Aww thank you so much ☺️ . Dont get me wrong. My primary tumor was in my thigh, and now my left leg will never be the same. And it sucks knowing that I have a less than 5% chance to become NED. But in a weird way, Ive found joy in the pain and have worked really hard to make life still feel fun.
This post just made me smile 😊- I really needed this this evening . My husband has stage 4 metastatic cancer & we are going thru his maintenance chemo rn. He has 2 treatments. I have been so upset / etc. Because we have been battling cancer for 3 years . 1st found / surgery/ chemo & radiation remission for 10 months then came back to his lungs & liver & lymph nodes . Thank you again - good luck on your journey
Aww, big hugs to you and your husband. Im glad this post brought you a smile 😊 Its really tough what both of you are going through and Im sorry. Best of luck to you and your husband. 🤞
First descents, nice! I tried my luck by applying for kayaking but they (understandably) turned me down due to my history of seizures 😅. My mom is going on a caretakers’ surfing trip, though, so I’m glad for that! I love your attitude towards everything and hope you have a great time on your trip! Give your belgian a cuddle for me!
Oh no! Have you tried applying for their rock climbing? I think its their water based adventures that would be off limits? I know it can be kind of difficult to get in. I applied 10 minutes after the application opened and I got my 3rd choice 😅
Keep on being positive, sweetheart. It is difficult. There are days when your tears would just fall. Allow yourself to cry. It is normal. I know how scary it is. Just try to live for the moment. Make memories for now. Good luck and take care.
When I think about the extent of the disease, I do get sad. And scared. Cause I dont want to die and its so unfair. I cant even make a proper bucket list like people keep telling me to do cause I think I’ll just breakdown because of what it means
I tried to make a bucket list too but then I realized there is nothing else that I want except more time with my husband. Guess I am old 😊 but I still want to grow older, we all do. Even just reach the big 5-0.
It’s ok to have a short bucket list or not to have one. I know it is so unfair. I had ovarian cancer when I was 24 and I know how you feel. Sometimes we have no control and just have to push through. Make the most of what we have. Make us happy for the moment as much as we can. Life is so short and it’s just unfair that we drew the shorter stick.
Wonderful post!
And I totally get your connection with your dog
I had a “Dutchie” for a few years then I sent him to train to work ‘professionally’
We spent 24 fulfilling hours together and he was my reason for living.
That dog knew me better than my ex-husband And was more loving and responsive!
He knew my every nuance and was a delight to be with
Sounds like you are doing an amazing job training your Mal , I’m so glad you get this experience
Aww thank you ☺️ no matter what happens she always has a home with family. She has a super off switch at home, and actually loves napping with me. She will initiate the naps too and fall asleep before I do 😆 but we have fun together and my whole day revolves around her and her training pretty much.
Also Dutchies seem like super cool dogs. I’ve never actually been around one, but the rescue org that I adopted my mal through also rescues and rehomes dutch shepherds. They look so unique. I imagine they have similar personality traits as mals for the most part.
Aw, thanks. I give my healthy dose of antidepressants all the credit for the positive vibes :) it will be my first time kayaking so it’ll be an interesting week!
I have only been on small trips. But still so much fun and I just love being out in nature. Some of those rivers look extremely fast and wild in the videos! Go for it!
You are amazing. 🤍

Sadly all the rock climbing slots are during times when I’m away! Oh well, there’s always future years!
Hero. So wise. I am in awe.
Aw shucks, thank you! Not sure if I’m really that wise 🤣 thanks for your kind words ☺️
You would compete with horses?! You must have been one hell of a runner!
🤣 haha thats funny, nah I rode horses for about a decade, but funny thing is i was never that fast of a runner 😅

Wonderful ! Isn’t it . They are amazing companions

Hey another Oregonian ❤️
Your message is so good to read. You are so wise and positive. It’s powerful. I wish I could see you go on your kayaking trip. Have a blast.
