Our Founder's Cancer Journey

Our founder, Haley Reggio Pederson, has written a book detailing many experiences of her journey through four treatment regimes over the last four years.  Most of her chemotherapy protocols were in-hospital stays, including the two stem cell transplants. She has a rare form of Ovarian Cancer called Yolk Sac Tumor or also known as a Germ Cell Tumor.

Excerpt from Chapter Two.

"We entered the doctor’s office together, prepared for the worst but clinging to a fragile thread of optimism.

In that office, time stood still. The doctor delivered a devastating blow: the final test revealed the tumor was malignant. The cancer had invaded my body, leaving me in shock and disbelief. The words echoed in my ears, and my mind struggled to process the weight of this revelation. I grasped onto fragments of the conversation, but the details eluded me. It was Chloe who became my lifeline, recounting the information that my mind struggled to retain.

Amid the turmoil, my instinctual response emerged - humor. Making jokes about being a cancer patient became a defense mechanism, a coping strategy in the face of unimaginable trauma. It was a realization that laughter, no matter how bittersweet, offered a brief respite from the overwhelming darkness that had engulfed my world."

Haley has also designed a series of planners specifically for cancer patients as they navigate chemotherapy, radiation, tracking side effects, organizing doctor appointments, and more. These planners are great to give as gifts to loved ones recently diagnosed with cancer. These planners/organizers are custom designed for fighters to keep up with the whirlwind of appointments, side effects, and thoughts that happened during a treatment plan. This is a 12 Month, 206-page book for you to write down medication lists, appointments, side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and your thoughts. The book has monthly and weekly fillable calendars divided into 3-month sections. There are two sizes: 6x9 inches, fitting in most purses and backpacks, and 8.5x11 inches which is normal paper size in America.

This thoughtful tool provides a whole body and mind approach to organizing and managing your week while navigating the challenges of your cancer journey. With dedicated sections for appointments, medications, symptom tracking, and journalling, this planner ensures you stay on top of your treatment plan.  Stay organized, focused, and motivated with our Weekly Planner for Cancer Patients.

In these planners, you will find

  • Fillable pages for Medication Lists at the beginning of each 3-month section.
  • Two pages for Doctor Appointments to keep track of when they are planned and any notes you want to discuss during the appointment or notes you need to remember from the appointment.
  • Two pages per 3-month section are dedicated to chemotherapy treatment side effect tracking and notes.
  • A page is dedicated every quarter to radiation treatment, side effects, and notes.
  • Next, you will find a blank monthly planner and five sets of fillable weekly planners and journal pages.

To create this planner, this author and survivor used her experience fighting ovarian cancer for four years, including four different chemotherapy protocols, two stem cell transplants, and many hospitalizations.

Once completed, these books are an honest record of the fighter’s history, side effects, and thoughts that can be kept and cherished for years.
