"I had my one week post-op check-up with both of my doctors and I am cancer free! None of the lymph nodes removed had any cancer, and since the breast tissue is gone, so is that cancer!
So no chemo, no radiation, just rest. Thank you all for your prayers! Love you all! ❤️"
so i am cancer free! :D :D :D
now i just have to heal up and have my reconstruction surgery this summer <3
posting here mostly to cover my bases as i think there are one or two people who follow me here that don't anywhere else
but... i just posted this on facebook
"Update on my not updating much. I have just been diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer. No I didn’t know there was a stage 0 either. It is 100% survivable and 100% treatable. It’s called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). I have one spot that is DCIS and one spot that is pre-DCIS. I’m meeting with the surgeon on Monday to discuss how much stuff is getting removed and when that is happening.
I’m good. Family is good. This is pretty much the best news we could have gotten given the situation. But it’s been hanging over me since October. I didn’t get the MRI until the beginning of January, and then didn’t get the biopsy until two weeks ago, and just got the official results today. Hence the not being as active online for a while. I’ll update you all when we have a treatment plan.
So, that’s what I’ve been up to. I guess this counts as starting the year on a high note? Sort of? XD"
Want to make my birthday a little brighter? Then how about you:
Check out my latest fanfic series "To Forgive is Divine" and maybe leave a comment or two? Then you can check out the follow up stories "Swords Into Plowshares" and "Primum Non Nocere"!
You could also check out all my other fanfics! I have 10+ years of various stories over many different fandoms, so why not take a peek?
Interested in my non-fanfic writing? I have a series called The Midwife Fables about a Midwife using her wits and cunning to do everything from assisting in births to solving murders and dealing with various fairy tale problems. And if you get it and like it please leave a review!
Also I'm publishing a novel later this year! You can learn more about it here, including how you can help out!
Now if you would excuse me I have to go eat way too much cake and sushi in celebration of not dropping dead yet.
Flowers have a long history of symbolism that you can incorporate into your writing to give subtext.
Symbolism varies between cultures and customs, and these particular examples come from Victorian Era Britain. You'll find examples of this symbolism in many well-known novels of the era!
I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful
"My surgery is tomorrow (the Tuesday after blankety-blank Daylight Savings time, I might add) and I have to be at the hospital at 5:45AM. That's A as in Apple and M as in 'why are Mornings so early in the day???'.
Wish me luck I guess? XD See you all on the flip side! 😎"
having a double mastectomy tomorrow morning and @aughtpunk has informed me that before I go under i need to tell someone that "i have to get something off my chest" XD
she also said that since i'm getting reconstruction surgery later, i'm basically getting both types of top surgery in the same year XD
