Let's start by saying I am lazy and if I have to repeat my story one more damn time, I am going to lose my mind! So I give a detailed account of my diagnosis on the ABOUT page on here. Warning: It's long as hell.
There are a lot of acquaintances who know something is wrong with me but I just can't get around to everyone. Many people have no clue of my situation. Speaking of my situation, being pregnant with gastric cancer is a complete rarity. I thought maybe I could help spread the word or find a connection to people or families in my situation.
I also want to try and leave a detailed account for my family. That way when my kids are older they can have a better understanding of my situation. For my sake, I am using this as a means for me to express the millions of thoughts that race through my mind at any given moment. My husband is a kick-ass support system, but there are some things I just can't say out loud. Here, I can be brutally honest and hide behind the safety of a computer screen.
I will warn you in advance; it won't always be pretty. I have read through numerous blogs and they are wonderful, but they are not me. I want someone to be honest and drop a few "f bombs" here or there because let's face it, cancer fucking sucks. The only way I am going to get through this is with honesty and humor.
Here goes nothing.
