Hi! Yep currently in chemo and on gabapentin. I'll give those a shot, thanks so much!! #cansky
That said if any of you Cancer Caretakers want to commiserate I am here. I know what you go through. Mentally it's hard to give yourself grace when your loved one is fighting for their very life. It feels selfish but I assure you it's not. #cansky #oncsky
Being the caretaker in the Cancer fight isn't hard for me. What my wife goes through is hard. For me it's, frustrating, terrifying w/ a dose of being powerless. Everytime I collapse & just weep for 10 mins I have to scream to get the F**k up & carry on. But she is so strong it shames me #cansky
This nerve pain is some bullshit. I have my foot resting on a pillow and the pain is intense. I don't know how I am going to go out later #cansky
Help a #Cancer patient. View this listing on Amazon. Amazon is suppressing it. You don't need to buy anything. It needs page views to escape algorithm jail. Thank you! www.amazon.com/Victor-Sierr... #nwsl #mls #usl #oncsky #cansky
Being a young adult cancer survivor sucks, and sometimes it’s okay fo say that. It’s okay to acknowledge you’re thankful to be here but realize survivorship is hard. #Cansky

I wish for ONE day I could pass the scanxiety along to people, so they could truly see what it feels like.
Living day to day, week to week, month to month. #Cansky
Just stopping by to say I’m proud to be on the Board of Directors for The Judy Nicholson Kidney Cancer Foundation 🧡. #Cansky
🚨 Webinar Reminders!
On Monday, March 16, the American Cancer Society Extramural Discovery Science team will host two informational webinars about our current grant funding opportunities for interested potential applicants:
🧪 #CanSky #OncoSky #ResearchGrants #CancerResearch
All #pediatric #cancers are #rarecancers and there are MANY of them, per @seattlechildrens.org pathologist Dr. Christopher Sande, who focuses on soft tissue #sarcomas. And MANY of these cancers have subtypes. #rarecancersymposium @fredhutch.org #CanSky
Learning abt #rarecancers at @fredhutch.org's Rare Cancer Patient Symp, sponsored by #TRACER, #Seattle Translational Tumor Research program, rarecancerprogram.com
"If we work in silos, the progress will be too slow. Collaboration has 2B the foundation of our effort." ❤️

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re proud to team up with our partners at FORCE, Fight Colorectal Cancer and GI Alliance, to shine a light on the importance of knowing your risk, getting screened and empowering families with life saving information. 💙 #CanSky
Forget about Friday the 13th because today is your lucky day - that's because it's #ACSFriday5 Day!
Here are five new papers from ACS researchers that we think are worth checking out this week:

I don’t mind the blood draws, but scheduling labs, scans and doctor visits for three separate days seems rude. #oncosky #cansky #MBC
Hey #Cansky it’s been a tiresome 24 hours.
The good: My Dr. last week told me to him my 6 month scans looked good to him and also his resident. Scheduled my next 6 month scans.
Yesterday got my official results in. The good: no evidence of metastatic disease. The “weird” news though….
Machine learning can search for patterns in large genetic datasets to identify cancer, but its methods are difficult for clinicians to discern. Researchers recently used statistics to clarify how these models make breast cancer predictions.

New #art project to distract and alleviate boredom. Involves felting, inspired by an 80s craft book.
Hopefully the outcome would not need to be kept in that decade 😆
I’ll keep you updated on progress (crafting, not #cancer that is)

Overwhelm trick: ask “What is the smallest thing that would make today 10% easier?” Not 100%. Just 10%. A shower chair, a nap, a meal shortcut, asking someone to pick up groceries, moving one appointment, saying no. Symptom care is practical, not heroic. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
Neuropathy coping basics (general): protect hands/feet from extreme temps, consider gentle range-of-motion, and note what worsens symptoms (tight shoes, long standing, low sleep). Track intensity and timing. New or worsening symptoms warrant a call to a clinician. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
Track intensity and timing. New or worsening numbness, burning, or weakness deserves a clinician call, especially if it changes quickly. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
