The Princess delivered such a clear & well written statement for the layperson. She displayed unparalleled poise, courage, and compassion under the harshness of the global spotlight.
I feel for her. Unlike Charles (IMO), Catherine never anticipated that she might have been battling cancer symptoms. Hearing the pathology results was devastating. They deserve our compassion.

And yet THIS:
Tumblr media
Knowledge is Power
I already created a post to help the layperson better understand "preventative chemotherapy."
The use of preventative chemotherapy means Catherine's lymphatic system is concerning and warranted aggressive action to ensure that she is cured of this disease.
Sometimes a malignant tumor is removed and the body is cancer free [Sarah York/Guiliani Rancic].
Thankfully Catherine's magins are cancer free as there is no evidence the cancer metastasized.
Despite those cancer free margins, the cancer gained access to the lymph channels (not her lymph nodes), hence she was prescribed a course of a "preventative" form of poison (chemotherapy) to arrest & annihilate the wandering cancer cells in every system of her body. 😥

I had so much fun! It was one of the best nights of my life! I'm so happy I got to go and was able to experience the magic of TommyInnit live! It was the best celebration of being cancer free that I could ask for <3
I was texting Technodad before the show as I freaked out. This man was just as hype as I was even though he didn't understand half the things I was saying after I lost my old man filter.

Today I should be meeting my editor and the beautiful team at Orbit in London! Monday my doctor told me I have bronchitis again. After chemo worked, I thought ‘this is over.’ I didn’t realise my new immunocompromised reality: being caught up then falling behind again (I wanted to do Nano), losing friends, disappointing myself and others. But… I will reschedule my trip. During last year’s worst bout with bronchitis, I would have been overcome with joy to know the book I was hoping and fearing for would have a great home, and I’d have a fabulous editor to meet! I still am overcome with joy. This one is for my chronically ill folks: I hear you, I see you. We‘ve still got a lot of greatness yet to live.

I've waited so very long to post this.
Right before Thanksgiving (last year), a tumor was found behind my right lung. The biopsy came back sarcoma, and I was given the option of surgery and chemo or radiation.
After watching my late wife lanquish through chemo for almost two years, I opted for surgery and follow-up radiation treatments.
After 6 weeks of radiation, I got to ring the bell last Friday and was given this t-shirt (I really didn't feel well enough to take a pic until today).
Thankfully, I'm still here and will continue my sworn duty to keep Bettie's (and others' memories alive).
🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

Help Me Get Treatment For Colon Cancer: Urgent!
hey y’all. tumblr vet here coming to ya with something i’ve never had to do before: fundraise in the name of my health. February 6th I was diagnosed with colon cancer and February the 16th I underwent surgery to remove the tumors. We are still waiting on the test results on whether i’m 100% cancer free. In the meantime i would really really appreciate it if you could donate or like and reblog. Even if you don’t have the funds now sharing the link can be a life changer. Im still on a lease for 4 months, im financing a car and im not currently able to move around or walk without pain which makes a full time job out of the picture. Those of you who know my irl know i don’t ask for much and wouldnt be doing this if it wasn’t super important. So please please share🙏🏿💛

Hello,
My mother was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer this November. I’ve started a gofundme page to pay for her medical expenses. She can’t drive or work because of her illness and my dad is her only financial support. We’ve hit hard times and any amount would be extremely helpful. If you could take a moment to donate or send prayers, I would appreciate it greatly.
If you feel more comfortable using CashApp to send it directly to her.
Fighting to stay strong, ayo-gee-gee.

This is cross posted from Reddit. You can find the original here vvv
If you don’t know me, hey there I'm B.
December of 2022 u/mrtechnodad gave me the challenge of finding something good in every day, no matter how small. Since then I’ve been sharing monthly updates with a few of my good things from that month.
Anyone who's followed my updates has probably noticed that the title is different and I missed part of my usual intro.
That's because today's list only has one thing:
- I'm officially cancer free
After 708 days, countless hours of chemo, and 4 major surgeries, I have beat almost impossible odds.
Along my journey I've lost too many people who were important to me. Each of them gave me a new reason to keep going. My first roommate taught me how to be strong, how to push through the darkness. My second roommate taught me the power of compassion, how to use my voice to help others. A friend taught me how to laugh, how to see the fun in even the worst situations. And Techno, Technoblade taught me how to fight, how to win any war.
It's no secret I've struggled with survivor's guilt for almost as long as I was sick. I've asked the question, "Why them and not me?" so many times it's become a mantra. I've realized it isn’t about me or them. I think it's about finding what my purpose is. Their lives had purpose, they were full of love and joy. For so long I didn't think I had those things, that there wasn't a reason for me to still be here. I still have a purpose here. I think I know it. At least part of it.
I'm here to share my story. I'm here to share the good I see in every day. I'm here to live.
I'm alive to live.
And so are you.
Be alive. Wake up to wake up. Laugh, cry, sing, dance. Feel everything, sadness, joy, grief, shame, love. Watch the sunrise and live to see it set again. Then do it all again. And again.
Be alive to live.
Today I sat on a beach and watched the sunrise with the love of my life. For the first time in almost two years it wasn't tainted by the possibility of being my last. Instead the sun rose on the first day of my future. It's the first one of a lifetime of new days. Sunrises are no longer a symbol of bitter relief. Now they represent the promise of tomorrow.
I am beyond grateful to be alive. Since my diagnosis I was so sure I wouldn't make it. I had so little hope. Now my voice can shift from the cries of a fighter to the laughter of a survivor.
I am a survivor. Those are words I never dreamed of speaking.
Thank you to everyone who followed my journey. Thank you for your love, your support, and your endless compassion. Without this community my story would be very different.
Remember, "no matter how ridiculous the odds may seem, within us resides the power to overcome these challenges and achieve something beautiful. That one day, we'll look back at where we started and be amazed by how far we've come."
Until next time.
Your friend, B

Being chronically ill sucks for many reasons but one reason is that all the doctors are so focused on keeping your body from attacking itself/collapsing in on itself that it’s like “uhh I think my brain/emotions are kinda being neglected here :/“

cancer is scary. you don’t have to be brave all the time. you don’t need to be someone else’s inspiration and you don’t need to be a hero for anyone. you don’t need to be positive all the time or pretend to be strong.
you can have off days and you can feel sick. you can sleep all day and you can struggle. it’s okay to do those things. because it’s so hard to pretend like they don’t happen.
cancer is real and how it affects you matters. the only opinions that matter are yours and your medical teams’. don’t take shit from anyone.

As a Yank I'm indifferent about Royals, but as a cancer survivor I find people rejoicing in Charles' diagnosis to be sick.
Hope you learn what it's like for a doctor to tell you, "You have cancer."
