But I'm in good spirits about things!
One Cycle has been completed already, and my tumour markers are decreasing!! 🎉
While it has been very draining on me, I have support and will be properly cared for during treatment

I'm going to be okay ♥️

While I'm not afraid of the Cancer, Chemo will be very hard on me and leave me drained most days,

so I felt it important to let you all know, if I know you and seem to be absent or unavailable,
I'm not ignoring or dodging you, its just... yeah
Things will be hard.

To ease your concerns:
The cancer I have is VERY SURVIVABLE and treated as CURABLE.
I.e. once its fully eliminated, it no longer comes back.

Since I already had the tumour removed,
all that's left is to clear up the spread with chemo, and then I'm good!

May I suggest the queer erotica novel series Nexus Alpha by @ela-bambust.bsky.social . It’s a healthy dose of Giant Fighting Robots except it’s “Oops, All Lesbians,” and it’s a criticism of the military industrial complex.

No spoilers, but the pilots have a… unique relationship to their machines.
