Yes, we do feel awful, stressed, scared, anxious. Yes we might pretend we are okay, but we're not.

Sending you some love, Cheryl. "Well-tolerated" as defined by the research & clinical community, does NOT mean that it is either managable or tolerable in our day to day lives.

Whether you're a Coach Prime fan or not, super hard not to be a fan of the human in this moment. Cancer sucks & those who openly share their realities not only break down social stigma but also help others feel less alone 💗

Deion Sanders jokes he “depends on Depends” and “if you see a Port-a-Potty on the sideline, it’s real.”
He also encourages everyone who is dealing with urinary struggles, and says “let’s stop being ashamed of it”

Oral mucositis - Inflammation of the mouth & throat caused by a variety of cancer treatments (thanks, lenvatinib). It hurts to eat almost everything.

June is packed—3 bestie bdays (2 turning 40!), my husband’s bday, PrideFest, the parade 🌈✨
But chemo doesn’t care what’s on the calendar.
So I’m pacing myself. Squeezing joy from the good days. Grace on the hard ones. 💛

After treatment ends:
✅ The fear can linger
✅ The exhaustion can return
✅ The “new normal” feels confusing
✅ The world assumes you’re fine
Survivorship isn’t simple.
We need more honest space for what comes after remission.

Side effects and long-term effects of cancer treatment have long been minimized for those surviving cancer! The phrase "manageable & tolerable" is misleading. Just because a side effect doesn't land us in the hospital doesn't mean it's tolerable.

The ideal poo is a 'type 3' or 'type 4' – cracked or smooth sausage – delivered once per day.
