I realized that I have yet to share anything about my treatments. I have been receiving some types of treatments, but it hasn't been anything major. I have been doing radiation on the tumors in my neck,in hopes that they will shrink to a size that will not bug me. The first few radiation treatments were not that bad. The treatments didn't burn my skin or irritate me. Really the only downside is

So thanks to another blogger(mcclintockb.blogspot.com) I am going to start participating in her Friday Fives.I would love it if you guys would participate as well. This week the topic is five things you didn't know about me. Here are mine (some of you may know all of this already): 1. I cannot believe I am admitting this but, I am addicted to reality tv. I know most of it is fake but if a reality

Here are the questions for this week:1. What color do you wear the most? I don't think there is one color I wear a lot. But it does seem like lately I have bought many blue and purple things.2. Would you rather have $10,000 dollars or a dream vacation? This one is hard, I would have to say 10,000 dollars. I have been very fortunate to travel a lot in my life so having the money would

I come from a comparatively small town. It seems as though everyone knows everyone, and no matter where you go you are bound to run into someone you know. Living in such a small community means that news has the ability to travel fast. However, after being back home the last two months, I have found that people either know about your situation and want to ask questions, or

So after browsing through some blogs I stumbled upon this blog (http://www.mannland5.com) that does a weekly post called getting to know you. I thought what a great idea to post questions, answer them, and have followers answer them to be able to get to know each other a little bit better. So I picked a few questions to answer and would love it if you all would spend some time answering them. The

Sorry once again for dropping off the face of the blogging world. But the last two weeks have been full of traveling, family, girl time, and zero time for blogging. My friends from college were in town two weeks ago on their spring break. So we took that time to catch up on our lives. We even found time to cross things off of my bucket list! It felt soooo good to have them near me again even if

While spending time with a friend the other day, we were talking about writing and she turned me on to this site called Unsent Letters. The site is full of letters people have written to various individuals. (Their future selves, pets, unborn children, dead relatives, etc.) Some of the letters were serious, some were sad, and others so silly they made me laugh so hard tears started falling from

Fun, energetic girl seeking new friends around their early twenties … Okay, I love my friends to death, but I am hoping that maybe after this post I can finally let this issue go. I have many amazing people in my life. I have always been blessed with loving caring people, but I find that they tend to only stay so long. Don’t get me wrong, there are those who have stuck by my side through the

So I know I have REALLY slacked on my blog this week, but the truth is I was nervous for what I am going to blog about today. This post is going to be long and sound like one huge pity party, but if I don’t talk about it here, then how am I going to get it off my chest?(I know silly right?! After all through blogging I have received so much support, why would this be any different?)This past

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!It was a busy one for me, that’s for sure. I decided that this weekend I would take the time and visit some friends I haven’t seen in a while. So, I hopped in my car and drove the long six hours across state to their school.It was a bittersweet feeling, being at a college. I miss the college life and surprisingly the stress that comes with studying for exams

I had a bit of a breakdown this afternoon. I had to make a few phone calls to my doctors regarding appointments. The calls were pretty much routine but after the last one I just started sobbing. I don't want this disease to be a part of my life! I don't want doctors to be a part of my daily conversations, nor do I want to constantly be thinking about how healthy I need to be. I don't want to

Wow I cannot believe how much support I have received simply by starting this blog! I originally wanted to start my blog to keep my family up to date with the latest news and to inspire others during the difficult times they may be facing. I never in a million years would have imagined this many views, followers, or touching comments. It is amazing that so many people whom I have never met are

This is the story of rumors and gossip that, like rumors and gossip often do, went very, very awry.It started with a comment made to my friend in the grocery store last year. "Tell Katie not to drop out of college, she has far too much potential," she said. "She'll throw her life away." My friend didn't really know what to do with that information. Little did she know the hell I was going through

I can't have a launched blog with no blog to read! That just isn't right.I love this quote and it succinctly says exactly what I want all of us to get out of this blog:"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today."James DeanThere's a tidbit for this moment to ponder over. Enjoy.~Katie
