Billioℕs of fun updates <3
☠ I realize that I already mentioned this in my last post, but I am just SO EXCITED about this: I FINALLY HAVE A START DATE FOR WHEN I BEGIN TREATMENT!!!!! Woohoooooooo!!! I begin chemo and radiation on Monday, October 16. I know it’s pretty strange that I’m this psyched about this, but honestly it just totally re-upped my enthusiasm for slaying my cancer and getting it the fuck out of my skull. Into it. Basically what will happen is I wear this creepy mask thing (i gotta take a picture of it and post it on here - truly some horror movie shit) and they strap it down onto a table so my head stays completely still and then this huge machine rotates around my head. It will take like 30-45 minutes per radiation session. It’s kinda fun bc I get to choose the music to listen to during this! So I’ll be recruiting some of u people to make me radiation playlists!!! Radiation will be M-F from 10.26.2017 - 11.24.2017. 6 weeks of cancer killin (: let’s get the fuck moving!
☠ SOOOOO That means I have from 11.25.2017 - 12.23.2017 off! Because I have a four week break between my 6 weeks of radiation/chemo stuff and my 6 cycles of chemotherapy. So let’s plan fun shit to do during that month!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
☠ Because I finally have a start date for treatment, I know the dates which I’ll be living down in Rochester (Minnesota, not New York, for everyone that for some weird reason thinks I would go to NY for cancer treatment lolol. The best hospital in the US is in MN ya sillies!!!!). After considering a bunch of different options, my parents decided to go the route of renting out an Air B&B for the duration of my radiation treatment. I’ll have a super cute little house with a couple bedrooms so I can have friends there. They don’t allow dogs unless the dog is a service dog .......
☠ ........SO my baby Mabes is now a certified little service puppy!! She will be in Rochester with me and I couldn’t be happier. My little love bug puppy girl. I’ll post a picture of her in her little vest hehe. Still waiting on the note from the doctor, but she’s legit! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
☠ My sister is here for the weekend again!!!!! And my brother is moving down from Duluth around the end of October. They’re my soul mates and I’m ecstatic that they get to be around me. ALSO Molly is telling her friends to hangout with me and they seem really really cool thus far -- and I’m reconnecting with people I haven’t been in touch with in a bit, so that’s cool. Makin’ friends, taking names and numbers. I love making buddies! I’m gonna need people to chill with sometimes!!!
☠ My Aunt Robin was the one to drive me down to the hospital this past Wednesday. We stayed in Rochester until thursday, bc I had another appointment. We bonded and talked and she pointed out some really cool stuff to me. My perspective is expanding and I love it! I love hearing what everyone has to say about dealing with all of this craziness. I disagree with Glass Animals - I say the more I know the better (I’m hilarious - I hope some of you get it lollllll).
☠ My wisdom teeth removal surgery went extremely well! They let me keep the teeth, hehe. I unfortunately have more cavities that need to be taken care of before treatment begins so I will be going to the dentist pretty soon to take care of that. Most boring update ever. I’m healing up real nicely. But we all knew I would bc I’m a fuckin champ hehe
I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH IT’S NOT EVEN REAL
