Journal entry by Abby Coderre

My 3 year cancerversary yesterday wasn’t so bad after all thanks to these lovely people in my life who made sure I wasn’t alone for the day☺️I started my day going to Pure Barre for a workout, which kicked. my. butt. It was a good kind of pain and everytime I wanted to give up, I just thought in my head, “fuck cancer; it can’t take this away from me, especially not today.” Then came back to my apartment and relaxed and took a nap. My mom drove down for the night and we enjoyed drinks and dinner at Shogun with some of my friends! The next morning (today), I had an appointment with a psychiatrist to do testing on my memory. My chemo brain has gotten significantly worse over the months and I was referred to this doctor to see what is going on. The tests spanned over 5 hours and by the end, my brain hurt😅. I’ll have the results on Tuesday and hopefully we will have some answers and set up ways to help me moving forward. All in all, this week was a lot, but it was so much better than where I was 3 years ago. Anything is better than that.
