Went to Olive Garden yesterday for dinner. I got their chicken and gnocchi soup. It actually had a decent amount of gnocchi. Then, I had their create your own pasta dish: rigatoni, 5-cheese marinara, and broccoli. There was a lot of broccoli. The sauce was a bit watery again. It was pretty good other than that. I get to have the rest of it for lunch today. Yay! It was also the first time in a long time that I paid for my dinner at a sit down restaurant with my own money. I just got my first deposit of my ssi money recently. I got a little gunk on my card. I don’t think their machine was clean, but I did it. (Cleaned it off afterwards.) It wasn’t that expensive either. I thought it would be. Didn’t have dessert there, because nothing interested me. I had a cowboy cookie from home instead.

#bc even before my mom died we were kind of done with everyone on her side but her dad#bc he ended up in hospital while she was going through chemo for stage 4 breast cancer (the worst place for someone doing chemo to be)#and the singular time my mom wasn't there to help get him sorted out bc she couldn't be her aunt made a fucking comment abt how his daughter#couldn't be bothered to see him. meanwhile she was the one there the most once my grandma died AND she has a brother and sister not present#and my dad's family is just kind of a wash#and my stepmoms family is same thing barely different shape as my moms so i know the types but still#down to bitchy aunts and alcoholic uncles/cousins#im feeling nauseous thinking about it

Life update:
I'm mum of 2 girls, married to a wonderful man. Best hubby ever, life has been great, 3 years of marriage. The year started good even got a remote job which was kinda cool. Suddenly, started getting sick at a low paced and then March came and after a couple of ER trips was diagnosed with pneumonia (was totally misdiagnosed) weekly ER trips with no positive change to antibiotic treatments while pregnant the doctor ordered CT scan and discovered mass in my lungs. I had mentioned a lump on my left breast to ER Doc and midwife but it did not became a red flag to my symptoms which were a violent cough, follow by a excruciating headache. MARCH-JUNE I got so sick but Docs/Hospital did not help with pain management or even knew the root of my problem until the scan. In June, I was finally diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I immediately gave my life to my God and Lord almighty. It spread to lungs and brain. My wonderful team of Doctors and care are fighting with me, God bless them and their unwavering support and planning to get me better has led me to write this. I am beyond blessed for the care and support I have. Additionally , I had to give birth to a miracle beautiful baby girl at 29 weeks and she is doing spectacular and praise God to that. Her name is Rayne Amor. I am still fighting battles and in the name of God we are staying strong and we are seeing lots of positive changes. Life with God is amazing, family and friends are always praying for me. I will write my testimony. If you read this, Hi and God bless you.

I don’t know if I am ready to write again. But as of now I’m back. I guess I have enough to share.
Now my turn… Hello world again. Arche is back to Tumblr with a stage 4 cancer.
Maybe someone out there needs to hear my personal journey. Cancer, being a mom with cancer, being alone with cancer, being motherless with cancer… I have not spoken to anyone for over a year. I know I am not alone.
Surgeries, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, gain weight and lose weight, vomit, nausea, and fatigue… They are painful. I mean so much pain…
But nothing is more painful than seeing you’re alone…
I am confessing my ignorance about life and myself right now right here… After everything lost its meaning and value…
See you in the next post—

hm hypochondria is a hell of a type of anxiety that I suffer from and occasionally creeps back up on me over the smallest of triggers
#my skin is really sensitive and I've been trying different soaps and lotions lately just to see if anything helps#but with that trial and error comes small rashes and contact dermatitis if the 'hypoallergenic' claims are bogus#but rn there's a small bit of dermatitis near and almost on my breast#but what is my mind spiraling to? stage 4 breast cancer of course#of course I occasionally do self checks like ya should#I don't feel anything but the thing about hypochondria is my brain can easily make me feel lumps that aren't actually there#bc hypochondria is also a type of delusional thinking#my brain will trick me into feeling phantom aches and pains and sensations and i hate it#it's a vicious spiral and i can easily work myself into an anxiety attack#I've had full flown panic attacks over thinking I had blood clots

Wow, what a first post. I found out yesterday that I have metastatic breast cancer. I was diagnosed in December 2018 with a very rare type that isn’t very aggressive. I had had it for years before it was found because it was a soft tumor.
And so, a randomly broken rib (with no tumor) sent me to the doctor and a CT spotted the lesion on my T7 vertebrae. It’s very small and the only tumor I have, so we have super early non-chemo intervention getting ready to happen.
I will share more about this journey (I have a long-term prognosis because of this rare type being more of a chronic thing). Hopefully I can educate about this very rare type of breast cancer. However, I’m also a riot, an author, and a smarty pants. I promise you’ll love me to bits. 😁

My mom has cancer.
It’s bad. It has already spread from her breast to her lymph node, and they are in the process of checking to make sure it hasn’t spread further right now. It is a stage 2, but if they find that it has spread, it automatically escalates to a stage 4.
She has a three year old baby, and is also a caretaker for her mother in law who recently suffered a double stroke, and her puppy dog who is diabetic.
Everything is changing in a really big way and it’s very scary. She is starting chemo soon & will be getting a double mastectomy.
I know a lot of you aren’t in a place where you can donate, but if you can, please consider contributing to her gofundme. My step dad has had to take off work a lot to care for my baby sister while my mom goes to appointments, and this is just the beginning.

Finally had a phone appointment with my oncologist. It kept getting postponed. They said I had to have it as a follow-up. They had it scheduled for 5pm. (I don’t why it was so late in the day. They were the ones that scheduled it.) She called me this morning when I wasn’t around my phone. She said she was sick again and couldn’t do the 5pm one, and said she’d call at 12pm. I waited for a while, but she didn’t call back. So, I called the oncology department about it, and they were confused about it. She called me after that. So weird.
I brought up my bone pain. It’s still pretty bad. She asked if it was in one area. It’s not. It’s all over. She said I should try taking 1mg of dexamethasone daily, instead of the 0.5mg. She wants me to switch from anastrozole to letrozole. Apparently, letrozole is similar. According to Google, letrozole is a hormone based chemotherapy. Anastrozole could be causing some of the bone pain as well. So she’ll prescribe it, and I’ll get it through the mail. She said it’s very important that I stop anastrozole, then wait a day, and then I can start letrozole. I can’t have them at the same time. Hopefully this will help.
I also talked about a ‘mass’ or tumor I started noticing a few days ago. It’s big. It’s on the left side of my chest, and starts with a weird looking dimple. It goes from close to my neck near my left shoulder until my heart area. She said she has to look at it in person. She wrote down what I told her anyways. She said I should probably have an in-person appointment after the bone scan at the end of the month. She said the problem is she’ll be in Tacoma during that time until the end of July. She said I most likely will see a colleague of hers instead. I hope I’m just imagining this ‘mass’. Don’t know what they’ll do about it. Especially with someone new to my ‘case’. I feel like I need a new oncologist. She did tell me to keep her up to date. She doesn’t seem to like email, which makes it harder. Hopefully my bone pain will get better soon, and the mass I see is really nothing.

yesterday i cracked my friends up with "i know its well intentioned but its been so long that i don't really need condolences or apologies because its just like 'grass is green, sky is blue, mom is dead'" and im still riding that high
#the one said they like that about 9/10 times people find out because i make a joke without thinking about who knows what#its that or i use past tense and if you catch it you catch it#but like what else can you do about your mom being in remission from stage 4 breast cancer just to die of a known heart condition her doctor#told her to ignore like two months later but joke about it. because every other option sucks#and there's no good way to casually drop that into a convo and i dont rly want to deal with how other people feel about it lmao

Hey I hate to do this but this is really important to me
One of my best friends has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at age 29. She is literally practically my sister. Her kids even call my dad "Papa Patrick".
She has a gofund me for medical bills. Any help, even just sharing, would mean a lot.
#thanks#i know I don't have a ton of reach here#but if even one person gives her a few dollars it's worth it

A continuous battle and I am scared(URGENT) - you can click on the image to direct you to the Ko-Fi Site.
Dear Friends, Right now I feel despair, and hopelessness. And I feel so tired. I deeply apologize for tagging you all again, please don't get mad. I just really needed help.😢😢 I just got my life back, and recently recovered from my debts from my previous battle in between 2021 and mid 2023. I really felt so ashamed in writing this, because I am avoiding as much as I can to ask help financially again.
You were there for me during my darkest hours, and for that, I will be eternally grateful. But now, I find myself in a situation more dire than ever before, and I am trembling with fear as I implore you to lend me your aid once again.
The video you see attached to this post is a painful reminder of the recent loss I've endured. Uncle Dindo joined our creator last March 24, 2024, after battling Stage 4 Lung Cancer for a month. His passing has left a void in our souls, and also drowned us in debts too. I am helping with expenses as much as I can, that it also drowned me. My Father died of the same illness as well. I made a post more than a month ago with the Title: FIGHTING AGAINST CANCER sadly we still have zero donation and sales from our Emotes and Digital Stickers sale.
I do not know how to approach all of you again, but I am so scared right now. The reason I made this new post is I've been doing my best to make ends meet, trying to loan to a bank to be able for me to start my Treatment again(but mostly got rejected). I am already back to work eversince the fourth quarter of 2023, but the income is not enough as I earn only $12-$15/day with 12 hours plus of work. I am really really scared right now as I am writing this. First, I need to settle my rent within 12-24 hours which cost $500(water & electricity is unstable). My landlord is threatening me that he will lock the house, kicking me out and leaving my pets behind. My cats and my dog are my life. Update(05/02/2024): I asked helped from a local council here to help me talk to my landlord. We have an agreement and I am given enough time until Saturday of this week - May 4, 2024. To settle the rent and for me and my pets to leave the apartment, we found a new one but we need a 2 month deposit. And payment for a rental truck. I need to pay my landlord too - so, I can be able to transfer to another home, and he will let me leave peacefully. Which will have another cost, as I need to rent a small truck because I have my pets with me. I have written this on my previous blogs before that I have been sexually harassed(this SCARES me so much too), and stalked by a former friend. He was jailed, but he is back again(already reported it to police). But for safety transferring home is needed. My trauma is still not yet recovered. We still need to prioritize as well my Aunt's treatment, as her health is rapidly deteriorating too(Stage 3 breast Cancer is advancing, her right breast has already been removed). And I need to start mine again, it spread in other parts of my body(I am holding on). I'm really scared right now. If you can spare anything—money, support, anything at all—it would mean the world to me. I hate asking, but I don't know what else to do. Any amount is appreciated, or you can purchase from my Small Shop as well. Thank you so much. Please take Care. Love, Jasky P.S. Sorry if my writing sounds scattered. I don't have proper sleep at the moment.
Sorry for tagging again, please do not get mad at me. I really help so badly. Reposting, or if you have any at least $5 or buy stickers it will really mean a lot to us, to me.
