Do you know what today is?!

It's my #bariversary!

(In my best Tony! Toni! Tone! voice.)

I have always struggled with my #weight. My entire life.

However, the effects of my MVAC chemo cocktail completely jacked up my metabolism, and despite my efforts, prescription medications, and physician supervision, my weight skyrocketed to an all-time high. Not only did it continue to climb, but it was affecting my health and triggered new diagnoses that will follow me for life.

Great quality time with the girls and phenomenal start to my #surgiversary, #stomaversary, #remissionversary & #bariversary week.

Tomorrow, the 23rd, is 8 years since I had my life-saving #RadicalCystectomy with #RadicalHysterectomy to remove my #BladderCancer (including a grapefruit-sized primary tumor that had grown through my bladder wall and was attaching to my cervix), placed my #Stoma for my #urostomy and left me with #NoEvidenceOfDisease.
