Day 422 | Still kicking

Wanted to check in and let everyone know I’m doing okay.

I know that 90% of the readers will know I am okay because they are my friends, family, or acquaintances who have supported me in real life and on the interwebs.

But for 10% of readers, who are other stage 3s, other  TNBCers, looking for hope or support or medical updates, it’s helpful to know that other people have lived. Have thrived. Have moved past c*ncer.

Whenever I came across a blog (and ... especially on initial diagnosis, I read a lot), if there hadn’t been a recent check in, I’d always assume the worst.

Things are looking up for me. My hand / foot syndrome isn’t bad. I still get some little blisters on my feet. (Hot yoga this morning prolly didn’t help ;). Little cuts on my fingers. But, like I say about all temporary side effects - small potatoes if LIFE is on the table.

I go whole hours not thinking about the c*ncer now. I am working full time, mommying full time, and wifing in between. (Poor P gets whatever is left of me after those two things). We are traveling a lot. Weekend trips in the US. Fancy dinners. Laid back breakfasts. Family. Short international trips. Many grandparent visits. Trying to make the most out of every moment and not stress about making the most out of every moment. Trying to maintain normal and enjoy feeling normal. Looking less like a cancer patient helps.

Well, until next time. Yolo, or whatever the kids are saying
