A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: Let’s Talk it Over

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: Let’s Talk it Over

I didn’t know what my ring tone sounded like until this spring. Most people don’t call me, and I figured that, if anyone did, they’d leave a message and I could call them back later. Once your number starts getting around to various medical professionals, you have to start answering the calls. For one thing, you can’t always just call someone back.

Most people don’t understand what “genre” means or how to use it intentionally, even though they participate in its use all the time.

My goal for this week is to keep writing. I had a major setback last week and it’s really impacted a lot of areas of my life and made me question … everything … so I’m trying to find my way through this.

Sometimes a song just comes along and kneecaps your feelings. Maybe it’s not even a good song, but it’s the one that hits you where it counts in this moment.

Big virtual hugs. If you ever feel the need to just rant and don’t want to worry about offending someone (I have trouble breaking down and maybe coming across as whiny and ungrateful to people who’ve stuck around and supported me through cancer), my DMs are open.

This week was NOT what I wanted. At all. I didn’t write every day but I think I only somehow missed one? And I got the push (kick in the pants?) to start writing my “A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer” blog posts so that’s the glass half full side. We’re ignoring the rest.

Sigh I saw someone announce “I measured and I’m getting gauge!” at the first inch of a sweater and

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: Translating Medicalese

Missed the first post? Read it here. One of the things I learned this year (one of many I’d be fine not knowing, thanks) is that documents can hit your online patient portal hours before your primary care provider sees them. I knew that, if I logged in and saw the results there, I’d have to deal with them on my own without her input and guidance.

It makes me happy that I’m the teacher students came to when they wanted to form a book club. The ones who asked haven’t even had me yet so they approached a stranger with their ideas and now it’s a weekly thing where they come and read and talk about their books.

Mine was mostly over summer break so the new students don’t know I was out at the end of last school year.

Three ... I think, maybe four? of my friends also had to have MRIs. Mine was just obvious enough on the ultrasound, I guess.

Today I ran into a friendly and talkative acquaintance I hadn’t seen since before my cancer diagnosis and uh. It never gets less exhausting to tell someone, does it?

My novel’s a contemporary thriller. I also kind of accidentally started a memoir/nonfiction help guide that I’d been thinking about for a while and I guess it decided it was time. 😆 At least that one’s not my other usual genre of true crime?
