  2. What a Mindf*** This Is

    It's an absolute mindfuck to have cancer and be walking around doing normal things such as work, shop, cook, clean, and looking absolutely healthy. Don't get me wrong, I do not want to look or...

  3. Should I Let Things Come to a Close?

  7. The amazing NP who caught my breast cancer super early just died. I went to my follow up and found out she died of a heart attack a few months ago. At 58. I started crying while I was on the gynecologist table.

    I had not been to the gynecologist in a long time because I was getting my birth control online during Covid. Last year, exactly one year ago actually, to the day, I went to a new gynecologist and...

  10. So do we keep on living “normally”?

    It feels surreal to have cancer, did the partial mastectomy end of October for my right breast. Turned out the one on the left had cancer too since they did an excision. Currently doing radiation....
