On a personal level I fall into a rare small margin of people in my age range, type of tumor, and stage of cancer. It’s unfortunate how unique this stupid thing is and just how personal it gets.

I underwent another MRI last Thursday before I started my monthly chemo treatment and we are no better than we were the month before. The doctors are please it has kept the same foot print and it has stayed within its margins for how aggressive this stupid f***** is. So we upped the dosage of chemo to try and stun it. Unfortunately chemo still not so fun and makes you deathly sick. So I rest and focus on how I can make myself healthier and keep the good fight going. March on friends!
