I call this post... Word Vomit

I literally just googled ...  "the act of getting things out of your head."  As if that is some type of thing.  Like a delete button you can press to eliminate some of the petty thoughts, worries, daily tasks, frustrations, negative energy. 

It's a really good thing that I don't have much of the above, but please don't get me wrong I am not Wonder Woman.  I feel like these things slowly creep into my mind the week leading up to my scan.  I start to notice every ache and pain.  My hip starts to bother me immensley.  I start to play head games like...


I am super tired... oh my god it's the cancer

I don't have energy.... crap it's the cancer

My hip hurts... dang the cancer has awoken

There is a spot on the back of my head that is bugging me... holy crap brain mets

Why do I have hiccups.... OMG I have liver mets.



Thankfully I am surrounded by the most amazing people on the planet.  My community of family and friends is un-heard of and for this I continue to thank God for.  Because all of those things rushing around in my head seem to disappear when my peeps show up.  I love each and every one of you. 

I cannot begin to imagine going through this without you.

My scans are Wednesday. 

I am scared.

I am trying not to be.

I hate this feeling of being out of control.

I don't want to switch meds.

I like these ones.

I want to be "normal" again

So as I am writing this.  I notice one thing.  All of my worries started with I

So:

We got this.

We love so much it hurts.

We live each day like it's our last.

We make memories.

We hug, laugh, kiss, dance.

We support us.

We look to the sky and call on our guardian angels to blanket us in peace.

We can do anything.


I hope everyone knows how much I adore and love each of you.
