First real workout since chemo/radiation — gym, big nap, dog walk. Not perfect, but just what I needed.

Back tomorrow morning — who’s in? Move, share, bonus for pics!

15 months ago, music became therapy amidst my cancer. I even wrote my first song, "Paint My Canvas," recording its piano accompaniment through chemo-brain. Despite the brutal challenges, this unexpected creative outlet brings tiny, melodic victories. 🔗👇

Starting lifelong chemo (first dose of Enhertu). I’m scared and angry, not ready, but I refuse to give in.

So, to my cancer, in Gloria Gaynor’s words:

“Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive”

Today was tough, but we survived. My sick daughter (masked up) showed me her board game design. Jon brought toast and Pedialyte. Jess dropped dinner. My son joined me for video games. Small moments, big love carried me through.

One of the hardest parts of this treatment is that the chemo steroids I need for 3 days wipe out my narcolepsy medication. My sleep schedule gets turned upside down, & I just have to find a way to survive this reality until it passes.
