What a difference a year and a bit makes.
Finding out that it was stage 3 was wild.
30 doses of radiation and chemo.
The pain from Radiation was a hell I could never have thought possible.
But I am officially cancer free. Just have to monitor for the next while.

Can't sleep so, quick update.
Oncologist appointment was supposed to be Thursday THIS week, but it was moved a week earlier. It's not only in the original location, it's in my left groin lymph nodes (which was expected) AND (AND!!) 2 more places. Four!
....What is happening? This is fucked.

Well, it's been a week since I have found out that I could have cancer. The growth removed was 100% confirmed as such and they are only 95% to have removed it all. First oncologist appt is this coming Friday.
I will never forget that morning.

Surgery was a success. The worst part was having to take off the bandage this morning. RIP to all the hair I ripped out in the process.

The countdown to this biopsy is on. So much paperwork and playing phone tag with the pre-surgery dept at the hospital and telling work I have to take 2 weeks instead of just 1 week.. 17ish days to go!

Appointment with my Doctor this afternoon. Lots to cover pre-biopsy. And the mountain of paper work re: my job and surgery prep is beyond what I expected.

The slow death of Twitter has been hard for me. It has been a constant in my life for 14 years and I am still in denial that's it's dead.

So... This week can fuck off. Today I have my 2nd injection for the new medication I am on, and found out I need to have a biopsy... then found out the date for the biopsy surgery and my cunt of sister decided to pick ww4 with me last night. To say I am stressed out...

Probably not a popular opinion. But. When everyone is all "it's Seven of Nine day"... When you say 7th of 9, it means the seventh day of September. My birthday is April 14. I don't say it's the 4th of 14. It's 14th of the 4th. Americans, this is why the m/d/yr format does not work.
