The irony of today is that it’s exactly one year since I received my first dose of Adriamycin and Cytoxan—the “red devil,” something I truly did not want to have. Today marks my one-year anniversary. I had a routine appointment with my oncologist, and fortunately, because things are going so well, there wasn’t much to […]

It is last day of November. The year is mercilessly approaching its finale. Autumn (sounds better to me than fall) is here and I notice it everywhere in splotches of yellow and red.

Seriously! Who is in charge here? This is one of the shots during yet another unexpected stop on the way home. Our two day trip although relaxed and unhurried had many stops and all in all we have covered over 500 miles. Day 2 was more intense (at least for me). A morning walk on […]

Yesss!!! This is the first time I am spending the night not at home in ten months! I am in Moonstone Beach (Cambria, CA). I am taking a road trip. First time in many months when I am not wearing a mask, wig, or a beanie. I am breaking so many rules today! I am […]

Let me start with this, August 4 meant I went into the 9th month of this interesting and exciting journey. We started the journey together – me and my cancer, and citing my favorite Harry Potter again, I no longer feel possessed by Voldemort, sorry TNBC. So I guess I am luckier than professor Quirrell […]
