Day 22 of treatment. 🩷 (Sept 11) Today was extra special because I had my LAST CHEMOTHERAPY APPOINTMENT. 🥹 Five infusions. So many appointments. So many side effects. So many moments where I wondered how I was going to keep going. Ringing that bell and bursting into tears is a moment I’ll ne

Day 21 (Sept 10) Today I had radiation, a physical done with my oncology team, and bloodwork to make sure I’m ready for my FINAL chemotherapy appointment tomorrow!! I also asked as many questions as I could about my brachytherapy starting Tuesday. There’s still a lot to process, but I’m t

Pouring Forward means more to me than I can really put into words. Pouring Forward is about community. It’s about the people who show up for each other, especially when life gets really fucking hard. Hospitality is the business of people. We spend our lives taking care of everyone e

Day 20 This morning I weighed out all my truffles so I could get them packed up and sent out fresh to the chefs. We’re even sending some all the way to Ottawa today! 🍄‍🟫 After that, I stopped by Purolator, grabbed lunch with Ali on his break, and then completely passed out in my Uber on the

I need to tell you something I wish I had understood sooner. I was advocating for myself. I was going to multiple doctors, hospitals and specialists. I was getting my Pap tests. I kept saying something was wrong. Three years ago, I was told, verbatim, “It’s not cancer, and you’re not bleeding

Insane. My heart is so full. And I finally get to rest. ❤️‍🩹 Day 19 (Sept 8th) I was at the hospital at 8am this morning for radiation and an MRI to help plan my brachytherapy. I’ve basically been sleeping since I got home, and I have to head back for another round of radiation at 5:30 because y

I’ve never been very good at sitting still. 😂 When I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, I knew I wanted to believe that everything happens for a reason. I knew somehow this experience was going to give me a purpose, but for a while, I had no idea what that purpose was. Then I started thinkin

Day 17 (Tuesday Sept 8) I was up until 3am last night after Pouring Forward, and somehow I was back at the hospital for radiation at 8am this morning. 😴 Today is a BIG one. I started with radiation, then I have an MRI to help plan my brachytherapy, and finally I’m back for another radiation t

Day 18 of 25. 💙 Today my parents came with me to radiation and chemotherapy, which was nice. They had me on the 18th floor instead of the fourth, so I got my own room and could have both of them with me. My patient care was actually really great today, and I even got a strawberry popsicle to

Day 17 of 25. Four more days until Pouring Forward. 💙 Today was bloodwork, radiation, and appointments with both my radiation and chemo oncology teams. Tomorrow my parents are coming down for the first time for my chemotherapy appointment, and they’re also going to help me out around the hous

Day 16 of 25. Last Wednesday, Pouring Forward was just five days away, and I was exhausted. I’d spent so much time (the last 20 days) planning this event, and suddenly my body was demanding that I slow down. Trying to balance treatment, the event, and everything else has been a lot. But I

Today, I did something for me. ❤️ I’ve been going to hospital appointments every single day, and somewhere in between treatment, exhaustion and everything else, I’ve been holding onto this night. We bought presale tickets to RÜFÜS DU SOL months ago, long before I knew what this year was going

Day 15 of treatment. 🥱 Quick one at the hospital today… because apparently I’ve made falling asleep on the radiation table part of my routine. 😂 The ringing in my ears has been getting worse, and my vision has been a little off. And honestly, it feels like no matter how much I sleep, I’m chro

Day 13 of treatment. 🩷 It’s the start of a new week and I’m completely exhausted. I could barely keep my eyes open today and actually passed out on the radiation table. The fatigue is hitting me hard, and I barely ate today but I’m still showing up and taking it one day at a time. We are

Day 12. 🩷 Chemotherapy + radiation today. The side effects from cisplatin are starting to hit. The ringing in my ears is getting worse, so I had to do a baseline hearing test at 8am before heading into radiation and chemo. It’s a lot. Some days my body feels like it’s fighting me. But t
