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:

Heading out to drop off a stool sample for the colon cancer screening.

Maximum relaximum.

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

Fuck Cancer

Und hier noch mal was zu Anni und Annis-Fahrradladen. Die ein oder andere zufriedene Kundin, der ein oder andere zufriedene Kunde hat ja vielleicht etwas übrig um Anni den schweren Weg jetzt ein winziges bisschen leichter zu machen.

It is official. The Government want me to give them shit.

I will be happy to oblige!

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!!!

Akku alle.
Freundin fragt, ob ich nicht ne Auszeit nehmen kann. Meine Antwort: "Auch die kostet Energie. Ich kann gerade nur aushalten."

My sister forgot to tell me about her husband doing a sponsored walk for a cancer charity I really care about, so he's already done it.

But I've retrospectively sponsored him, and I'd be very grateful if you could spare even a couple of quid. Without the Royal Marsden my sister would already be dead. They do amazing work and need all the help they can get – as do their patients.

UPDATE & PS:

and as a #cancer survivor, fuck Kennedy, fuck Trump, fuck #eugenics, fuck #fascism and #fuckCancer

Spent the afternoon with a dear friend of mine who has stage 4 cancer, and is luckily still asymptomatic. This might not last.
I'm going to stare at the sky for a while and drink a few beers.
