Wallet repair turned out better than my damaged fingernail (from medication to treat La Cabrona-the breast cancer). I used iron on appliqué to cover up the areas where the threads on the wallet canvas was bare. I also painted the flap black because that spot was also yucky looking, but now matches the black branches. I have something to do on those sleepless nights.👍🏼 #cancer #liveinthemoment #life #bekind #gucci by @gpalde

City of Hope appointment went fine, but Verzenio (abemaciclib) dose reduced again because it is interfering with creatinine levels, though not renal disease. Ay La Cabrona (the breast cancer)! #breastcancerwarrior #cancer #liveinthemoment #cancertreatment #life by @gpalde

Coming back from Hawaii. We only caught the mild part of hurricane Lala while in Oahu. Side effects from Verzenio medication for La Cabrona (the breast cancer), still causes nail loss, hair thinning and bathroom issues, but not stopping me from living my best life as much as possible. #breastcancerwarrior #liveinthemoment #cancer #nails #life by @gpalde

La Cabrona (the breast cancer) and I polished up the leather trim. It turned out nice. Great late night handbag therapy for someone on meds who has a hard time sleeping 👍🏼#breastcancerwarrior #liveinthemoment #cancer #bekind #handbag by @gpalde

Day 2 washing the Loewe bag. La Cabrona (the breast cancer) and I spent a while washing the ink spill and dirtiness out of this bag. Great way to keep my mind off of medication side effects. #breastcancerwarrior #liveinthemoment #cancer #life #handbag by @gpalde

Handbag therapy is my late night go to activity because I don’t sleep well. La Cabrona (the breast cancer) and I work on rehab for handbags and wallets. Making them look good (when possible) makes me feel better. #breastcancerwarrior #liveinthemoment #cancer #handbag #coachbag by @gpalde

Handbag therapy or just spending too much money on stuff I don’t need? La Cabrona (the breast cancer) is still there, but staying put (not spreading)! Beautifying preowned wallets and handbags is my new hobby/therapy. #breastcancerwarrior #liveinthemoment #cancer #luxurybags #bekind by @gpalde

An attempt at beauty. Weird. Look silly to try to look pretty. I’ll just end up putting on makeup. Such a facade. #liveinthemoment #bekind #beauty #cancer #breastcancerwarrior by @gpalde

Breast MRI done today at 5:00 am. Very uncomfortable. Mammogram at the end of the month. Getting it done to monitor La Cabrona (the breast cancer).#breastcancerwarrior #liveinthemoment #cancer #life #bekind by @gpalde

“How are you doing?” We all go through so much sometimes. Do you give the polite “I’m fine”answer or do you say what’s really going on with you? ☺️ #mentalhealth #cancer #life #breastcancer #bekind by @gpalde
