to hear my story:

Upon first hearing the news, ‘you have cancer,’ by my new oncologist in the office, of late January of 2026, I am very thankful both my boyfriend Rick as well as my mom were right there by my side. It’s not news anyone wishes to face alone. 

​

It is NOT news you or anyone else wishes to hear at all.



I am not sure what I am feeling- then or now- 
shock? 
Anger? 
Or just numbness? 

A part of me, felt disconnected, in disbelief, thinking, “this cannot be happening?” When it first began, even to till day.
 


I never smoked, except in my late twenties, back in the bar days. Although, as weird and fake as this sounds, I never truly inhaled. 

My dad, Alex was in AA, quit drinking when I was about eight years old. Admired, when he did quite there was no in-between time, back and forth. He put down the drink, joined AA, and that was it. 

Dad smoked though. Died at fifty-two, of lung cancer.
