Journey Through Immunotherapy: Todd’s Turning Point

So far Todd has had two immunotherapy treatments of Opdivo and Yervoy. After his second round we hoped for a noticeable change, but life had other plans. Just like before, (if you have been following us for a while the last time he went through treatment of Opdivo only, he got sick too). Since immunotherapy…

Embracing Anxiety: A Journey to Thrive

In the quiet moments of our lives, anxiety can sometimes roar like a storm, unexpected and overwhelming. It’s a sensation that many of us are intimately familiar with—a racing heart, shallow breaths, a knot in the stomach. Yet, despite its often-disruptive presence, anxiety doesn’t have to be a complete threat; it can be a guide,…

My honest opinion was that the whole idea was a waste of money and I’d much rather sleep in my own bed. I hate even spending the money to go out of town and have to buy a hotel room, just another peeve of mine. Can anyone relate? I could see the relaxation potential in…

We Need an Update

I know, I have totally been slacking on my blog post lately! Juggling life is not easy most of the time and it’s been since December that I gave a true update on Todd’s health…wow this year keeps getting faster and crazier! In August, it had been a whole year since Todd’s last PET scan.…

Life is Crazy

What has happened to 2020 and the momentum I had in January? I cannot believe half the year flew by and better yet, I really can’t believe that it’s been a year since we went to Mexico for Todd’s cancer treatment. I have had some very emotional times lately with reminiscing about our trip and…

Homeschool

This seemed like the perfect time to publish this post… I’m sure a lot of people think I am crazy for homeschooling! And until this past year, I would have thought the same thing for myself. Really, I would have never seen this coming and it took a lot to get me here. Elementary school…
