Update 9/28

I know I know, I said I would update this blog more.

It has been a hard few months, no doubt. Losing an authority figure and a dear friend so close together just seems surreal.

I mentioned in the last post that I found Rachel through her blog and how much that friendship helped me to where I am today.
 That post somehow reached a guy in New Jersey who is going through this journey the same way Rachel and I were going through.  Nathan O. is a 20 year old who has my issue, dipg. He reached out to me because of the last post.
 Once Rachel passed, I felt alone again, a wolf pack of one, and while this wolf pack is for sickly young adults fighting a rare despicable cancer, I am glad we found each other for support. I told Nathan about my diet, the ketogenic diet for those who don't know, it is a low carb high fat diet which is supposed to slow and maybe even stop the cancer.  He has decided to give it a try which is awesome.


I had another MRI this month and I am please to announce that there has been no changes or growth in the tumor in the last 3 months. It is a small victory but we needed some good news.
I am back in school taking 4 classes: Calculus, Statistics, Marketing and.... Cello
Yep, Cello. I decided to rent a cello and learn how to play it along with how to read music. I am interested in learning much more about music.
Tennis is going well, I am picking up a kick serve though I still am learning to perform it reliably.
I want to get back to work, but I am stressed as much as I can handle right now. I will try to get back into work if I hold steady for another month to help with the holiday season.







These two songs have been reverberating with me a lot recently. The first reminds me to cherish moments and those close to me. The second is pretty self explanatory. When I went to see this band in concert I had Nathan S. and Shelby there with me. It was an amazing concert and I am glad I could share it with them.

  1. Have you ever been burdened with an unexpected expense, like a big automobile repair invoice? How have you handled it? Do you use your credit card and pay for it, which includes attention, over a time frame? But possibly Zippy Loan you dont have a bank card. Or perhaps you are certainly one of the millions of folks who carry too a lot debt, and have currently maxed out your credit card. Do you've buddies to borrow from? Most of us dont like to do that - and most friends dont like that, either. So what do you do? Well, you might get a payday loan.
