Cancerversary. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Never expected to last this long, and don’t expect to last much longer. But I’ve tried hard to have some adventures and enjoy the extra time I had. Grateful to my med team for making that possible. Still hanging on. #cansky
If you were loud about Charlie Kirk but quiet about ICE murdering a woman in cold blood, you're one of the bad guys.
Another one from much warmer times, recording 'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow' in North Carolina. A welcome reminder that spring will always come again.
I hope you’re staying bundled up out there and enjoying time with loved ones.

This is one of our favorites!
I feel inspired.
Has he renamed it Trumpmas yet?
If you’ve never seen Charles Kuralt’s 1964 special “Christmas in Appalachia” about desperately poor families in Kentucky, here’s a link for you:

Burk Uzzle is one of North Carolina’s all-star photographers — not just his work from Woodstock but a wealth of images from the American South. So good at establishing a sense of place.
I feel sad for the cat, just sitting there waiting patiently — don’t they make advent calendars for cats?
People don't see all the meds you take, all the prep you need, the flares that leave you stuck in bed. They don't see the canceled plans, the mental gymnastics just to leave the house, or the small victories that that feel huge...like showering without collapsing. They don't see the hidden heating pads, the careful rationing of energy, or the texts) you don't reply to because moving your fingers is a battle. MyBodylsTryingTokillMe.com
Some Dire Straits for my #cansky #direstraits. Replacing chemo playlist with parp inhibitor playlist. Nashville version of Mark Knopfler’s “Water of Love.” youtu.be/Ry0AkPIvLVU?...
Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…
So did Neville Longbottom!
Today, veterans, public servants, and other patriots who love America will gather to show their love for democracy.

Sorry to hear this. Peebs had a good and well-loved life.
Today’s chemo playlist includes the best cover of “Wichita Lineman” I’ve ever heard, courtesy of REM. #cansky

Wishing you strength, comfort and clarity as you begin this journey. Please DM if you have questions I might be able to answer #stage4ovarian
Tonight we want to go out expressing our immense gratitude to our scientific, government, and broader public health community.
America’s scientific institutions are pillars of American greatness. As long as we stand strong, they can’t destroy the promise of America.

Wow! That gives hope to the rest of us!
In addition to avoiding carbs, I was also told to avoid exercise or any other exertion for 24 hours prior to PET, presumably for the same metabolism reasons. Did you have that restriction too?
Swimming. Outdoor pool filled with “Marco! Polo!” kids. Good for my mental health.
Gorgeous! I love when photos look like paintings.
The fact that her dad is James Comey has nothing to do with it.
I don’t understand the purpose of the foghorn noises. They can figure out the science of MRIs but they can’t figure out how to eliminate the sounds?
This is my reply too, although I’m #stage4 and progressing. Since I’m bald and using a cane, clearly things aren’t great. And I have cancer swings like some folks have mood swings, so “how I’m doing” varies greatly day to day. Today might be a bathroom day. (TMI?)
