Keep Your Friends Close

by admin / April 14, 2016

The other day when I was in the elevator, a man in my building told me that I look different and asked if I got a Keratin treatment done to my hair. For those of you non-miamians reading this, Keratin is a straightening treatment that a lot of women in Miami have done to their hair, to humidity/frizz proof it. I laughed and told him that it’s a wig and I actually have Lymphoma. Like every other person that I…

Life goes on during Chemo!

by admin / April 7, 2016

Let me tell you a secret about life. It’s not about how someone prepares for everything to go right, it’s about how someone handles everything going completely wrong. Let’s all agree that chemo is no walk in the park. You can let it defeat you until your treatment is up, or you can let it empower you, the choice is yours. I created this blog to help motivate people going through cancer and let them know that they aren’t in…

Tuesday’s with Jessi 

by admin / April 5, 2016

I try to live as normal of a life as possible. So normal, that sometimes I completely forget that I have lymphoma. It’s 50% mental. I met an amazing girl on Instagram that follows my blog, she ended up living in Boston. My friend from Boston was visiting me, so I thought it would be perfect to have my friend deliver a small chemo care package to her before her first chemo session. As I was trying to write her…

Dr. X-Ex’s-And other men

by admin / April 4, 2016

There comes a point in your life where everyone you have dated in the past just becomes water under the bridge. As women, we’ve all dated our fair share of men who are under par, people that just aren’t good for us. Our friends and family can tell us as many times as they want that the person we are dating isn’t good for us. But we don’t listen, and we have to experience this for ourselves. We’ve all been…

Keep it moving, even with Cancer.

by admin / April 2, 2016

Being a young, single Cancer patient, your first instinct is to freak out and think “I have cancer, what now? No one is ever going to want to date me!” Again, dating shouldn’t be a priority–getting better should. I don’t want to down play my symptoms because I have them all — my neuropathy in my hands is insane, I can barely feel them. I have excruciating stomach pain, I’m exhausted, I get nauseous, etc. I have the same symptoms…

Avoid the Chemo Blues

by admin / March 30, 2016

I may seem like the most optimistic person ever, but trust me. I have my days too where chemo gets to me, I’m in a bad mood, I’m sad, and I don’t want to get out of bed. I’m not going to lie, I was in bed all day today. Chemo sucks, but you can either lay in bed and cry about it for 6 months, or get off your booty and do something about it. Here is what helped…

Chemo & Little Miracles

by admin / March 29, 2016

Just when we think we have everything figured out, the universe throws us unexpected curveballs. Just when we think we have our chemo regimen figured out and a week off of chemo, life throws us an unexpected curve ball. That’s the thing about chemo, you never know what’s going to happen next, just like life. Which is why I choose to still wear crop tops even though I’m 29, with my safety mask on, while walking my dog..kidding but seriously.…

Hair Loss, talk chemo to me.

by admin / March 28, 2016

Losing your hair sucks. I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s awful. As if feeling like complete crap from chemo isn’t bad enough, having your hair fall out in chunks all over your floor and in your hands is not a fun feeling. I give major credit to all of the women out there who immediately shaved their heads after diagnosis. I couldn’t bring myself to do it, and I’m glad I didn’t. Even though it was awful, and…

It’s up to you to be a hero!

by admin / March 24, 2016

Just because you go through hell doesn’t mean you have to stay there. Whether you have cancer, you’re sick, you’ve lost a friend, a family member, a job, even a significant other, you are responsible for how you handle your situation. You can let your situation destroy you or empower you, it’s your choice. It’s so easy to call it quits and just not get out of bed in the morning. Even though I’m technically in remission, I’m still not…

I got it from my mama!

by admin / March 23, 2016

My Hematologist is undoubtedly one of the brightest research physicians in the Lymphoma specialty. He may have the worst bed side manner I’ve ever seen, and he may or may not dislike me, but he saved my life. Because of his clinical knowledge, he literally saved my life after two rounds of intense chemotherapy. If he would have given me the standard ABVD treatment, I wouldn’t have had a chance. Because of him, I was able to celebrate my 29th…
