@FightCRC, count AZ in! Just got this today, just in time for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

🚨 BREAKING: Congress just passed H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act,—and it has serious implications for millions of Americans, including colorectal cancer survivors.

I know that many people forget why they walked into a room sometimes, but chemo brain takes this to a whole other level.

@NinaWil83565015 @ThanksCancer Being a cancer patient is hard enough. We need to do everything possible to remove beuacrocy in the process wherever possible. Why are we adding more suffering to someone with a PHd in suffering?!

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@ThanksCancer I say stop, enjoy life, get scanned regularly, and get back in treatments if ever necesssry. I have done all of the above. Being off treatments might feel stressful at first, but avoiding the side effects is so very nice. My two cents.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@BretBaier Painful to see a quality interviewer like @BretBaier get so many ridiculous questions that need debunking.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@JJSingleton1 @Starbucks Stay safe and be well, buddy. And keep the posts coming.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

Get screened. I was 43.

[Fight Colorectal Cancer @FightCRC]

In 2021, 19.7%, or fewer than 4 million of the eligible 19 million adults aged 45-49 years, were up-to-date for colorectal cancer screening.

Thank you @GeneoscopyCo for supporting this tool!

@mikejwhelan Palliative Care is great. It doesn’t mean the end. Just means that there will be more focus on addressing side effects and pain management. I suggest welcoming this new service with open arms. I was nervous too, but now appreciate this type of care much more. My two cents.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@JJSingleton1 Sorry to see this post, my friend. Stay strong.

@ThePOTSPostman I’m on Metoprolol, and have been for a few years. I don’t get the impression that it is causing fatigue. Just my experience, and I’ve been fighting fatigue a long time, mostly due to other drugs I think. Worth a conversation with your doctor though. My two cents.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

Happy birthday, dear Jodie Willis. Thirty-seven and shining, your legacy endures. Your daughters grow stronger each day. In their smiles, your light shines on. Though absent, your memory stays close to my heart. With enduring love, dad.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@emtrrt_cat For sure. Hit or miss. I think that every round of chemo has its own personality.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@taylormaureen62 This is awesome to read. You’re a warrior. Quite inspiring that someone can go through chemo hell and come out with positive energy.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

I almost want to pluck out my eyelashes, they keep getting so long. One of the drugs I’m taking must cause this. Will ask @Sharizona2 to trim them back again.

Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@katievscancer I’ve had these questions. I like your answer. May borrow it.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

Starting back on oral chemo today (LONSurf). My second time on this one. Sometimes seems like the doctors throw stuff at a wall to see what sticks. Hopefully it knocks down the actively growing lesions. Anyone else been on LONSurf?

@ThanksCancer Keep the happy post. Make more. Even some of us still going through treatments love seeing it. If not, we can look away. Celebrate everything you can.

[Scott Hancock @cbait2k1]

@katievscancer Very nice post!
