while ago with a nurse patient advocate (I think that’s what she called h...
At the Office
Second day back at the office and so far so good. I worked a full day yesterday, not even realizing that it was ONLY literally two weeks ago since my surgery. Doesn’t it feel like it was months...
He Calls Me Champ
I haven’t been writing, and you probably know what that means. Yes, there’s been too much for me to process lately and I’m scared and confused and don’t have a lot of answers to questions. Where ...
No Strings Attached!
First and foremost, no more strings have been found dangling out of my ass since my last entry, so I wanted to make that abundantly clear. Secondly, hello, March?! What a thing. February was qu...
"Minimally Invasive"
Don’t believe the hype. When they tell you something is “minimally invasive” and it has to do with taking out a huge chunk of your body, trust me. It’s MAXIMALLY invasive. I almost can’t believe...
The Removal of MIA
Well, the Mass in the Ass is OUT of my body, but where do I even begin to tell the story of how this fucker finally came out? When I tell you that this was the most traumatic experience of my lif...
Twas the Night Before...
…surgery and all through the house… It’s quiet now. Mom and Dad left on Friday afternoon because the snow and ice had started melting and the roads seemed okay and I think they were feeling re...
Dallaska
I am sooooooo glad I stocked up on food and bev before I left for the pre-hospital hotel stay because there are literally NO groceries, restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores or anything e...
I'm a Living Rolling Blackout
The thing about life is that you can make the most elaborate plans, get every single detail worked out in your mind and on paper, pull off what you think are miracles in the way of having everyth...
The V.
Gmorning. Happy Valentine’s Day. This one will go down in history as the absolute most bizarre V. Day of all time. I’m waking up in a hotel room with my parents, There’s a blizzard outside (well,...
