It has been 2 days since surgery and already they have me getting up and walking around. This is really hard to do since the pain of getting in/out of bed is agonizing. On another note, I’m able to eat normal food again. So I decided to go for the beef tenderloin as my first [...]

GIRL POWER
I want to start off by thanking my dearest friends for being there every step of the way. From helping create the website, to planning events, and helping me to get up to walk around. Day one of recovery has been quite painful. My incision hurts more than the first surgery. I have the worst [...]
WIGGLE YOUR BIG TOE
Here’s a quick recap of my surgery day: I started my pre-surgery prep work at 8am Friday morning and didn’t finish till about 11pm. By far the worst day of August! I was instructed to drink MoviPrep, a powdered mix with water. It tasted just like floral perfume…absolutely disgusting! I had till noon to finish [...]
THE BIG DAY
Wish me luck! I love you guys!!!
COME SAIL AWAY
Today is my last day of freedom before my pre-surgery prep work. What better way to spend it than on Lake Washington! Thanks to my good friend Devin who took me out on his family boat “Island Stream” and sailed me away from all my stress. Although the weather wasn’t all that great, I still [...]
FEELING LOVED

The overwhelming response I received the last twenty-four hours has brought me so much joy and confidence in knowing that this upcoming surgery will be a success. Prayer is my personal comfort- [...]
caringforcamille.com…GOES LIVE!
Oh boy, today is the launch date for my website. I’m pretty nervous about it because everyone will know what I’ve been going through the past month. I never thought of myself as a blogger because my life was never that interesting to begin with and now here I am blogging about life…. my life! [...]

PISTA SA NAYON
Who ever knew being handicapped comes with perks? Today I had the best parking EVER!!! If you’ve even been to Pista sa Nayon at Seward Park, you would know that parking is annoyingly difficult to find. There’s a shuttle bus that takes you to and from the event and the wait is usually ~45 mins. [...]
JUST A WEE BIT OF STRESS
I have exactly a week before my big surgery day and I can’t tell you how stressed out I am. I know that having this surgery is a GOOD thing since there’s a possibility I may not have to go through chemo or radiation if all goes well. It just seems too soon as I [...]
SIGNING MY LIFE…
Today I met with the surgeon at Seattle Cancer Care Allliance, Dr. Venu Pillarisetty. He consulted with several of his colleagues at a multidisciplinary meeting and presented to me with confidence that he can remove this mass. Hearing that was sweet music to my ears! The surgery is scheduled for August 3rd, exactly one month [...]
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
If you know me, you know that I like to collect mini snow globes. One of my biggest supporters of snow globes is my friend Chris. He travels everywhere and he enjoys the challenge of finding me unique snow globes and finding a way to bring it back to me considering they use to be [...]
