This round has been rough. The pain and nausea have kept me mostly in bed, and the medication has kept me asleep for a lot of it.

I don’t have a big, meaningful update. I’m sick, exhausted and trying to get through one hour at a time. If I haven’t answered you, it isn’t personal. I just don’t have much of me available right now.

Thank you for continuing to check on me, read my work and support me through the days when cancer takes everything I have.

If you’d like to help me personally, all of the ways to do that are here:

I’m Izzy

Welcome to mojo and the mess, This isn’t the blog I ever expected to write — but it’s the one I needed.

I’m Izzy, a twenty-something living (and dying) with terminal cancer, navigating the messy, heartbreaking, unexpectedly beautiful in-between. Here, you’ll find raw reflections, real talk, dog snuggles (shoutout to Mojo), and the unfiltered truth about what it’s like to face the end of your life before it really got going.

This space is for the ones who’ve felt forgotten, the ones who don’t know what to say, and the ones who are still holding on. It’s not always pretty, but it’s always honest.

Thanks for being here. You’re part of the mess now — and I mean that in the best way.
