I love New York.. well specifically Soho❤️❤️ ⠀ In January 2011 I was diagnosed with a cancer called Myxofibrosarcoma, my treatment was 7-1/2 weeks of daily radiation. Our kids were 5 and 6 years old and to celebrate “mom’s done treatment and cancer free” we went on a magical trip to Disneyland!!💫💫 It truly is the happiest place on earth.🤗⠀ ⠀ What does this have to do with New York City?? ⠀ ⠀ Well— in January 2018 I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer, my treatment was one full year of 💉🙄 chemotherapy. Our kids are now 13 and 14 years old and this time to celebrate “mom’s done treatment and cancer free” we booked New York!! #ohyababy Jason and I have been to NYC a few times but this would be the kids first experience. ⠀ ⠀ 👻 SURPRISE!!!! Eleven days before we were set to fly out and celebrate LIFE, we got the news. My cancer returned with a vengeance and I restarted chemotherapy on the Monday (6days before we’re supposed to leave). ⠀ ⠀ Who would have thought?? Not us!! I knew my prognosis wasn’t great but I just thought we’d have more time!? I guess it’s just one more confirmation that we don’t get to choose our challenges.. only how we respond to them. ⠀ ⠀ The trip will still be AMAZING.. just a little slower, a few pain killers and maybe a trip back to the hotel for a nap now and then. Regardless— we are creating moments, having fun and making memories. #lookoutnewyorkcity #thesparksareintown #tripupdatescoming⠀ ⠀ ⠀ (at SIXTY Soho) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzXAIYvIeV1/?igshid=186aaqoqxx1fv
