Left Foot Lauren has a left foot again!
Lots of big things happening in my life this week.
I tried on some wigs to find a few cute styles.
I received my first real prosthetic leg.
I had surgery to place my port for chemo, which starts on Monday.
This next chapter is about to start, and it won’t be a short one. And it won’t be an easy one. And it will overlap with this current chapter of prosthetic training. But once the chemo chapter is done, I will be able to handle anything. #amputee #cancersucks #sarcomasucks #chemotherapy
My second round of chemo wasn’t that bad although I had 2 allergic reactions during my Benadryl drip. My body seems to be coping well after this round and I’m not as lethargic as before . I’m almost reaching the halfway mark of my chemo treatment and I’m so thankful my body is receptive to the chemo drugs. 2 down , 2 more rounds to go Better days are coming really soon #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #chemotherapy #her2breastcancer #breastcancerwarrior
being myself.
something i need to start working on is how i show up to things. i’ve been trying to create a hugely positive vibe in the room because that’s my thing but i need to stop trying to make every head in the room smile and just be me. i think if i put all that energy towards myself, i might have the same effect.
lately, i’ve felt more vulnerable. being out of chemo has made me feel more human and less like a full-time patient but that comes at a cost. when i was in pure survival mode, my mind was at a whole different place. my social anxiety i had before all that is starting to come back, as things slow down. i need to work on replacing the fear in my mind and body with love.
patience, i love you

#FBF On this date 10 years ago, I was heading into my 3rd round of #chemotherapy. I had already lost my hair, experienced just about every chemo side effect and wondered how I was ever going to get through the next 5 rounds of this stuff. But here I am 10 years later, cured and forever #grateful to everyone who helped me along my journey. Now, it's time to give back. This Monday, along with my incredibly talented cast-mates of Legally Blonde, I'm singing at a cabaret to benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. You can find us in Old City Philadelphia at a restaurant called Positano Coast at 7pm. Tickets are $25 in advance and there is a link in my bio. I was one of the lucky ones, but not everyone is, so please help us raise funds to find a cure! Hopefully, I'll see you on Monday night to celebrate my 10 year anniversary! .

Hello shaved head
•
Today I had a little morning shower and the hair started coming out. I knew it was going to come but you can’t help think when the doctor says sometimes he sees people who’s hair doesn’t fall out that that could be you! •
•
Losing my hair was my biggest fear, chemo I could get through but having it fall out in my hands or finding lumps in the pillow was scared me. So I decided I was going to take control from the start of diagnosis and fo do this I got my hair cut from long to a bob to short and shaved sides and today when I pulled it out I freaked out a bit and messaged my friend @keeleighh_xx to come and shave it all off, cancer was NOT taking my hair from me without my permission
•
I can’t tell you how liberating it feels to take control and a breeze or people stroking it feels so amazing! It’s a different look but a sign that will remind me of my strength everytime I look in the mirror. It’s just temporary and if I lose more and go bald, so bloody be it!
•
Thanks @keeleighh_xx for coming last minute, talking me through it and making me love it. You’re amazing
