Happy Holidays!
I’m happy to report that I wake up every day still feeling good. I’m very grateful for that. The Neratinib continues to work and its looking like I’m going to have a very Merry Christmas! Since 2015, I have always had to live in cancerland with new treatments, side effects and surgeries back to back. I’ve never been stable for this long, and I know i’m lucky to have this time. 2020 wasn’t an “ideal” time to feel good - I can’t travel, see friends, or shop in real stores- so I’ve taken this time to really think about my morals and values, and dig deep on the non-cancer part of my life. This process is twisty, painful, shocking, joyful - every time I learn something new about myself I yearn for more time to live out these new realizations.
Does that make sense?
Okay, I know most of my family and friends are just here for the photo dump - so, enjoy! My life has revolved around the dog park, picking the perfect (local) gifts to give and learning block stamping (thanks to my new book)!
(This wig is from when I FIRST was diagnosed. Got it washed and styled and kind of find the darker colour refreshing!)
Brigette & Ryan got back their wedding photos (📸: Amy Pinder Photography) and they are stunning. So happy to be by your side on your big day.
