I love adoptable pets, social justice, and community building. I'm fighting stage iv metastatic cancer and believe love, hope, and science lead to miracles.

The @USNavy should release footage of this and other incidents to show the world the irresponsibility and lack of professionalism from the PLA Navy, and to demonstrate U.S. resolve to nevertheless operate wherever international law allows.

I extra love this because sunflowers are often a symbol of the fight to survive sarcomas. Today my #StageIV sarcoma cancer is making breathing difficult so I need physical strength to breathe and spiritual stremgth to hope for a clinical trial to find a cure. #CancerLife

@rjritzel *hug* I'm so sorry it's so hard :(

[Bethany Meissner @Bethanylcm]

@justupthepike @jarrodjabre On a personal level, aside from the massive community good you do, yu have been one of the people I believe God has worked through to make the last three years bearable for @jarrodjabre and me.

[Bethany Meissner @Bethanylcm]

@justupthepike For what it's worth, you would be very welcome at Grace. @jarrodjabre & I would love to take you some Sunday if you ever want. I can also understand not being interested if places were less than awesome after you came out. I'm sorry they made you feel unwelcome.

Dr. James Allison and Dr. Tasuku Honjo’s immunotherapy discovery uses our own body’s defenses to destroy cancer. Today’s @NobelPrize award is a significant leap toward ending cancer as we know it and paving the path to a cure. Congratulations and thank you.

Seriously, it sounds shallow but looking like a normal cute thirtysomething rather than just a super ill patient makes chemo days suck a little less. #stageiv #CancerLife #CancerFierce

Hey @TorridFashion thanks for making a top that both makes me feel good about how I look, but also allows my nurse to access my port https://t.co/aBR186lqie #StageIV #BelowTheBeltCancer
