Its been since March since I was allowed to have someone join me at the hospital for treatment. Today I was FINALLY allowed a +1 to sit with me! There’s a new normal in the hospital these days but grateful for this small step!! Update: This is my second round of my new chemo treatment. Side effects have been mild so far. After one week of treatment, being on oxygen and a steroid, amongst other things, I feel like a new person. On Monday, I saw my Lung Dr and did a walking test without oxygen. She was so impressed with my speedy recovery. 🌟 Patient! Now I can walk freely at home without constant oxygen on. I just need it when I sleep and have my new portable friend Oscar for when I walk. My cough has subsided A LOT, and I can talk without wheezing or having to catch my breath in between words. Recently got a finger oxygen reader to make sure I’m staying above 90%. So far, so good! 💪🏼🌸

Fucking cancer. There are days when I’m grateful for all it’s taught me but FUCK cancer man. It’s all I can think to say right now. Not a profound choice of words nor insightful. Just fuck cancer. - I got the results from my lungs biopsy yesterday, and it was officially confirmed my cancer did spread to my lungs. Also, with the severity of the tumor in my right breast, cancer spreading to my skin, and my over large lymph node, my oncologist decided it would be best for me to get back to my original chemo I started with over a year and a half ago. I’ll be doing weekly treatments of Taxol along with my gene targeted therapy so they can monitor closely and give me a manageable dose. With that comes the side effects—the hair loss, the mouth sores, and so on.... again. - While this wasn’t the news or treatment plan I wanted, and I’m very much in a fuck cancer mode, I can’t wait to fricken breath without oxygen again. This past week cancer has kept me on my toes, but I’ve remained hopeful for the better of the outcomes from my biopsy and tests. I’ve prayed, been showered with prayers, love, hope, and support. But since being diagnosed, I’ve learned sometimes He just has other plans, I’m not in charge, and I just have to go with it. It doesn’t seem fair at times, recently a lot of the times, but again there’s still an ounce of gratitude that shows up within me where I remind myself new treatment is in the direction of healing. - My family beach vacation is in 7 weeks, and I am PRAYING to be there, no oxygen tank, and able to take in big breaths of saltwater air. And just a heads up cancer, I’m not taking no for an answer. So just get on board, would ya. K thanks.

Truly honored & so grateful to be @themurnburn first guests on her new podcast Inner Mission. Thank you for creating the space by choosing love over fear and just doing the thing to start this podcast and share your story. You inspire so many, and this is just the start. - As you may know, I’ve been dealing with a lot lately. I recorded this podcast the day I had a CT, and my doctor confirmed my cancer may have spread to my lungs. I could not believe I was able to get through an hour of talking, but it was so inspiring talking with Murn, it felt like my pain had disappeared, and I could have talked for hours. - Reliving some things from when I was first diagnosed and talking about what I’ve learned still brings up a lot of emotion in me. Again, I genuinely hope that sharing it helps others open up and share their stories because having a community and support makes a world of difference. I didn’t want to tell anyone I was at the hospital this past week or even that I was diagnosed with cancer, but when I finally did, the love, prayers, and SUPPORT poured in and brought so much love, light, and purpose into my life. Sometimes you just have to choose love over fear and do the thing that scares you most, because on the other side of fear is freedom, so much freedom, and peace. If you’re questioning if you can conquer that fear or start that business or podcast, remember YES YOU CAN YOU! I hope this podcasts inspire others to LIVE! - Thank you again, @themurnburn for having me! Check out the link in my Instagram bio or search Inner Mission on Spotify to listen! Give her podcast a follow! 🌸💕

My newest accessories; it’s Dior’s summer collection. Update: I was able to get a short walk in today with mild coughing. Crazy to think I used to run fitness tests and up & down soccer fields, glory days is what they call those, right? haha Yesterday morning I finished my Bronchoscopy. Probably one of the worst cancer things I’ve had to do. Having your throat numbed while still coughing up mucus is what I imagine drowning to be like. Luckily I had some great doctors who didn’t drown me, and they got what they needed. I’ll be spending at least another night in the hospital while I wait for my cultures to come back so they can give me the proper medicine. In the meantime, I’ve been on oxygen and doing breathing treatments for temporary relief. Also, because I was feeling ambitious yesterday, I did my targeted brain radiation for two baby lesions they found in my last MRI. I had to lay flat for the first time in over a month for 15 minutes straight without coughing or moving. It was something! Needless to say, I slept like a baby yesterday. Praying, I’ll be out of here by Monday to enjoy some sunshine with my family by the pool, and my new accessory will be going home with me.

Breath. One of the core pillars of yoga and life. Something that usually happens without effort or thought. A way to rid your body of stale and stagnant energy on your exhale, creating space for something new on the inhale. Breath carries the prana throughout our body, life. After over six weeks of having troubles with my lungs and two negative COVID tests later, my lungs finally had enough, and I woke up yesterday and wasn’t able to catch my breath. After a CT scan the day before showing significant progression in my lungs since my last CT in April, my mom called the ambulance, and I was taken to the hospital safely and with a breathing mask. I was transferred to a different hospital close by shortly after to meet with a lung specialist today who will be doing a Bronchoscopy in the morning to determine if this is an infection or progression of cancer. At first, I had to laugh. Amid a respiratory virus pandemic and my cancer or whatever this is was like “hold my drink.” But man do I miss the ease of my breath, the grounding it used to give me. Even when my cancer caused fatigue, and I couldn’t physically practice, I could always breathe along and be apart of the practice. Breathing is now something that causes me pain, keeps me up at night, and something so simple I will never take for granted again. I now dream of the day where I can walk outside and take a deep inhale of fresh saltwater air, hold it and exhale without a cough or wheeze. Luckily that isn’t far out of sight. Soon enough, I’ll have answers and be able to figure out a new course of treatment and be better than new. I appreciate any prayers for healing and no cancer progression!
