I try to imagine what it must be like to have breast cancer in a place where there are no life-saving treatment options. Where available treatments, like pain medicine and cancer slowing drugs, are out of reach because of the cost. Where there is not enough nutrition to support the body's physiological needs and susceptibility to illnesses is ramped up.

Just a reminder to anyone with a prostate… get it checked!
Prostate cancer is highly treatable when caught early. -

My family and I are struggling to survive in Gaza. I’m facing health problems, while my husband is battling cancer, and we are trying to care for our children with very limited resources. 💔
Any small donation or share can help us get through this difficult time. Please don’t ignore us. 🙏

I saw what the insurance company paid for my cancer meds. Holy 💩
It’s $32,338 for a 30 day supply.
The company that makes it, wrote off $10,000! I had no copay! -
Hubby is officially half way through his chemo treatments.
If you have a prostate, get it checked regularly!

Glad for the #olympics on tv right now. I’ve always enjoyed watching the winter sports.
It’s also something different for hubby and I to watch between tests, appointments, and upcoming treatments (prostate cancer).
Anyone out there either a prostate, get checked regularly. -
I sat on the phone with a friend while her heart broke for her dear one whom she ushered to the gates of heaven. I could do nothing to help in terms of the practical arrangements and things that needed to take place. But I could be present with her while she waited for those who'd come to gently remove his body. I counted it a privilege to be present and it felt holy to me. Rest in peace Bobby. I'm glad you suffer no more. #CancerSucks

@austinnix @technocounselor Very sorry to read this. We exchanged Emails a few weeks ago and she didn’t mention anything negative. I know she fought really hard. #CancerSucks

A few weeks ago I had a colonoscopy and five polyps were removed from me. One of those polyps contained cancerous cells. Thankfully, the cancer cells were isolated to the polyp. If that polyp wasn’t removed it would have evolved into colorectal cancer.
I dodged a bullet and I’m sharing this very personal news because I want to encourage you to be present to and intentional with your health. Cancer doesn’t care that you’re generally quite healthy. Cancer doesn't care if you have no family history of rogue cells. Cancer isn't personal.
Monitor yourself for unusual bumps, cysts and pains. Talk to a doctor about these things. When cancer cells are caught early lives are extended.

Erika gets her port today, and starts chemo Thursday. Every three weeks for six months to start.

With 48 min left in today (for me), I want to say I was declared cancer free 6 years ago today. And I am so here for another 6 y’all.

Home from hospital where the folks from UCSF 13 Long at Parnassus took excellent care of me.
Luna helping me rest and recuperate.
Looking at 3 months of no lifting more than a gallon of milk so the (adult), children will have to pick up the slack!!! -
Current status: Relaxing by the window, sipping stool softener, and wearing a dress. Truly living the dream.
This week's adventure is recovering from a twofer surgery (number 9 since 2020), to repair some consequences of the last #cancer surgery in Feb/2024.
The softball size hernia and tennis ball size hydroseal I have been living with for the last year-ish seem to be on the mend ("your tummy is flat again!" -my lovely bride).
Oscar (my #ostomy), is back to making inappropriate noises and so the docs are advancing me to semi-solid foods today. After the ileus (and subsequent NG tube), last time I pushed back on the team and slowed them down to avoid a repeat.
Today's goal is to shower with actual warm water - very exciting.
If things continue as they have, Frankie the Foley should come out tomorrow and home Tuesday to start mentally and physically preparing for three weeks of radiation to try and shrink the pelvic tumors first week of July.

As Mental Health Awareness Month nears its end, I'd like to shift focus on an issue that affects us all. Healthcare and insurance. #bigbeautifulbill #justsayno #healthcare #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealth #bigbeautifulblunder #mentalhealthishealth #cancersucks #cancer #writerslife #mystory
