Red Velvet #3

It’s been awhile ….and, it’s time for an update. My energy levels have been low and some days just showering is using up what I have. As I wake this morning realizing I slept in my clothes. I can’t help but wish this was over, and I would feel more like myself.

I had treatment 3 of the red velvet on Thursday May 16 and although it sucks, I’ve been marginally better in comparison to treatment 2. One more to go, I can do anything super shitty one more time. At least that’s what I’m telling myself!

Kylee took me to treatment 3. As much as I wish she never had to see inside the cancer clinic, I also think everyone ought to experience it incase they ever need to go with someone they care about or for themself. It’s a traumatizing place to be. Kylee is a champ. I’m so blessed to get to be her mom! After treatment we went to Sam’s for a sandwich. I love sharing time with her and miss the energy I used to have to do fun things together. I can’t wait until this is over and we can get back to the things we love, like girls days and fun times!

Mikey got the yard summer ready , and it looks great! He’s washed all the outdoor furniture and pillows and the pool is open and clear. Kyran and Kylee set up lots of extra umbrellas so I can be outside without sun. I have to be really careful with the sun because of being photosensitive but, summer is my favourite. My raft should be able to get tied on to one of the umbrella stands so I can still feel the summer vibes. All the patio plants are done and the backyard feels like a relaxing oasis. Minus the barking Kalvin. He just can’t help himself. He wants every dog, baby and person who walks by to be his friend.

I met with the surgeon yesterday and am scheduled for surgery June 26th. I feel at peace with the decision to do a lumpectomy since I’ve been told I have no hormonal or genetic markers which contributed to this.

One foot in front of the other! I love you friends xox
