Good morning Troopers, HAPPY FRIDAY! I’m her

Good morning Troopers,

HAPPY FRIDAY!

I’m here to give you all the latest update:

My brain surgery recovery has been going great…I honestly can’t complain. My left hearing is still not 100%, but my doctor said it will get better with time. This week most of my stitches were removed and the incision is healing nicely. My neurosurgeon did a beautiful job!

Thankfully, my post op brain MRI showed that the inflammation had gone down, but as a precaution, my team of doctors suggested we perform some localized radiation (aka: gamma knife once again) to kill off any possible remaining bad cells.

Thank you for your constant thoughts, prayers and positive energy.

Heading in now to start treatment.

As always, I will update you all once I can.

Xoxo ,

Mari 💕

Hi Troops,

While this isn’t quite the update I wanted to give, it’s one I know I need you guys for. Just last week I had my routine brain scan done. Just a few hours later, my doctor was already calling me and with that I knew something wasn’t right as we typically discuss the results days later. My doctor sounded worried and questioned me on whether I was experiencing any symptoms. I explained that I was struggling with my speech and with formulating words or finishing a sentence. I explained that it was driving me crazy and I couldn’t figure out why. It was in that moment that everything clicked. My doctor informed me that one the tumors that was previously treated had grown and was causing major swelling in the left side of my brain. After much discussion, it was decided that the best option would be to finally surgically remove the tumor. Tomorrow, I will report bright and early for surgery. I trust my team of doctors and their confidence in a successful surgery. I will update you all once I can but would appreciate all the prayers, positive energy, and good vibes that you can send my way!

Xoxo,

Mari 💕

Hi Troopers,

I’ve done a lot of updating lately, so I want to switch gears and be a resource to you all! I have a long day of treatment today so I’m taking this time to answer questions & just like you were always told…there are no dumb questions! If you prefer to keep it broad, drop some topics you’d want me to talk about. 💓

Happy Thursday troopers!

After a crazy couple of weeks dealing with both my left eye situation and an almost week hospital stay, I’m happy to say im back home and doing much much better.

As for this week, I’m back on the grind. It’s a crazy week filled with both physical & occupational therapies, treatments, and back to enjoying my baby girl and hubby!

As for what’s next, a follow up appointment at Bascom Palmer and a brain scan.

Thank you to each and every single one of you who have and continue to check in.

Love you all ❣️

I came back to Instagram and just like that I wound up in and out of hospitals and doctors for the weeks to follow. Yay me. These last few weeks have been a whirlwind to say the least. As I sit writing this from a hospital bed, I can’t help but laugh at the craziness of my life.

As for my week long vision scare, numerous of tests/images were performed and concluded thankfully that no lesions were found behind the eyes, nor any changes to the brain in comparison to Januarys brain MRI. This sudden change and sensitivity of vision to my left eye is a brain radiation side effect. I’m so thankful for my team of physicians down at the University of Miami, Bascom Palmer for their time and care.

On top of that, this past month, my family and I caught a stomach virus that’s been going around. Due to myself being immunocompromised, it has definitely hit me a lot harder than my husband and daughter. What lasted just 24 hours for them, has lasted me 2 weeks to get over. I am fatigued, tired, dehydrated, and just overall depleted. But I’m hoping soon I can regain strength and get back to my normal self.

and as always, thank you for all your love and prayers my troopers!

Love you all,

Xoxo 💕

Boobie Troopers, IM BACK.

Hi troopers! I know it’s been a while since I’ve last posted but honestly, I almost didn’t know how or when to come back. But after a much needed time away from social media, I’m here to check in and hopefully make my way back.

I’m sorry for not being active these past few months. I’m not sorry for taking a much needed break, but I’m sorry for the worry it has caused many of you. Life in general is chaotic, but throw in a metastatic diagnosis, and life gets even crazier.

The reality is, I didn’t have the mental or physical strength to scroll through social media, let alone post. I continue to battle exhaustion and I’ve been dealing and focusing on my physical and mental health issues. Not to mention the holidays, in what should be a happy time of year, put me in a funk, making me question if this holiday would be my last. & to top it all off, I am going through the loss of my first furbaby.

I want to thank each and every single one of you who have reached out, checked in, or who have sent me endless love. I love you all. Please send hope and prayers my way.

Xoxo 💕

A huge thank you to everyone that has reached out

A huge thank you to everyone that has reached out to me whether it be through texts, calls, or prayers in anticipation for todays treatment. Session number 5 really knocked me out this time around, so if I haven’t responded yet, I sincerely apologize. I have read all the messages but don’t quite have the energy to respond individually. I love and appreciate you all. 🍃 ✨

Xoxo,

Mari
