    Feeling Hopeful

    Feeling Hopeful

    My positive CT Scan results gave me so much hope! Before I didn’t know if it was possible to survive this cancer. It is so rare and not knowing if the treatments are working was nerve-racking and to be honest, I didn’t know if I could do it. Yes, I am scared that it could […]

    The waiting game

    The waiting game

    Last Thursday was my CT scan. Who knew it would be so stressful. On the way to my appointment, I felt emotional. I really want this test to bring some positive news in my life. I was listening to music and tears wanted to come out. The strangest thing was that I wasn’t thinking of […]

    Halfway point!

    Halfway point!

    This Monday was my third chemo, which marked the half way point of my treatment. Three down, three to go! I find this week was a bit harsher on me than the last cycle of chemo. The nauseas were more intense. All week, I didn’t feel so well. One day, I actually slept 14 hours […]

    He gave me a purpose…

    He gave me a purpose…

    A big part of my life, I didn’t know my purpose in life. Now that I made peace with myself and decided to stop comparing myself to others and be happy with what I have, now that death is threatening me, I pray for my life. I ask myself so many questions and the main […]

    The fear of not being remembered…

    The fear of not being remembered…

    This weekend was a little harder than usual. Has we went for a little walk, I was looking at people running, biking and kayaking and I was telling myself that I want to be able to do an activity like that again one day. Of course, with all the uncertainty in my life, I started […]

    A joyful long weekend ending too quick…

    A joyful long weekend ending too quick…

    The past weekend was great! For us in Canada, it was a long weekend. Yes, I was still feeling the chemo effects, but I was feeling good enough to go on a small walks here and there. When you have a child, you can’t just stay at home all the time. Our son would just […]

    Cycle 2 has begun…

    Cycle 2 has begun…

    So my hair has started to fall. I feel naked. I feel like a little chick with no feathers. I look at myself in the mirror and and I hate what I see. This will take a while to get used to. Many people mentioned that I look good bald, but it’s hard for me […]

    Life reflection: going back in time

    Life reflection: going back in time

    I am not shy to say that most of my life I was a loner. I don’t have close friends. I often felt alone. A lot of things happened in my childhood that probably contributed to this, but I can’t go back in time and change it. Being diagnosed with cancer brings you to review […]

    My life suddenly turned upside-down… The diagnosis journey.

    My life suddenly turned upside-down… The diagnosis journey.

    With COVID, you try to limit your exposure as much as possible. Who would have thought a side rib pain would turn someone’s life upside down. Well…it did for me.

    Daycare in Covid Times: A Challenge

    A Difficult Decision Sending my son to daycare was a hard decision. We didn’t have another alternative and it wasn’t by choice. I had already extended my maternity leave and it came the time that I needed to go back to work. It is harder for me than it is for my husband. If I […]

    Feeling Pushed to the Wall…

    Parenting Struggle #4: Stress and Anxiety

    Never in a million years would have I thought that having a child would change the way I react to different situations.

    You’re 11 months old…

    You’re 11 months old…

    This month flew by so quickly and was full of milestones. You are on the move! Soon we won’t be able to keep up with you! This month, you started to lift yourself on your walker all by yourself. All you want to do is walk. You learned to change directions, which makes you a […]
