Jeri Dansky<p>The elderly couple who lived next door to me died some time ago, and their daughters now own the house. I just found out that one of those daughters, the one I knew the best, was recently diagnosed with metastatic cancer — and then had a stroke a couple weeks later.</p><p>I'll be keeping Fatima in my thoughts and hoping for the best, but this sounds pretty dire. </p><p>I'm really getting tired of beloved neighbors getting seriously ill or dying.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/FuckCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckCancer</span></a></p>

BoneHouseWasps🔶🇬🇧🇪🇺<p>Mastodon friends, I am having a *week*.</p><p>Good news - I have a 2nd round interview for a job I really want. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JobHuntPokerChip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JobHuntPokerChip</span></a> </p><p>Bad news - I have (very treatable) cancer. I have to have two operations - which sound pretty horrendous but I'll be asleep, at least. They will hopefully be done at the same time. And that *should* be it.

Mixed emotions this week.</p>
Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:<p>Today the doc said this guy is still cancer free.

I miss you Pops!

It was four years ago that I lost you. Every day since has been tough in various ways, but because of you, I keep pushing through because I don't want to let you down.

I miss you more than I ever could have imagined. I miss your smile, I miss your laugh, I miss our conversations, I miss hanging out, I miss helping you with your computer, I miss seeing you drink your Miller Lite, I miss your hugs and your warm embraces!

Thank you for being the best father a son could ever have dreamed about having. Thank you for teaching me everything you taught me. It's because of you that I'm where I'm at today and that @bianca and myself have the life that we have. While I know you'd say I put in the hard work to accomplish it all, you taught me what to do and how to do it and I'll forever be grateful.

I hope that wherever you're at, whatever you're doing, you're having fun and enjoying it to the fullest. One day we'll be together again, but until then, I miss you and I love you Pops!

BE KIND IN THIS HEAT

i have been thisclose to an #autistic meltdown because the A/C in my apartment is broken and i have had problems sleeping at night.

also, as many of y’all know, it has not been a year since my last #cancer treatment. my body is still coping with the after-effects of chemo, immunotherapy and radiation. my nuclear boob is still breaking out in a rash if it’s too hot or too sunny.

so just a reminder: the heat exacerbates many conditions.

be mindful. be kind. #fuckCancer

My sister-in-law who has been a friend for over 20 years has been battling #Leukemia for 5 years, and is now halfway across the country receiving #stemcell treatments.

The treatments themselves are covered by our national healthcare system and my brother's insurance, however, travel, lost wages, child care and other expenses are NOT covered and must come out of pocket.

If you can, please consider contributing to their #gofundme:

Great news yesterday from my sister's oncologist. She continues to amaze. #fuckcancer

I was able to buy the compressor, expansion valve and drier to fix the A/C in my old Beemer today. Saved over a hundred bucks buying all the same shit on eBay instead of my usual drug dealer.

Really enjoying getting to know all you intelligent, clever, empathetic humans here in the #Fediverse

Biden won’t benefit from his own Cancer Moonshot:

$150M+ for cutting-edge cancer research
mRNA vaccine trials
tumor-removal tech

ARPA-H is pushing personalized treatments built on COVID-era breakthroughs. The goal? Cut cancer deaths by 50% in 25 years

That’s good governance. That’s Biden's legacy

**Sensitive story**

Last year, early April, I get a call from my dear friend Luke. He says he’s confused. Had a work mtg in front of 75 people. All the sudden couldn’t gather his thoughts, couldn’t speak. Had to leave abruptly. Super embarrassed and concerned, he says to me I think I had a panic attack. We talk about it. Talk to my wife. Few days go by and he gets to the Dr. has an MRI done.
BOOM! His world is rocked! Tells me that he has a large stage 4 aggressive #braincancer #glioblastoma tumor in his head about! 3 days later he has a surgical resection.
That was 13 months ago, 2 resections, 2 chemo and radiation stints, countless drugs, seizures, debilitations, along the way. Until this last Monday. Luke had passed away, RIP. He isn’t suffering anymore, thankfully. He was a fighter thru and thru. 48yrs young. #fuckcancer you took my dear friend!!!
