My journey with Metastatic Breast Cancer

One Week in Disney

We recently returned from our week long trip to Disney. A full week of park hopping, character dining and the Halloween Party. I am exhausted! It was a great trip filled with so many wonderful memories that I know my children will always remember. I am so thankful to my parents that took us on this trip and allowed us to escape our reality for a week and make these wonderful memories.

For one week, we did not discuss my cancer or even acknowledge its presence and it felt AMAZING! I felt wonderful for the majority of the week and was able to walk almost 10 miles a day…..there is A LOT of walking involved in a trip to Disney. Since my diagnosis I have been trying to eat healthier and have eliminated sugar. Well for one week in Disney I allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted! I am not ashamed to admit that I had two Dole Whips a day!!! If you have never had a Dole Whip it is a must try item!!

It was a wonderful week and I look forward to the day when I can return again and make more memories with my family. For now it is back to reality- back to work, school and working on being the healthiest and strongest cancer fighting girl that there is!!
