Merry Christmas!
It’s Christmas!!!! Too soon? It’s never too soon! I love Christmas, it really is the most wonderful time of the year! We have decorated our home way earlier than usual. We were sent several signs that it was too early, with our tree lights blowing up, and then the brand new replacement set also blowing up, but today, the tree goes up!
And why not? It’s been a tough year. The treatment I had been on for a little over a year stopped being as effective. It’s a difficult pill to swallow when a treatment is no longer effective, but I try to look for the positives, the side effects were becoming increasingly unpleasant. Even more frustratingly, I started a brand new treatment, targeted to one of my genetic mutations, and after a few short months, I have metastatic progression in my bones and liver. Again, I had some adverse side effects, so I try to see the positive side. It does mean however, that I am back on intravenous chemotherapy. I had my second session this week, and the fatigue is real. Hopefully this will provide me with the reset I so desperately need. There is also a real chance that I will lose my hair again, which is nothing short of pure trauma for me.
That’s why I will continue to campaign to raise funds and awareness to ensure more treatments become available to not only extend lives, but without such brutal side effects.
So this Christmas, spoil your loved ones with a cosy hoody or cute t-shirt from our FEARLESS. collection. A percentage of all sales are donated to cancer associations and charities. Two gifts in one!
You can also find us at some local Christmas markets with Vachement Suisse! We hope to see you there!
