"Hello, I wanted to give you a cancer update. This week is scan week. I have scans Monday and Thursday. Scan days are really hard for me. It's really hard to be positive. Scan days bring a lot of emotions, fear, sadness, worry. These days serve as a reminder that I have cancer and brings up some really hard times and a lot of what-ifs. I think this time around it's especially hard because my last scan result shows my cancer has spread to multiple new parts of my body. The last conversation I had with my doctors was really scary to think about. I am scared. I really don't want to face the results of these scans or the scary conversation with my doctors about the next steps. But with all that being said, I'm trying to remind myself who I am, the Melanie that I am, the Melanie that's been fighting cancer since 11 and is still fighting today. I know I'm going to keep fighting and I know I'm going to keep living with so much hope. This week's going to be hard, but I'm going to get through it. I will keep you updated throughout the week. Talk very soon. I love you."
