Here we go! Last chemo! Wasnā€™t sure this was going to happen today due to low iron levels. Iā€™ll need a few iron infusions in the next few weeks but thank goodness I was still able to get chemo today. Letā€™s do this! ONE LAST TIME!!! #breastcancer #chemotherapy #thriving

I want the world to know about this guy. My rock. My laugh through the pain. The one that holds my hand & says, ā€œthis sucks but you can do it.ā€ I couldnā€™t do any of this without his arms lifting me up. So glad I fell for that dimple on his face 18 years ago. #BreastCancer

Itā€™s ā€œBring Your Buddy To Iron Infusions Day!ā€ Didnā€™t you hear?? Ok so it isnā€™t an official day but it should be! This is us trying to make the letter ā€œIā€ for iron in sign language & arms. Pretty sure the folks at the infusion center donā€™t know what to do with usā€¦ #breastcancer

Iā€™m 100 percent certain I wouldnā€™t have any friends if people saw the way I eat chips and dip when Iā€™m by myself. #truth #getintomybelly

Each night during #chemo, I painted a square. Colors of emotions & specific things. No idea what Iā€™ll do with it now itā€™s complete but I can look at it & see the journey. Thereā€™s something satisfying about that. We all go through things in our unique way & design. #BreastCancer

I just had chicken and waffles for the 1st time. I want you to know that Iā€™m a changed woman. If you see me on the street, youā€™re going to look at me & say, ā€œDamn, thatā€™s a woman that finally experienced the life altering incredible joy of chicken and waffles.ā€ Watch out world.

Last iron infusion! Funny thing - You have to put lidocaine to numb your port 30 minutes prior. Which is when Iā€™m driving my kiddos to school. So you bring your lidocaine, your scissors and your cling wrap in the car and you make it work! #breastcancer #infusion #thriving

You know you work at a special place (Westside Community Schools) when on your 1st day there are flowers waiting for you on your desk and your previous coworkers show up with a plant for your new office. I felt the love today as well as the joy of being back with people. Good good day!

Iā€™ve always dreamed of having a book deal announced on Publishers Marketplace. So so excited!! I hope the world loves reading the book as much as I loved writing it. (And hopefully they donā€™t curse reading it like I also did writing it.) #kidlit #writers #middlegrade #bookdeal

Still bald. I have 1 straggly hair on the back of my head and you better believe I wash that one hair and cater to its every need. That hair is a fighter. It deserves the expensive shampoo. I might even splurge beyond Kirkland brand. #breastcancerawareness #thriving #chemohair

So happy to represent Westside Community Schools and connect with the amazing students at University of Nebraska at Omaha Iā€™m impressed at all they are ready to take on and accomplish. And I loved telling them about a district that is innovative and inclusive for its entire educational community. #BeTheOne #Rollside

Iā€™d like to think that the hairs on my eyebrows went on amazing adventures. Maybe 1 fell off at Target. Maybe 1 floated on the wind. Weā€™ll never know. But wherever they are, I thank them for their years of service & look forward to welcoming the next batch of employees. #chemo
