Very grateful to be home from the hospital after being there for nearly a week. Unfortunately, I had my third bowel obstruction and had to have a tube down my nose and throat. Despite it being a good diet (kidding), obstructions are by far one of the most painful things. The reoccurrence is coupled with the pain meds I was on after my stent surgery, and possible scar tissue blocking the intersection of where the small intestine meets the colon. Just another day in the life of a cancer patient... ——————— At the moment I am in a holding pattern in terms of the next steps with my treatment. As I mentioned before, Steve and I are seeking different options with various cancer related centers. Being that I’m not currently having any treatment definitely causes high anxiety, but my heart and soul, Steve always talks me off the ledge. Particularly this morning after I said the words, “I’m sick of being sick” and felt like giving up. Thankfully, Steve continues to push me to believe in myself and quickly steered away the negativity I was feeling. This life certainly isn’t a walk in the park, but I’m grateful every day that I am still here, along with an incredible support system of family, friends and strangers alike. I’m catching up on messages, but I’d like to thank everyone for your well wishes while I was in the hospital! SO.MUCH.LOVE! 💕💙💕

Fall layering over here with the most fashionable of hospital attire. — gown ✔️tie dye ✔️Star Wars pants ✔️moccasins ✔️yellow hosp socks ✔️ Looks like I’ll be here at least one more night. The tube down my nose/throat was taken out this morning, so my voice is nice and seckseee. Glad to see some sunshine and get outside for a bit in the healing garden, but hoping to break out of here by tomoz. 🤞💙🌵 #ootd

Thank you @cscaz360 for swinging by the hospital and bringing a girls skin back to life with these @arbonne goodies! Feeling hydrated 💦and refreshed 🙌#cancersupportcommunity #cancer #hospitallife #arbonne

I woke up this morning feeling down and defeated, a feeling that I thought I had put away in a box, never to open again. Depression, PTSD, survivors guilt and a multitude of other things can go on behind the scenes of a cancer patient. I’ve been there, and it’s not a place I ever wish to return. Realistically though, sometimes no matter how happy of a face you put on, you just feel down. And today, to put it simply I was letting that emotion back into my mind and body, allowing cancer to get the better of me. What did I do to turn that around? I became my own advocate, removed myself from feeling helpless and I got to work looking at other treatment centers. This in an effort to seek other options and opportunities that might be out there and to shake this cancer. I spent the earlier part of the day on the phone with Cancer Treatment Centers of America and I have a scheduled appointment next week to see what they can offer. If there is a will there is a way! Don’t stop at the word NO, preserve in the urgency of it being life or death and fight for a Doctor you like and trust, the treatment that best suits your needs and keep f*cking cancer in check!!! 💙📞⛑ // PS- does anyone else lay this way whilst talking on the celly? No...just me? Okay... #cancerlife #advocate #colorectalcancer #dontstopwontstop #evileye

Despite this crazy week of not so great news, and a stent surgery, I’ve managed to squeeze in 3 concerts. Tonight wrapped this crazy week up perfectly with @hanson String Theory Live. 💯 one of the most beautiful shows I’ve ever seen. Thank you @jenhowen for a lovely night and making our teenage dreams come true. 💕 #hansonstringtheory #hanson #dtphx #orchestra #comericatheatre
