Hi friends. 2015 is coming to a close, and I have decided not to renew https://t.co/LcrfmpLVDs.

[Lani @lanisia]

@xeni thank God, sis. May we say the same of 2017.

@xeni I remember my onc told me that they didn't know if Herceptin needed chemo or not to be effective. But all the data were with chemo.

[Lani @lanisia]

Sadness seeps into the cracks of my life and weighs me down. I don't know how to answer when people here and now ask me how I am.

[Lani @lanisia]

Unlike my IRL friends, though, I am not connected to her husband, her sister, her family. So I grieve in between my regular life.

[Lani @lanisia]

Although I have not been an active participant in #bcsm for some time, @jodyms was a friend who went beyond my online cancer support.

[Lani @lanisia]

I am at the post-cancer phase of basically living my "regular" life -- modified by late side effects and other such things.

[Lani @lanisia]

It's hard to explain how the death of an online cancer sister can shake me up so profoundly. It's more than PTSD. It's existential. #bcsm

I wonder if it's good to make the leader of world's largest military someone who immediately jumps to conclusions

[Lani @lanisia]

@GregSmithMD thanks for checking in. It's been hard news, even knowing it was imminent. Hope you are well.

[Lani @lanisia]

These lines from Mary Oliver, a poet @jodyms and I loved, keep echoing through my head today. #bcsm

[Lani @lanisia]

@stales @DrAttai @xeni @chemobrainfog @socflyny @uvmer @NancysPoint @KathiKolb @feistybluegecko ... All of you were there for me. Thanks.

Thanks to Jody's vision for #bcsm, I not only have new Twitter friends, but "real life" friends too. Hugs to all who knew and loved her.
