Honoring her life, love, and legacy
Good morning and happy Thursday my friends! I got my CT yesterday, and while I haven’t spoken to my Onco about it yet, the general gist is as follows – Some good, some bad. Bad news – the mesentery and peritoneal areas are worse, and the spots in my lungs have increased from 2mm to…
In the face of unimaginable challenges, some people show a kind of strength that inspires everyone around them. Jamie Walls is one of those people. A devoted mother of four—two of them still in their preteen years—Jamie is currently battling stage 4 cancer. But even as she undergoes intense treatments and navigates an uphill fight,…
I have made a decision that some of you may not agree with, but hear me out – I will be discussing with my doctor tomorrow the following: I am requesting a CT scan asap to see where I’m at currently. I then am requesting a 3 month hiatus from chemo to focus on my…

WBW and liver enzymes are low, but not freak out low – they’ve been trending down since the first treatment so something that we need to watch. Because of the low levels, we are not starting the new drug as it’s completely metabolized by the liver and we run the risk of just destroying my…
Lots of exciting things to update you all on – I finished up my second round of chemo last week and I wont lie – it straight kicked my butt. It’s been a week and I’m still incredibly fatigued, and even though I’ve been in denial about it, I’m finally admitting I have a cold….
Wanted to send another heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you for supporting and helping get me through this. I love each and every one of you! Got my Caris report back and we now know that I have a BRAF V600E mutation – according to Dr. Google, less than 10% of patients with colorectal…
