Diagnosis / Treatment Update: Chemo Week One (Everyone Has a Plan)

Hi, I’m Alli.

Within six weeks, I was diagnosed with two completely separate cancers: Stage I HER2+ breast cancer and Stage III colorectal cancer.

I’m 44.
Until then, my health history was… deliciously boring.

And then—two cancers.

It’s as wild as it sounds. So I started writing about it.
And then I thought: not everyone has time (or energy) to read.

So this is that—my blog, in audio form.

Unfiltered. Honest. Occasionally dark. Sometimes funny.
No silver linings. No toxic positivity.
Just the truth, as it happens.

Welcome to the madness.
