Trump slashes drug prices…
I was watching Trump today, sign a new EO, slashing drug prices. He continues to great things for the American People. He is right, the price of survival for the American people is insane.

Coming up on the “second surgery” anniversary
It is odd, how every date/month is a milestone that following year. I remember last year, celebrating Mother’s Day, a failed surgery, and what I thought was thyroid cancer still inside me. The struggles to put on a smile for everyone, to hide your worry, your frustration that your journey is still not over. You…

Coming up on the anniversary of the “phone call”.
Today has been such a weird day. As I watch Donald Trump get inaugurated, I keep thinking about the anxiety I had in May, wondering if I would even wake up from the June surgery to see Donald and Joe debate. It is weird how the little things still trigger you. We have a little…

Everyone’s cancer story is different, a journey we never expect to go on.
I was at the gym, walking on the treadmill, preparing for my new job to begin that Wednesday. I get a panicked phone call from a medical assistant at Dr. P’s office, “Have you ever followed up on your thyroid”? I at once get off the machine and step outside. I say “No, why would…
