A note about my oldest posts: I began blogging about brain cancer in 2008, at age 29. I had no background or knowledge about healthcare when I started. Please excuse typos and other misconceptions. What you read here is me in real time, like a time capsule.
Can you be OK with the unknown when you will have cancer for the rest of your life?
People talk about how tired they are and I want to smack them upside the head and say, "You think you're tired?" But I restrain myself. And I'm cool with that.
“You know how to do this better than me by now”
I e-mailed my neuro-oncologist to remind him to check my lab work and refill Temodar, Emend and Kytril.
That one time I put my blood in my refrigerator so I could participate in research
I am so used to this life it does not freak me out anymore.
