complications, anyone?

July 15, 2022July 14, 2022 / starryeyednikki / Leave a comment

From what I've gathered through Google research, most forms of chemo cause a drop in blood cell counts. Leukemia-specific chemo seems to pack a harder punch in this aspect. Since Leukemia originates in bone marrow, which is where cells and platelets are manufactured, and the chemo targets the bone marrow, blood cell counts drop drastically … Continue reading complications, anyone?

15 years ago, my mom had breast cancer. She was the first person close to me who was ever diagnosed with cancer, so this was the first exposure I had to chemo.

The evening of May 22 was pretty normal for me. It was a Sunday night, so I went to bed at my usual time of 9pm. The following Monday was going to be a long and busy one, as it was my last day in the office before a 10 day vacation. Sometimes I struggle … Continue reading the big c is in the house

Mid-week reminder - you’re amazing as you are. 💛
Are you a reader? I'm a huge book nerd. I love reading, almost as much as I love writing. I don't think this is a topic I've touched on too much on this IG account. I've been devouring books like no tomorrow since I got my cancer diagnosis. As tumultuous as this experience has been I'm not going to lie, having time to immerse myself in these fictional worlds has been incredible.
Welcome to today's chemo infusion party!
Finally got started on blogging about my journey. The first entry is up. I'll be doing these chronologically, covering different parts of my hospital stay and journey in different entries. Otherwise there would be a book for you all to read. :)
This is life with AML.
Nature and good friends are the best medicine. 🍄🌻🌞
