#Perspective, getting real about Mondays....

Missi Coggins Neskorik, my BFF, getting real about Mondays....

Facebook post of on 9/19/2022

I know everyone dreads Monday morning and we all complain like crazy that the weekend is over. As I read through some of the posts this morning all I could think of is my best friend that has Chemo every Monday morning for the near future and I’ve not heard her complain one time. Talk about sucky Mondays!  She’s fighting the good fight and not complaining but thankful that she’s here with us still. And God knows I’m glad she is. We’ve been through a lot together so by God I’m gonna be by her side and cheer her on through this fight. So have a great Monday and be grateful that you’re here and healthy. Love You M!!!

Tomorrows Monday and every Sunday night I’m gonna remind you that it’s coming because I want you to embrace it. I want you to love it. I want you to remember that you’re here and you can love it. I want you to remember those that are sitting in a chair letting chemo run through their veins so that they can see just one more day. And when you start dreading it, smile and thank Monday for showing up again because for some Mondays are saving their lives so they CAN see that one more day. So cheers to Monday!  Start celebrating it and embracing it like I am. I love you M! Kick cancers butt like I know you can.

In case you were wondering I didn’t forget last Monday to post, but my bestie actually got approved to skip a treatment to take a trip to the beach but she’s back at it this week and so am I. Good Monday morning. We thank you God for another Monday to fight the fight, to heal Mary’s body. I’ve been amazed by her during this fight. She’s chosen to blog about this, which is HUGE for her. She’s such a private person and doesn’t like to ask for help. As a matter of fact she will do whatever she can so she doesn’t have to ask for help. Embrace Monday, kick butt today and when you do kick Monday’s butt, do it for Mary Deshler Daniels. And don’t ever forget to Thank God for another Monday. Love you M, to the moon and back!

One year ago today!

August 2, 2022 was the day my life changed forever.   I heard the words too many people hear, "I'm sorry your biopsy came back positive for cancer.” I immediately joined a club no one ever thinks they will be a part of.  In that instant, and in the days and weeks that followed, I didn't know exactly what was going to happen. All of the doctors told me it was small, and we caught it early.  And all of this brings me to today: my cancerversary. You may be wondering, what is that? Am I supposed to do something specific? The first thing you need to know is there are no rules. There are many possible cancer anniversaries, and this is just one of them (stay tuned I may celebrate just this one or all of them). Since I can't change anything of the past year, I am deciding to not be depressed today. I will not ignore the day that changed my life. I will continue to find the good in everything. I appreciate every single person in my life. I appreciate each day in a way I nev...

Radiation - that's a wrap!

Today has been a busy but GREAT day!  We started the morning off early with a drive to Nashville to get my immunotherapy.  There is just one more immunotherapy  treatment to go, which will be in 6 weeks.   Next, we headed back to Cookeville for my  LAST radiation treatment.   YAY!   I’m so glad I was able to have my radiation treatments  locally at Cookeville Regional Cancer Center, because I had to go every weekday for 21  treatments and they took such great care of me.   We ended our day with a celebration  dinner out with my favorite people.   I have had such great support through this  especially my husband who has been my rock through it all.   I am truly blessed.

Life is like a roller coaster!

I have not posted an update in a while because I have been in a holding pattern.  First off, I have been doing great and am back working in person. Yay, life is starting to get back to normal.  I have been feeling pretty good, but I am still battling with neuropathy in my feet. My hair has also started growing back so I am sporting my new do which is gray and bit wavy. Not sure what my plan is with it yet, just letting it do what it wants for now. So now to explain what the holdup has been. I had one spot from surgery that just wouldn't heal. We finally had to go back for an in-office procedure. There were a few stitches that my body couldn't/wouldn't dissolve so they removed the affected area which was about a pea size. Finally, the area has healed up, and I started radiation this morning (June 12).  I am only 6 weeks behind schedule but who is counting. The plan is 21 sessions (days) which means going every weekday for my treatment. Luckily, I am getting to do these tre...
