A note Johnna wrote to herself❣️
Please read, donations are greatly appreciated❣️

Appreciation to myself. Yes, myself.
Johnna you are incredibly brave. For those that truly know my story you know I've powered through some wild storms. I amaze myself. Often I wonder how much more can I take? Well I can handle lots. I love a challenge, I do. I'm facing a huge challenge and I'm doing incredible. I've been told by my team of medicals! Yesterday I had Labs. All I can say is it pays to be happy, it's worth being humble, and I'm worth fighting for. Considering what I'm going through...it's hard. It's a fight. And I'm fighting for me. I love life. I love everything around me.
My message to you all is this...
Get up, a power through your own storms! Spread cheer as much as possible. And most of all be good to yourself.
Happy Saturday morning!
(Just a fyi....yes I have days that aren't so full of sunshine) it's my balance!!! And we all need balance. Be good to yourself!!!

Johnna is so strong

Good morning. Yesterday I met the man who did my biopsy. He's amazing. Even though he had to tell me some things no body wants to hear. But I listened. I leftvthe office scared for the first time since my diagnosis of sclc and bone cancer.
It's inoperable. However, I'm remaining extremely hopeful. I have so many people supporting me, praying, and helping me on my journey.
I will continue to respect my doctors, team and most of all pay attention to myself closer than ever. I'm not combative against medical treatment and the gazillion of rules I'm given. Yesterday was one month ciggy free!!! 30 days!!! I really underestimated my own willpower.
I'm told to continue my attitude and keep every appointment i have! And trust me they keep me busy!
This is a journey we are all on together. I know I'm not alone.
I'll continue on with #1#2 chemotherapy and fight harder than I ever have. And once upon a time I was a scarper, iykyk. Lol.
We all have an expiration date. We just don't know. I'm not living in fear. I'm living to thrive.
Only thing that blows is that I have to protect myself from so much during this. I miss hugging, I miss being in my community lending a hand, working, even playing rough with my dogs. I just gotta be smart. And I ask you all to start thinking of yourselves too.
Don't worry if I'm sleeping, busy, or too sick to talk/text/FaceTime
Communication is everything. I love you all.

A note from Johnna on her progression.

Let today be a great treatment day. As yesterday my body had a terrible reaction to my bone chemo meds. They acted at a blink!!! It was reversed and we started chemo #2
Chemotherapy #1 is Etoposide
Chemotherapy #2 is carboplatain
I'll receive my normal premeds with extra prevention meds. I believe it will work!!! Then I meet with radiology today after treatment. I'll tell you more about med #1 details later.


Thank you all so much for the donations for Johnna! I wanted to give you all an update on what has been going on with her.
She had her Petscan on Monday and the copay was LARGE and as reported before she has Small Cell Carsonoma in her lung and they found a spot on her hip. She had her port put in and Chemo treatments begin this Tuesday, and another Wednesday and another Thursday. Her spirits are high, she knows she is loved so very much and she appreciates the Love and support, the calls, the texts and messages from everyone! Please keep praying, sending those positive vibes and rendering light to Johnna- She's ready to get things started and get her treatments underway

YOU GOT THIS GIRL- YOU ARE SO STRONG!
XOXO -from us all❣️

Johnna Pugner Queer as most of you know was diagnosed with a Rare and Agressive cancer called Small Cell Carsonoma. She is moving quickly with treatments and Co-pays and nutritional needs, along with everyday living with a higher cost. She can not work due to this cancer.
She has been excepted to a few speciality care places, but of coarse processes will take a little time. When this happens she will have to leave the state and will have to pay for a place to stay while she gets the speciality care she so needs.
Johnna is a fighter and she is ready for the battle!
She should not have to worry about how to try to make this happen due to finances.
Johnna has been there for so many of us at some point and time. She is truly a faithful servant of God.
Please, let's help her with a part of her battle that we can!
This is a note to Johnna:
Shift your energy to the healing processes. Believe in yourself- you are so brave and so capable of all that you imagine and you are so loved by so many! YOU'VE GOT THIS❤️
