Hearing that word “relapse” is a sucker punch to the gut. It feels like a broken promise, the “promise” that we thought was afforded to us after the previous go around with our cancer, and all of the treatment, tests, doc appointments. I am currently in treatment for a relapse of my blood cancer, one that I know is incurable, but it still was a shock to be told it is rearing its ugly head again. My PET Scan lit up like a Christmas tree this time, 16+ places all over my body. The 4 weeks of initial treatment in November shrunk but did not totally eradicate the cancer. I am now on maintenance to keep it at bay, the hope is that I will eventually be in total remission again. While my 2 sons are grown, I have 6 sweet grandkids that need their grandma, I continue my fight for them and all who love me.
It is absolutely a sucker punch. I love your warrior spirit and it’s such a good example for the sweet grands. They are a beautiful reason to never give up and keep the faith. You’re in my thoughts.
Inspiring words. Your determination is admirable. And yes, I really DO wanna be you when I grow up! 💕
Thank you for sharing, for your vulnerability, for taking this thing by the horns and giving it your best shot. ❤️
Thank you for saying this. I will continue to give it everything I’ve got. 💪🏼
