One year later
Content warning: suicide, cancer. This week is the year anniversary of my last hysteroscopy follow up, when we already knew the results weren’t positive so thankfully we were prepared and we made the decision for me to get a hysterectomy. I have my 1 year post-cancer follow up next week (a month early but that’s…

Cancer Update
Since my post in April I’ve had my 6 month check up following my hysterectomy. Everything is super duper and I’m doing great post op. The oncologist on my case did mention the possibility of getting tested for Lynch Syndrome, probably due to the ineffectiveness of the hormone treatment. I have yet to make the…

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans
Life has been happening lately. So much so that I zoomed past my 3 month post-op milestone and didn’t notice until after it had happened that it’d been that long! I’m still doing awesome, no problems and nothing new to report on that front! We went to Palma last month. It. Was. Amazing. We had…

Cancer has taken my fear away
At work I write a lot about the importance of protection, you never know what will happen, everyone can get cancer, etc, etc. But still you are always shocked when it happens to you, no matter how much you know it can. 2017 started off good enough, I had goals and I thought I knew…

Welcome 2018! (Also, 9 weeks post op!)
I think I can safely say all my goals for 2017 went straight out the window the moment I was diagnosed with cancer. That I finished the year cancer free and feeling better than I have in years is more than a great ending to a really crappy year. So what do I want to…

4 weeks post op already!
My lack of activity over the last month made it seem like it has dragged on but in reality I’m already two thirds of the way through my 6 weeks of recovery! My follow up appointment is this week so I’m hoping for good news on the cancer front and also good news on when…

Thankful
Whilst I no longer do the whole turkey and all the trimmings for Thanksgiving, much to Hubby’s displeasure, I do still give thanks for what I have and this year is no exception. I am thankful for a whole lot this year: Hubby – I’m always thankful for him but this year even more. We…

Childless not by choice – How can you help someone?
Throughout the last year we’ve kept up hope that we’d get past my cancer and be able to move on to fertility treatments. Obviously this was not the case and I am now recovering from my hysterectomy and dealing with not just recovery from a major surgery but also the emotions and grief that…
