Chemo Day sporting my new summer wig!! Never thought Id like a short wig but i love it and so did everyone else. Thank you Carol Boyer💕

Reduced my trodelvy -an immunotherapy- to 60% today and will be taking a break from it until June 22nd-believe me my body needs it. My short term goal is to be able to get out of pain (arm, shoulder, neck area) and go back to Longboat Key for Rachael graduation trip-i dont want any side effects to mess w/our trip-it will be such a great relaxing getaway-you know how i love the beach, and we are Gulf front. Perfect time to reboot, renew and continue on my journey and spend some quality time with family celebrating Rachael Barge. Rick, Rachael, Lucas and I will be going 🏝️

Start radiation When we get back. A total of 10 treatments. Will do a PET scan before starting back up on the low dose chemo on June 22💕🙏

Have another herbal healing tonic I will be using for the next couple months🙏🤞more to come on this.

Starting cycle 2 of trodelvy today!! So far side effects havent been too bad, just some extreme fatigue for 4 - 5 days or so-cant Complain it
Could be a whole lot worse. If trodelvy continues to work we will more than likely lower the dose slightly after my next PET scan - which will be after my 4th cycle towards end of March.
For now prayers and healing vibes for trodelvy to kick this cancer out of my body!!

Thank you and i am So grateful for all of you!!

Wanted to update everyone-w/so many things going on I haven’t had much time
To update. So, my last
PET showedIncreased Bone metastasis,
In hip, left shoulder
And skull (had these before and they went away)🙏

With bone mets Comes bone pain. My
Left hip is really bad and i can barely walk, cant drive and its almost Impossible to get out of bed by myself.

So the plan is to do radiation to the hip which is supposed to be very effective for pain-they are trying to get me in this week🙏

THanks for all the love, prayers, food
