Watch TV & Fight Blood Cancer At The Same Time
Today is the start of Blood Cancer Awareness Month and the kickoff of my #BingeWatchToEndBloodCancers Challenge! The $35 for my 35th birthday campaign was a huge success, and I could not have been more pleasantly surprised! Happy tears were definitely shed for the best birthday gifts a girl could ask…
1 Year Remission Anniversary
Today was supposed to be my CT scan, labs and Doctor’s visit as a part of my regular post-treatment monitoring. The plan was to get labs and a visit knocked out every 3 months, and also include a scan every 6 months for the two years following chemo. Because of…

My Relationship with Baldness
The hair loss aspect of this journey started from hour one and is probably one of the most talked about topics with my fellow warriors I’ve met. During my meeting with the doctors, when they told me exactly what cancer we were dealing with, we went over the treatment plan…
