1st Scan Results

Written July 12, 2022

This was taken 12/21/21 – the day I was diagnosed with cancer – Nicholas took me out to breakfast

The smile is not fake – I really love peppermint mochas

Today, 7 months later, I am cancer free

I wanted to point out, however, how many negative emotions I have today – how I’m frustrated with the amount of pain I’m in & want to talk to my Doctors about continued physical & speech therapy & don’t love the way I look & am generally just down about where cancer has left me

My goal today is going to be to focus on what’s right in front of me though – negative scan results – just like the day I was diagnosed I was able to focus on the peppermint mocha

I hope this reaches someone who needs to know they’re not alone in their mixed emotions & I hope you give yourself some grace for tackling some tough stuff
