Holiday Cancer

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/12/29

** For the Friend: 1) Give the gift of no expectations: DO NOT EXPECT A RESPONSE and don’t let the cancerpath bear the emotional weight of the holidays. 2) Invite, even if you think they will say no. 3) Experiences mean more than stuff. 4) Acknowledge the situation. 5) Communicate.6) Keep things normal. ** For the Cancerpath: 1) Don’t bear any emotional weight. 2) Be present. 3) Be honest about what you need. 4) Don’t forecast: don’t expect anything from yourself. 5) Recovery takes longer than you

Cancer Awareness

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/12/03

** Don’t tell me your a boob man if you don’t know what breast cancer feels like ** Other people can see cancer from different perspectives--herd knowledge ** Corporations co-opt the cancer thing and go off road with it in a way that doesn’t make sense ** Instead of cancer “awareness”, give patients a cancer card for discounts and privileges ** We have to be there for each other--PEOPLE take care of other people so keep your IRL relationships ** Don’t ask for money from cancer patients ** Donate to

Cancer + Anniversary = Cancerversary

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/09/02

** Diagnosis is a pretty arbitrary date: it’s way after you STARTED being sick, and way before you are DONE being sick-- it’s a celebration of discovering what’s wrong with us? ** Mourn your 1.0 self and life -- ceremony or a formal remembrance/farewell can be useful. ** Maybe your celebration is forgetting about it. ** Some people don’t feel safe enough to celebrate -- the chance of recurrence. ** Cancerversaries can be a reminder of how your options have become limited. ** Schedule exams on your

Self Care During Cancer Treatment

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/04/19

** Yoga, stretching, or biking ** Gardening ** Do some art: painting, writing, etc ** Eat extra well and mindfully ** Find your witchy brew: B complex, magnesium, turmeric, activated charcoal, etc ** Massage, manicure and pedicure (don’t let them cut your cuticles) ** Get some strengthening nail polish (Leanna’s mom liked the Hard As Nails stuff) ** Sleep is a big deal--try restricting your sleep hours and only getting in bed when you are ready to fall asleep ** Look into a digital detox, including

Existential Angst

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/04/11

** Cancer doesn’t just require you to change once—it’s constant adaptation. ** Check if any of your survival strategies have turned against you. ** Try to sit with the idea that existence is enough, and if that fails, we are pretty sure going to Spain is the answer.

Plastic Surgery After Breast Cancer

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/04/05

** Try to clarify surgical options early on: what’s the best possible, what’s the worst possible, what’s the probable middle? Manage your expectations as much as you can. ** Know your options. For mastectomy, that’s flat, implants, flap (tram or diep), nipple reconstruction, etc. ** Fat grafting covers a multitude of divots and creases. ** Know your risks and what you value (looks, function, scars). ** What’s your backup fat plan? (ie know what your surgery entails). ** Nipple tattoos: not like a

Informed Consent

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/03/29

** Leanna doesn't’ know when women got the vote: she thought it was 1912, but it was 1920. Less than 100 years ago. Bananas! ** Informed consent can feel like a rubber stamp: “this is what I have to do to get the treatment I need.” ** Doctors have to tell you common and serious risks, but they do not get granular. ** If you are interested in detailed information, you have to ask. ** Ask ‘What happens if I don’t get treatment?” ** Ask “How long do I have to decide?” ** Part of informed consent is

Testicular Cancer with A Ballsy Sense of Tumor

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/03/21

** Testicular cancer is almost always curable… IF you find it early and get treatment. ** Everyone should know how to do a testicular self exam, whether for yourself or for a partner. ** Talk about your health, men! (Especially young men who are more likely to get testicular cancer!!) ** Share your story, for yourself and for the next generation of patients.

Cancer's Weird

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/03/14

** Cancer is weird and it makes you weird--you’ll do weird things ** Cancer pushes you out to the ends of the bell curve--out to the extremes ** You are liberated to embrace your weird--no shame in the game ** Cancer treatment is weird--chemo drugs, radiation ** Find your fringe folk ** You can weaponize your weird if that’s your thing ** Other people will project their weirdness onto you ** There’s no hiding it and you have to look at your weird ** Realize that everyone is fucking weird--cancer

Moving on from Cancer

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/03/01

** There is no timeline or flowchart for how to “move on” ** It’s definitely time to move on when there is no other choice ** You always have to think about cancer logistics (insurance, cancer treatment centers, etc) ** It’s common to wonder what you could or should do--you can feel stuck ** You get to choose to disclose or not--tell people if it’s comfortable and if it comes up ** Show people your cancer--put it out there to someone ** Leave while you are still having fun at the partys

What Cancer Taught Me

** You get to know your unique body. Mimi has a crazy heart —which we all could have guessed by listening to her. (HAHAHAHHA!) ** Bask in and enjoy all the love and caring from people who want to help you. ** We should eat what our body needs instead of the calories provided by the traditional American diet. ** Wants vs. needs can become very clear. #cancerclarity ** The human body is fucking amazing HEALING ITSELF and MOVING AROUND. <3<3<3 ** Exercise as if you will get cancer. ** You can

Cancer Guilt

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2019/02/15

** There is no escaping the guilt and shame—deal with it now or later ** You will have survivor’s guilt, or guilt about how much people have sacrificed to help you ** You will have shame about your scars and imperfections—disease can feel shameful ** Cancer allows you to speak your truth—use that to burn off the guilt and shame ** Guilt can turn into a spiral, so watch out for feeling guilty about feeling guilty ** Recognize your own guilt, and recognize when you are getting guilt from other people

Careers and Cancer

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2018/12/30

The diagnosis process is generally awful at work ** You don’t have to be open about cancer--if you are open, you can help the next generation of patients ** Tell fewer rather than more--you can ALWAYS tell more people, and you can’t tell FEWER people ** Working will (likely) be your main issue if you work through cancer treatment ** If you can ramp down your job to 20 hours a week, do that ** Be gentle with yourself ** Everyone should have disability insurance ** Disability doesn’t pay out at

No Shoulds in Cancer

Thanks, Cancer! ·

2018/12/23

We want to label “shoulds” to put people into boxes ** The “shoulds” come from fear ** You can figure out your own “shoulds”--and change your mind about it ** Explore the “coulds” ** Eliminate “should” from your vocabulary as much as you can ** Know where your own “shoulds” come from
