Day Five

-

Finally a day that I can put the do not disturb sign on the door and not set an alarm. I was surprised to sleep until 9:30 which was about 10 hours of sleep. HALLELUJAH! We ordered room service for breakfast since I am scared to go in the sun. I got a nice fruit plate and Chilaquiles. Very yummy! 



I enjoyed the view from our room and wrote what I thought would be a personal journal but has somehow turned into a blog. 



This afternoon we went for massages because that is a dark indoor activity. Walking to the spa was funny. I was in long pants and a sweater with the hood on over my ball cap. I totally looked out of place with the people walking to the beach in their bikinis. The massage was a great way to relax and enjoy something about today instead of feeling cooped up in the room. 



I waited for the sun to go down so I can enjoy the pool with no sunlight! Now as I finish this post it is time for 40 minutes of ultra sound and bed.

    You're looking great Kenzie! I love the incognito look while roaming the property. I'm looking forward to future posts and learning about your recovery. God Bless Kenzie and may God Bless Mikayel, and also America!

Magic in Our Bones

It's been almost two weeks since I've been back from Mexico and I must say I love being home. I thought about kissing the floor of LAX when we arrived after the long, delayed travel day but I didn't want to risk the Hepatitis I might contract. I am in a new place in my life that I almost felt never would get here. For so long I was reminiscing about when I was healthy and what it would be like to be able to curl my hair or go out dancing and now those days are getting closer and closer. It's a weird feeling to feel more normal each day instead of waiting for a surgery date or my next chemo appointment. Mikayel and I keep using this analogy that we have been running full speed on a treadmill for 2 years and now all of a sudden someone pulled the emergency stop cord and we are taking a big deep breath. It's an interesting place to be especially in our relationship. We are relearning each other. We are silly and have fun and at sometimes it feels immature but I just th...

Let Me Be Your Mirror

Why is it that how we perceive ourselves is usually different than how our friends, family and even the universe sees us? Are we taught to not fully love ourselves or do we pick up on self criticism from how we perceive the world?   Self-help books seem to be all the craze and don’t get me wrong I love them too. When I was at my lowest self-loathing phase of the tummy rolls and a bald head I wanted nothing more than to be inspired to take on the world and feel a bit better about myself. Little did I know I was already taking on the world and battling my disease. It’s sad that as my body was trying to fight to stay alive I was more concerned with my self perception or even the perception of others. I would walk around the grocery store not confident and very anxious about what others were thinking of me… but guess what… NO ONE CARES and actually thinks the complete opposite of your self perception! Now looking back I realize that my situation brought a different type o...

My Journey Through Conventional Medicine

Almost 2 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. These are no words that a healthy twenty-five year old ever thought she would hear. I am here documenting my journey through conventional medicine but ultimately how I found alternative therapies that I truly believe will heal me.  In the fall of 2016 I received my diagnosis of stage 4 round, blue cell sarcoma. The doctors thought I would be an easy case. We would zap the area with radiation and then cut the tumor out. Easy. Unfortunately things quickly changed after I had a CT scan that showed 30+ nodules all over both lungs. This changed our treatment plan drastically. Not only did our plan of treatment change but my faith in my doctors also changed. They always just kept saying "We don't know what type of sarcoma it is; I think  this chemo will work; I am not sure of your prognosis; etc." I felt like I had already ran out of options before I even started treatment because I was with a HMO insurance compan...
