I’m excited and honored to say I will be joining the Judy Nicholson Kidney Cancer Foundation Board of Directors in 2026. I could never imagine when I was first diagnosed that I would dive headfirst into cancer advocacy. But here we are.

Clip in 4 The Cure 2025 🚲 👏🏻 Happy I got the chance to volunteer for this years Clip In for the Cure✌🏻 all in support for Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and the important work they do day in and day out. #Cansky

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Always gotta hype myself up… anyone else? 😂 #Cansky

“Survivor’s guilt will always question our right to keep going. But just because it’s real doesn’t mean it’s true. Our survival doesn’t erase the experiences we’ve lived through, nor does it mean we’ve stolen someone else’s chance at life...” Read my essay 4 @elephantsandteamag.bsky.social #cansky

Night Thoughts 💭 #Photography

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

#Cansky don’t you wish you could trust your body the same way your doctors do?

I'm sure I've said this before, but if you're still not following the Bluesky-created "Best of Follows" feed, you really should. I check mine daily. IMO it's what a "trending" feed really should look like, and it nails it in a way that Twitter never really could. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I wouldn’t be alive today if he wouldn’t have been my onc. He gave me hope when I needed it most & treated me as a human 1st, patient 2nd. My only regret is not being able to work w/him @swog.org Hope I’m making you proud, Dr. V. I owe you everything! #VogelzangScholars @supportingswog.bsky.social

7/22/25 - First follow-up visit with my oncologist after finishing a year of immunotherapy on 4/1/25. Bloodwork immaculate. Remaining kidney function good. CT scan shows no evidence of disease. Next follow-up on 10/21/25. Life is good! 🧡😁🤞🏻 #KidneyCancer #Cansky #CancerSurvivor

I’ll just put this out there. With the news today about medication this and that for expecting mothers.. We should be putting that much effort into ensuring our children are FED in schools.

So proud of my friend here. She was so great during my early days of my diagnosis. Not only being an ear, but a friend. Helping me get plugged in, etc. These voices matter #Cansky

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

Caregivers: your steadying presence is a lighthouse on rough water. Log your wins—meds managed, rides given, forms filed, meals made, or a patient kind word. Tag a helper who backed you up today. You deserve rest and recognition too. We see you and we thank you. #oncsky #cansky #CaregiverSupport

Life is short, really it is. If there’s 1 thing I’ve learned from being diagnosed with cancer at 32 years of age, it’s that you have to take on opportunities. It can be hard, and I understand it can be coming from a place of privilege that I did not have to go through treatment after my diagnosis.

POV: when my doctor showed me the tumor on my kidney. #Cansky

It's like, "Oh, you think that a special tea will undo a TMPRSS2–ERG fusion that just gave a prostate cancer cell all the tissue-invading abilities of a hyperactive blood vessel? Let me know how that works out."

Bluesky is like if the world was divided into people who are silly and the literal silly police

This is a scary time #Medsky

Mississippi has among the highest incidences of lung cancer in the nation--for many reasons: equity, poverty, health care access, a poisoned environment and high smoking rates. #Medsky #IDsky #Oncosky #COVID #vaccines

#Cansky I invite you to think about •The After • with me. I would appreciate the read and thoughts. 🧡

Nothing is more ironic than paying your medical bill and then in the same day getting an email asking for donations lol. #Cansky

The older I get the more I miss the vibe of “upcoming summer vacations” vibes that were felt in April/May during school.

First day back on IV chemo and I’m feeling hopeful. #cansky #oncsky #chemo

The internet is the scariest place for a newly diagnosed cancer patient. #Cansky #Medsky #Oncsky

Take time for your #mentalhealth folks. Seriously.

Going in 👀

Looking at my bloodwork results on MyChart like…. #Cansky

Too much arguing on here this week what are your all time bangers (complimentary) of bluesky?

I hate how post diagnosis of cancer, you can just be going through your day and be like “oh I had cancer….”. Mind freak is real. Take care of yourself. #Cansky

Thanks for posting, Sid. I read this first thing this morning and have shared it far and wide. No mention of CDMRP or KCRP (Kidney Cancer Research Program) and the appalling cuts for 2025. Very curious to see what happens with the 2026 budget...

If you read one thing today #Cansky make it this, and share it as much as you can. #Oncsky #Medsky www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...
