An understated superpower that you have as a cancer patient is facing challenges in the 'real world' and going "pfffft..."
It's especially apparent for me in remission (duh). There are times I'm facing a challenge at work, or in sports, or whatever, and wonder, "Am I going to be able to do this?", and I immediately get the feeling that I can.
That's because I Got That Dawg In Me, as the children say. I'm not sure they say that. But I just typed it, and I'm too tired to edit.
Anyway, if you're able to face cancer, you have that... dog... You're tough. You're really fucking tough.
My internal acknowledgment of that is pride showing through. You don't always get to feel proud as a cancer patient. But if you're in treatment or in remission, you've faced some tough shit and had to work hard to do it.
Remember that every once in a while, you can invoke your toughness to help with the other parts of your life.

"Right in the text of the eighth amendment, we will make clear that no one can be charged excessive bail."
"So everyone gets bail?"
"No, sometimes judges will say, no bail."
"But if there is bail, it will always be affordable?"
"No, not that either."
Asked in good faith: How many times has @GregAbbott_TX overstepped his executive authority since the beginning of the covid pandemic only to have the Texas Legislature never push back at all? But he goes ballistic if the Legislature might have pushed the limits once #txlege
We have until Oct. 17 to stop Texas from making the irreversible mistake of executing #RobertRoberson, an innocent person. Join me and @innocence in fighting for Robert by adding your name to his petition: https://t.co/820gNnoqqF
.@GovParsonMO, please do not let Missouri execute
@innocence@the_MIP client #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent person — where there is overwhelming evidence that his trial was constitutionally unfair — on 9/24. https://t.co/sotFhAly2s
We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of.
Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life. https://t.co/eofSDX66tC
