Hello Everyone!
I couldn't sleep, its only 10:34pm but it seems everyone goes to bed early around here so I'm left alone and awake. This post will be a little different, it will not be about beauty, fashion, home decor etc etc. This is more of a personal/deeper post...
...tonight I write from a hospital family lounge while my husband is asleep. I never talked about his condition. I might of dropped subtle hints but I never fully written about it because not everyone (family) knew about his situation. It's sort of out in the open now so why not talk a little about our journey.
Without giving too much detail he has been battling (metastatic) Breast Cancer for quite some time now - since 2005 to be exact. Yes, Breast Cancer! Men get it too!!!! Shocked?! Don't be! Several years ago statics showed that 1% of men got Breast Cancer, now that number has risen to 2%. Crazy right?! It has been a long hard road that only seems to be getting harder. He's been admitted in the hospital for the last 2.5 (long) weeks. We spent Thanksgiving here, my sister in-law was amazing enough to bring us dinner all the way from Philly. I could sit here and say it was the worst Thanksgiving I've had in a while but nope, I will not say that because we were surrounded by people that genuinely love us. At the end of the day that's what matters!
Cancer fucking sucks! It drains you mentally, physically and emotionally. I live in constant fear especially when its time for scans. Lately its been nothing but bad news and in my heart I know what that means. Lets keep it real, you either survive this or you don't.
Anyways, I'm going to end it here. I had big plans for this blog, I had outfits of the day ready, haul posts among other stuff but the way my life is set up at this point I can't tell you what I'll be writing about next. Be it fashion or beauty or about my life either way I'll try to post what I can. After all, there is no greater way to release some tension/stress than to write about it. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to help someone that is going through what I'm going through.
Support is major key!!
