One Boob, Two Boobs. Red Boob, White Boob.

My mom took some of what she's learned about my journey and made it into a Dr. Suess-esque poem.

One boob, two boobs
Red boob, white boob.
Black boob, brown boob.
Old boob, new boob.

This one has a little scar.
This one has a little mar.
Say! What a lot of boobs there are!

Some boobs are thin.
Some boobs are fat.
The fat one has a little brown hat!

Some are sad.
Some are mad.
And some are very, very bad!

Why are they sad, mad, and bad?
I don't know.
But I am glad it's not my nads!

Eeeek!!! I finished 6 weeks of radiation!!!

Holy cats! No more treatments! I have a certificate, my boost copper cutout, 

and a boob (that's simultaneously happy and mad) to prove it! 

What will I do with all my free time now?! (30/30)


On my first day of treatment I heard someone ring the Victors Bell bell 

and felt my time was so far away! 6 weeks later, it was finally my turn! (30/30)


Celebrating "graduation" with a little Minnesota in Michigan! 

Unfortunately the Twins didn't win 😕 (30/30)


The end of phase one and the beginning of Boost week!

There's something oddly refreshing about celebrating the end of week 5 with the the 

Young Adult Support Group. Our stories are all so different and the same at the same time. 

Plus we (unfortunately) now know how to speak the same language. (25/30) 


Surprise! Here's to celebrating the beginning of my final week by bringing wine in 

my very own (complimentary!) #vivajennz bag! (26/30)


I came out of my appointment to these photos taken by @witchythuggrrrlpop

while she was patiently waiting for me #nowiwanticecream #actuallyialwaysdo (26/30)


Boost (week) cookies! They came in pairs #oneredandonewhite and were made using 

my boost copper cutout as a mold! Peyton, JD, and @sanderso7 are just as excited 

(and super creative) as I am to be done! (27/30)


A new doctor was added to my entourage, his expertise and the 

view of the new digs are all pretty outstanding! (28/30)


My future plan for celebrating the end of radiation, except with balloons 

A rare view inside the radiation room

The Radiation Oncology parking lot is *clearly* one of the most dangerous places in

 Ann Arbor! #actuallywearetoofatiguedtostealanything #theclubapparentlystillextsts (23/30)



An uneventful Friday = a compilation of various photos taken thus far. 

The mask makes my goggles and breathing machine seem like nothing! #batcaveparkinglot #SuperBatsphotoshoot (24/30)



Flashing the doctor and side effects

"Does it itch? Can I take a look? (I flash the doctor, trench coat style, except with a gown) 

Oooh, that *looks* like it should itch!" #oneredandonewhite #icouldsleepfordays #sideeffects (19/30)


Good bye June. Hello July. There's actually an end in sight! 

#superbatcaveparkingpass (20/30)

A day off of treatments is clearly the real reason for fireworks on the 4th of July! 

No need to dress patriotic for the 4th, my body is already red, white, and blue! #oneredandonewhite #blueradiationsticker #blueboostmapingonboobandpit (21/30)

BEAM READY. BEAM ON. The view from the outside. (22/30)
