Hi everyone. I am sad to announce that on April 18th 2024 I was re-diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer to my brain. This is obviously not good, and a completely different situation from the last two times I had cancer. I am now terminally ill and I have been given somewhere between 3-6 months and an average, "potential year" to live. I've been told that of course there are always people who are outliers who get more time but that its best to get my affairs in order now, make funeral arrangements, and while Im still healthy to go out and tackle bucket list items and do my best to enjoy this last phase of my life while Im still able bodied.
As most of you know, I have had cancer three times now. Ive also been a student for the last 10 years and Im currently halfway through my masters degree. Like many of us, I also had to find a way to survive financially through covid and at this time, I can no longer work doing my regular job because of some new vision issues and a tremor in my right hand from the tumors in my brain. We are financially depleted and are reaching out to our community for help so that I can make sure our bills are paid, be able to cover expenses for my funeral, support my body homeopathically while Im living through this process and hopefully be able to do some travel with my friends and family before I become incapacitated.
I love and appreciate all of the support that I received through the years in this way from my entire community and support system. My family, clients, coworkers, colleagues and friends have been what has made it possible for us to keep our house during this crazy decade and for me to stay in school so I could look forward to a more stable future for myself and it is not lost on me how much effort has been made already on my behalf from just every single person I know. There is simply no version of my life that is successful without the express effort, generosity, tolerance and compassion of the people in my life and I want to make it clear that I feel this in my soul and my gratitude is eternal.
As I come to the end of my journey here with you all, I do want to express that I am not suffering. I am not in any mental, emotional or psychological turmoil. Im not afraid and I deeply deeply trust my being. I intend to follow my soul on its continued journey to where ever its headed with as much humility and surrender as I can. Please don't suffer for me or be scared for me. I feel safe in the arms of the Great Mystery and everything is going to be ok.
I love you all very much. Thank you for taking the time to read this and Ill look forward to getting to spend some time with each one of you in the coming months.
Thank you for any support you can offer me at this time.
