Chemo round 164 There are so many strong emotions going through me right now and a lot of things are happening in the world today it's overwhelming at times especially on top of having cancer. What shouldn't be happening is Cancer research and funding getting cut at all
Happy 4 Year Cancerversary to me!
Cancer has taken a lot, but it’s also given me:
🏄 Surfing
🏔️ Hiking the Dolomites
⛵ Sailing in Santorini
🎤 Meeting Shania Twain (!!)
Grateful for every moment. Let’s keep making cancer less shitty. 💛 ##MakeCancerLessShitty
@lungcancerisgay@CancerSuckLess There were times I wished for diarrhea due to the severity of the constipation I had -- crazy wish.
Hoping things are as well as possible for you...
Yep, I am surprised the makers of chemo-meds have not re-marketed them as anti-obesity meds like Ozempic. 🤷♂️
#CancerSucks
A few months ago I joined @CancerSuckLess as a group to help raise awareness of the reality of the cancer experience And educate people through my experience with a focus on the reality of the side effects of treatment in effort to show the need for improved care and support
Lost 15lbs in a day—who needs a gym when you’ve got gut-wrenching constipation and a toilet marathon? 💩 Shoutout to my iron meds for the extra challenge! #toiletgains#keepinitreal#makecancerlessshitty
Through every season—holidays, hardships, and even cancer—this crew has been my rock. 💛 They make the hard days lighter & the good days sweeter. Support like this makes cancer less shitty. Grateful for love, laughter, & strength. ❤️ #MakeCancerLessShitty#SupportMatters
Sometimes all we can do is keep trying
Keep trying to be the best we can do
Keep trying to be nicer
Keep trying to be more understanding
Keep trying to love better
Keep trying to educate better
Keep trying to grow as a person
Keep trying to get through the hard days
As we enter the holiday season this year so many memories come back over the last 9 holiday seasons since I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Cance changes everything and not just for the patient but the caregivers the support around you friends family and more.
November is National Family Caregivers Month (NFCM) Caregivers play vital roles in lives of cancer patients & survivors, offering us emotional support, practical assistance, and encouragement. Who is part of your caregiver community? How do they help you to #makecancerlessshitty
