I'll get in the Kick Cancer In The Dick line, no matter how long it is. Modern medicine is amazing and advances every day, so I'm hopeful that we'll find ways to cure most cases of most cancers in our lifetimes, and possibly even come up with vaccines, but that's one motherfucker no one will miss.
Fuck, one of my best friends was just diagnosed with breast cancer, I think stage two. She’s got a positive prognosis and is a hell of a fighter. And she’s married to one of my four best friends with two kids, so any positive vibes y’all could spare would be great!

99.8% of my personal email is uninteresting bullshit (ads, receipts from online transactions, etc.), but I am currently awaiting responses to two different emails, and I am not feeling like the patient person I really want to be.

Just sent a follow up email to one. It’s been a little over 48 hours since I sent the first one and have heard nothing back. Their website says sometimes it can take one to two days for them to get back to you, so I gave it a full two.
On the other, I sent the email a week ago and got an email back on Friday from an assistant saying the person I emailed would be reaching out soon. I haven’t heard anything yet, but from her Instagram, I think she might have taken a day or two off. I am looking to make an appointment for a tattoo consultation, and I don’t think I want to get the tattoo until like October (she’s currently booking consultations for August), so it’s really no rush, but I’m still antsy. Figure I’ll give her until next week sometime before trying again and then checking out different artists if I don’t hear back from her after that.
Put my dad in hospice care yesterday. I thought I'd be ready for this, but I'm not.
I’m so sorry. No one is ever ready for that. Let the people at hospice help you and your family get through this. They can be a great resource and comfort.

Kilby was my first >2 day vacation since starting a “grown up” job where the work is more mine alone than the shared effort of a team, and it’s hell coming back to a week worth of work. Couldn’t even imagine how it would be if I took like a two week international trip or something.
I love festivals, but between how exhausting they are to attend, how much work accrues in the 4-5 day absence, & how I typically get sick after them, they end up feeling more like work than a vacation sometimes. Used to be the type to shit on people who went to Cancun, on a cruise, or a resort for a vacation, as it seemed like just empty luxury that wouldn’t leave much to look back on, but I kinda get it now.

That sucks f. Been there, and I’m sure many others have too. Just be there for him as you can as long as he hangs on. Sometimes it’s a day, sometimes a couple months. My nurse sister did about 20 years of end-of-life palliative care during her career. Hospice nurses are the best. If he’s in a group home, usually those caregivers/lay people are great too. It’s not some shit I’m emotionally equipped for. Anything you need dm.

He actually passed away last Monday. Only made it 2.5 days in hospice care, so he was clearly ready. I’m glad I got to say goodbye before that.

Yeah. That’s awesome that you were able to but sorry man. I got to tell my mom I loved her an hour before she died but we didn’t know she was going out then. My dad passed on Mother’s Day a few years ago. I was supposed to go see him early but it was storming so I had to wait and got the call. He’d been in about 8 weeks. I tried to go by and see him every day those last few weeks. Everyone told me it never gets better but it gets easier. Sometimes maybe. Hope you and the family are okay.
My wife was diagnosed with rectal cancer three weeks ago. Initially it was colon cancer, which would have likely been surgery and done. Instead, with rectal cancer, it's radiation with a chemo pill, then chemo infusions, then possibly surgery. She has a good prognosis but I'm really angry at the world right now.
Before we started radiation, we did an egg retrieval to preserve any possibilities of children in the future. That was March 28. She spent 14 hours in the emergency room on April 1 with the side effects of the retrieval. I was worried she'd never recover going straight into radiation. She did though.
Started radiation on April 8, right around the time of the eclipse! Will forever be memorable to me and not at all to her. 28 radiation sessions (and chemo pills twice a day on radiation days) ended on Wednesday (May 15). We won't know whether the tumor shrunk until inflammation dies down and an MRI can be performed.
Chemo infusions start June 11. Six infusions, three weeks apart, so should be done with the last cycle around the second Friday in October. It's going to be a long year.
