I love the thing in Star Trek when they list a bunch of events and always include a real event from history followed by a fictional event. Such a cool way to immediately give credibility to the fictional one.

I wonder if there’s a name for this. I’m sure it’s a well known writing technique but it just hit me last night when watching Voyager.

Sorry for using the H word

Finished chemo today Technically still have 14 days of pills until officially done but I am counting today as a big milestone Thank you to my partner, family, friends, all the amazing healthcare workers, and all of you for your encouragement and support

Update 6 Infusion 2 of 4 done. Deferred from last week bc my ALT was 407 😳 down to 154 today. Cold sensitivity notably worse this time. Feel more woozy kind of overall. But not bad. I continue to feel so grateful that this is all I have to deal with.

Update for awareness part 3 Well it turns out I have cancer after all 😅 Just had surgery to remove part of my colon and everything went well! Feel so much better today and hopefully going home tomorrow. Doc still has to look at lymph nodes so I may need some chemo but I feel good about everything.

Update for awareness! Just had my second colonoscopy (this one with EMR) to remove a larger polyp that couldn’t be removed during my first one. Everything went well! Doc still has to review to make sure there is no cancer but she feels good about it.

Also consume lots of fiber! I was doing the gummies but doc said those are mostly useless so I’ve switched to the powder. A fiber-rich diet can help reduce risk a lot. I wish I knew that 10 years ago!
