I’ve been waiting to use this hashtag until I got official word from the docs and the post-surgery pathology report... but I finally met with them yesterday two weeks after the procedure and now I can officially and faithfully say I’m IN REMISSION!

There’s no easy way to say it so I’ll just pull the bandaid. I have been diagnosed with cancer. Stage 3 colorectal cancer. But for those that know me, that just means the bell has rung and it’s time to fight.

Released from the hospital 3 days ahead of schedule! I think I set the tone when I insisted on walking 20 ft just 12 hours after surgery. Happy to be home and be reunited with my family, I feel like now every day is actually me getting BETTER. Thanks for all the love & support 🙏🏻

After 7 months radiation, infusions, and 6 chemo pills a day, this is the last 3 I’ll hopefully ever have to take. Next step let the body recover, follow up CT/MRI next week, and then most likely surgery sometime in late May or June. Long road ahead still but the fight continues.

Last time I was here was to scan my body to see what staging my cancer was. It was a scary time, I had no idea the fight ahead. Today after 7 months of a brutal war waged on the body its time for the follow up scans. But today I’m filled with more hope than despair.

Happy to report my scans came back ALL CLEAR! Still a ways to go but so far so good! Another year of clear scans will be the 1st big milestone. Then 3 years after that to be considered “cured”, so the battle wages on but we’re winning! Thanks to everyone’s support

Heading toward the final boss battle. But it won’t be pretty. Hearing the details of my major surgery, the long recovery & what it entails has given me great anxiety. But I will keep hanging onto the fact that we almost have this thing beat. Surgery date is for early/mid June.

Enjoying the last few days of feeling normal (I get about 5 of these days a month) before I go back to chemo treatment on Monday. The anxiety of what’s to come is unbearable sometimes. But doing the best I can.

Lost my aunt Nannette this week to Covid - my uncle is sick too and may have it, but he at least got to say goodbye. Hug your loved ones. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, I’ve learned that lesson myself the past few months. Wear a mask. Get checked. Let go of hate. Embrace love.

Before & after- the very thing that is saving my life is also poisoning my body. Chemo destroys ALL cells. Healthy cells grow back but cancer cells are unable to. It’s burning down the entire house (that can be rebuilt) to kill the demons and spiders (that cannot come back).

Radiation/chemo was brutal at times, yet my oncologist said it was only pre-season. The real work begins tomorrow and on the eve of my first iv Oxipilatin infusion, I feel a great amount of fear, but I’ll keep my head down and push forward. There’s no other choice.

Chemo has lasting effects. Some permanent, others fixable. About to head into the first of four procedures to fix the hidden damage it caused to my teeth and gums. Scars never go away but neither does my resolve! 💪🏻 Kira is my backup so we’re in good shape!

Just woke up from my weekly ‘you still have cancer’ nightmare. The mental aspect of recovery takes its toll. Was it just a dream? Was it a vision of things to come? The mind can be cruel. I can only shake it off, continue to live my 2nd lease on life. Don’t take life for granted.

What’s worse? Getting a colonoscopy which is painless, takes 45 min & gives you peace of mind? Or having to hop into this bad boy Monday through Friday for weeks on end, literally shooting radiation into your body & sucks your energy out like a vampire?

So just got off the phone with my surgeon, she wanted to reiterate that things are looking VERY promising…which is huge because usually she’s a little more hesitant to be positive - still more time to go but there are “no concerns anymore” - which is a huge WIN!

Exactly a year ago I had life changing surgery… it was the first step to a long road of recovery but the end result was complete REMISSION of my cancer! 7 days I was in this room & many months after suffered many setbacks but a year later I’ve never felt better.

Due to neuropathy caused by chemo, my feet go numb about 2 min into any run. Since I’ve started training, 2 faceplants & one rolled ankle later, I dust myself off every time... “Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must. Just never give up.“ The fight continues...

My PTSD is real. MANY things trigger me to my worst days on chemo/radiation/surgery. My body is on the mend (80%) my mind has a ways to go. I am thankful that after 8 months, today I return to work, a welcome distraction from these difficult thoughts, going back to what I love 🙏🏻

Post-Remission check up

- there will be 20 scans/checkups in the next 5 years (every 3 months) to make sure the cancer has remained gone. I need to go a perfect 20-0 to get the magic words “you’re cured”. The long, nervous, but hopefully successful march to “cured” begins now.
