Anna Maul

I’m outside of Texas Oncology holding a certificate of completion from my radiation therapists. My hair is very short but it’s growing back!

My smiling bearded partner is enjoying a piece of birthday cake at a local Mexican bakery.

There’s an UPDATE! It’s Scott’s birthday today and mine is Thursday so check out the full update here:

My heart to you, birthday beloved! @daemonburrito is the best 💜

Same, @brendelbored.bsky.social , same.

It’s a picture of Anna Maul pointing to an “I voted early” sticker on her Black Cats (Black Flag parody) shirt that is blue and cut into a tank top. Anna Maul’s hair is growing back but still very short and fuzzy looking. The background is a multi colored circular pattern. Check your local mid-term elections! Certain political groups are trying to make sneaky changes to how the judicial process operates. It’s important to go vote!

#voted. There are important reasons to go and vote. In #ATX , I’m FOR Props 1, 7, 10, 14 and Q. I’m AGAINST all the other PROPS trying to undermine justice and defund education.

Also, my fundraiser has a tiny url now if you’re wanting to share or see today’s updates!:

It’s a selfie of Anna Maul. Anna Maul is wearing a black tank top with a black and white scarf draped around their neck. There’s a very short and fuzzy growth of hair on their head, and eyebrows are growing back too. Anna Maul has a pleased look. Backdrop is a mahogany colored leather chair.

Update!

There’s a new update on how things are going for me: www.gofundme.com/f/aid-anna-m...

I just posted a link to the update. It’s been rough!

Zeek, the yellow-eyed black cat, is standing in a basket while Marbles, the green-eyed black cat, rests on a pillow behind her.

#Marbles and #Zeek have been watching over me as I recover from surgery.
New (long) UPDATE :
www.gofundme.com/manage/aid-a...

I miss #MarblesMonday as much as you do. Hopefully we can get back to normal-ish soon.

I’m waiting for surgery. I’m wearing a tight fitting cap to keep my bald head warm, a loose cotton tunic with a rainbow of stripes, and my hospital bracelets (one is yellow and reads “fall risk” in bold black lettering). Anxious undertones are trying to be pushed aside by a smile of hope.

Surgery day. Wish me luck!

The gofund.me/e2422386 is ever closer to covering my emergency dental because of your support. 💜 …but still $1200 shy of the procedure tomorrow.

Marbles, the green-eyed black cat, sits in front of a glossy black surface and looks into the camera. Above her are the words “One raindrop raises the sea.” and a busy abstract line pattern in orange and yellow.

This #MarblesMonday, #Marbles brings us a reminder that YOU MATTER! Even a raindrop raises the sea. Keep doing your good stuff!

The gofund.me/e2422386 is ever closer to covering my emergency dental because of your support. 💜

A nurse’s hand is holding a silver bell and I am pulling the rope to ring out and signal the end of my chemotherapy sessions, and herald in the next part of my cancer journey of surgeries and other treatments.

Some of the best nurses I have had the pleasure of meeting are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate in their work and throw confetti at patients 😊

It’s me in the chair, the uncomfortable recliner, for the last time 🤞 fingers crossed.

Almost forgot! I got to ring the bell that sounds the end of my chemotherapy treatments and heralds in my upcoming surgeries.
There was confetti and a certificate from my nurses at the infusion center.

gofund.me/e2422386 ever closer to covering my emergency dental because of your support. 💜

Cancer can’t take the smile off my face! I’m holding up a paper that says “6th and LAST!” and I’m wearing a purple tank top with a burgundy apron, and background is milk-drop multicolored swirls and bloops. The filter makes the burgundy look more red, and the purple looks more like blue-violet. It’s all good. I am hopeful about this course of treatment and grateful for all the support.

Check out my update. It’s my 6th and FINAL chemo treatment today!!! www.gofundme.com/f/aid-anna-m...

I’m sitting in the uncomfortable recliner at the infusion center and getting iv fluids in my chest port. I’m wearing a black tank top, and a satin cap that is rainbow and black leopard print.

Back in the chair, getting fluids in preparation for my FINAL chemo session tomorrow!

Picture is of me from the last time I went to get IV fluids. Long version: A crown came off while I was eating and when I bit down it cracked my partial. The tooth with the miscreant crown is totally decayed and needs to be pulled. It will require a bone graft so that bit is $1k for the tooth. My upper partial is $2k to replace. That makes it possible to eat foods that aren’t mush. I’ve checked around, and this is the most affordable price. Plus, I trust this dentist and their skills at doing a quality job. It turns out that chemotherapy can weaken dental stuff, so that sucks. But I’m almost done! I just need to get this taken care of so my surgery doesn’t get delayed. Please donate if you can. There’s not been a donation for a bit, and this dental surgery is crucial stuff.

Short version: Y’all, It’s definitely an emergency situation to raise $3000 within the next few days to cover a very important dental surgery.

Marbles, the green-eyed black cat, is lying down behind two stuffed black cat pillows that are in a similar pose.

#MarblesMonday is off to a silly start. #Marbles isn’t like other cats, and that’s why she’s so wonderful. Are you trying to blend in or stand out today?

My dehydrated self in a recliner and getting more IV fluids into my chest port. I’m wearing a burgundy tank top, grey scarf cap, and a glum look as I sit in front of a large window of the Seton Main Hospital’s infusion center.

I’m back in the chair, getting more fluids pumped into my (not so) gushy body!

Marbles, the green-eyed black cat, is on the grey pillow and pretending to hold on to avoid falling off into space!

Almost let #MarblesMonday slip by without this beautiful image of #Marbles in her Imaginarium! Marbles likes to pretend she’s falling off this pillow into space. Do you get swept away by imagination?

At the infusion center getting more IV fluids in my chest port after I got my belly shot of bio-boosting marrow production done. So I’m sitting in the uncomfortable recliner for three extra hours today. It helps a bunch but it’s annoying. I’m wearing my black tank top linen apron and skull cap.

More IV fluids today with my bio-boosting belly shot. I’m gonna be so juicy!

Sitting in the infusion center’s very uncomfortable recliner, I am holding up my right hand with fingers extended to indicate that this is my fifth chemotherapy treatment out of six! I’m wear a great scarf rag to cover my bald scalp, and a burgundy tank top. I’m smiling a little because the nurse brought a fan to clip onto the IV stand because it’s so hot today by the large window. Also, I’m getting really good at drawing on eyebrows!

Chemo infusion 5 of 6 and then surgery. It seems like the days are a blur.
…but the bills keep coming.

I’m sitting in the infusion center, getting fluids pumped into my body via the port in my chest. I’ve got a sporty yellow bracelet that says “FALL RISK” on my right wrist. I’ve been too dizzy so they want me extra juicy for tomorrow’s chemo session.

Back in the chair, a day early, because I need IV fluids again. #fuckcancer, but I’m down to get hydrated in this heat!

It’s me, getting IV fluids for two hours. I have a dandy cotton scarf of purple, black and blue wrapped around my scalp, and I’m wearing a purple tank top. I’m sitting in a beige recliner that is really uncomfortable. An IV drip is seen going into the port in my chest. The look on my face is of “oh well, same thing/different day”. I’m very grateful to have a new oncologist who actually listened to my concerns.

It’s been a rough week. Today’s visit was actually good. The new oncologist listened to my concerns, ordered meds for my side effects, and then sent me to the infusion room (where we are now) for IV fluids.
Hope this will help. 🤞🤞

Marbles, the green-eyed black cat, is looking up into the distance, beyond the viewer’s left shoulder, as she lays curled up in her basket. The background is a coin operated toy dispensing machine full of “paw pals” that are miniature cats and dogs made of plastic.

Round 4 picture of me sitting in one of the infusion center’s bug recliner chairs with my IV line to my left side as it drips chemotherapy into my port in my chest. I am wearing a black do-rag that helps regulate my temperature since losing my hair, my eyebrows are thinner now, but I am still smiling! Still smiling and holding up four fingers on my left hand to show that I’m getting closer to the goal of kicking cancer to the curb with every session! Next week I will meet with the surgeon and have another update. Plus I will have a new oncologist, the one I requested from the start! I’ll let you know how that goes.

Here’s a picture from my session.
