There are two things this disease has made me become an expert with:
learning how to be okay with never leaving your little comfy space (or rather being confined to it).ย
or
constantly leaving that comfort zone you’ve been confined to for the purpose of being EVERYTHING but comfortable.ย
Luckily I’ve acquired the most important lesson of my own, & that was to stay fabulous no matter what. Have YOU guys figured out the meaning of ‘Staying Fabulous’ yet?
This past year my health has declined significantly despite doing the most treatments packed into one time frame ever.ย
With that said, my wardrobe mostly consists of comfy pyjamas, my hair is done by my husband (bless his heart). Speaking of hair, let’s be real… I can’t even wash my own hair, there I go again painting a whole different picture for you guys. I have care almost every day, and a lot of things I’m unable to do. Fabulous means SO many different things, but I still haven’t lost my fabulous, even if I’ve lost my ability to do all of these things by myself.
When I choose to do my makeup it takes me sometimes close to 5 hours or more, but I don’t mind because it’s every couple of months or so – and it makes me SO happy! Despite what I share in photos, we create a picture to make others happy as well.
What matters is the love, the laughter, the same outlook I’ve promised to have from the beginning hasn’t changed.
My message is being delivered with the same sparkle (most days) ย โบ๏ธโจ because that’s what PHEO VS FABULOUS is all about.
Regardless of everything that we have been going through to make it here, we’re here, and we feel just as grateful as ever.
When we were challenged, we leaned on each other for the support we so badly needed.
We felt so blessed for the support we constantly receive.
It isn’t in me to give up, the only thing to do now is move forward. To unfortunately just keep receiving another treatment and see what’s next.
What IS next you ask?ย
Remember option 1 or 2? Well, today is # 2. Actually this week is a bit of both… except today is …
leaving the spot I’m most comfortable in. (You know, normally I’m confined to my house)
AND, this week is being confined to a space … but unfortunately not the space I’m most comfortable in, quite the opposite actually – I wouldn’t call the hospital or a radiation room my comfort zone. ๐ฅโ ๏ธ
BUT that’s the life of being terminally ill ๐ท treatments, clinical trials, being radioactive, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! โ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ธ๐ป
After all that jazz I will be laying in the big spaceship scans later in the week… pretending I’m getting a facial in my Dream bungalow house in the trees that has NO stairs, one of those swim spa pools where my poor body can float all year round, and a little all year round sunroom for my puppies & me to relax when I’m feeling down ย ๐ก sounds wonderful right? My mind is escaping there already.ย
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming โจโจโจ
Ok, time to glow friends ๐๐ฝ๐
Tuesday is the actual day for treatment, PS ๐ฅโข๏ธ In case you guys forgot what treatment it is, it’s the PRRTย clinical trial ย – this will be my fourth round.
(Which also happens to be serge and my 7 year anniversary ๐, which also happens to somehow ALWAYS be spent in the hospital ๐ช๐ญ)
Bye everybody!
๐ฃ๐
Sending lots of good thoughts your way! Love you both!
