The Symptoms Chapter 9

As I’m learning more about how this dis-ease works I have been able to reflect on the signs I missed. I’ve been reading that cancer actually starts 8-10 years before a lump ever forms, I’ve also read a lot about it being a metabolic disorder, and a big part of it is living in fight...

What Legacy? Chapter 3

If you’re finding this for the first time and would like to catch up I’ve started putting chapter numbers in the titles to make it easier to follow.

Prelude to a bad week Chapter 2

To continue on with my current state we are going to need some history on this lump I have so other women will know what to look for with themselves so they don’t have to go through this like I am. Last August I thought I broke a tooth after feeling a nice sharp groove... Continue Reading →

They started it

Looking back through my life and trying to figure out how and where to start my story has been really difficult for me to do. It would be easy to write out that my dad abandoned my brother and I and my mom completely ignored us unless there was an audience but that doesn’t go... Continue Reading →

Collateral Damage

Gosh, it’s sure been a while since I’ve written. It’s like the further I go into healing from my childhood the less I write about it. I end up frozen and defeated and feeling less than alive, and quite often wonder if my brother made the better decision by ending his suffering. Knowing what I... Continue Reading →
