Last night, I wasn’t able to sleep much. I can’t stop thinking about how this is the last day I am going to feel 100%. After today, I am going to need medication/treatment for the rest of my life to live. I’ve been waiting for over a month to start this battle, and now that it is beginning, it is hard for me to wrap my head around.
But to put things in to perspective, my Mom said, “think about all those people with heart conditions” and other illnesses that also need medications to live. I am no different. My take away focuses on the last word - live. I am going to live.
So while today isn’t easy, and I don’t feel my best, I know this will pass. Tomorrow, the boxing gloves go on and the fight begins.
Lisa Glaz DeHaven Your mom is one smart lady who raised an equally smart and strong daughter!

Lora Smith Your a strong woman. You will have the strength to fight this. God is right there with you. Sending prayers, hugs and strength. Keep fighting!
Becky Faith Brittany I totally understand your trepidation about what tomorrow holds. I remember walking up to the pharmacy window to pick up my pre-chemo meds and the pharmacist must have seen me coming from a mile away. He could clearly sense the fear/uncertainty in my face, and likely knew the drug combo I was picking up and what it was for. I’ll never forget what he told me. He said that the drugs today aren’t the same as the ones 20-30 years ago, and I shouldn’t have to feel miserable going through it all. He said if I was having really unmanageable side effects that I needed to communicate it to my doctor, and they could get me some Rx or other things to cope with those. Basically he said not to suffer in silence thinking it was par for the course, which I probably may have. Thanks to him I actively sought out advice to cope with side effects I was dealing with, from my doctors and also other survivors. He really was an angel here on earth! Anyway, I share all of this to hopefully offer some encouragement. 💗 There will be hard days and tough side effects, but you’re not alone and definitely reach out to your community of support when needed to help you through!
Danielle Bachuk And you have a million people in your corner lady, we love and are praying hard for you! 💗

Flexibility, gratitude and love will uplift you. We're all behind you and when it feels impossible, let us help carry the load in any way we can 💕
