I'm honestly not sure this test was worth it but the results are interesting. Basically things that we use at hospitals and medical centers to help us get better might be making us sick in a different way...
All of the plastic IV bags, plastic tubes, plastic port, plastic catheter in me that I empty into a plastic bottle, the cleaning supplies (especially the strongly scented ones) could all be adding to our toxic load. And now something I didn't even think about, the medications with time released coating!! Of course there's chemicals on it to withstand our stomach acid. Ugh.
There's some days it feels like we're just doomed. But don't fret! There's plenty of things you can do to detox including exercise, grounding, baths with Epsom salt/bentonite clay, dandelion tea, clean organic fruits and veggies, lots of fresh clean water, SWEATING, dancing/moving/stretching to get your lymphatic system flowing, Biomat, juicing, FFFIIIBBBEEERRRRRR, and for supplements Alovea Immun aloe vera, zeolite, milk thistle, Pectasol C (pay attention to the amounts needed it's A LOT), even vitamin C can help detox and repair.
There's so many tests for everything available out there so if you have all the money in the world, go for it. Honestly I would have rather spent this $300 on something else. I'll let you know what the naturopath says on 9/30.
Taking my frustrated self for a walk,

Anybody else can't sit still in the doctors office?? Too much nervous energy plus I was sitting for awhile waiting do I need to MOVE.
But seriously... these gowns. What the heck?! We are not a "one size fits all" group. At the VERY least have a men's vs women's option? Or big vs small? And cotton not polyester??
Just me being picky while spilling my drink across their keyboard 😂 Nobody (and no keyboard) was harmed in the making of this video.)
What would you change about these?
Hope you're having a pain free, unremarkable weekend,

I saw a post that said "17 more Saturdays until Christmas!" and as much as I live Christmas, I don't want the year to fly by this quickly! I want to ENJOY each day and it's hard to do that when you're rushing from one thing to the next.
You would be surprised at how much more enjoyable each day is when you take the TIME to notice a gorgeous tree, smell a really pretty flower (so cliche, I know) or take a deep breathe of fresh air in the beautiful sunshine.
Three things I'm grateful for today are: finding my youngest a great therapist, getting to my oncology appointment on time after fun school drop offs (even though she's late 😂), and I'm actually really proud of myself and grateful for my brain for figuring out my school stuff and learning an incredible amount in just a few days so far. I'm excited for the rest of the year! And praying I did the APA notations correctly 🙈
As Benson Boone says "slooooooowwwwww it down!"
Happy Blursday,

What a swollen week it's been! Finally back to normal, still with no explanation of WHY lymphadema happens but they're being a little too casual and even refused my request for an echocardiogram 😤 I have an oncology meeting tomorrow and will ask again.
So I really do use and believe in all the things I share! I lay on my Biomat daily (Amy Poehler is also a big fan of hers) to help circulation, reduce inflammation and detox through sweat. It's amazing. Comment BIOMAT to get a link.
The Lymphatic Cream is from a family run, organic, wholesome company called Earthley. I'm a huge fan of all of their creams and tinctures and swear by their Cough-Be-Gone during that season. For a link to the cream comment LYMPH.
The compression boots my mother sent me from Amazon. They're called CinCom? There's quite a few options but I don't think you need anything fancy. Same with the vibration plate and rebounder. Those you can usually find at goodwill or Facebook marketplace for a steal of a price.
GO GET IN NATURE! Literally every chance you can! Get sunshine on your skin! Put your bare feet on the Earth! Then come home and elevate 🙌
Anything else you would add? All of these worked for me but maybe there's something else that worked for you? We're here to help each other!
Hoping you aren't swollen today either,
Sierra

It's the end of cancer yay! That's the thoughts in my head at least. Call me delusional, call it wishful thinking... maybe it's manifesting?

Living 3 months at a time (that's how often most of us have scans to let us know if the medication is working or not) can definitely effect how you view each day. Hopefully you can find something to appreciate today 🙏
Anything I missed? Eating a good meal without guilt? Getting a great night sleep without sweating through the sheets? Being able to walk without assistance? There's so much some of us have to deal with each day it can feel overwhelming just to take a shower.
I hope you have a fantastic, pain-free, easy rest of 2026 🙏
Going to enjoy nature,
Sierra

Yes that is coffee on my nose 🤦‍♀️ And it had been there for at least 2 hours, all through my leg ultrasound, a trip through Safeway and CVS. Good times.
Pulmonary went well, he said things are looking good and I just need to be patient. The right lung was like a miracle it cleared up so fast but the left lung will definitely take longer. I've been getting really bad shoulder cramps after the drains so he said to go slower and stop earlier. Also draining every day might help the swelling in my foot.
No blood clot/ DVT in my leg which is great but that leaves lymphadema or just a weird swelling for no reason. I remember from reiki the body has opposite side features so the right foot might just be connected to my left lung? Seeing my acupuncturist and integrative doctor on Friday.
PET SCAN! Holy moly Xeloda and the off labels are working 🙏 These pills are a little rough and I actually didn't finish last week all the way because by the end of the week of them I'm exhausted and my lungs are tight and my stomach is a little wonky. But some C*D and aloe fixed that. The lung part sucks though.
Just 2 small spots left - Interval decrease in FDG uptake at scattered skeletal sites, now with uptake similar to background, for example in a lesion in the right side of T1 with current SUV max 2.3 (CT 137), previously
SUV max 3.4. Index lesions which demonstrate uptake above background marrow activity suggesting residual disease include:
-a lesion in the left scapula (CT 160) with max SUV 2.9, previously 3.4.

They're also recommending a brain MRI which scares me (but is on course for Sierra can't just get good news, there always has to be hitch) but I'll schedule it. I'm going to start spacing out scans a little more too, especially after all the emergency room ones.
So that was my day mixed in with Dolly Parton passing (this will take me awhile to recover) and today Tim Curry (Clue is my second favorite movie and I met him in 1987 at the stage door after Me & My Girl for my 11th bday 🤓). Death is hard to handle but even worse when you already have a life threatening disease.
Out of word space,

Do you know this about PET scans?!
I knew we weren't supposed to exercise the days before but we're actually not supposed to practically move at all or it will affect your PET scan results!
There's studies that show ANY movement, even brain activity, before a PET scan can alter the results. This includes READING A BOOK, watching videos on your phone, basic movements like squats or walking quickly, moving your arms, bending and stretching, etc. WHY do they not tell us this before a scan?!
I understand it may not be to the extreme of ANY movement but of there's even a chance of it changing the results we should know about this. So THANK YOU to the follower who sent me this information! We're all here to help each other ❤️
Any other tips or tricks you want to share? Drop them below!
Happy first day of school (to me),
Sierra

Yesterday was a 10/10 day! Wonderful lunch with my mom and girls at Sears Fine Foods (one of the oldest restaurants in California), walked to the Nintendo store for the girls to get some energy out before the play, absolutely LOVED Hairspray at the SF Playhouse, then had a great dinner at home with my family at the dinner table and watched Good Fortune movie (it was lovely, highly recommend).
It was really emotional for me and I don't know why. Maybe because I'm used to going OUT and I haven't been out in awhile? Maybe it was the pressure to feel "normal" when I don't? Or maybe it was having to get ready in a body I'm not used to? None of my clothes fit how they used to now that I'm 20 pounds lighter and lost my 🍑
So I took a Prozac, pulled up my big girl panties and decided none of that mattered. I deserved to have a good day and that's what I had!
Today I've already showered, washed the dog, drained my lung, juiced and am laying on my Biomat. Definitely a nap coming up.
Not sure what is in store for me this week with the pet scan results and my foot swelling but we'll continue to roll with the punches. So many punches... 🥴
Have a great Sunday,
Sierra

School starts Monday! 🤓
WHHHHYYYYYYY are some textbooks $500?? And yes I've checked eBay and plenty of other sites. That should be illegal.
Also trying to figure out what I owe as their own sites say 2 different things (nothing vs $9137). Hopefully the financial aid loans I received will cover what I owe 🙏
What are you excited about today??
Xoxo,
Sierra
