FCKuCANCER.

hey y’all. it’s been absolutely forever since i last posted…

here is what i haven’t posted.

bootwalk 2024 was amazing. thank you to everyone who donated. with your donations i was in the top 100 donors again! i bested my prior year totals and was number 25, which is pretty damned amazing. i’ve been absolutely terrible about sending thankyous but my goal is to get them all out soon. pics from the top 100 fundraiser celebration are below. momma was my date this year and we had a really great time.

now, let’s talk cancer…

turns out i’m a bit of a rare breed for an mbc patient (at least in my support group) in that i never stopped getting annual mammograms. and for me, the decision to continue getting them is proving to be a good one.

my most recent mammogram showed two new tumors. same breast as the original diagnosis. I had a biopsy done, the results came in yesterday and confirmed a new type of cancer.

so, i offically now have two primary (don’t hold me to that terminology.) breast cancers:

1. estrogen & progesterone positive. her2 negative. lymph & bone metastasis. aka metastatic (stage iv) breast cancer.
2. estrogen, progesterone negative & her2 positive. aka the new one. aka i don’t have all the answers sway.

i will find out today what my suggested treatment plan options are…but i also i didn’t want too much time to pass before i gave you guys an update.

obviously, this isn’t the news we hoped for, but we gotta play the cards we are dealt.

my village is tremendous and i know finding out this way this sucks but it is impossible for me to call everyone to deliver this news. please don’t take it personal. i have only made it this far because of all the prayer you guys continue to send up for me.

how am i doing? well, it’s fucked up and i’m still processing. my five year cancerversary is two months away and this is a devastating blow. i had just started allowing myself to get some level of comfortability with my new normal and now i’m back on the texas cyclone.

so yeah pimpin’ ain’t easy and neither is cancer but somebody’s gotta do it. buckle up, y’all.
