COOKIES!

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Inspiring & Encouraging  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, July 3, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
I figure if my shaky hands can trudge through typing, autocorrect, text to talk probs, backspacing, and misspelled nonsense to try and whip out some variance of an intelligent blog post… I can fumble-finger through the Uber Eats app and ORDER INSOMNIA COOKIES! And they...

JUST WANT SLEEP

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Inspiring & Encouraging  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, July 3, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
Sllleeepppp! All I wanted to do today was sleep! I am perpetually exhausted. Who knows why? Could be one thing or the combination of all the thousand things going on in a given moment. Keith brought Brady to the hospital to see me (we aren’t...

IF I COULD BE ANYWHERE ELSE

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Inspiring & Encouraging, Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, July 2, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
If I could be anywhere else… I would be at Lake Ouachita camping with my kids and Keith, laughing around a campfire. Campfire smoke smells so good. I would be on Bleeker Street in Greenwich Village, NYC, on the look out for a place with...

I’M NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Inspiring & Encouraging  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 30, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
I’m not very good at being a downer. I do NOT like to complain a lot. I’m not very good at wallowing in my feelings for a long time. I mean, give me just a minute, but then… I’m a fixer. I’m a doer. I...

CARRYING AROUND HOPE AS A LITTLE TREAT

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Inspiring & Encouraging  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 29, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
Keith and I are praying over a host of notes I made this morning about my condition, my deficits, and my concerns. Taking brain surgery off the table, at least temporarily, was not on my dance card. I am sorely dejected. There is probably not...

An update might be hard because the tremors in my right hand are through the roof. But here goes… It was a hard and emotional day. I made an attempt to get out of the bed and into the chair with Keith’s help, and I...

So the test results… The abdominal CT yielded nothing alarming, thankfully. I asked for it, because I wanted to rule out any abscesses or other things that might have been causing me the pain I was having. When I attempted to stand yesterday, the pain...

ULTRASOUND STAT

In Glioblastoma Cancer  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 25, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
Busy day! Ultrasound going down this morning on both legs to check for blood clots. I was unable to walk at all yesterday after a very successful walk the day before. Then, after that ultrasound, I had an abdominal CT to rule out abscess, misplaced...
