about the ending… I’m ok. But I hate the idea that someone newly diagnosed or struggling with their health could come to my page and think, “Oh, Bridget’s having an easy time with chemo.” Or worse, feel like, “Why is it so hard for me?” Please know: I see you. I know what you’re going through. Chemo has challenged me in ways I didn’t know were possible. I don’t want pity. That’s not what this is about. But I do think people walking through this deserve to see the full picture, even the parts I don’t always want to show. So if you’re struggling too, just know you’re not alone. This is the part I’m grateful others before me had the courage to share. So I’m sharing it, too. ILY. Thank you for being here 💗 #chemo #bridgetandmike #breastcancer #hairlossjourney

In case you were wondering when I’ll be done with chemo…. well… same. I’ll let Mike explain but basically my chemotherapy regimen (TCHP) was extremely hard on me and how was I supposed to know?! I knew chemo would make me more sick than I ever have been in my life so some days I just thought I was being weak. Anyway, I’m alive!!! I am fine!! the bad news is being changed from TCHP (Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin and Perjeta to rotating T (taxol) one week and HP 3 weeks later) stretches my chemotherapy treatment out. I didn’t want to announce it at first because I was down about it. But I am believing I will have a better quality of life and it will suck for just a tiny bit longer BUT this will be better for my body in the long run. So it’s probably a blessing in disguise (it always is right?!) but I can’t imagine the look on my face when they told me I would be doing the chemo a little “longer” 🥹 thank you for all of your love and support 💗 I’m seriously so grateful. 🙏🏼💗 #bridgetandmike #breastcancer #chemo #couple
