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.
