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...

EMOTIONAL DAY

In Glioblastoma Cancer  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 12, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
I’m emotional today. Not quite sure why, except sometimes reality sets in, and it’s difficult to fight it off. I feel a little sad, and I’m so tired. Just had blood work, and now we’re waiting to see the doctor at West Clinic. I rested...

SHOW UP

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Inspiring & Encouraging  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 6, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
Keith says I don’t give myself enough credit. I’m trying. I think about it a lot. I don’t like this new story, and it certainly isn’t the one I thought I’d be a character in, but showing up best I can is what I can...

LITTLE DID SHE KNOW

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 3, 2025  •   Leave a Comment
This picture was taken December 2, 2024, at the Hernando Christmas Parade. It was such a fun night! She didn’t know it at the time, but… In 9 days, she would have a weird, little seizure standing at the sink in her bathroom. In 15...
