But for real, I think I'm used to the trauma.

SWEET BABY JESUS, THANK YOU GOD! My tumor markers are DOWN!! My new drug Trodelvy is working on the cancer! Here’s to a long time working!!

I’m aliiiiiiiive!!! 😅🫣 and in slightly less pain for a good-ish little update

I also can’t stop sleeping and it’s starting to worry me.When will it stop?

I legitimately had this old guy come on here and tell me I don’t look sick enough for cancer so here’s my bare face since I do use the occasional filter because forgive me if I don’t want to look sick all the time. I honestly was wondering when someone would say something because it is very clear the difference in my health without a filter. I feel like you can just see the sick.

This pain is becoming too much. In one of my last updates I talked about how they were going to not radiate my leg. They want to wait for the infusion to work on it but when I put weight on it, it feels broken. It hurts to just get around the house and that’s almost impossible. Really hoping for some relief soon because this is on top of hard pain meds. 😔

What used to seem like battles or big life problems, I can take on like nothing. Because I've been through so much. Doesnt mean I want to, and l'd rather not have the resilience I think. Remember to appreciate life and remember what things not to spend your energy on! But also, kick butt when life comes for you.

Another update I found out after my video yesterday… genuinely shocked at my tumor markers. They measured 535 today. Which is astronomical and the highest my cancer has ever been in my life. I really hope this medicine works. And any of my fellow stage 4 breast cancer patients undergoing treatment, if you can get the Tempus test, I highly recommend! More info in video.

Trodelvy update as I’m getting my second dose..it wasn’t too bad overall..until I woke up this morning. Excruciating muscle and gain pain everywhere and could barely stand or walk. Getting fluids and my second infusion today.

Well, I’ve been in bed most the time since I got the infusion of my new medicine. I can gratefully say it’s been better than expected (for chemo and such). Just a lot of fatigue and weakness mostly. Hopefully this medicine works 🤞

“Cancer didn't just happen to my body.
It happened to my children too.
I see it in my 15-year-old son, who watches me closely and asks, "Are you okay?" every time | get sick or slow down, then quietly offers help with everyday things that were never his responsibility to carry.
I hear it in my 7-year-old's confusion when she asks why I still have so many doctor's appointments, because she thought my cancer was gone. She's waiting for the ending she was promised, and I don't know how to explain that some things don't wrap up neatly.
And I feel it in my 18-year-old twins, who avoid the subject altogether unless I bring it up, holding it in, keeping their distance from the words, each of them managing their fear in silence.
Cancer takes from children too.
It takes their sense of safety.
It takes their innocence.
It teaches them to watch instead of trust, to worry instead of assume.
As a parent, that weight is heavy. Knowing my illness has asked things of them they never should have had to give.
Knowing that even on the days I'm okay, they are still carrying the echo of what we've been through.
This is the part people don't talk about.
The quiet ways cancer lingers in a family.”

Wanting to beat this thing they tell me I can’t, but then why am I still alive? Why do I feel survivors guilt living longer than so many more in close to my shoes? Why will some live longer than me? So many feelings. Always. But hey, I’m up in bed after my first infusion and eating, so I can’t be much more grateful than that for my lack of side effects right now.
