November is #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth.

I’m a 10-year breast cancer survivor caring for my mother, who has a rare blood cancer.

I’ve lived cancer from BOTH sides. Neither comes with an instruction manual!

Caregiving is love, but it’s complicated. We need care, too! 💜

[Megsie @warriormegsie]

My mother was searching YouTube & came across an old interview of mine with @Patient_Story & was SO excited to tell me!

Spotlights and accolades are great, but nothing compares to hearing your mother say she’s proud of you. 🥰

When cancer worlds collide.

For #CaregiverAwarenessMonth, I’m reflecting on being both a breast cancer survivor and caregiver to my mother, who has a rare blood cancer.

I’m her daughter. Her caregiver. A survivor still managing my own health.

Some days, we BOTH need care. 💜

I carry the lessons, strength, and resilience of the fierce Pueblo women who raised me.

It is the honor of my lifetime to serve New Mexico as your 33rd Governor — and to make history as the first Native American woman elected Governor in our nation’s history.

I will always fight for the people and communities that made me who I am.

Let’s get to work.

Dear @realDonaldTrump

Make no mistake YOU were on the ballot across this nation.

And you are LOSING almost everywhere.

TONIGHT is a REPUDIATION of your entire Presidency.

[Terry Lee Watkins Jr. 王瑞民💜💙 @TerryWatkinsJr1]

Thank you Stacey Abrams.

You planted the seed that Black people, no, Black WOMEN in the south deserve dignity and representation.

Georgia will never forget you.

[Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Thank you, Florida.

We didn’t get the result we fought for tonight. I’m not going to pretend that it doesn’t hurt.

But I want y’all to hear me. What we built together is REAL. Every door you knocked, every call you made, every dollar you gave and every friend you brought to the polls proved that working people in this state are ready for something better.

That movement isn’t going anywhere, and neither am I.

The fight continues.

Love, Angie 💗

We did it! Thank you, Georgia!

Utterly heartbroken. My friend, my chosen sister Abigail has died from metastatic breast cancer.

Bonded over writing in 2019 and last saw each other in September, somehow knowing it might be goodbye.

Brilliant. Bold. Beautiful. She fiercely loved her family and #MBC community.

[Abigail Johnston @AMJohnston1315]

It is with heavy hearts, we announce that Abigail Johnston passed away from metastatic breast cancer on Thursday, October 29, 2026 surrounded by her family.

Here’s your reminder to take ALL of your PTO. Every. Single. Day.

Be present for your family and friends.

But most importantly, show up for YOURSELF.

Your time, peace, energy & well-being matter.

REST & PRIORITIZING yourself are forms of resistance.

@sarahnuccio I hear you! When I was asked if I regretted it last week, I felt proud of myself for being so sure in my response. I remember right after the initial surgeries questioning myself but knew in my gut that I made the right decision for me.

[Megsie @warriormegsie]

I chose a lumpectomy & radiation. My care team ultimately took a quadrant, called quadrantectomy.

No regrets. I’m still here 10 years later.

It hurts when people judge me for not having a double mastectomy. These decisions are deeply personal. Respect mine as I respect yours.

[Megsie @warriormegsie]

@JaniceTNBCmets Right?! I just felt it was important to remind people that whatever surgery choice made is personal and the right decision for you and no one else.

[Megsie @warriormegsie]

@stage4kelly Exactly. I went back and read my journal from that time and that’s what my care team told me. What I appreciated is the support of my care team for whichever option I selected.

Y’all! Pinch me! 🙌🏽 I’m talking about the messy parts of #BreastCancer survivorship. It’s not all pink ribbons and inspirational stories. It’s complicated, at times downright HARD. We deserve space to talk about ALL of it!

⚠️ TW: Graphic radiation burns.

I’ll never forget what #radiation did to my skin. My flesh literally burned off. When I cried in agony, my oncologist said, “I’ve seen worse.”

After 33 rounds, I still carry the scars & trauma of having my pain dismissed.

BELIEVE OUR PAIN! #BCAM
