@cancersuckless.bsky.social helps us acknowledge the reality of treatment an cancer care together we and others can help put a focus on mental health especially PTSD that comes with cancer and treatments and living with cancer so that nobody has to think living with PTSD from cancer is acceptable

it's anxiety mood swings insomnia detachment isolation flashbacks and horrible nightmares

Mental health needs to be a higher priority from the start but especially as the time goes by and months and years after diagnosis even if your not on treatment or cured, PTSD can still impact you greatly

and military people are the ones that deal with so much it took me a long time to begin to understand that my traumatic events through cancer are legitimate reason to suffer PTSD.

PTSD is different for everyone so I'm not going sit here and describe everything but for me

PTSD is one of the most complicated and hardest things I've had to deal with in my cancer journey for so many different reasons.

Its hard for me at times to talk about because in my mind i shouldn't be complaining or even saying I suffer with this when first responders surgeons police firefighters

Still crazy that 4 years ago I was mentioned and shown on @fallontonight.bsky.social for being #thegoatofchemotherapy. But Jimmy Fallon back then it was just 93, yesterday I hit my 162ed round, if ever needed a guest to come talk about cancer and colorectal awareness and prevention I'm your guy

continue doing this day after day week after week month and year after year.

But im here and at least I got a cool shirt on for round 162 the all time classic Mario Kart

hadn't came back and spread and was diagnosed terminal incurable.

It's alot to deal with at times, sometimes I'm ok I know I'm lucky in many ways and get some amazing opportunities but some days are just hard as hell to wrap my head around and to

Chemo round 162. It's a mental struggle to be here today

I dont want to experience the next 72 hours
I dont want to feel the hell chemo brings physically or mentally
I wonder sometimes what my life would be like if the cancer

Chemo round 159 completed. Now to recover and get through the side effects and hell that chemo brings

Tough days require tough people but the strongest and toughest usually don't get noticed. I see you

I know it's not easy being my friend or family or someone who cares about me. Cancer is a lot and I know I bring a lot of heavy emotions and baggage but a few people in my life have reminded me what caring and being there not for the issue or event but for the person really is.

Thankful for you

Sometimes I got a quote or a message or something to say that is profound inspirational funny or helpful
Tonight is none of that it's just me watching another day pass and the pointless wishing as the sun went down

Already dreading my procedure Wednesday. Nothing major just a port dye test to figure out if I need a new one but it's still just always something anymore. Life of a cancer patient

Nov 16 2015 3288 days or 9 years ago I walked through the doors to the infusion floor at the cancer center for the first time for the 1st of 12 rounds of chemotherapy to kill the rest of my cancer.
Monday was round 158 it's crazy to think about
