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 – at Asheville, NC

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

Procedure day and chemo round 163. It's a lot just to face and to get ready to get through it No deep insight no motivational words just that it's ok if all you do is get through it

Managing 13 pills daily, plus as-needed meds, can be overwhelming. I number each bottle’s lid and mark as-needed ones with a ring for clarity. How do you manage your meds? Share your tips! 💊✨ #nsclc #ChronicIllnessLife #PillBoxOrganization #makecancerlessshitty

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. 🤷♂️

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

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

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

Every cancer patient deserves palliative care. #bcsm
American Society of Clinical Oncology guideline update on palliative care for patients with cancer: Addressing the reality gap Commentary on Cancer by ACS
The American Society of Clinical Oncology's recommendations for integrating palliative care into oncology are commendable but face significant practical challenges, including workforce shortages, limited resources, and insufficient financial support for necessary research.
While these guidelines provide an aspirational framework, their full implementation may be unattainable for many programs. Practical strategies for adopting these recommendations at cancer centers are proposed, emphasizing the need for financial and quality incentives to drive the broader integration of palliative care into the healthcare system.

"The year after beating cancer was harder for me than the year of treatment."
Survivorship is tough and needs to be included in efforts to #MakeCancerLessShitty
#SuppOnc #SurvOnc
I say this not to discourage cancer survivors but to equip them.
The year after beating cancer was harder for me than the year of treatment.
It’s a weird phenomenon.
Regardless, God is good.
