Lumps & Humps - The Audio Files

Hi, I’m Alli.Within six weeks, I was diagnosed with two completely separate cancers: Stage I HER2+ breast cancer and Stage III colorectal cancer.I’m 44.Until then, my health history was… deliciously boring.And then—two cancers.It’s as wild as it sounds. So I started writing about it.And then I thought: not everyone has time (or energy) to read.So this is that—my blog, in audio form.Unfiltered. Honest. Occasionally dark. Sometimes funny.No silver linings. No toxic positivity.Just the truth, as it happens.Welcome to the madness.To see the written word, visit lumpsandhumps.com

  Diagnosis / Treatment Update: Post-LAR, Pre-Chemo 2.0

  Sep 7, 202611 min

  Six weeks post-LAR, I’ve been doing everything I can to recover—so I can knocked down again. In this update: getting back to the gym, what my InBody scan says about the muscle I lost during treatment, some new nerve and shoulder weirdness, acupuncture, the current state of my post-LAR poop, and prepping for chemo 2.0. I’m starting six more cycles of 5FU and Leucovorin while continuing Herceptin, and I am cranky, scared, and very ready to get on with my life. But first, apparently, we gotta keep mitigating my risk of death.

  The Plunge

  Aug 23, 202614 min

  One year ago, on what would have been my eleventh wedding anniversary, I did my first cold plunge. I was going to do it once, for bragging rights. But I returned. In that water I started to learn how to sit with discomfort, stop fighting myself, and trust that I was safe—even when every part of me wanted out. Six months later, I would need that lesson more than I ever could have imagined.
