Hey! Donate here https://t.co/FAte1mFEmF for #pinktober2018 That’s all I’m going to say on the subject.

Here I go again on my own. Going down the only road I’ve ever known. My family and friends are with me, I was never alone. Throughout this journey of life I have grown.

@lori_burwell Shit! Enjoy this Christmas but don’t ignore the nastiness, it sucks energy and steals joy. Power through, and remember that you can’t control next Christmas anyway. Your drunk cousin might punch your sister in the face and your uncle might run off with the post man 🤷‍♀️

@astro_jje Always red

@CovertQT It’s also amazing how you can hold it back to enjoy goood food and friends. Of course, one always feels much, much, worse later.

@coldethyl2 Decaf sound’s a bit like adulting to me.

Looking for a boost. Where’s @TheNakedPodcast when you need it? Come back!

@bowskeyes @stephenjbrooks Nope! Gamma! I’m not fancy enough for protons. The @VarianMedSys Edge is pretty fancy though. I try to remember that they are somewhat better at accelerator physics than us. *realizes whole life revolves around misalignment of beams* #WomenInSTEM #breastcancer

Radiation treatment done. Bertie the Brain Lesion can suck it! #breastcancerrealitycheck

@coldethyl2 Book tickets for an event 3 months and 1 week away or buy and wrap a birthday gift for someone who’s birthday is more than 3 months away.

@cancerhusband1 Currently on first line weekly Taxol. Round 25. Liver lesion resolved. Everything else (lymph nodes & ribs) smaller/less active.

@iamscicomm How about something slightly less pink. I like @littleBits

@at819 Thank you. 🙂

@Sarah_JB_S Indeed.

Well, darn it! It’s spread to my brain. Simply unacceptable. #BreastCancerRealityCheck

@BSBreastCancer Feel like a failure when people help me and then I remember that I would be offended if I had a friend that refused my help. It’s not all about me. #breastcancerrealitycheck

@paulinedaniels I’ll take badger. Right now I’m starting to look like my 70 year old father.

@CerianJenkins I have a wig but am too lazy and have too many hot flashes to bother wearing it. Authenticity is not required for someone going through cancer treatments. #bccww

@ScienceSoph @bowskeyes I am an accelerator physicist and a pink stationary kind of girl. 👜💄💅👒👗
