ER NURSE, School Nurse, Wife,mom,sister,friend. Loves laughing! Fighting LUNG CANCER! Husband fighting Parkinson
True Blue 💙 Dog lover. CANCER SUCKS! 🌊
I'm 60 and have Stage 3 lung cancer. My 86 year old mother has non Hodgkins lymphoma and my 60 yr old husband has Parkinson. Today we all went and bought new sleds!! Life is short. HAVE FUN!
CANCER UPDATE
My CT scan showed progression to my left lung yesterday. Will repeat scan and biopsy in 6 weeks.
I am gutted. I was doing so well. The tears are flowing today.
2 1/2 weeks of wrapping the dog's medicine 💊 in everything from cheese to steak only to have her eat around it. This morning I dropped the pill on the floor, screamed NO and she ate the damn thing!
This is my new method!
One year ago today
My 1st chemo infusion. And 1 month later I lost all my hair. 2 months later my mom was diagnosed and started her chemo. What a crazy year its been
Big week for me. I will be at Penn for my 1year anniversary of lung cancer diagnosis. Scans,tests,infusions and deciding where to go from here. Accepting all positive vibes,prayers, thoughts, hugs and love. I'm terrified
Tomorrow 8am I have my repeat chest CT scan to check on new growth in left lung. Prayers, positive vibes, good juju accepted.
This is a new spot far away from my original tumor and I'm terrified 😨
Going to be off Twitter for at least a week while I deal with some really serious medical issues related to my cancer. Positive vibes,prayers,good juju much appreciated. ❤
Tomorrow is the big surgery to fix my broken jaw. A complication from my chemo and immunotherapy. Positive thoughts, good juju and prayers appreciated 🙏 ❤
My husband newly diagnosed with Parkinson called well known hospital for neurology appointment. March 6th! What the fuck is that? This is totally unacceptable 😤
5 month wait time for Parkinson meds.
Fuck that!
It's been a long summer for me. I've been stuck in the house due to my lung cancer...treatment, weather, smoke from Canada etc. Thankfully my boys were home from college. Today I spent the entire day at the pool with my sisters. It was WONDERFUL
Unfortunately my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson disease yesterday. We are gutted
Today he flies to Switzerland 🇨🇭 for a week for work. I may need some extra support from my friends ❤
Thanks to everyone who reached out regarding my husband's diagnosis. I can't respond to all but please know that I do see them and feel the love. Okay I did respond to
@MarkHamill
but who wouldn't? ❤🤣
Tough road ahead but we are both pretty tough.
I don't know how much time any of us have left...but I'm determined to make every day count. Today was such a wonderful day that I even tweeted out ugly pictures of the cancer ridden me. I celebrated life and wonder today. I hope I can continue
Well I've gone this far, might as well put it all out there. Tomorrow my husband is being tested to rule out Parkinsons vs ALS. And it's our 25th anniversary. And I have lung cancer and 2 college boys. I need a break
Hospital. Since yesterday 6-8 weeks of IV antibiotics for osteomyelitis of jaw related to dental implants and cancer treatment. Hopefully going home Saturday for treatment at home
Positive vibes please
UPDATE: Having my 1st cup of coffee ☕ in 3 days. With a straw,in a hospital bed. But omg is it good!
Jaw is fixed but very painful 😢. Today I may be able to get a shower!
Thanks for all the love and support ❤
So very sorry if I worried anyone with my absence. Cancer sucks and I was quite sick but determined to spend the summer with my boys before back to college.
I will be back with my craziness very soon. ❤
I thought I was okay waiting 6weeks for my CT scan for the new growth in my lung....but based on the fact that I haven't eaten, slept, laughed or exercised for the last week I reckon I'm not handling this so well
@thankscancer
Cancer sucks ! Woke up with a painful boil on inner thigh. Infections just come out of nowhere!
Appt at 3:30 for torture because the torture of the dentist yesterday wasn't enough!
FINALLY found an Emergency dentist about 1/2 hour away
Appointment at 11 am
Omg I can't wait...and I have never said THAT before!
Good vibes tweets. Thanks
Due to the passing of one of my best Cancer friends, I will be lighting candles, spending quality time with my family and not posting on Twitter. Life is short.
LIVE IT!!
My husband and I have been giving each other the same Valentine's card for 27 years. It started because I forgot one year and just crossed out his name and signed mine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Heading back to PENN tomorrow as this weekend has been HELL. Covered in rashes and every joint in my body hurts. Not due for immunotherapy until next week so this is either late side effects or another cancer effect. It sucks
Am I wearing pants?
My mom has cancer like me. She needed help so I grabbed some things and ran out. My neighbor was kind enough to tell me I was in my bra with yoga pants
He LIKES me!
Chemo brain is real folks
It was so very difficult to capture
@LibbyMbc
in words. Through all the darkness, she sparkled and she will forever be a source of light for us. Here is our tribute
Hubby arrives home after week in Switzerland...with a cold. I am on couch recovering from oral surgery and immunocompromised. We wave, hand off some meds then retreat to separate bedrooms and chat via cellphone. Who says romance is dead?!
My Face CT scan did not read as I expected. No "Beautiful high cheek bones, large gorgeous eye sockets, great round jaw line"
Just Osteomyelitis of mandible secondary to dental implant
Wait...I paid for that?
Ruuuuuuude!
Trying desperately to climb my way out of this depression. Harder than I thought.
I will be posting funny memes today to try to keep Laughing. Bear with me
Quick update...I need further surgery as my bottom jaw is broken or necrotic from recent dental implants along with my cancer immunotherapy. I will be checking in before the hospital surgery which is planned between Thanksgiving and Christmas
I have someone to clean the house, organize Thanksgiving, pick up one son from airport, do the Christmas shopping, decorating and wrapping. All while I am getting my antibiotics, chemo and doing Hubby's Parkinson appointments. Great friends ❤
Seeing ENT at 7:30 for continued mouth swelling. Hopefully he admits me and finds a reason for this! My oral surgeon is at a loss and 6 weeks in I am at my wits end!!
