Journal entry by Rebecca Maxwell —
Hello. Just a quick intro while I navigate my way around here and learn the ropes. It took me a bit to remember this site name from several years ago. From when I was following a blog of a local DJ who was fighting breast cancer.
Anyway. I'm Becky. 48 and was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in Aug 2017. I've been on chemo since Oct 2017 and not too much improvement since. Staying somewhat stable and minimal growth is something though. I'll be telling more of my history in the days to come. I also have a Facebook page where i kept updates as well as a cancer journey page I had started because I was trying to find a place to do real blogging but the layout of those pages aren't what I thought. I think this is more what I had hoped to find. I want to discuss my issue openly and also hope these pages will be around long after I'm gone. ( if I happen to leave this world in the years to come) so that my kids and grandkids and anyone else can read them. Right now theres not much new that the family hasn't read on Facebook.
Well that's about all I can think to say right now without getting into my whole story yet. So I'll just say thank you for reading and Welcome to my journey!
