I was diagnosed with cancer at 32, and I’ve been in chemotherapy, radiation, or recovering from surgery ever since. I’ve had a colostomy placed and reversed, which left my intestines pretty confused. I travel from Charlotte to Duke every couple of weeks for treatment and routine bloodwork.
My kids are five and eight years old. They don’t really remember a time before I was sick. One of the hardest parts of this journey has been missing out on holidays, milestones, and the simple moments that make up everyday family life. I want to give them memories of me outside the bed, enjoying life together.
