Hey guys,

I will resume posting regularly again, but I’m mentally, emotionally, and physically drained more so than I probably have ever been. I can barely make myself get my daily tasks done and I really need time to rest.

I’ll keep making videos, but I need time to myself right now.

Thank you all,

I’m going to start posting videos more often, ideally twice a week. One on Wednesday and the other on Saturday and I’m working on that now. Stayed tuned for more content.

I’m so sorry you guys but I really need a break. A real one. I think I’ll resume posting on March 2. But ultimately I have nothing left right now.

My doctor is surprised I’m still working, but I don’t have a choice, I have no husband or partner to lean on. I have bills I have to meticulously pay attention to and track. At any given time now I may be at the hospital around 8 times a month, not counting any follow ups and tests. I have to take my dog for his allergy shot monthly. I have to make sure they’re both happy and last night one of my dogs lost a tooth. She’s had bad plaque build up and I haven’t had the time or money to get her seen until recently. And she lost a whole adult tooth and now I have to worry about that and her. I work 45 hours a week. I film and edit weekly but I still have to make time to exercise and take care of myself.

My body feels like a stranger. I’m bloating, I’m gaining or losing weight, I’m no longer maintaining body hair, I’m sometimes fine and then other times nauseous and vomiting . I currently have no appetite. But I still need to exercise at bare minimum twice a week. I’m exhausted in all the ways I can be. And I want to dedicate more time to my channel but I cannot right now and there’s not a single person that can relate to me. I have pushed and pushed and pushed myself to keep doing my best but I have nothing left to give. I can’t describe how tired I am. And that’s still not including the weekly therapy and whatever emotional trauma I am working through week by week. And even if people are supportive nobody can possibly understand what this has been like. I’m at my wits end but I can’t be, because there is still more to do. I barely have time to cry to myself.

I don’t want to make content that isn’t thought out. I want to make a quality channel. And I can’t do it right now. So hopefully you guys can excuse me for needing a break. By March I should be ready to get back into it and I thank you in advance.

Hey y’all I’m back with my little bit of advice for the day.

Going through cancer has been such a huge burden, but one of the most difficult parts of cancer is dealing with the insurance company. If you have someone to help you; have them help you keep your bills together. Anything you pay for, note and date. Anyone you talk to, note their names. Trust me, this will save you. I have to constantly go behind everyone on everything to make sure my insurance is covering what it is supposed to and that information is being given to who it needs to be given to. It’s exhausting and truly something I wish I didn’t have to do, but if I didn’t keep some sort of notes for when I’ve paid for certain things or even when I canceled the horrible insurance I had prior, they’d be trying to charge me for things they shouldn’t be. And when you’re sick it’s hard enough to keep track of which medications you need to take.

Do this from the start. Organize your medical bills and information and enlist in help from your support system. It’ll save you some headache. Hopefully you won’t need to do this to the extent that I do, but better be safe than sorry. It’ll be one less worry on your shoulders. And of course you don’t have to take my advice if you don’t want, or you can feel free to adapt it into whatever way works best for you. This is your journey.

Hey guys! I’m happy our little community is growing slowly, but steady. So to those that are new, welcome! I’ve been going through so much for the past couple of years and I hope my content is able to make you feel like you are also not alone going through the things you go through. Especially regarding my last video.

Dealing with toxic people is very exhausting and it’s even harder when that person is a part of your family. I just got to the point where I realized it’s not unreasonable for me to hold those around me to a higher standard, especially my family. I don’t have children yet but how can we ask our kids to do better than we did when I’m not putting my foot down and demanding better treatment from the people around me? Psychological they will still see what you put up with and start making excuses for people that aren’t putting their needs first. I don’t want to make excuses. I want my life to be better than it was. Things can’t change unless you change them. So going forward nobody is exempt from my expectations. And I hope that my experience can be helpful to any of you in my community dealing with the same thing. It’s hard, but you deserve better quality relationships and you should be able to have them.

I won’t be posting tomorrow. However the short break will allow me time to batch my videos. See you next Saturday!

Hey y’all, I might need to take this weekend off from posting the next video. Treatment has been kicking my ass and I’ve had a long week but I plan to start batching these out ahead of time. So if I don’t post I’ll work on batching, and if I do then I will still work on batching to keep on schedule. I will surely let you know though.

Hello friends, i just wanted to share another reason why going through treatment is a burden. This is for ONE medication. $1950. And if you don’t pay for it they will not ship it. If you know anybody fighting cancer, this is the stupid shit we have to deal with. I have insurance, but this is what it costs to stay alive. This is what I’m bringing awareness to.

This wig makes me feel like I used to be in a band in the 80’s. I haven’t seen my band mates in years, we have a segment on behind the music coming up. I write songs and dress like an old hippy now. It’s a whole thing.
