  2. #SanFrancisco based study finds 80% of #AsianAmerican women with #LungCancer never smoked & #researchers are trying to figure out why.

    5 yrs ago, Vicky Ni got a call from her doctor. She'd gone in for an X-ray for a pinched nerve. The next thing she knew, she was sitting in an #oncologist's office.

    The 48 yr old mother of 2 was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, 2nd most common #cancer in both men &women in #UnitedStates.

  3. Yesterday was a pretty mixed bag. We got a call from the #Surgical #Oncologist confirming that the two #biopsies were #cancerous, :btr_bocchi_pain:​which wasn’t surprising, but was still hard to hear. :fuminodepression3:​

    Later that evening, our son (who lives just around the corner) came over to see us (but mostly Sami, who’s his birth mom), and after some talking, we watched a #movie he hadn’t seen before - #GhostInTheShell 🤖​. We had a lot of great #discussions after that. All in all, a good night. 💤​

  4. CW: TW mentions death/suicide

    Today is the 3rd #anniversary of my grandfather’s death, which came 5 months after the death of my beloved grandmother (I’m estranged from my parents). Two days after my Papa’s #funeral, my dear friend Cliff died - on the very day I was supposed to be taking him to the #oncologist.

    I #wrote about that horrible period of my life - about #death and #loss and #love and #grief - in my personal essay in #AfterLife from #Haymarket #Books.

    I hope it #helps someone. Anyone.♥️
