Walking through cancer with faith & hope 🤍

08/11/2026

It's been an interesting year filled with every emotion & feeling, research, dietary and lifestyle changes, and travel. I've been learning about all of the different healing modalities, I've had hard conversations, I have had to set different and new boundaries, I'm processing and walking through grief and trauma that I've repressed starting from childhood. I've been diving deeper into the spirit realm learning about and breaking off generational sin, bloodline curses and closing access points. I've been making connections to people and discovering the many different ways God and my body communicates with me. It's been daunting but the process has enabled me to become a better person...to myself and others.

I started journaling in February so I can keep track of all the things....the mental struggles (this has been the greatest battle), the blessings (oh, so many!), the confirmations that I continuously request and the Lord so graciously grants in often unique or interesting ways, and anything else I feel prompted to write whenever I'm lead to do so.

Throughout this process I've started learning about the endocannabinoid system and it's role within our body. On August 29, 2025 I called around to some of our local medical cannabis dispensaries searching for any possible help and information I could receive because this was all very new to me. And, in fact, I had learned about it soon after diagnosis (June 20, 2025) but was very hesitant to implement cannabis and was dragging my feet on doing so. The day I started calling around was on a Friday and it's because several times that week I had medical cannabis and it's healing potential "land in my lap" through very different resources....I'm discovering this is one way God communicates with me. He knows me so well and knows that I need constant nudges before I realize, "Oh, hey, okay, maybe there's something to this and I'm finally listening." This has been with many things regarding cancer....essiac tea, fasting, energy healing just to name a few others. When I called Country Boy - Biloxi, it was a call that literally changed my life. The most helpful and compassionate person (Tara) answered and listened to my story with where I was at in the moment, my newfound info and admitted ignorance regarding cannabis, and graciously allowed me to kickstart implementing cannabis into my protocol. It was important for me to do everything the "right way" as I do value the law and want to be upholding with clear conscious and integrity. She even guided me with those steps to take! They partnered with me a year ago and have never left my side. It was truly an honor to have this interview and I hope that it will shed some light on the options out there for medical cannabis as well as the impacts that the caps (% of thc content and monthly allotment, these caps are detrimental to someone diagnosed with certain cancers such as tnbc) have...you DO NOT have to get high to utilize the benefits of the cannabis plant. Thank you, Country Boy, for your investment into my life, the life of others, allowing me to share a piece of my story, and helping pave the way for plant medicine ❤️

I also want to acknowledge that all who are a part of the medical cannabis industry truly have a passion for the people, based on my experience. Everyone I've encountered from cultivators to budtenders to dispensaries all want to see people healed...that's the goal. Not monetary gain. They are not supporting those who continue to bandaid a symptom instead getting to the root cause and a potential cure. There are some pretty awesome people I've been connected to and I am looking forward to enriching those relationships and fostering change for healthcare. Holistic and natural living has been a continuous process for me since 2012 from an autoimmune diagnosis. I've been living without meds and against the odds ever since... and continuing along the journey ❤️

May this interview point you to God, be somewhat informative, enlightening, and empower you to step out of fear and into faith 💚 Please share this with anyone who may find value in it. Thank you ❤️

In March, my in-laws gave me a jar with notes inside of scripture and words of encouragement. I made it to the end of my jar tonight and this last note was just what I needed ❤️ Now, I'll add them all back and start over 🥰

15 weeks/105 days and bleeding/leaking/draining has stopped! Rejoicing and so thankful! 🙌

✨️ normal bathing/showering
✨️ restoring normal sleep
✨️ no more messes
✨️ no more open wounds
✨️ less to be aware and mindful of

FYI maxipads and panty liners are the best for absorption! Much better and easier to manage than the medical supplies.

This healing journey continues. ❤️
I'm finally nearing recovery from my last surgery, and this season is all about healing my mind, body, and spirit.
One question I get asked often is where things stand now. Following surgery, there is currently no evidence of disease, and I am so thankful for that answered prayer. Now my focus is supporting my body, reducing the risk of recurrence, and continuing to heal from the inside out.
I truly couldn't have made it this far without all of you. Whether you've prayed, donated, shared my story, sent a message, brought a meal, or simply made me smile—you've been part of this journey. Thank you.
We're now exploring the possibility of traveling out of state to work with a naturopathic doctor or integrative treatment center. I've done the best I can with the resources available to me, but I know it's time to seek additional guidance.
If you feel led, I'd be incredibly grateful if you would:
❤️ Pray for wisdom and continued healing.
❤️ Share this post.
❤️ Donate through the GoFundMe
Your generosity has helped provide supplements, therapies, appointments, and so much hope for my family.
Cancer was never something I wanted, but it has become the catalyst for a deeper appreciation of faith, life, and the incredible community surrounding us.
Thank you for continuing to walk this road with me. ❤️

Hunky hunk had a morning date planned for us yesterday 🥰 It began with walking the bridge. The weather was perfect, I was with my favorite person, and we were somewhere I love being....in nature! Every day is better than the last 💪🏻🙏🏻🤍

I had my 20 year high-school reunion on Saturday. I went back-and-forth for weeks on the decision to attend. For several different reasons. But, I hit up my BFF, Heather, and we went together. Just like we did for our 10 year 🥰

Regret was the driving force behind the decision to go. I didn't want to live with it if I chose not to. We got all dolled up (my precious littles were in awe of seeing me so "fancy" 😁❤️) and made our way to the venue. What I did not expect was the overwhelming anxiety I had soon after getting there. Within minutes the shakes started. My mind was racing. I had to get to the bathroom just to breathe. Heather was by my side the whole time. She candidly snapped this picture and I'm glad she did.

At this particular moment, I was hunched over crying so the tears would fall to the ground instead of down my face. Hoping that would make it less noticeable. I started this page to be completely transparent, vulnerable, and to share my experiences as well as what I learn along the way. This is real. And I can't really articulate why I was feeling the way I was. Other than the whole process being overwhelming. Trying to wear a "normal" bra to look symmetrical, dressing in a way I don't usually, seeing people I haven't seen in a long time, still healing from surgery, not living the same type of lifestyle as I once did......who knows. Probably all of these reasons. It took me about 5-10 minutes to feel all of the feelings and regain composure. I was fine after that. Even in spite of that, I'm so glad I went. And I don't have regret ❤️

I recorded this after the May 7th oncology appointment regarding the circulating tumor cell blood draw. Although these tests provide great insight, they're not telling of the whole story. You can still have cancer with a "0/negative" reading/result and it can show positive but with no detectable masses. So, then what? You have to have peace with the decisions you make and let that peace be your guide. Live well 🫶🏼❤️

This was day 13 post-op. Pain really started setting in this day. It progressively got worse. The nerve block from surgery was wearing off and those nerve endings started "waking up". As life has continued to move forward, my responsibilities have also increased. Therefore I'm using my arm more which I'm sure contributes to the pain. "I praise you in the pain" has been my go-to phrase for years when dealing with physical ailments 🙏🏻❤️ God hears our cries, can heal our suffering, and His timing is always perfect
