    Whac-a-Mole

    Whac-a-Mole

    Since my first diagnosis, I have acquired many tools to help me to live as normal and as happy as I can be considering everything. I am usually good at closing the negative box and putting it behind me, but recent news disrupted my peace quite a bit. As many knows, I have recently underwent…

    Cancer Journey: Living Hell or Blessing?

    Cancer Journey: Living Hell or Blessing?

    Life is unpredictable and often taken for granted. Cancer showed me what is the most important in life.

    Cancer Journey: Exploring Healing Through the Chakras

    Cancer Journey: Exploring Healing Through the Chakras

    I have been taking free classes through Wellspring recently to help me with my cancer journey with the hope to accept the person I have become and what has happened in the past year, heal from the trauma I have been through and hopefully find and be a better version of myself. Today was the…

    Mom struggle #2: Trusting your child is eating enough

    Mom struggle #2: Trusting your child is eating enough

    As a mom, you always want to make sure your child has enough to eat. You tell yourself that if he doesn’t eat, he doesn’t get the nutrient he needs to be healthy. My son has been a picky eater ever since he was ready for solid food. It has been a challenge and hard…

    Nothing worse than leaving your child when he’s crying.

    Cancer Journey: Mind Battles

    Cancer Journey: Mind Battles

    The Cancer Journey… a roller coaster of mixed emotions, never-ending stresses, anxieties and uncertainties, but also an eye-opener for some. Battling cancer is a big word. What people don’t talk about is when you are on the other side of the cancer battle, you are left with a forever altered life and conflicting thoughts.

    Cancer Journey: A year as passed…

    On this day last year, my life turned upside-down… This was the day I learned I had cancer. It was the worst day of my life. A lot changed since, a lot of bad days and a few good ones. My vision of life changed. Of course becoming a mom also changed the way I…

    DAY 2: Gratitude Challenge: My Workplace | JOUR 2 : Défi de gratitude : Mon endroit de travail

    DAY 2: Gratitude Challenge: My Workplace | JOUR 2 : Défi de gratitude : Mon endroit de travail

    Today I am grateful for the understanding and support of my workplace. They sent me flowers and notes and I appreciate all the gestures they made. It was only 3 months since I returned from my 12 month maternity leave when I was diagnosed with cancer. I left pretty quickly and felt bad about it.…

    DAY 1: Gratitude Challenge: My Family | JOUR 1 : Défi de gratitude : Ma famille

    I can’t believe it’s December already! I thought since it’s the last month of the year that I would do a gratitude challenge. You are welcome to join me for this by using #MBBDecemberGratitude and #ccsgratitude if you want. I will post 1 thing every day that I am grateful for. Having cancer often opens your eyes…

    Diagnosis | Diagnostic

    Diagnosis | Diagnostic

    All I remember from the day I learned I had cancer was the fear, the sadness and the despair I felt. Tout ce dont je me souviens du jour où j’ai appris que j’avais le cancer, c’est la peur, la tristesse et le désespoir que je ressentais. #ccsfearlessfriday

    A letter to myself | Une lettre à moi-même

    A letter to myself | Une lettre à moi-même

    Dear Me, Things have changed in the past couple of years. You became the mother of a beautiful boy whom you love unconditionally. You never thought you could love a human being this much. You raised this little being in the middle of a pandemic which made it very difficult for you and possibly created…

    Diagnosis currently under review | Diagnostic maintenant en révision.

    Monday I had my post-operative follow-up appointment. Everything looks good and they will follow me closely every 3 months. My prognosis looks very good so far, but what’s most shocking is that they are not sure if the cancer they orginally diagnosed me with is the correct one. They think it might be something else.…

    It’s only temporary | Ce n’est que temporaire

    It’s only temporary | Ce n’est que temporaire

    Two weeks ago, I had my surgery. Things went well. They were able to remove the main tumour as well as 4 wedges of my right lung. Part of me is relieved, part of me is worried that they may have missed something. Many people are telling me to focus on the now and stop…

    Walking is my time for reflection | La marche est mon temps de réflexion

    Walking is my time for reflection | La marche est mon temps de réflexion

    Walking is my time for reflection. Since I learned about my cancer, I think a lot. But ever since I finished my chemo treatments, it seems like I’ve been thinking a lot more. I guess we can describe all my thoughts as soul-searching. — La marche est mon temps de réflexion. Quand j’ai appris pour…

    The feeling of hope continues… | Le sentiment d’espoir continue…

    I am sorry if I was M.I.A. for a while… as most of you know, I have been dealing with cancer since April 2021. My life hasn’t been the way I imagined especially with a young child and the pandemic. My hopes was very low up until June when I learned it shrank almost by…
