Hey babes💕
T-minus 10 days till surgery! My liver resection is scheduled for Friday March 6th — In just a few days, my life could be changed. I mean, getting a cancer diagnosis at 27 already changed my life, but getting approved for a surgery that could save my life is truly indescribable.
Last Friday I was in Houston for my pre-op appointment to get cleared for surgery. I did bloodwork, an EKG, and a chest X-ray, and overall everything looked pretty good! I also saw my hepatologist here in Austin, and he cleared me as well, though he was a little concerned about how low my white blood cell count is. We messaged my oncologist to see if we can get an injection prescribed to help boost that. Since my immune system is already lower from chemo, we want it as strong as possible to help fight infection after surgery.
My next appointment is tomorrow back in Houston with my surgeon to go over final details and answer any last questions. After that… I’m officially in the final countdown to surgery NEXT WEEK!
In the meantime, I’ve been in full prep mode — making arrangements for Stevie care while we’re gone, wrapping things up at work, soaking in my last bits of gym time before recovery mode kicks in, and starting to pack my hospital bag.
And lastly, as I head into surgery, I’ll be taking six weeks of unpaid leave to recover, including two weeks staying in Houston for post-op monitoring. Many of you have asked how you can support during this season, so I’ve created a GoFundMe to help cover essential living expenses while I focus on healing. If you feel called to contribute or share, I’m incredibly grateful. I love my hot girl support squad!!🫶🏽
