Dear Reader,
Taylor here—you might have noticed that our little newsletter has been on a mini hiatus these past few months. I’m reaching out to give a little update on my partner-in-fragrance Cassie. You all know we originally began as penpals during the early days of lockdown and have since bonded over our shared love for rom coms and fragrances. We’ve chosen to take a step back from the newsletter as Cassie’s health is a priority.
In May she began having some trouble breathing, after not being taken seriously by her doctor an ER trip in July led to a CT scan that found a 4-6cm mass just outside of her trachea. After 3 biopsies she started to get answers: Stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma.
I encourage you to check out her GoFundMe set up by her lovely friend Raichelle. This goes into a little more detail of how you can help Cassie and her devoted husband Jared stay strong throughout these next six months of treatment.
If you or a loved one have experienced chemo/Hodgkin Lymphoma and are able to offer some helpful and kind advice/tips to help her on her journey, I welcome you to respond to our email. (I’m also sure she wouldn’t mind a few cozy/uplifting book recommendations!)
Thank you for reading and smelling with us. We’ll be back soon and stronger than ever! Cancer sucks and our girl is going to kick its ass.
Taylor
