I probably have cancer. I may be dying, well faster than planned. Those two sentences are jam packed with tears, laughter, tough decisions and so much more. This is my experience with those two sentences.
Welcome back. Today was my first CT scan since my cancer surgery and the one year anniversary of my mom's death. What a day!
Today was my last appointment with my fantastic speech therapist; progress takes some time but I am doing well with it. Also, thoughts as I am now two weeks out from my first scans.
Today is my mom's birthday; the first one since she passed away. This might be the first time I've cried on the series.
Hello everyone. Well yesterday was the 2 month anniversary of my surgery and today marks the 4th speech therapy session. I wasn't sure where this podcast would go but apparently I've more deaths to encounter.
Pathology is back on my lymph nodes. I'm a bit worried about my speech. My dog of 10+ years is leaving this world tomorrow.
It's a short episode but recorded with my own voice. Today marks 2 months since my first doctor's appointment; time has flown by and yet so much has happened.
My friend has graciously accepted my request to read this week's episode as I am unable because of surgery. It's a short episode but .out likely because I had to write it out. Thank you for all of your support and I hope this has been support for some of you as well.
I have been left speechless so many times in the past week by the immense support given me by my community. I wish that everyone had this much. My tears have all been because I feel so much love and support.
We have a surgery date. The cats out of the bag...well it's shredding the bag is more like it.
Today I had the CT scan and the biopsy. Also, I told my dad and sister. I am grateful for the support I'm getting and my sister's resourcefulness and drive.
Well, tomorrow's the CT scan and biopsy. I had a few thoughts and updates to share before that happens.
The tables are turned and I am asked to be the confidant for someone with a similar situation...still keeping mine secret. Googled costs and this shit will NOT be affordable.
A friend joins me to discuss their experience when I told them that I have cancer. Also, I dive into the past with my mom's recent death and have some thoughts on learning lessons.
Update on the appointments. When will I be ready and willing to talk openly about this.
Today's diary-esque recordings. I met the specialist today. He was nice. Obviously money will be a challenge. Also, do we live too long? Reasons for telling and not telling friends and family. Wanderings of thought.
