🎃🔪 Hubby thought he was hilarious hiding a Michael Myers mask in our front door wreath to scare me! 😱😂 Luckily, I spotted it before he got the reaction he wanted! 🤣

I keep telling this man to STOP trying to scare me! Especially since my last heart test found a SHADOW that could be an actual shadow OR a scar from a previous heart attack. 😳❤️

SAY WHAT?!?! Between cancer and my heart, I don’t need Michael Myers trying to finish me off! 💀🤣

Sir, LET ME LIVE!!! 😂😂😂

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🖤

🎃👻 Well, apparently my hubby thinks Halloween isn’t scary enough, so he decided to add a little Michael Myers to our door🔪😱

He hid a Michael Myers mask right inside the wreath on our front door, thinking he was going to scare the living daylights out of me. 😂

Joke’s on him… I spotted it before it got the reaction he was hoping for! 🤣🙌

I keep telling this man to STOP 🛑 trying to scare me. I’m not sure he understands that a jump scare could turn into an actual medical emergency! That would be a payback of huge proportions 😂

Especially considering my last heart 💟test revealed a little something they’re calling a “SHADOW”! Apparently, it could either be an actual shadow OR a scar on my heart from a previous heart attack.

SAY WHAT?!?! 😳😳😳

So let me get this straight… I’m fighting cancer, my heart may have some Halloween history of its own, and now I have to watch out for Michael Myers hiding in my wreath?!?

Michael Giemza I love you, but PLEASE LET ME LIVE! 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Halloween, y’all! 🎃🖤👻

💔 Cancer, I’m OVER your nonsense! 😂💊🏥

I’m tired of treatment schedules, side effects, and making plans with an asterisk. 📝🎱

Sometimes I just want to be ME, live spontaneously, and say YES without consulting the Magic 8 Ball! 🤣

I can be grateful for another day and STILL be fed up with cancer. Both can be true. 🙏❤️

Still laughing. Still praying. Still living. NOT TODAY OR TOMORROW, SATAN! ✝️🔥

That’s . 🦓💜

❤️ The Man Behind My Fight ❤️

Cancer may have changed so much about my life, but one thing I am forever grateful for is the man standing beside me through it all.

My husband is more than my partner. He is my safe place on the hard days, my biggest supporter when I feel defeated, and the person who sees the pain that I don’t always have the words to explain.

Living with incurable cancer is hard in ways that are difficult to put into words. There are days filled with pain, exhaustion, uncertainty, and emotions that even I struggle to understand. Cancer affects more than the person diagnosed. It touches the people who love us, too.

My husband didn’t sign up for this journey any more than I did. Yet here we are, facing it together. After all these years, he continues to remind me that I am not walking this road alone.

Sometimes love isn’t a grand gesture. Sometimes it’s simply staying, holding my hand, being patient on the difficult days, and loving me through a life neither of us ever imagined.

I wish cancer had never entered our story. But I am so thankful I have him beside me as we continue writing it.

Cancer may be part of our story, but it will never define the love we share. ❤️

Unfortunately I had to post this on my personal page yesterday…

💔 Let me make something clear…

If you are my so-called “friend” and you haven’t reached out to me, knowing I’m struggling with cancer, but you suddenly have something negative to say about my political affiliations, that tells me everything I need to know. 💥

We can all vote how we want to vote. That’s our right, and I respect that. I have friends from different political parties, of all colors and races, because I believe people are more than their political beliefs. ❤️🇺🇸 We don’t have to agree on everything to treat one another with kindness and respect.

🤯Sadly, this hasn’t happened just once. It has happened to me several times, even through Facebook Messenger. People who haven’t checked on me or asked how I’m doing while I fight cancer somehow find the time to send negative messages & or comments about my political affiliations.

Let that sink in.

🇺🇸 We live in a country where we have the freedom to vote for whom we choose. I don’t expect everyone to think like me, and I don’t judge someone’s worth by how they vote. We can disagree politically and still be decent human beings to one another.

But if you have time to criticize my political affiliations and judge me for how I vote, yet you can’t take a moment to ask how I’m doing while I fight cancer, then maybe we need to rethink this ‘friendship’.

Life is too short to surround myself with people who care more about my vote than my well-being.

You’re entitled to your opinions, just as I am entitled to mine. But you are not entitled to a place at my table if all you bring is judgment and negativity.

You could still be in my fan club, but don’t drink the hateraid at my table.

So, do us both a favor and delete me. 👋

You’re not a friend. You’re a fan. And I’m no longer interested in entertaining people who watch my life from the sidelines just to criticize me. 💯

💜 The Side of Cancer You Don’t Always See 🦓

I wanted to share a picture of myself during one of the moments when I’m struggling. 💔

Living with cancer isn’t always about being strong, staying positive, or smiling through the hard days. Sometimes, it’s about being exhausted, hurting, feeling overwhelmed, and trying to get through one moment at a time.

There are days when the physical and emotional weight of this journey is simply too much. And that’s okay to admit. I don’t share these moments for sympathy. I share them because cancer is so much more than what people see on the outside.

Behind the smiles, the family pictures, and the everyday moments are battles that many people will never fully understand.

I’m still me. I’m still a wife, a mom, a friend, and a woman who wants to live, laugh, make memories, and enjoy every beautiful moment life has to offer. But I’m also a woman living with two rare, incurable cancers, and some days are harder than others.

Regardless of the bad days, I know I am still blessed. 🙏❤️ I am blessed with a family who loves me, people who care, memories I cherish, and the gift of another day to experience this beautiful life. My struggles don’t erase my blessings, and my gratitude doesn’t mean the hard days don’t hurt. Both can be true at the same time.

If you’re fighting your own battle, please know you don’t have to pretend to be okay all the time. You can be grateful and struggling. You can be hopeful and exhausted. You can be strong and still have days when you fall apart.

This is my reality. Not every day is pretty, and not every picture tells a happy story. Sometimes, sharing the hard moments is part of telling the whole story. 💜🦓

Sometimes, the most meaningful ideas come from people who understand the struggle firsthand. 💚

Soothe Note was founded in 2026 by two high school friends, Teddy Aaron and Brynn Forlizzi, who experienced cancer from two different perspectives. Brynn is a cancer survivor, and Teddy understands the challenges of caring for a loved one with cancer. Together, they wanted to make life a little easier for patients and caregivers. 💚

📱 What does Soothe Note do?

💊 Helps organize medications, doses, and reminders.
🗓️ Keeps appointments, questions, and doctor visit notes in one place.
📝 Provides private journaling and tools to prepare reports for medical appointments.
🤝 Helps patients share selected updates with trusted caregivers.

Best of all, Soothe Note is FREE for cancer patients and caregivers! 💚

As someone living with cancer, I know how overwhelming it can be to keep track of symptoms, medications, appointments, and all the questions that come to mind between doctor visits. Having these details organized in one place can make a real difference.

What makes this app especially meaningful is that it was created by young people who saw a need and decided to do something about it. Their mission is a beautiful reminder that even in the midst of cancer, compassion, friendship, and innovation can make a difference. 💚🎗️

❤️ Finding My Way Back to Me |

Cancer changed so much about me, and this past year brought another battle when I spent eight and a half months semi-paralyzed, unsure if I’d ever regain sensation in my legs and stomach.

After my pain doctor and a colleague explored a possible explanation, we decided to remove all the pain medication from pain pump. Within two and a half weeks, sensation began returning. An answered prayer and a HUGE blessing for my family and me! 🙏❤️

These past several weeks, I’ve started feeling glimpses of the woman I was before cancer took so much.

I’m learning to embrace the good days without fearing what tomorrow might bring.

Sometimes, when you’ve been in the valley so long, you forget you’re trying to get to the mountain. ❤️



First pick this month before I got diagnosed last week a few days ago.

🙏❤️ PRAYER WARRIORS, WE NEED YOU! ❤️🙏

I’m asking everyone to please lift up a very special young lady in prayer. 🙏 My friend’s daughter has been fighting cancer, and right now, she could really, really use all the prayers, love, and support we can send her way. ❤️‍🩹

Cancer is such a difficult battle, not only for the person fighting it but for the entire family who loves them. 💔 Today, I’m asking you to take a moment to pray for her healing, her strength, her comfort, and for peace for her family during this difficult time.

🙏 Pray for miracles.
❤️ Pray for strength.
✝️ Pray for hope when things feel overwhelming.
🕊️ Pray for peace that only God can provide.

The Bible reminds us in Matthew 18:20 that where two or three gather in His name, He is there among them. Let’s surround this sweet girl and her family with an outpouring of love and prayers. ❤️🙏

If you believe in the power of prayer, please stop scrolling for a moment and say a prayer for her today. And if you feel comfortable, leave a ❤️ or 🙏 in the comments so her family can see just how many people are lifting them up.

Let’s show them they are NOT fighting alone. ❤️🙏✝️

💥😑It’s been a busy week well a busy week for me. Started the week out by celebrating my birthday. I went to a garden club meeting, volunteered at the fair and did a little bit yardwork, well supervised my daughter‘s boyfriend doing work. Trying to make small gains as I can. 💥💥
