@balikpappan Toast with butter. And I love Mac and cheese. And not homemade. The cheap yellow kind. But my taste varies . Whatever sounds good enjoy while you can cause tomorrow it might not. 😘

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@freeforeverm @stillsickofit Thank you and I 100% agree. 🙏🏼

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@coldhearteddam3 I’m not sure when you were diagnosed but I was really sick in the fall and we were blessed with SO many sun out days. I can really tell the difference on my energy. Hang in there…you aren’t alone!

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@stillsickofit Yes to fresh air!

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@stillsickofit Hopefully I didn’t just jinx myself! Lol. I am 51 so I’ve got that on my side. ❤️ I just want to comfort people and encourage them to not be so afraid! Precovid life was SO different.

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@stillsickofit I have stage IV lung cancer. Bald, frail. Unvaccinated. I still never wear a mask unless I’m at the cancer center. I just don’t go close to anyone basically anywhere. I wash my hands and take care of my nutrition and sleep. God bless people. I don’t like fear driven behavior.

@coldhearteddam3 Do you live where it’s cold? I’m in IL and I blame a lot of my mind set on the dreary cold weather.

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@coldhearteddam3 Exactly me! My body can still do so many things but my mind holds me back. Am I lazy? Am I depressed? I know my time on earth is limited (for me)…do I want to spend it on my couch? I try to ask God for help and just push ahead. But I do love a day with zero on my agenda.

@Fae_Tilly_ @JonClar58684712 @ThanksCancer What is your mutation exactly? I am EGFR + but also RAD-51. Curious what the HALT SABR trial is. My issue is my brain. I will have a MRI in 2 weeks. I’ve already had surgery on brain, gamma knife and whole brain radiation.

@ThatEricAlper Cliffhanger

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@keen_observer2 @Career_Cupid Oh yes, I see palliative care. I have a tumor on my T-9 and 2 compression fractures. Yay Cancer!

@Amonavis9 @LynnK4Health @esme_saysno I hate that term. “Antivaxxer”. I would say 95% of the “despicable people” on Twitter are “anti mandates”. I mean now I might be considered an antivaxxer…actually anti pharma. But prior to 2020 I was very pro “science”. Until it was not science anymore.

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@EleyseGottman @Warrenrk2 @esme_saysno So I am agreeing with you! Lol. I just get fired up by the Dont kill your Gramma angle of the pandemic. 😂

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@EleyseGottman @Warrenrk2 @esme_saysno If Granny is vaccinated…isn’t Granny protected? Once the vaccine was available this is my LEAST favorite reason to vaccinate everyone.

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@keen_observer2 @Career_Cupid I agree. I’m a nurse and I didn’t know young healthy people can get lung cancer. I feel like I’m living a nightmare. No screening for lung cancer sucks.

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@sharingneedles @BohemianAtmosp1 Sadly no. Stage IV. No symptoms of lung cancer until it went to my brain. 😭 I wish I had caught Covid and had a chest X-ray in 2020. But nope.

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@AnneLaPorte13 @StephenVLiu @ClinicalLung Also what is IT treatment? LMD?

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@AnneLaPorte13 @StephenVLiu @ClinicalLung Are you on Tagrisso AND chemo?

[Laura Falk @LauraFalk11]

@BScleavage @ThanksCancer I’d talk to your HR department.
