First round of chemo is DONE! 👊🏽 My nurse brought me to my chair and the word JOY was posted right behind me (and all around). Y’all, my word of the year is JOY haha! 😍 Funny enough, JOY is the last name of my nurse! More proof that God is with me on this journey. 💛 Emotions still got a hold of me though, and that’s okay! I sat in the chair and IMMEDIATELY started crying LOL. My sweet nurse calmed me down, gave me snacks and a warm blanket and I got it together. 😊️ Here are a few things I did to pass the time (3.5 hours): 🌊 Put on a virtual reality headset and spent some time meditating on the beaches of Hawaii 👩🏽💻 Hopped on a mastermind call 💌 Checked emails & DMs 😜 Scrolled TikTok How I’m feeling now: Honestly, like crap LOL! I’m literally posting from my bed because some side effects have already hit (nausea, tired, overall ‘unwell’ feeling). Praying it’ll only last a few days. 1 down, 15 more rounds to go, y’all. Ready to crush it and ring that bell! 🔔 
Holding on to this truth! 🙌🏽 My “I beat cancer!” bucket list is a mile long and I can’t wait to start checking things off once I’m on the other side of this! 👊🏽 The pathology report showed that in addition to the 2 masses, a tiny bit of cancer (3mm) was found in the lymph node. The good news is that there was no sign that the cancer exited that lymph node and they removed that entire node. The surgeon said “the lymph node did it’s job” and the doctors removed all the cancer they could find. 🙏🏽 We are still waiting for more test results to come back in a few weeks to determine if anymore active treatment is necessary to reduce the risk of reoccurrence (radiation is likely happening, chemo is still up in the air strictly based on results) but I’m excited for a full life regardless of the outcome. 💛 Still praying for only good news from here on out (aka no chemo)! 🙏🏽 #breastcancerjourney 
It’s been 6 days since my double mastectomy and today I felt well enough to go on a (slow) 1-mile walk with the fam! The weather has been AMAZING and I refused to be cooped up in the house. 😂 Felt so good to be in nature, move my body, and spend quality time with Shaun and the boys! Breast cancer has definitely changed my perspective on life and I’m developing a greater appreciation for the little things (that ultimately mean the most). 💛 Still anxiously waiting for my doctor to call with the pathology report and praying that it comes back as CANCER FREE! 🙏🏽 Until then, you can find me resting, homeschooling, snuggling and binge-watching. 💕 
Back home resting! I’m laid up with plenty of uplifting books/devotionals to read (gifted by sweet friends) while I recover for a few weeks! In between reading, y’all just know I’m going to binge-watch something! 😂 Would love your Netflix & Amazon prime shows/movie recommendations! Feel free to drop them below. ⬇️😉
