Journal entry by Shauna Hensperger

Wow! It's been a while since I posted an update! Long story short the cancer is all over my liver causing fluid to fill my abdomen making me look pregnant lol. I recently had a paracentesis to drain the fluid and they removed almost 11 pounds! The process didn't hurt, but all my organs shifting back into place was not the most pleasant feeling in the world. 
I have lost 45 lbs in less than a year, the last 2 weeks have probably been the worst. The chemo we are trying keeps wiping out my blood counts causing delays in treatment so i can recover.  Eating is super hard because nothing sounds good and I can only eat 3 bites at a time before I'm done. Drinking my calories and protien is easier but still not what I want. It's stupid and dumb. I still get frustrated and sad but man my family and friends are so amazing constantly lifting me up.  That's all for now, I'll try and post more often ❤
