Hi! Today is my last day as a cancer fighter.
Tomorrow, I will be a cancer survivor. It feels kinda like a birthday. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life ☀️
Thank you for being here over the last 2 years. Y’all rock! XOXO!

- CHEMO ✅ 🏁 Please know that if you’ve checked in or given me encouragement via tweet, DM, txt, call, hug, card, email, flowers, care package, coffee date, or anything in between- you helped get me through some of the hardest days of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️!
00:00 - All checked in for my last day of radiation which should also be my last day of cancer treatment, like, ever! Holding back the happy tears! 🥹
- It looks like we’re heading to the beach or vacation but we’re actually heading to my last round of chemo… which is equally as exciting 😆🌴🥳
- Super exciting day today! I finished my first segment of radiation! 🥳 (& segment 2 is only 5 sessions!) AND my new wig came in! I can’t explain how good it feels to recognize the person in the mirror again! ✨ Happy Thursday, friends 😘
- Round 3 of chemo today! If all goes to plan, we’ve hit the halfway mark! 🥳 I’m definitely starting to have more bad days than good. & my lab results are showing that my body is really going through it 😅 I’m so thankful for my badass care team & support system. online & irl! 😘
- Day 1 of radiation treatment ☢️ If my math is right, I have about 30 rounds total. Every day for 6ish weeks. I will keep y’all updated if I develop any superpowers 🦸♀️ So ready to close this chapter of my life. I want to be a normal 26 year old again. I’m exhausted. 🫠
- ✨LAST DAY OF CHEMO THREAD (So I don’t flood your timeline with cancer stuff) Taking the checkered flag today! 🏁 As always, for a true & unfiltered version of today’s adventures- go to my IG story 🤠😂
- I’m continuing to pack our apartment up while Travis is in FL and I am actually having a great time because not too long ago Travis was having to feed me and help me shower. & now here I am moving furniture and boxes by myself I LITERALLY CANNOT HELP BUT CHEESE 😁 (fu cancer 😘)
- THANK YOU for all of the love! ❤️ Breast Cancer treatment starts tomorrow with a left side mastectomy. They’re letting me keep the right one for now. 😆 I cannot express how much I appreciate the support @TrBraden and I have received. We feel the love! ❤️
00:00 - REUNITED. 😆 Took the checkered flag for round 1 of chemo! The entire appointment only took about 4 hours. Everyone was so wonderful & the process wasn’t half as bad as I thought it would be. I’ve heard day 4 is when it’s gonna hit me. But for now, I feel ok! 💪🏻
