Yes I realize that I am writing less and less these day. To better understand my absence I will tell you that I am going to IOP classes again (head therapy.) I feel as if I am starting to come out of "it" again ("it" being depression.)
Yes my big 30th Birthday is on November 27th. Thinking about my birthday is one contributing factor to my depression. You see as lame as it sounds, not only was I diagnosed with Stage IV unknown primary cancer just 7 weeks after my marriage to Cary but I was also happened to be officially diagnosed on November 27th the day I turned 27 years old. This year I am not excited at all about my Birthday. Sometimes when I reflect upon the last three years I just can not believe that this is or has happened to me and my life. I had no clue, this whole thing just broadsided my husband and I.
Anyways, I have chemo tomorrow morning at 9:30 and it is now 2:00 a.m. Friday morning. My eyes are beginning to feel very heavy. I am not sure what kept me awake long enough to write this evening. Oh man now I am nodding off. Better go to bed now.

Therapy is GOOD! Hang in there...you are such an inspiration! I hope you have a good birthday Lori...you deserve a good one! Lots of Love!

thanks for sharing your story..turning 30 is a milestone, i'm turning 30 in less than a month..but with your background, i can understand the other side of your feelings...
i'm currently training in a cancer subspecialty, and reading your blog has really inspired me, so thanks.. during training we do get tired, burnt out, and wonder if there is a light at the end of the tunnel...
i hope that your chemo/tx go well.. cancer is a bitch..and my thoughts and prayers are with you..
take care,
the bean.
Hey Lori
I recently turned 50 you too will reach this mark - hang in there! I want to read more of your story. Best wishes Stephen
Hi Lori! I hope you and Cary enjoy a glorious fall day today and some turkey too. I read a quote one day that said "sometimes wehave to let go of the life we planned for the life we have." You and Cary are so fortunate to have the love you share and that love manifests itself through so much kindness and love that you both share with others. You two really embrace this right now life. I hope that love brings yougreat joy tis day and always. Thinking of you both!
Heya girl! Happy belated birthday! I feel for you, but no matter, you're faught through another year! Great job! You shall have many happy birthdays ahead. cheers!
Hi Lori! This may be a day late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm sure you had a great one, celebrating it with Carey and the rest of your loved ones. I'm thinking of you. <3
Love always,
Bean

Happy late birthday, Lori.
Therapy can be something I hate, but it always is something that is good for me. I hope that it's helping you!
You and I can compare being 30. I've suddenly decided to try and run a marathon. It's insane. But then I realize that you've been running one for three years. Hang in there!

Lori,
I just found your blog by 'accident' and allow me to tell you something that I am sure everyone has told you already: Do not give up! My mother in law was told when she was about 35 that she would not make it to 40 and you know how old she is? She's +65 and still 'kicking'...she's actually been told that sort of story more than once but her spirit is so strong and her will so undefeatable that she is still with us...so, do not give up! keep your spirit strong with the love and support of those who are around you and those 'strangers' that will certainly pray for your recovery. I'll keep you in my prayers. Blessings. Mariela
lori,
i hope that you're feeling better soon.
Good luck - I had cancer 12 years ago. Keep writing!!!
