When people ask if I will quit using dark humor to cope with my cancer diagnosis. #Cansky

A big lesson from my cancer diagnosis.

If you start feeling people are taking advantage of your time, just disregard those folks. Keep moving. It’s not worth your time. Live your life, and stop being on others people’s time.

Hard lesson I have learned. #Cansky

Cancer sucks, don’t allow someone’s toxic positivity make you feel “bad” for feeling down.

Cancer is unfair. It’s okay to feel down. It’s also okay to realize your feelings go in ebbs and flows. #Cansky

Patient advocates are generally underutilized in research and definitely under compensated - this will be a topic of discussion and exploration in our next general meeting on September 11th 10amPT/1pmET - invites should be in your inboxes!

Trust is one of the most important things for cancer patients to establish in treatment. I have an awesome oncologist and support team, but I know that's not universal.

If you don't trust your oncologist fully, where do you go for supplemental advice?

5-year kidney cancer scans today. Fingers and toes crossed we’re still NED.

Wearing Kill Crew because the anxiety is real.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
