Just got home from the long morning of venturing to West Chester (a bit closer than Philly) to meet with the surgeon for my follow-up/postoperative appointment. The TL;DR version is I’m great! 🤣 but from his perspective everything looks good and it’s up to my oncologist to determine next steps. I’m feeling pretty good, considering... Continue Reading →
As Time Goes On…
… I realize more and more how important my bed is! Don’t get me wrong, this chair has served me well over the last week, actually allowing me some sleep each night.

1,000 and… Counting?
I learned a small fact today from my good friend Samantha... apparently today marks 1,001 days since my diagnosis. I knew January 16th will be three years but I never though to track the days... and now I'm wondering if I should. It feels like reaching 1,000 of something calls for some sort of celebration,...
