Life Update

August 16th, 2020 at 06:27 pm

I have been trying to figure out a new normal. It has not been easy. I feel like I do not have a purpose when I am not working. It is hard to stay focused or busy when I do not have a family to raise either. If it were not for the pandemic, I might have found a place to volunteer. I do plan on looking into this further.

Anyhow, I finally decided I needed some sort of routine, even if it was simple. I am doing this and it has helped my mental status, although I do have chemo brain. I am accepting I have physical limitations due to neuropathy.

At the least, I take two ten minute walks, read for an hour and clean for at least twenty minutes.

Financially, all is well. It is cheap living at my dads. I also just got a huge discount on car insurance due to auto reform here in Michigan. My insurance is now half of what it was.

Next follow up with my oncologist is mid-September. I should remain NED (No evidence of disease) because I am on a PARP inhibitor. It was found I am BRCA 1. Breast cancer runs in my dad's side of the family (his mother's side). I was the first to get ovarian cancer though.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone. I have been keeping up with reading the blogs.
