A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: The Beginning
I turned 40 earlier this year and decided to go ahead and get a mammogram. The American Cancer Society says women can start annual screening at 40, but should definitely start at 45. Considering my family history, I opted to start just to be sure. Unfortunately, we were quickly sure that I had breast cancer. On the plus side, I was surrounded by all kinds of support.

This is the other side of the coin: after you tell someone you have cancer, their most likely response is “Let me know if there’s anything I can do.” We’re not trained on what to say to bad news, and I can’t say I’ve come up with anything better. The thing is, though, that it puts all of the responsibility back onto the person at the center of the bad news.

On the last day of radiation treatment, one of the techs asked me a very important question: was Duck with me? He’d met Duck on the first day, when I took the photo of the room, so Duck had to be there to ring the bell. Duck Cancer ready to peck the bell. Patients undergoing treatment like chemotherapy or radiation ring the bell on their last day to signify that it’s over.

Art does not get easier the better you get at it.
Making art is hard. Making art is fun. Making art frustrating. Making art is passion. Making art is a lot of blood sweat and tears.
And I love every moment of the process.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
