What a Wonderful World

I'm a little out of practice when it comes to social events, but this year we hosted an Easter brunch at Frahm haus. Spring flowers, fattening foods, yummy mimosas, and grateful people sans masks. 

Normalcy feels good!

What Happy Looks Like

 


This time last year my husband, Randy and I were on our way to NC to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary. Instead of going skiing we ended up at the nearest ER where Randy was transported to another hospital for emergency surgery- his appendix had ruptured. 

The morning of our anniversary I arrived at the hospital expecting to take him home, but he wasn’t doing well due to a complication which had occurred during surgery. Instead of going home and back to life as we knew it- this was the day we found out he had cancer. He was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive stage 4 appendix cancer. 

This February 18th we’ll be married 33 years, but the celebration began on February10th when Randy rang the bell signifying the end of chemo. It was an emotional moment and physical relief. 

Our son, Jordan took this photo after we returned home that day. This is what happy looks like! I’ve no idea what the future holds, but I’m trying to appreciate and never take for granted moments like this one. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy 35th Anniversary Coping with Cancer Magazine

This May/June 2021 I am honored to be included in Coping with Cancer's 35 Anniversary Issue!  





As fate would have it I was sitting beside my husband, Randy during his first chemo treatment at the University of Tennessee Cancer Institute in Knoxville, Tennessee when I first saw that I had been tagged on Instagram by Coping with Cancer magazine. 

It was such great timing!  A much needed reminder of all Randy and I have been through together and managed to survive. 

In February we celebrated our 32nd anniversary with a ski trip to North Carolina. Only instead of skiing we ended up at the ER. Randy was hospitalized  due to a ruptured appendix we now know was caused by appendix cancer. 

In 1994 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer Coping with Cancer magazine was ALL THERE WAS  in any oncologist or doctor's office that focused on surviving cancer. In an era where cancer was still viewed as a death sentence it offered me and countless other cancer patients inspiration, encouragement, and hope. 



When Tickles Tabitha's Cancer-tankerous Mommy  was released I was thrilled to contribute to and receive an endorsement from Coping with Cancer magazine. I had survived cancer and publishing to arrive via an article in the premier magazine about cancer! 


Today, once again this magazine is providing my family support and encouragement when it's needed most.  


Happy 35th Anniversary #CopingwithCancerMagazine and Thank you!
