As someone with advanced ovarian cancer, it is slightly horrifying to have one's lethal disease quantified as a market. Then again, a larger market probably equals more chances of a cure. #cansky #cancersky #cancer #ovariancancee linkewire.com/2025/05/26/o...

Decided (with my doctor) to decrease my dose of Lynparza due to side effects that were compromising my ability to fully enjoy my life. Of course, now I worry the dosage reduction might mean the drug's not as effective at preventing a second recurrence of my #ovariancancer. UGH! #cancersky #cancer

I'm disgusted by the abject stupidity of our current government. And afraid it will eventually kill all of us who can't afford to live in some uber-wealthy compound that will, of course, offer all the services liberals fight for, but only for those rich enough to live in the compound.
