Counting UP!! I think yesterday was my 17th set of Faslodex shots. It’s hard to keep track sometimes. Last week, I had a major pain flare and I’ve been working hard to get back to my normal level of pain every since. To voluntarily walk into the Miami Cancer Institute yesterday to get shots that will make me achy and uncomfortable for the next few days along with intense hot flashes, required a rather enormous amount of something ... courage, stubbornness, resilience ... or maybe all of the three. I show up each month for more. Every month. I bring reminders with me, like the courage key a dear friend gifted me and the @metavivor bracelet. For as long as I can and as long as there are meds, I’ll keep showing up. #bcsm #bcam #metavivor #thisismbc #lbbc #healthunion #thoughtsofametastaticmom #researchnotribbons #stageivneedsmore #dontignorestageiv #everydayformbc #mbcdialogue (at Miami Cancer Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHAc0NMgIwK/?igshid=4fblt3erxfds
