Oral Mucositis (cancer mouth sores) is a side effect of cancer treatment that affects 40-75% of people receiving chemotherapy, 75-100% of those undergoing transplants, and almost 100% of people going through radiation treatment for head and neck cancers

Chemo round 164 There are so many strong emotions going through me right now and a lot of things are happening in the world today it's overwhelming at times especially on top of having cancer. What shouldn't be happening is Cancer research and funding getting cut at all

Managing 13 pills daily, plus as-needed meds, can be overwhelming. I number each bottleโs lid and mark as-needed ones with a ring for clarity. How do you manage your meds? Share your tips! ๐โจ #nsclc #ChronicIllnessLife #PillBoxOrganization #makecancerlessshitty

There were times I wished for diarrhea due to the severity of the constipation I had -- crazy wish.
Hoping things are as well as possible for you...
Yep, I am surprised the makers of chemo-meds have not re-marketed them as anti-obesity meds like Ozempic. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Stress an anxiety
Medical, money, bills, life, just everything weighs a lot and when feeling bad seems to weigh even more

As we enter the holiday season this year so many memories come back over the last 9 holiday seasons since I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Cance changes everything and not just for the patient but the caregivers the support around you friends family and more.

Every cancer patient deserves palliative care. #bcsm

American Society of Clinical Oncology guideline update on palliative care for patients with cancer: Addressing the reality gap Commentary on Cancer by ACS
The American Society of Clinical Oncology's recommendations for integrating palliative care into oncology are commendable but face significant practical challenges, including workforce shortages, limited resources, and insufficient financial support for necessary research.
While these guidelines provide an aspirational framework, their full implementation may be unattainable for many programs. Practical strategies for adopting these recommendations at cancer centers are proposed, emphasizing the need for financial and quality incentives to drive the broader integration of palliative care into the healthcare system.

"The year after beating cancer was harder for me than the year of treatment."
Survivorship is tough and needs to be included in efforts to #MakeCancerLessShitty
#SuppOnc #SurvOnc

I say this not to discourage cancer survivors but to equip them.
The year after beating cancer was harder for me than the year of treatment.
Itโs a weird phenomenon.
Regardless, God is good.

Little things that make the cancer experience better:
๐ Those free soft hats donated to the cancer center
๐ Dozens of survivors whose names Iโll never remember who answered all my questions
๐ Friendly front desk people
