Six months out of chemo today. It’s crazy to think I’ve been finished with it longer than I was actually in active treatment. Triple negative breast cancer is scary because once you’re finished, that’s it. I feel like it’s a double edged sword. Don’t get me wrong - I am beyond thankful to be free of cancer and doing so well, but sometimes the lack of treatment, the void where doctors appointments landed, and the feeling of not being “checked in on” is very very terrifying. ⁣Some days it’s like free falling without a net. ⁣ Sometimes I wish there was something I could do medically to prevent recurrence (beyond lifestyle, food choices and a positive attitude). For now, I’ll choose to count my blessings, continue to advocate awareness, and help every single person going through this that I can. ⁣ ⁣ My cancer journey will never be over, but I will live for today and make the best of it! ☀️

Happy birthday to this guy. The best dad and hubby around. This is our year, babe! ❤️

Just a reminder to anyone who might need it. B•R•E•A•T•H•E ⁣ ⁣ Today is just one day, and you’re doing a great job. 💫⁣ ⁣ Brilliant sweatshirt courtesy of EVERYKIND and wow, I need a new pair of chucks. 😬

Even though he probably wouldn’t approve... 😂 we did it anyway. Love you dad, always and forever ❤️🦅

Today as we were out and about I saw 7 hawks. ⁣ ⁣ Number seven is one of those figures. It symbolizes every positive and valuable matter in existence like a prosperous life, happiness, renewal, and perfection. ⁣ ⁣ Since the day you left us one year ago, I’ve seen birds of prey almost every single day and each time I think of you. 🦅 Today it was 7 times. The most ever. I miss you, I love you, and I know you are helping orchestrate much better times for us ahead. You’ve always been that way. Cheers, papa ❤️

Hair growth update! I’m just about 5.5 months out from chemo and the #chemocurls are creepin in! (The pictures on the left are 12 weeks out and when I finally felt like I had a “normal” hair situation.) It’s hard to believe so much time has passed since I was bald - this new wild hair has such a mind of its own and I’m loving it 💗
