If you asked me a year ago I probably wouldn’t have believed you if you said that in the fall of 2022 Id be in college. Sure that was the plan all along but after having to take a gap year because of the pandemic, plus not wanting all my classes to be virtual, and then getting cancer. Everything seemed way off track and college seemed like a long shot. Even after they removed the tumor and my lung , it seemed like it was going to be impossible for me to walk to class on campus because after surgery in Jan. I could barely walk the hallway. This time last year on NET cancer day it had only been 145 days since I was informed I had typical Neuroendrine tumor in my lung. This time last year I was experiencing a variety of side effects from oral chemotherapy. For example, being so nauseous that I barely could sleep at night. I lost my sense of taste which is not fun. Food tasted like nothing or like a block of metal. My hair started thinning & turning gray.(it still is there) This time last year I prayed that I could survive chemo and the surgery cuz the only thing I knew about cancer was people passed away when they got it. Today is day! Only around 2,000 to 4,500 adults in the USA a lung NET and it accounts for 1% to 2% of all lung cancers. NETS are extremely rare in children & young adults Incidence rate of 2.8 per million per year. I am a NET cancer survivor living with one lung. Which apparently is possible. Sure I had a few bumps even since the surgery. In march 2021 I had to go back to the hospital to fix pericardial effusion and sure some days I am reminded that I have one lung when I can't keep up but I remember this is part of Gods plan. I would love to know what kind of plan this is I remember DEUTERONOMY 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

If you’re not constantly crushing your workout, posting epic weekend adventures to Instagram, or working on your side-hustle, it’s easy to feel like you’re not keeping up. But we’re here to set the record straight: Self-care is just as important as everything else you do. So the Summer Glow Kit from x made it really easy to practive self care with a little help from a few brands. Let's take a peak inside the Glow kit here is what it includes: Nair Sensitive Wax Ready Strips for Face & Bikini by , all new Plant-Based Sunscreen, Coco lotion by , creative video cards, Proactiv provided a case which included Hydrating Moisturizer, Ultra Gentle Cleanser, and Adapalene Gel. My favorite thing I think is the tote from Taking a break to prioritize yourself is a crucial act of self-care. Pressing pause on life’s constant stream of activity is so important for mental health. What do you do for self care? Or what are you looking forward to this summer?

A couple weeks ago I shared about the L WEGO Health (now renamed The Social Health Network ) since then I was nominated for 2 health awards by for my work in social chronic illness advocacy ! Social Health network it is the only program to recognize patient leaders across all condition areas and platforms; so this means a lot. Yesterday the endorsement process opened. Basically fancy term for vote . All u have to do is go to my profile and click the “endorse button” on each nomination! it’s free to do! And it would mean so much ! Nominees with the most endorsements are more likely to make it to the finals. If you would like to see my work it is all on my profile page .

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day.
Such a strange sounding “day” to those who haven’t known cancer. “Of course we celebrate Cancer Survivors. Who wouldn’t??”. But for those of us who have been “touched” by cancer (or a more accurate word might be “pummeled” by cancer😂), today really means something important. When I was diagnosed with cancer the first thing I thought was oh dang, that means that I’m gonna die. I mean everyone I’ve ever known that had cancer eventually passed away so my thought was that’s how it goes. In fact after my diagnosis I took to Google everything from will I die with lung cancer or how many years do I have left .. etc. I would have never thought I would be in the place I am now. It has been 145 days since my lung removal surgery - also known as pneumonectomy . I thank God everyday I get the opportunity to wake up every morning. I'm thankful to be able to spend the special moments with my family and friends and truly enjoy life. It’s crazy because I didn’t even know someone could live without a lung and now here I am one lung Brianna. When life is almost taken away you learn to appreciate every second. Please send a message to someone that has fought or is fighting cancer of how much you love them. Think about the happy memories of someone who has lost their battle. Hug the people you love tighter because you never know how quickly life can take a step in another direction. And please remember just because someone is NED that doesn’t mean everything is back to normal . The Effects of cancer don’t simply end when treatment does. And many people don’t realize that. So think about that this

Summer is just around the corner and that means you may need to spice up you closet with summer aesthetic with merch. Pura Vida" is a term that translates to "pure life." It basically means to live your life to the fullest. To not take anything for granted and to enjoy life's simple treasures. Pura Vida reminds you to “calm down, everything’s going to be fine”. Unless someone is hurt, bleeding or on fire, typically nothing is that serious or urgent to get worked up about. Living life the "Pura Vida" makes a huge difference. Changing the way you think about life will help you grow as a person. I love that philosophy on life. I also love that has partnered with many different charities; when you buy a bracelet from them in partnership with a charity, they donate 5% of that purchase to the charity. They have charities under animal awareness, humanitarian causes, cancer awareness, health awareness, and environmental causes. I bought a bracelet for cancer awareness and I am in love with them. Besides being very cute, they are helping to make a difference, and that makes me happy. Finally Their packages are eco-friendly. This is something that many people look for when buying from a brand. Pura Vida
has gone green through the years, and now they send your order in an eco-friendly bag, and the packaging mail comes in a biodegradable bag that you can bury in your backyard!
Small things like this make a difference when you think about how many orders are sent throughout the year. Are you ready to get your summer wardrobe ready for the Vida lifestyle?
