A “red-letter” day

Did you watch, Game of Thrones?

The episode; “The Red Wedding”

Shocking as hell!
And so poignant in the GOF
story line.

topic moving on

** Five years goes by quick

I was a bit dumbfounded, and I certainly was then.

My routine mammogram was shocking and shook me into the reality of a death sentence

This, is what late staged patients face.

Stage four - you will never be stage 5 or 6

4️⃣ is where you will always be.

Four is the final stage.

Cancer has now comprised your entire system.

And what you choose to do with this information is a personal choice

*conventional cancer treatment?

*moving on and not choosing a pharmaceutical intervention.

daily choices

But then isn't this fitting with what shows up in life?

What would you personally choose?

I always appreciate your love & support

Shari

I need a daily reminder

All experts start out as beginners,
but then we seem to forget
that when we start out
we are just beginners ourselves.

I'm sharing this with you because all that often; I hear people being hard on themselves.

and fallen into this hole as well.

We all do.

And we all have a chance to
learn, stretch, and grow.

look closer at your thoughts and actions

What are you learning today?

I am thankful for all that is

Enjoying the day

The sun peaking through the spring snowstorm

I love the sun

The warmth on my face

Thought I’d share. Just because

My favorite go to drink.

It’s called a refresher-

A mixture of #Fresca and grapefruit juice

low call and yummy

&

my Dexamethasone update

I’m still not 100%

and finally upped my dose to find my way.

I’m working on my occasional hunger from steroids.

Oh how I despise that.

Smiling through

How about you?

Give me your fun updates and weekend plans.

blessings headed your way,
Shari

“One Fine Day”

worth the watch
or rewatch

George & Michelle

Day 2 of my “Dex” increase

I’m doing well and am enjoying the day.

How about you?

A coat of paint and a fresh perspective my term

A coat of paint
and a fresh perspective

my term would be MIA

I’ve been distant
think of it as a forced step away.

a learning moment

When your brain swells... well all kinds of things go amok.

What happened?

One evening without warning

boom down I went and the right side of my body was gone.

It was numb and not responding

Earlier in January, I weened off the Dexamethasone and was no longer taking it .

My energy was very low. And during those winter months there was little to do but give my body the time to adjust.

An unscheduled MRI in March showed the swelling of the stubborn area of my brain was acting up. So back on the Dexamethasone I went.

Ooh I was pissed. Damnit

I adjusted my thought process

and moved on.

My balance and movement are still not 100%

I am taking 2mg of the Dexamethasone daily.

I would hope that if I upped the dose I would get 100% of the feeling back.

But I’ve chosen to compensate a little right now. I’m on my own schedule. I’ve got my reasoning

In early May, I’ll see my doctor and we plan to add the chemo Med that will pass the blood brain barrier.

And in the meantime—

I continue to work on small projects around my home that bring me joy.

Steve and I have completed our COVID vaccinations and we have a fun getaway planned for May.

We are headed to Massachusetts.

Our first time there.

We love getting off the beaten path. Finding the small and more unknown sighs and shops.

An antique, no matter how small is my favorite takeaway from this type of adventure.

Please make sure to share your favorite stops And don’t forget the food.

Thank you each for your constant love, patience, and understanding.

It takes a tribe to support us through the twists and turns of life.

Thank you for being mine.

Thanks Zig,
I needed that reminder.

“You cannot tailor make your situation in life, but you can tailor make your attitudes to fit those situations.” Zig Ziglar

I’m off of
steroid/Dexamethasone for the brain swelling as of January 4th.

I weaned off slowly.
It’s a process

And I felt “shitty” for a few weeks.

I even got a negative COVID-19 test,
just to make sure; because I was not feeling like myself.

And then suddenly without warning - surprise — I guess I turned the corner.

I’m crossing my fingers that the “dex” is finally out of my system.

My energy is much better and
my achy body improved.

Phew

I am noticing the swelling start to reduce.

I’m psyched

I am loving a double chin instead of a triple.

Cheers to life saving medical treatments
And their side effects.

I can always work on self love.
How about you?

Shari

We’ve got a lot of that white stuff
at our house.

A few blocks away — not so much.

I’ve had a bit of the crud on top of it.
Or perhaps the seasonal blahs?

I need spring.

A month will pass quickly and the seasons will change again. In Utah that usually means more snow.

Today I stopped by my favorite place to get a little “lift”

They never disappoint.

What is your favorite flower?

The 🌷 a tulip is mine

Happy Valentines Day

May we all love ❤️ as much as we always need to be loved.

A gigantic shout out to the boy who shows me his heart everyday.

Do you have special plans this weekend?

My energy has been low the last couple of weeks. Then yesterday I had a thought and remember this — my last blood draw showed my red & white counts were low. I picked up some iron to add to my daily regimen. I let you know when I get the “pep back in my step”.

In the meantime love yourself and all those near and far.
Shari

How often do you change your hair color?
I’ve only been wanting to play with the color while I wait for my hair to grow.
It has thinned out on top and it will take more time to thicken up.
#Cancer treatment just gives & gives until the end.

Enjoy your weekend Be grateful & joyful
