How are those of you (like me) who are on estrogen blockers for breast cancer recurrence prevention managing weight/fat gain? Such an uphill battle for a shorty like me. #CanSky #CancerSky #CancerBlueSky #IDC #BreastCancer #ThanksCancer

There are many in some stage of a cancer fight and tomorrow I will join them

I have thyroid cancer and they are removing my thyroid in the morning. Then I will do radiation treatments

I could use a little prayer or some healing energy ✨ 🥰

As a breast cancer survivor (who always fears a recurrence), I say anyone who gets in the way of medical research is a murderer.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.

My name is Katie. I’m a stage 4 cancer patient. I believe in kindness, respect, and loving thy neighbor. I am saddened by the state of the world and look to make respectful, supportive and caring connections out here. If that sounds like something you want, let’s connect.

CANCER UPDATE
just wanted to let everyone who has left Twitter that I'm home from the hospital. Currently dealing with a myriad of infections. They halted my chemo and an upcoming surgery for a few days. Haven't spent a lot of time over here, yet

Hi #cansky I am getting my latest test results from my oncologist on Tuesday (CT scan and blood tests). I have every reason to be optimistic that I remain in remission. Still, being an incurable, the anxiety spikes before there appointments.

Sending love to anyone else in the grip of #scanxiety.

I am instituting three hashtags of my own (although anyone is welcome to use!).

TUMORCHIVES: Tumor Archives where I put screenshots of other sites with useful/funny cancer information— will also serve as a discussion starting place for us!

TCFAQ is the ThanksCancer FAQ posts.

TCFAQ are usually quoteskys with the text of the original post or keywords for searchability.

I quote posts with lots of responses. The TCFAQ will allow newbies to search “TCFAQ + Keyword” and get a few threads with good discussion.

Dear cancer muggles,

Why must you tell me about everyone you’ve ever known who has died of cancer? How could that possibly make me feel better?

Benignly,
ThanksCancer

Chemo #46 today. I am not strong or inspirational. Quite the contrary. Some days I cry like a baby, wondering how this is my life. But I’m literally doing anything to stay alive. 😜
