Cancer isn't my life. But it often feels like the lead actor these days
My life is my family, wife, kids, friends, autism and inclusion, my kids soccer and baseball games, pro sports, music technology, and a million other things.
You'll get a mix of all those from me on here.
Just really not feeling it lately each day is a struggle. I'm doing what I'm supposed to my responsibilities and everything but just not feeling anything anymore it seems. But that seems to be life and we move on to keep going
@katievscancer@ThanksCancer Chris (age mid 40s, three kids)
Advanced stage cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct and liver). Mets to liver and peritoneum. Dx'd in August 2023.
Please don't pity me. I'm here. Love me while I'm here. Pity my, my loved ones when this disease finally kills us both.
@allenholub This creates absence of trust, and then everyone wants to squeeZe the steering wheel harder (more process, more oversight, more "guidance"). Communicate:
- what is known
- what are we trying to find out
- what constraints are we applying to make this all reasonable
@stoolpresidente Yet a tragedy strikes (young dad of 3 kids gets cancer, or as a first responder dies in the line of duty and you're first to put up for them). It's almost like the problem isn't the money, it's the attitude of entitlement towards it from some people.
@iantheCROAT We lead such glamorous lives. I spent 10 days. Finally came home yesterday. Was there for a week, 2 weeks prior to that. Single handedly making the hospital gown this summers hottest fashion! Beard looks great, my dude.
And, of course, the amazing Steve Carrell. Two Massachusetts natives. Cant avoid Reynolds lately, between Deadpool and Wrexham. All this is either the universe telling me to find better ways to bond with my kids, OR, I'm supposed to be homies with these 3 famous actors.
Just checked out of hospital after complications in my cancer treatment. Missed my kids for 10 days. We decided to sit and watch a movie and found "If".
@VancityReynolds and @johnkrasinski my heart is in a mission pieces on the floor. God this life is hard. Love you all.
Cancer friends, any of you gone through legacy planning/scrapbooking to leave your kids with memories, pictures mementos, advice, or even the words of your friends, colleagues and family about you? Found any good productized services that do this? Crowd sourced CV sorta?
@kevinolearytv sounds like a fit to expand your wedding services into life moment services.
I'm stage 4 cancer, but would love to pull together some numbers, a plan and figure out how to make this a scalable way to meet this tremendous need in the market.
@TheCancerSutra Ok Mike. We're all here, ready to support and high five along the way. You are going to beat this as many times as it takes beating.
I go in tomorrow for 2 nerve block procedures to reduce the pain and get to feeling a little better a little more often
