June 2021 diagnosed with terminal cancer

The very last picture is 10/23/25 what a journey it’s been from not walking in a power chair to where I am today!

2025/10/25 Edited to

... Read moreReceiving a terminal cancer diagnosis is undoubtedly one of life’s most challenging moments. For many, the journey afterward involves not only medical treatments but also psychological and physical adjustments. In this context, documenting progress over time can offer vital hope and motivation. Starting from June 2021, the transition from being unable to walk to utilizing a power chair by October 2025 reflects a remarkable path of adaptation and determination. Power chairs provide crucial mobility support for individuals facing physical limitations resulting from illness or treatment side effects. They enhance independence, allowing people to navigate daily life with greater ease and confidence. Aside from mobility aids, the journey through terminal cancer often encompasses multidisciplinary care — including pain management, physical therapy, nutrition counseling, and emotional support. Patients may engage in rehabilitation programs aimed at preserving muscle strength and improving quality of life despite disabilities. Sharing such personal experiences not only empowers the individual but also resonates with others confronting similar health challenges. It fosters a sense of community and provides practical insight into coping mechanisms and adaptive technologies. Ultimately, every incremental achievement, such as moving from immobility to assisted movement, symbolizes courage and resilience. This story reminds us how advancements in medical care, combined with personal will, can transform the cancer journey into one of hope, meaningful milestones, and continued engagement with life.

cancer lies we’re told
There are so many things people think they know about cancer… until they live it or love someone through it. As a thyroid cancer survivor, I’ve heard it all… 🚩 “It’s the good cancer” 🚩 “You don’t look sick” 🚩 “You’re fine now, right?” Truth is, cancer doesn’t follow a script and the myths

Things I thought were personality traits until I got diagnosed with ADHD
So many of us grow up thinking our struggles are “just our personality.” In reality, ADHD (and AuDHD) traits get mislabeled, misunderstood, or even punished, while we internalize shame. Getting the right diagnosis doesn’t erase those experiences, but it gives us a new lens: I wasn’t broken. My bra

Living with MCAS, EDS, and POTS has taught me that healing doesn’t always look like pushing harder. 💜 Rest is productive. 💜 Hydration isn’t optional. 💜 “Looking healthy” doesn’t mean feeling healthy. 💜 It’s okay to cancel plans when your body says no. 💜 Small wins deserve to be celebrated.
