After Effects of Chemo

You never know how things will effect you until a couple days later. Chemo whoops my a$! every other week for at least a week. The nerve pain is indescribable!! It's like thousands of electric shocks 24/7! I can't grip things, open my medications, or actually type on my phone; I have to use my stylus. Then, the feet, Lawd Hammercy!! They stay puffy, swollen, and sometimes hurt when I put shoes on. Next, the nausea & not being able to taste food, drink, anything🤦🏾‍♀️where do I begin!! It sucks!! Finally, the body as a whole is just defeated. My bones and joints hurt like I have a undiscovered flu strain!! That's the best way to describe it. My body hurts like I have the flu to the 125th power😔

It just takes a toll on my spirit & heart ya know. There aren't any days where you feel like your old self. Like NONE😔 
There are only a few days (maybe 4) that I will feel like going places, but then it's time for chemo again. CHEMO😡🤬!! It's hard but it's worth it to save my life, and kill this cancer to prevent it from spreading.

      I'm not really sure. I think it's more personal.

A Surgery Date...Finally!!!!

 💯Man, this is so crazy yo!!💯  I've been waiting for this date for over a year.  November 3, 2020, will be like a rebirth for me physically.  Like, I am actually excited, nervous, anxious, etc.  I mean this is one of the biggest surgeries I have ever had.  I mean the mastectomy was a huge deal, but this is Breast DIEP Flap surgery; DIEP stands for Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator.  With the DIEP Flap surgery the lower abdominal skin and fat is removed without having to harvest any of the rectus abdominis muscle.  Then, with the skin and fat from my stomach the plastic surgeons will reconstruct me a new breast, and perform a lift on the other breast to make them even.  Oh and I will be having my stomach muscles tightened up and hernia removed as well.  I won't have a bellybutton, but my plastic surgeon says he can make me a pretty one a later date!!!   I can't lie ya girl is LIT ASF about getting this surgery done, but more...

✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾I'm Baaaaaack.....NewLifeWhoDis‼️‼️‼️

 Hey Y'all it's the WarriorQueen!!  Sorry I've been off my issue, but I'm back now and baby I've been busy!! As the Executive Producer of Word On Da Street W/Judah....we have been blessed.  I've been doing good health wise, but my A1C number is high and in the Prediabetic stages. So, I'm monitoring my sugar intake until I get a chance to get to a PCP.  Now, since the Rona has gained momentum once again things have slowed down...ughhhhhhh!!!! Folks were so ready to turn up, and now look...we are all going right back in the house‼️💯 This pandemic has taught ya girl a lot; especially about herself. I've learned patience on a Jedi Master level frfr🤣🤣🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ I've also learned that being a Boss & a Powerful Black Woman just makes the misogyny jump right on up out of some of these men, and to be honest in 2021 it's kind of disgusting. I've never been a weak Woman in ever, and I Damn sure won't start now!!!! I am the Executive Produ...

I'm going to beat this, period!! Yesterday was chemo day, and I'm not feeling it at all. I'm so tired,  nauseous, swollen, and achy. I'm also losing my hair now, and it takes about a week for it to be completely gone. Not sure how I feel about this tbh. I'm glad I'm shaved my head so that I'm be kinda prepared. I think I would've freaked out finding chunks of hair in my bed or on my pillow. This feeling of going to sleep and waking up with cancer is crazy as heck!! It's hard for me not to feel lonely because no one can really understand what I'm going through. But, my support system is absolutely amazing!! I couldn't ask for anything more. It's just so hard because I still try to be like I wa before cancer. I try to do things, be active,  and when I do too much my body will sit me down. The mind is willing, but the body isn't. Let's not mention eating...ugh!! Nothing has taste, and nausea won't let me be great!! So, I drin...
