Drove to Tampa last night with my trusty sidekicks, Mom and Andy.
Not so good dinner at Longhorn and a leaky bathroom ceiling at Embassy Suites and subsequent room change at 1:30am rounded out our night.
We met with the Peritoneal Surgeon, Dr Dineen and his Fellow, Dr. Strong. After much discussion we left with a plan. I will do 3 months of chemo, Folfiri, and then have new scans. If the cancer is smaller or even the same we will operate to clear the three areas. (With chemo alone there is 18-24 months life expectancy. With Surgery adds more time. Chance of Reoccurrence after a successful surgery 80% chance.
SOOOO while this is TOTAL shit news, what I hear is that 20 people out of 100 don’t have a reoccurrence in five years. Make it to and thru surgery, then why can’t this be me? #GOALS
I’m not going to lie. I am WICKED mad that this is ultimately the result of COVID and elective procedures being cancelled in early 2020 which included my colonoscopy. It’s completely ridiculous that colonoscopies and Mammograms were stopped. They are NOT elective!
Get YOUR colonoscopy!!!
It can save your life!!
Finally, So hard for me to answer but I do thank those of you that keep asking. “What can I do for you?” Seems like an easy question. Perhaps If I wasn’t so independent. Right now, I feel good and will continue to live as normal as possible. I will be reducing stress and adding in as many fun times and adventures as arise. For those still determined, most helpful I guess would be gas cards for the many trips to Tampa/Moffitt, Amazon GC for all of the supplements I take daily, and I won’t say no to fun times, hugs, and spa/massage gift cards (great idea Paula J)! Those are great stress reducers, right?lol 
Most important please continue to lift me and my family up in Prayer. Please pray for complete healing!
Love to all 
Love you Angela! Cab and I continue to pray for you and your family 🙏

Love you girl. 💙
You can do it, Angela!
Hi Angela so sorry for the news. I think of you often, and will keep you all in my prayers. Hope to be home by the summer and would love to get together. My phone is on all the time. Miss you! Big hugs!!! If anyone can do this, it’s you.
Angela, This is not great news. Sadly, the struggle continues. But keep your head high as best as you can. Positivity is a healer and you have an army of praying people backing you. Let’s meet somewhere sunny by the water soon for more fun times.
Bernie & I are praying for you & you sure have awesome sidekicks! Have known your mom for 40 years, & our son was her real estate assistant as he launched his real estate career. We agree about the Covid lockdowns!!! Hopefully you can get on nat’l TV & radio & tell your story to make sure No More! The Riley Gaines of patients’ rights, so ” routine” scans never halted again! Thousands (millions?) following you can make a HUGE DIFFERENCE! Rick Scott & Marco Rubio, Brian Mast & all the rest. I think Trump would give you a platform. He initiated “Right To Try” experimental drugs! Local channels with national affiliates. Would be happy to help! You ARE AMAZING & we are confident you will not only survive this unwelcome development, but will thrive & be heard! New medical breakthroughs every day & with AI, will come even faster! And with your voice of experience, important “routine” scans will NEVER BE DENIED AGAIN!
You and your family are in my prayers!! Prayers for 20% 🙏. You got this 💪
Angela – you are one tough chick .
