💜Sharing something personal today 💜
In 2023, I ended up in the hospital with the worst pain of my life. And I mean the worst — I’ve been through labor and this pain brought me to my knees. Months of doctors, different opinions and me finally saying: something is wrong.
By October 2024, I found out I had multiple ovarian cysts filled with blood and endometriosis. On top of that, one blood test came back high and suddenly I was being referred to City of Hope for possible cancer. I was scared and overwhelmed. I didn’t really tell anyone — partly because I’m superstitious and partly because I didn’t want to believe it.
My doctor said if he were me, he’d remove everything. And the scariest part? They wouldn’t know for sure about cancer until they got inside. That month of waiting was awful — I couldn’t sleep, I was anxious, scared and honestly just exhausted.
The morning of surgery, I opened my Bible app and the verse that popped up was exactly what I needed. t that moment, I knew God was with me. My dad took me to surgery and the plan was: if they found cancer, they’d open me up and do what they could.
By the grace of God — no cancer. 🙌 I had a full hysterectomy and tons of scar tissue removed (it was so bad everything was fused together — even my re**um- thankfully they were able to detach without issues… that would’ve been literally sh*tty 😂).
Recovery wasn’t easy. I couldn’t sit up by myself at first, so my bestie rigged a setup to help me. I shuffled around my front yard with a walker until one day I didn’t need it anymore. Three months later, I finally felt strong enough to exercise again… and then fractured a rib on day one (of course 🙄). Hormone therapy has been its own rollercoaster, but I’m figuring it out.
Through it all, my family and friends have been amazing. From texts and calls to gifts and prayers, I felt so loved and supported. I’ll never forget that. 💜 I’ll never forget each and every one of you 🫶
