USP22 Loss Drives Chemotherapy Resistance in Small Cell Lung Cancer — But Creates a Metabolic Vulnerability

I just finished with nine months of treatment for cancer. First they poison you, then they mutilate you, then they burn you. I’ve had more fun. And when it’s over, you’re so glad that you’re grateful to absolutely everyone. And I am. The trouble is, I’m not a better person. I was in great hopes that confronting my own mortality would make me deeper, more thoughtful. Many lovely people sent books on how to find a more spiritual meaning in life. My response was, “Oh, hell, I can’t go on a spiritual journey — I’m constipated.”
Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]

On Assurances Given By Medical Practitioners To A PatientMy still swollen face lathered with moisturiser & splashed with decades-old aftershave at 2am to stop disquieting sensations, after I applied Efudix as per my doctors instructions, has me considering what is a reasonable degree of confidence for a patient to have in assurances about short, medium and long term outcomes from their doctor.
The topic is complex. And emotional for some patients etc

IORT is typically a component in the multidisciplinary treatment of locally advanced and recurrent #cancer, in combination with external beam radiation, surgery, and #chemotherapy. As a growing trend in recent years.

And so it begins... Off to hospital again, first four hour chemotherapy session. Just as I'm starting to feel stronger, this will kick the hell out of me again. Has to be done, but highly unpleasant.
At least I can read during it.
