#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!

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.

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 never

Surgery is set!

Sorry for the delayed update, but we hit a few bumps in the road.  So, I had my MRI February 16th as planned.   I then went to my oncologist on the 20th and the surgeon on the 21st.   Those appointments were a little tough since the MRI had not been read.   The oncologist explained I would see her every 6 weeks until August to check in and have my immunotherapy.   I couldn’t have the immunotherapy that day since it is a new year we had to wait until the insurance approved.    Next, we had the appointment with surgeon which was informative as he gave us the options for surgery.   It was decided that a lumpectomy and reconstruction followed by radiation was my best option.    We quickly had it scheduled (for the next week) pending the MRI results.   Well, you guessed it, here is where we hit the bump in the road.   The MRI report was in, and they could see a new spot on the other side.   A biopsy was scheduled for the next week and surgery was canceled.   We needed to find out what t
