Hey everyone.   So it's been a few weeks since I've done an update on my ovarian cancer treatment. I was going to do one a couple of weeks ago when I had my first day of chemo this round, but I was really tired, and honestly just didn't feel like it 😕 So I'll give a recap since my last post.  If you ever have questions, please ask. I want to be an open book as much as possible to maybe help others if they are going through something similar.  Also, FYI, with going through chemo again, and my white blood count being really low (see below), I'm very immunocompromised.

A few updates:  🩻 We are doing a full body PET scan tomorrow. I confirmed it will be head to toe for those that always want me to make sure they check everything 🥰 I'll share any information from it with you as soon as I know.  💉💊 I will start chemo on Monday, Oct 9th because there weren't any openings at the infusion lab this Thursday or Friday. We could wait to start next Friday, but I would rather start it now instead of waiting.  🛍️🎁 I'm hosting an online Color Street party link for shopping to help "Kick Cancer in the Ass". Start thinking about holiday shopping too 😉 All proceeds from orders placed towards this party link will be donated to some organizations I have appreciated during this journey. The link for shopping is https://www.allysonwen.com Feel free to share 🥰  🖼️📸 If you want to do something for me, but you aren't sure what, I would love either an old photo or story of us together. I want to start a memory book to look back through...
