IRS Red Flag...🚩To Be Continued...🚩

 
Correction:
*This was a podcast from Friday, when doing my taxes*
***
Never, ever, have I been flagged regarding questions about someone who clearly, claimed me as a Dependent/2023 tax season...
Without my knowledge.

To Understand Cancer...?🌤

 
Is to not understand it, at all.
There will be parts of your journey... that will be new.
Parts, that you have yet to experience, till now.
Facing each new day, with complete uncertainty.
The evolution... that comes with progression. 
The reality, that this is really it, when you lost control.
To Understand Cancer.
Is to not understand it, at all.
Day 3...
Severe opposite, of what my intestines usually do. The pain, signs were there ahead of this new part of progression.
Trying to keep things down is a feat. Keeping up on meds, then adding new medications, is ridiculously, almost impossible.
Remember to get outside for fresh air! Even if that means a few moments.
You are never going to know ALL the possibilities, that come with your specific cancer. You will only know, once you experience them.
Understanding, from oncology point of view... don't try to analyze it. Just do your best to get through the day. Far away, from the hospital emergency department.
New additions for ovarian cancer patients, at home musts to keep, just in case!
Imodium A-D, Pepto and Pedialyte Advanced Max. 
I'm not promising, it will keep you out of the hospital. But it will bide you some time.
Who controls the decision, hospice?
Your oncologists.
Rest in peace to Mr. Keith. No more struggling. When you remove titles... we are all in this together.
This unpredictable journey...
The unknown.
The not knowing.

What People Think Of You...🤔💡✔️ ...Doesn't Really Matter.

 
Having oncology take everything over, from here on out, has made a huge difference in my overall care.
Typical shepherd Snoreo, has been sleeping by my side when napping throughout the day. Waking me up even to catch my breath, when my bp has been dipping super low.
This is the reason, why you start treatment drugs like this 'after' you have someone staying with you. For me, the evenings. You put yourself first, and do what you must. I have those, who look out for me. In more ways, than one. Physical bodies and those who call in, check in on me. So now, my over all oncology care and other help to keep going, continues to slowly come together.
The holiday cards, were supposed to come down this weekend, but I decided to keep them up. 
Peace while sleeping, means creating an atmosphere, that also brings me peace.
My weight keeps slowly dropping. My appetite has pretty much been at zero. I'm ready mentally for the next steps with oncology.

Narcissists vs. Empaths 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣👤

 
Empaths are truth seekers. They tell it how it is. They wear their heart on their sleeve. They see the good in people, no matter, how bad the person.
Problem with being an Empath?
We forgive too much.
We place others before us, far too often.
We give, far less, than we take for ourselves.
And lastly...
We finally understand, at the end of our journey...
Who was real.
Who was fake.
Who was a fellow Empath.
And... 
Who were the Narcissists.

The Thing About Life...💡🧢🎬

 
I'm the kind of person, that appreciates the gifts, that come from the heart.
Gifts that aren't necessarily expensive... but that hold a special moment in time.
I've always been a hat collector. It started, by accident. A way to cover my hair, in the beginning of my oncology journey.
Throw on a hat... and out the door I went!
Seasonal hats are my absolute favorite! Each hat, has its own story in my life. A proper place, and point.
Tomorrow I am back at the hospital, out of state...
With a hat in tow!

Grief... Within Itself...🕯

 
The reality is that you will grieve forever.
You will not ‘get over’ the loss; you will learn to live with it.
You will heal, and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.
You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to.

Honoring Those Who Saved Your Life... And The Lives Of Many Others🫡🩺❤️‍🩹

 
He was actually, the very last surgeon, who took a few weeks to review my records. An extremely rare case, that other surgeons could not solve. Two weeks, to be precise. Studying several years worth of medical imaging and a lifetime worth of surgical reports.
He was the final and last of 17 surgeons, that saw me over the course of many months. Easily, over a year.
He solved my case.
Directing a group of oncology specialists, he saved my life, long enough to enjoy a year of being pain-free.
Long enough to travel and actually feel some normalcy for a change.
We knew oncology treatments were only a temporary fix, to far greater problems.
Seven years later... I got seven extra years of life, and for that I am forever grateful.
I never got the chance to thank Dr. J.
I never got the chance to come, face to face again, as he transferred his expertise back down south. Continuing to take his years, decades of training and surgical expertise. Saving the lives of so many others.
My case came full circle. But now, in the hands of his colleague. Those he trained. Helping to also save lives in the field of critical care, trauma surgery.

Living In The Moment
People with life-threatening illnesses want to live in the moment without worrying about the future.
