This is my usual reminder to everyone that cancer doesn’t look the same. Some gain weight due to steroids needed to save us, keep hair (not all chemo causes hair loss), or may appear healthy on the outside. Respect each other please 😊 @ThanksCancer

👋 Another medical adventure has started for me. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 😭The chronic hives, extreme body paint, and fatigue are all related. Now the healing can begin but I’m so mad and sad for another thing to fight #rheumatoidarthritus

Ive officially finished my 2nd year of my PhD 🥳 It’s been hard AF. I’ve even gotten disability accommodations at school due to cancer brain fog. AND I was inducted into an honors society 🌻Now for some R&R 💙 #cancer #BreastCancer @ThanksCancer

Hey everyone. I'm still out here, alive and living life. Things have been hectic and I've been busy with medical and school stuff. BUT still cancer free :-) Next scan the end of May. Hope you're all doing well too :-)

I was also in the hospital this week for an allergic reaction with throat swelling. The IV Benadryl was a perk but otherwise 0/10 recommend 👎

As we near the 1 year anniversary of Jason’s passing I can’t help but feel an immense sadness still. He will forever be in my thoughts as someone who positively changed our world 💙 @ThanksCancer
Hi everyone. It’s Shannon-Jason’s spouse aka Mrs. Canuck. I wanted to share the news of his passing here as it was such a major part of his journey.
Jason passed away Friday, April 5th peacefully with his Dad and I by his side.
Jason was an amazing human and I feel so grateful to have had him as my partner for 8 years. He has impacted so many people which is evident with all of these mentions and messages.
He gave us all a masterclass in grit, compassion, empathy, grace and humour right to the end.
He will be missed and never forgotten by all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
FUCK CANCER
Love,
Shannon

✨3 year cancerversary ✨ 3 years ago the words “cancer” blasted into my life. An allergic reaction to chemo killed me but I came back. Mental health has tried to take me out but I fought back. I’ve found strength I never knew before. And I’m proud of that 💙🌻 #breastcancer

✨Happy holidays✨ This is a tough time of year for me, 12/29 marks 3 years since I was diagnosed with cancer. And 12 years since my grandma’s Xmas Eve funeral. But I’m celebrating the life I have now. Peace and love to you all 💙

After a half day of scans I’m happy to say in UNREMARKABLE 🥳 So happy I self advocated for a second opinion at Mayo because I finally have answers. Now I can make my own decisions. And better pain care. This is a person who’s proud of herself 💙

Hey there online world. I’m still here. Currently at the Mayo Clinic getting a second opinion on my survivorship care. Fingers crossed for good clean scans tomorrow so I can rest easy for another 6 months 🤞

👋 Hey! I’m still here . . . Just not on social media much. I did a thing for myself and am headed to the Mayo Clinic next month for a second opinion on my survivorship care. I hope you all are hanging in there 😊 #cancer #breastcancer

Let's make this a thing:
This doctor's appointment could have been a MyChart message.
Because really, who's got time to travel an hour to a 5 minute appointment?

I just got this special tattoo inspired by @CancerCanuck who still holds a special place in this community. Pink ribbons for my own #cancer & diagnosis date. This is the best worst club but every time I see this I’m reminded of our strength. #BreastCancer @ThanksCancer
