I hadn't been making water much of a priority and have been feeling really,really bad the last few weeks. Went to the Dr and I have protein and blood in my urine and my creatine was high. Dr wanted to check into it since I only have 1 kidney,but Kidney function was good. I just need water 🤦🤦

Cancer completely hijacks your life. Your mental health, your relationships, your finances, your entire life is upended and nothing,not even yourself feels safe anymore. I wish there was more talk about the "after" of cancer. #cansky #kidneycancer #cancer

Cancer is a financial black hole that robs you of every bit of security, financially and emotionally that you possess. Its an injustice that people have to empty their life savings and live in fear of having the rug pulled out again for such a devastating illness. #cancer #cansky #kidneycancer

I met someone yesterday who had grade 4 kidney cancer like I did. I was disappointed to hear his did come back and it spread,but it gave me hope hes made it this long despite multiple surgeries and having a third of a kidney left. #kidneycancer #cansky #cancer #kidneys

Being between appts is a bit like being in limbo. You live your life from 6 months to 6 months and in 5 years you can say you officially have beaten it unless it comes back after. Idk cancer doesn't ever really feel like its over. You just learn to live despite it. #cancer #kidneycancer #cansky

Also #vanderbilt is amazing. My urology oncologist is so kind, intelligent and literally saved my life. Every interaction I've had has been pretty damn good and they get my test results back so quick that I don't have to wait around anxiously for them. They are well worth the 2hr drive. #cansky

I laid in bed crying all day yesterday and today I start my new job. I think it's time for me to recognize I'm burnt out. The last 13 years has been one thing after another with no breaks and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. Idk how to fix it though. #cancer #cansky #depression #stress

I had a similar experience,repeated er visits for severe hypertension(220s-290s) despite max med dosage and being told it was anxiety or normal for me. My previous cardio did hear tests, told me I was fine and he wasn't worried about me. It turned out to be kidney cancer. #cansky #cancer #kidney
Thank u, Doc

“All it took to be diagnosed and admitted was a medical degree, the confidence 2 insist my condition was serious, the ability 2 pay thousands of dollars 4 the ER visits where my diagnosis was missed, and an intimate knowledge of the hospital’s payment system.
No big deal.”

Facing terminal cancer as a doctor and mother
A physician confronts her own terminal diagnosis while reflecting on the intersection of medical knowledge, personal history, and the emotional toll of facing mortality as both a mother and a doctor.

I struggled with this so much after my diagnosis,cancer ate up my PTO so quickly and it was exhausting going through so much and knowing there was no break at the end.The US is severely lacking in protections for those with severe illness in the workplace and protections in general. #cancer #cansky

Here's something they don't tell you when you get cancer. Good luck getting actual time to recharge if you're continuing to work. You're going to spend most of your PTO going to various dr appts, scans, or treatments, so don't plan on taking a week to travel or sit on a beach. #CanSky #OncSky

I found out I got a job with significantly better pay and a closer commute,but what should have been excitement felt like severe anxiety as I quit the job I'm at where my insurance deductible was met and I had FMLA. Cancer is trauma,it tears into every facet of our lives. #cancer #cansky #anxiety

I get to go see sleep token! Excuse me while I try horribly to contain my excitement. Lol. Before cancer I NEVER would have spent money to go to a concert, I rarely let myself do anything fun.Now though I let myself live a little. Lol #sleeptoken #cansky #cancer #music

Cancer patients especially survivors can be grateful they are alive or in remission while also being upset it happened at all,that they needed treatment,surgeries,and have life altering changes to their bodies and finances. Toxic positivity helps no one. #oncsky #cansky #cancer

You survived cancer.
Now you're expected to just “be okay.”
But the truth is, survivorship comes with anxiety, depression, and emotional whiplash no one prepared you for.
You’re not broken.
Mental health matters especially after the crisis is over.

Drs, please stop telling patients they have a 'good" cancer. My cousin and I were talking about this. While it wasn't said about my kidney,it was said about my thyroid and my cousins lymphoma.Cancer regardless of prognosis is still life altering.None of it is good. #oncsky #cansky #kidneycancer
