The Cyclist: So far, this guy seems like what I’ve been looking for. He’s attentive, sending little texts throughout the day (some people don’t like that, but I love the little check-ins), MADE A...
RAD: The Cyclist

Stuff Don't Stick
Oh shoot. I started an entry yesterday and then had to close out. I thought that PB would save the draft. It used to! What happened? How are you lately? I’ve been really good! Kind of shocki...
Of Pot and Papaya
Y’all. I am the worst at being a pothead. I am scared of the vape pen and I don’t think I’m doing it correctly. I might try a tiny bit of a gummy tonight instead of the melatonin gummies I’ve b...
When Things Get a Little More Real
Yesterday I went in for Chemo Infusion #5. I did my pre-chemo morning routine - the regular workout at home, pack my ice bag (for the icing protocol during one of the chemo meds), take Martini t...
What a Weeeeeeek.
Happy Friday - what a freaking week. Work’s been sucky. And by sucky, I mean, everyone is in a tizzy. It’s a panic, y’all. When I tell you that it’s about to get really bad for consumer product...
#TMIFiles: Talking it Out
Ever since my brain injury in 2019 I have made it a point to call my parents every evening. At first it was because I was afraid I was going to have a stroke and die in my sleep those first few ...
Moving!
Hey. How was your weekend? In addition to a sweet Mother’s Day with mom and the whole family, mine was mostly “recovery” and it went as well as one could expect when you have not a whole lot pla...
#TMIFiles: Infusion #4
Hm. I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve written. I guess I don’t have too much to say but I’m feeling good-ish lately - I suppose as good as one can be while going through chemotherapy...
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...
