I saw a post that said "17 more Saturdays until Christmas!" and as much as I live Christmas, I don't want the year to fly by this quickly! I want to ENJOY each day and it's hard to do that when you're rushing from one thing to the next.
You would be surprised at how much more enjoyable each day is when you take the TIME to notice a gorgeous tree, smell a really pretty flower (so cliche, I know) or take a deep breathe of fresh air in the beautiful sunshine.
Three things I'm grateful for today are: finding my youngest a great therapist, getting to my oncology appointment on time after fun school drop offs (even though she's late 😂), and I'm actually really proud of myself and grateful for my brain for figuring out my school stuff and learning an incredible amount in just a few days so far. I'm excited for the rest of the year! And praying I did the APA notations correctly 🙈
As Benson Boone says "slooooooowwwwww it down!"
Happy Blursday,

What a swollen week it's been! Finally back to normal, still with no explanation of WHY lymphadema happens but they're being a little too casual and even refused my request for an echocardiogram 😤 I have an oncology meeting tomorrow and will ask again.
So I really do use and believe in all the things I share! I lay on my Biomat daily (Amy Poehler is also a big fan of hers) to help circulation, reduce inflammation and detox through sweat. It's amazing. Comment BIOMAT to get a link.
The Lymphatic Cream is from a family run, organic, wholesome company called Earthley. I'm a huge fan of all of their creams and tinctures and swear by their Cough-Be-Gone during that season. For a link to the cream comment LYMPH.
The compression boots my mother sent me from Amazon. They're called CinCom? There's quite a few options but I don't think you need anything fancy. Same with the vibration plate and rebounder. Those you can usually find at goodwill or Facebook marketplace for a steal of a price.
GO GET IN NATURE! Literally every chance you can! Get sunshine on your skin! Put your bare feet on the Earth! Then come home and elevate 🙌
Anything else you would add? All of these worked for me but maybe there's something else that worked for you? We're here to help each other!
Hoping you aren't swollen today either,

It's the end of cancer yay! That's the thoughts in my head at least. Call me delusional, call it wishful thinking... maybe it's manifesting?

Living 3 months at a time (that's how often most of us have scans to let us know if the medication is working or not) can definitely effect how you view each day. Hopefully you can find something to appreciate today 🙏
Anything I missed? Eating a good meal without guilt? Getting a great night sleep without sweating through the sheets? Being able to walk without assistance? There's so much some of us have to deal with each day it can feel overwhelming just to take a shower.
I hope you have a fantastic, pain-free, easy rest of 2026 🙏
Going to enjoy nature,
Sierra

Yes that is coffee on my nose 🤦‍♀️ And it had been there for at least 2 hours, all through my leg ultrasound, a trip through Safeway and CVS. Good times.
Pulmonary went well, he said things are looking good and I just need to be patient. The right lung was like a miracle it cleared up so fast but the left lung will definitely take longer. I've been getting really bad shoulder cramps after the drains so he said to go slower and stop earlier. Also draining every day might help the swelling in my foot.
No blood clot/ DVT in my leg which is great but that leaves lymphadema or just a weird swelling for no reason. I remember from reiki the body has opposite side features so the right foot might just be connected to my left lung? Seeing my acupuncturist and integrative doctor on Friday.
PET SCAN! Holy moly Xeloda and the off labels are working 🙏 These pills are a little rough and I actually didn't finish last week all the way because by the end of the week of them I'm exhausted and my lungs are tight and my stomach is a little wonky. But some CBD and aloe fixed that. The lung part sucks though.
Just 2 small spots left - Interval decrease in FDG uptake at scattered skeletal sites, now with uptake similar to background, for example in a lesion in the right side of T1 with current SUV max 2.3 (CT 137), previously
SUV max 3.4. Index lesions which demonstrate uptake above background marrow activity suggesting residual disease include:
-a lesion in the left scapula (CT 160) with max SUV 2.9, previously 3.4.

They're also recommending a brain MRI which scares me (but is on course for Sierra can't just get good news, there always has to be hitch) but I'll schedule it. I'm going to start spacing out scans a little more too, especially after all the emergency room ones.
So that was my day mixed in with Dolly Parton passing (this will take me awhile to recover) and today Tim Curry (Clue is my second favorite movie and I met him in 1987 at the stage door after Me & My Girl for my 11th bday 🤓). Death is hard to handle but even worse when you already have a life threatening disease.
Out of word space,

Do you know this about PET scans?!
I knew we weren't supposed to exercise the days before but we're actually not supposed to practically move at all or it will affect your PET scan results!
There's studies that show ANY movement, even brain activity, before a PET scan can alter the results. This includes READING A BOOK, watching videos on your phone, basic movements like squats or walking quickly, moving your arms, bending and stretching, etc. WHY do they not tell us this before a scan?!
I understand it may not be to the extreme of ANY movement but of there's even a chance of it changing the results we should know about this. So THANK YOU to the follower who sent me this information! We're all here to help each other ❤️
Any other tips or tricks you want to share? Drop them below!
Happy first day of school (to me),

Yesterday was a 10/10 day! Wonderful lunch with my mom and girls at Sears Fine Foods (one of the oldest restaurants in California), walked to the Nintendo store for the girls to get some energy out before the play, absolutely LOVED Hairspray at the SF Playhouse, then had a great dinner at home with my family at the dinner table and watched Good Fortune movie (it was lovely, highly recommend).
It was really emotional for me and I don't know why. Maybe because I'm used to going OUT and I haven't been out in awhile? Maybe it was the pressure to feel "normal" when I don't? Or maybe it was having to get ready in a body I'm not used to? None of my clothes fit how they used to now that I'm 20 pounds lighter and lost my 🍑
So I took a Prozac, pulled up my big girl panties and decided none of that mattered. I deserved to have a good day and that's what I had!
Today I've already showered, washed the dog, drained my lung, juiced and am laying on my Biomat. Definitely a nap coming up.
Not sure what is in store for me this week with the pet scan results and my foot swelling but we'll continue to roll with the punches. So many punches... 🥴
Have a great Sunday,
Sierra

School starts Monday! 🤓
WHHHHYYYYYYY are some textbooks $500?? And yes I've checked eBay and plenty of other sites. That should be illegal.
Also trying to figure out what I owe as their own sites say 2 different things (nothing vs $9137). Hopefully the financial aid loans I received will cover what I owe 🙏
What are you excited about today??
Xoxo,
Sierra

I got invited out by 2 different friends last weekend and normally I don't let an event go by (Queen FOMO over here) but with the surgery last week I'm a little slow to recover. And now I'm kicking myself for missing out on a potential memory!
So I just booked a play and lunch with my kids and mom for Saturday. It's been so long since we've been out together and I need it. Sure I'm missing a PTA event at one kid's school (I do NOT need that) but which event would cause better memories? Yup.
So I triple dog dare you to either invite a friend to go out or say "Yes!" to an invite. You won't regret going!! And getting OUT will change your mood and mindset too. Plus the universe absolutely loves putting the right people in your path so be sure to chat up your neighbors at the restaurant or show too 🌟
Making as many memories as possible,
Sierra

Here's (most of) my supplements!
There's a reason and a season for each one but these are the ones I take daily. I cycle through other mushrooms and also take the beet supplement from Alovea (I swear it gives me super powers 🦸🏼‍♀️) plus off labels that I can't mention here because it gets deleted. So crazy.
Comment ALOE for my favorite supplement ever - the Alovea Immun aloe vera/ Acemannan. It helps fix SO many things in my body and I definitely notice when I'm not taking it. I equate it to Maya Rudolph in Bridesmaids when she's running through the street in her wedding dress and slows down until she stops. It's like that but without the food poisoning 😂
Comment MUSHROOM for the link to Real Mushrooms - they are all hand sourced from the Pacific Northwest, very high quality, excellent minimal processing. They take it all very seriously and really want to help people heal with their plant power 🍄
I buy most of my supplements at our local co-op (Rainbow Grocery) or iHerb (working on a coupon for you) because I trust their sourcing and storage.
I do NOT buy supplements on Amazon for multiple reasons. There's a ton of scammers on there who will make fake labels and bottles with fake pills. I also once ordered fish oil and they were all melted and stuck together and they wouldn't refund me. Finally, it's Amazon. I try to support the smaller guys when I can but still get good prices. Amazon has enough money and market share.
Any questions? I'm so excited to start school again in a week and dig deeper on nutrition and supplements for health and cancer! A lot of these also came from the "How to Starve Cancer" course (linked above) that gives SO much information about your specific disease and genes and mutations.
Happy first day of school tomorrow to those who celebrate,
Sierra
