My breast cancer was on the left so I was concerned about damage to my heart with radiation. To his credit, my radiologist talked to me repeatedly to reduce my fears and showed me that the machine wouldn’t turn on unless I was in the correct position on the table.

A perfect weekend. My latest breast MRI is all clear. The weather is mild with a lovely breeze. I live within walking distance of an excellent Chinese restaurant and bagel shop. I’m listening to The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong on audiobook. I have what I need.❤️

My daughter ✋

I’m a breast cancer survivor. Thank you - this means a great deal to your patients.

Yes, it’s very disrespectful but Dr. Hayden will be fine. I’m more worried about what the Trump administration will do to the collection at the Library of Congress.

Where is the outrage, ALA? I shudder to think what the Trump administration will do to that collection.

YES!

What a pallid mealy mouthed response on your part ALA! You should be outraged. You should be indignant. Instead you sound like you are saying, "Oh well, nice job, too bad you're going." #CarlaHayden being fired calls for a NATIONAL strike of librarians, not a wimpy flaccid comment on your part.

Yes. Chatting with other women In waiting rooms, trains, planes, etc. is something I enjoyed. Not as frequent these days…

My daughter’s money came today, due on the 3rd. Wells Fargo “early payday” means receiving it 2 days early. I don’t feel confident at all about the next several months.

Your writing is so powerful. Breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Don’t underestimate the impact of your book. You making the point that women should not feel guilt about spending money on what makes life pleasurable (travel, hobbies) made a difference with me.

Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl is both luminous & uncomfortable to watch. The movie shows the hard truths about the choices women make. She’s a very underrated actress who deserves an award for her performance. #movies

While discussing my continuing post chemo word retrieval problems w/the nurse practitioner at the GYNONC yesterday, she said, “Cancer treatment can be very emotionally traumatizing, adding to the problem.” First time I’ve been so directly validated.

The opposite of this is when someone tells you their granny had the same cancer, she’s still alive at 94, so why am I concerned about my situation…?!?

It took four different cancers since late 2021 to get me to see that God was always with me. It took all this for me to see it.

Everyone knows the school librarian when research papers are due tomorrow.

On my birthday, I can firmly say that growing older is a privilege. During this time last year prophylactic surgery found #ovariancancer which was able to be removed before it spread. I don’t take anything for granted.

And thus, ChatGPT should be categorically banned from all spaces in which plagiarism is against the rules, especially academia and journalism.
