This is a friendly reminder…. You don’t owe anyone information about your health. I spent so much time texting everyone back. Giving painful details of my life just because they asked. I wish I kept some things just for me. ❤️

5 symptoms I had when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma : 1. Weight loss without trying 2. Shortness of breath 3. Itchy legs 4. Extreme fatigue 5. Swollen Lymph Node without pain Sharing to help spread awareness. See a doctor if you’re experiencing symptoms. 🫶

I think this is a great cancer muggle comeback for all the things… just saying 😅 carry around a little notebook and just start jotting their name down right in front of them. 👁️👄👁️

I thought cancer took away the person I was. I grieved for her, wished to go back. It hit me only recently that she didn’t leave. She’s been here all along. The true me. The little kid inside of me who was creative & fearless. I hate cancer but I’m grateful it brought her back ❤️

My friend took these photos today on the 8 year anniversary of his brother’s passing. Somehow just looking at these photos… I can tell he was there with him. ❤️‍🩹

If you're unsure about how to refer to someone with cancer, it's always best to ask them directly. They can tell you what language they prefer. Some dislike the terms “warrior” or “fighter” while others embrace it. It’s an easy thing to ask about and can really make a difference.

No cancer isn’t all that I am or will be… but it’s a huge part of my identity. If you want me to just “move on” you’re asking me to erase a huge part of my story. Please accept all of me. Don’t ask me to hide the parts that make you uncomfortable. 🤍
