I can partially get why muggles don't understand that carcinomies have to deal with late effects from treatment and fear of recurrence. I just cannot understand how there are still medical professionals who just don't understand this.

Walked out of my girl’s last appointment after a year of treatment including chemo, three surgeries, egg harvesting and radiation and got this. Anyone else with a cancer tattoo?

So much of what I did during cancer treatment was trying to make the muggles in my life more comfortable. Let the cancer muggles be uncomfortable.

Health insurance is wild. You pay every month for months, years, decades, in case something catastrophic happens. Then it does and the insurers are like yeah no not THAT kind of catastrophe.

Bone health screening. No gatekeeping by age alone. Alongside all post menopausal women, anyone (of any age) taking treatments/meds &/or having surgical interventions that risk their bone health.

Five years ago today a surgeon sat across the desk and opened a file. I remember sitting there looking at him hoping that all she had endured had paid off and the beast in her breast and lymph nodes was dead. When he said it was…I still can’t even. Happy US Thanksgiving.

Life in survivorship lessons…When you’re sitting around the dinner table telling what you think is a funny story about your experience and you realize from the looks on everyone’s faces that is was actually pretty traumatic.

When you “tell your cancer story,” you cohere the incoherent mess of what happened to you.

Too many times my daughter was challenged about her treatment choices. Too many times…when she just wanted to live. And she did.

And we change the journey by thinking outside the sad…outside the despair…and we learn that laughing is possible even when it seems it can’t be. You are a champion of the art!!

I watched my girl go through all of this following treatment in 2019. I bet your hair will never be “just” your hair ever again. It certainly isn’t for her.

All drugs should be legal and available to cancer patients — if we have to take a bunch of terrible awful drugs, we should also be able to try all the fun stuff. ✨🍄✨

This can be a touchy subject in the cancer community but the biggest decider for me was the possibility the battle analogy presents that someone could have won if they’d only fought harder. Nope. Just…nope.

The number of appts my girl has had this last few months has felt like the beginning. We’re five years out. She’s had to tell her story over and over, bringing cancer back into focus in ways we’ve been trying so hard to hide behind a curtain. The never ending story continues.

Recent epiphany. Talking about it with someone isn’t going to help. They cannot fix it. Well…unless they have a cure for cancer in their back closet. Which they don’t. So…
