Finding out that it was stage 3 was wild. 30 doses of radiation and chemo. The pain from Radiation was a hell I could never have thought possible. But I am officially cancer free. Just have to monitor for the next while.12 Mar 2025 13:25 +0000at://did:plc:smecb6trszkfvaqd7leaahog/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk6olxdtdk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/amcil.bsky.social/post/3kjn7oxow3h2uCan't sleep so, quick update. Oncologist appointment was supposed to be Thursday THIS week, but it was moved a week earlier. It's not only in the original location, it's in my left groin lymph nodes (which was expected) AND (AND!!) 2 more places. Four! ....What is happening? This is fucked.23 Jan 2024 09:17 +0000at://did:plc:smecb6trszkfvaqd7leaahog/app.bsky.feed.post/3kjn7oxow3h2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/amcil.bsky.social/post/3ka44flk6lq2iWell, it's been a week since I have found out that I could have cancer. The growth removed was 100% confirmed as such and they are only 95% to have removed it all. First oncologist appt is this coming Friday. I will never forget that morning.24 Sep 2023 01:16 +0000at://did:plc:smecb6trszkfvaqd7leaahog/app.bsky.feed.post/3ka44flk6lq2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/amcil.bsky.social/post/3k4zumsredk2gSurgery was a success. The worst part was having to take off the bandage this morning. RIP to all the hair I ripped out in the process.15 Aug 2023 23:36 +0000at://did:plc:smecb6trszkfvaqd7leaahog/app.bsky.feed.post/3k4zumsredk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/amcil.bsky.social/post/3k3mdofz6jk2sThe countdown to this biopsy is on. So much paperwork and playing phone tag with the pre-surgery dept at the hospital and telling work I have to take 2 weeks instead of just 1 week.. 17ish days to go!28 Jul 2023 21:03 +0000at://did:plc:smecb6trszkfvaqd7leaahog/app.bsky.feed.post/3k3mdofz6jk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/amcil.bsky.social/post/3k3jgnxxpyi2iAppointment with my Doctor this afternoon. Lots to cover pre-biopsy.
