My Cancer Journey Journal

Day 89

We were planning to go hiking today but woke up to find Bodie with a severely swollen neck. Steve later admitted that something had either bitten or stung Bodie while I was feeding the horses and Steve was walking Bo. I knew something was wrong last night when Bodie refused a treat. Steve said he was too full but Bodie never gets full. This is how it looks now after several Benadryl. It’s gradually getting better and he’s eating fine now.

Must Read Introduction

I started this blog four years ago when I was 62. At that time, it was a means of tracing my health and fitness goals and titled Living With Intention. I'm happy to say that I did get fit with the help of our local gym and my fitness trainer. I did improve my diet and lost over 65 pounds. Everything was going great until last year when I was diagnosed with a return of endrometrial cancer that had metasicized to my lungs. Needless to say, my entire world changed. I'm now eight months in and my once strong, fit body is now exhausted with the least exertion. It's been an emotional and physically trying journey. So, I started this journal to not just help me but to help others who are traveling the same path and to help their loved ones to understand what the cancer patient is feeling. I've now been in both positions and I know how lost I've felt dealing with both so hopefully, I can help others avoid some of that and to know they are not alone.
