Hi everyone, I’m Linda.

In 2023, I started noticing signs that something wasn’t right, but like many of us do, I ignored them—until a trip to the ER in January 2024 changed everything. That’s when I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer.

After six rounds of chemo and surgery, we were thrilled to beat the cancer in July 2024. But just a few months later, in November, bloodwork showed it had come back—and spread to my left lung.

Since then, I’ve gone through three different types of chemotherapy, and I’m about to begin a fourth, possibly alongside radiation. 2025 has brought more ER visits, new doctors, and the added challenge of managing medical supplies at home due to the cancer spread to my abdominal and now my right lung.

To top it off, one of our sweet furbabies is also going through her own health struggles with regular vet and eye doctor visits. Emotionally and financially, it’s been a lot. It’s all starting to add up.

If you’re going through something similar, know you’re not alone. And if you’re able to send love, support, or even just a kind word—it means the world.
