Looking back at these pics, I marvel at how that joyful, zany woman survived #breastcancer and career changes while advocating for herself and others. Life has tested me in unimaginable ways, yet somehow, that wonderfully quirky part of me is still here!

Diarrhea is a common side effect of several breast cancer treatments, including chemotherapy — but temporary changes in your diet can help. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4dFfeqI

Nightfall

evening clouds with shadowed faces
and ragged cloaks of blue-grey steel
cluster like starlings
hunch over the hill
bring night to the emptying sky

This year every month my wife has been creating and performing a poem on a pole. They are all beautiful and together tell a story. Watch them and enjoy them. This month her poem is a poem against a pole. It is exquisite. Do share it. #poem #pole #chemo matildaleyser.substack.com/p/poisoned?r...

It is decided: #chemo will restart in 9 days (October 5th). To lean into the pat boxing analogy, I knew my opponent was down but not out; they got up again, but I've got more punchin' left in me.

“Excellent, comfortable, discreet and cool. Perfect.” — Edward K. 💙

We’ll happily take that review. 😎

Our popular Chemo Port Access Tee is designed for easier chest access while keeping the look of an everyday favorite.

Comfort + access + looking good? Yes, please.

Dr. Sherry Shen argues that #chemo is effective in patients w/#mILC in the right time, right setting. "Chemo is not something we should use up front 4 most of our patients ..." Use chemo after endocrine therapy resistance & when fast response is critical in pts 2 prevent complicatns. #ILCSymposium

Gr8 debate at the #ILCSymposium as 2 whethr #chemo is helpful or not in #metastatic CLASSICAL #lobular #breastcancer. Dr. Rebecca Shatsky argues chemo failed 3 tests in #mILC: it's not superior, not durable, not biologically matched. Chemo shld be exception, not default. @lobularbca.bsky.social

Well, after some further consultations with my docs, it's looking like starting back on #chemo is the best next step. I'm a little bummed that my break didn't last longer, but resolved to do this again. I've done 22 sessions already. I can do more.

Jaxon and I get to read at the new Clovis Crossings B&N! We will be sharing

this inner darkness,
hollow, silent,
where once clustered
the potential for life.
