Poisoned Bald and Still Standing

In this very special episode of Poisoned, Bald, and Still Standing, I’m joined by Laura—better known in my circle as the God Bless You Girl. Both of us are now eight-year cancer survivors, but our connection began in the most unexpected, silent, and uplifting way. In this episode, we’re telling that full-circle story. It’s about how the smallest gestures can make the biggest impact, the silent connections made in chemo rooms, and how sometimes the universe puts the right people in your path—exactly when you need them.

Proof that life after cancer can be full of laughter, love, and second chances. Come hang out with me and my dad as we chat about his cancer—he’s an 18-year, two-time survivor, and I’m 8-years cancer-free.

This episode I am joined by a friend that I met while volunteering at the Cancer Institute and Research Center. Laura lost her husband 5 years ago to Pancreatic Cancer and then she was diagnosed a few years later with Breast Cancer. We discuss her husbands diagnoses and then losing him to cancer and her own battle with cancer.

This episode I sit down with Jorja Johnson, Owner of Ideal Source Wellness to discuss the methods of which I was able to lose my weight that I gained from my Chemo Treatments and the Steroids.

I celebrated a birthday this month and it brought with it a lot of reflection and thanksfulness that I saw another birthday. I am starting a series on what the chemo treatments were like. This is round 1.

I love Spas! And I love a good facial and so I treated myself every Saturday during the duration of my Chemo with a Facial at Emerge Medical Spa with Savannah! Today, Savannah joins me to discuss the process.

I wasn't prepared for the emotions attached to the first trip post chemo. The recovery takes time and takes its toll.

Lisa and Amy discuss Juicing and what is working for them.

Update: Andrea had surgery on the 26th! She didn't need a hysterectomy and 95% of the tumor was gone! Her colostomy will be able to be reversed after she has healed from the surgery!
