@ThanksCancer @katievscancer Im going to lay on the floor and breath the second I feel myself starting to freak out.

[Thanks Cancer! @ThanksCancer]

Swearing is how I deal with cancer.

I decided my #ChuckTaylorAllStars were the best Chemo day fashion choice.

@JimBobH72 @ThanksCancer 4 months post #bc treatment. Per my doctor I am cured. Per my reality I am healing. I don’t know that I’ll ever feel like it’s gone gone. I am forever changed - physically and psychologically.

Local mom gets 1st haircut since cancer treatment. Hates the new look. Can’t get worked up. Too happy to be alive and cancer free. #thankscancer

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@heymrsbond And that feeling lasts forever. It is disconcerting to say the least.

@deb_maes61 @ThanksCancer We skipped Christmas at my MIL’s because she and 2 of the grandkids had symptoms and tested positive for COVID. But we are the problem. #weruinedChristmas

@amanda_lipke2 @ThanksCancer @Maxx000031 I don’t identify with the pink marketing either.

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

Fear.

[Thanks Cancer! @ThanksCancer]

What does cancer feel like?

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

I was fatigued for at least 10 years before I was diagnosed. I frequently ponder how many of those years I can blame on cancer.

[Thanks Cancer! @ThanksCancer]

Signs of cancer:
👉 Fatigue
👉 A lump
👉 Unexplained weight loss/gain
👉 Pain

Probably not cancer:
👉 Fatigue
👉 A lump
👉 Unexplained weight loss/gain
👉 Pain

Hope that clears things up!

Two boobs. But yes. This.

[Thanks Cancer! @ThanksCancer]

Cancer cost me peace of mind — and a boob.

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@ThanksCancer Thank you for this conversation. I have the anchor but I’ve had 2 surgeries and my 2 are still not a pair. All the replies let me know that this is not uncommon. Still frustrating but not uncommon.

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@bubblybubba @ThanksCancer Yes. I find that my fight or flight response is perpetually triggered these days. I am doing a lot of meditation, deep breathing and relaxation yoga in an attempt to stay calm. #cancer #trauma

@bccww @CancerCanuck @ThanksCancer On the awful side. No one told me what the sentinel node injection entails. I thought I was going in for an regular ole injection. Like In my arm…

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@goodandzero @CancerCanuck @ThanksCancer Mine held my hand and asked me about my kids. Who knew that would be so comforting!?! 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@CancerCanuck A more thoughtful and appreciative versión the me I was b4 cancer.

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@CancerCanuck @ThanksCancer I got an infection and they had to open my surgical incision and clean it while I was awake. The nurse stood at the base of my procedure chair and held my foot the whole time. It was so comforting.

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@CancerCanuck @ThanksCancer All the nurses in recovery told me how wonderful my reconstruction looked and what a pro my doctor was. It was a huge help psychologically.

[Elizabeth @bafsmom]

@amour_de_porc @ThanksCancer YAY!!!!!!!!
