Thank you for articulating the mind fuck that is trying to “LIVE!!!” with cancer so well. I have tnbc too. I’m so glad your scan showed nothing to worry about but I can imagine the stress and suffering you went through!! Fuck cancer for real

I really hate cancer, for real ugh. That living part is wild for sure. All advice welcome from triple neggy babes :)

I’m a bit behind you in treatment, still have radiation and some sort of more chemo to go after not getting PCR so I fear my advice is still percolating 😵‍💫 but you’re not alone, I identify a lot with your writing of the despair and fear and wanting to live so bad !!!

I at least want to live long enough to get a perfect set of tits free of charge! I hope everything is going well with your treatment. I’m about to start occupational therapy to regain mobility in my arm after radiation.

I stupidly started making breakfast while listening to the audio version of this piece, and started crying into my eggs. THANKS. And thank you. Phenomenally written as always. Love you, sis.

There's an audio version??? Damn I hope it's like a muppet voice or something fun. Also, love you back, homie <3

Ugh, that fucking anxiety. I'm sorry, bb. My dad is coming back from Mexico for a scan in a few weeks and I'm feeling that dread. Thanks for putting it into words. Te quiero un chingo.

Ay no, anytime my mom has a scan I'm freaking out. I hope everything turns out good for mi compadre. Ya sabes cuanto lo quiero. Y tambien a ti, cabrón :cries:

It really felt like more than a coincidence. I needed to be talked off a ledge so bad and there she was with her iphone telling me what I needed to hear. It's so scary!
