This week's nausea and vomiting comes with the spins Yay me Of course I'm extra sensitive to the radiation Why would anything in my life be uncomplicated #CancerSucks #RadiationTherapy #CrankyAF

Sixteen down, nine to go Finally in the single-digits for radiation #RadiationTherapy #VulvarCancer #CancerSucks

I'll be ordering it again, because, damn, it was tasty And there isn't much I'm enjoying eating these days

They don't have me on the diabetic menu this time Guess who ordered the apple crisp with lunch 😁 #CancerSucks #HospitalStay #RadiationTherapy

The VG's turkey dinner (a weekend option) is definitely one of its better inpatient meals

That sunshine sure is nice

I am never going to get used to having multiple people inspecting my vulva on the daily #VulvarCancer #WoundCare #CancerSucks

want to feel old? this is caillou today

My scans came back and no new cancer So relieved!!! I may have to stay in hospital for the rest of my cancer treatments, but no new cancer

Oooh, lasagna on special for supper at the VG tonight

Readmitted to the VG yesterday because I couldn't keep anything down Oncologist says I'm extra sensitive to the radiation treatments, plus the radiation field is quite large, so that's why I'm having extra issues Good times, good times

Former NS Health Minister Jamie Muir is also confused about where everyone is going to park at the VG once parking is fre Ran into him at the Dickson entrance As he pointed out, you can't find parking now, paying for it

Soon heading back to Halifax for the week Today will be radiation #12

Feeling alright today, so I think we're going out for supper as a family

CW: Cancer & over-positivity I am doing everything I can, and will somehow do sh*t I can't, to fight this cancer But I'm still allowed to be upset that I HAVE FRICKIN' CANCER Please stop shoving 'just stay positive' down my throat when I express feelings b/c it makes this easier for YOU

I do not care how I feel tomorrow, I am getting to Brookfield Bakery

Fracking debate splits Colchester County Council www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Tunes are cranked tonight

My oncologist thinks the lymph nodes are still growing, so full body CT scan next week to see if that's the case. If it is, she may stop radiation. And, that's not good news, folks 😔

I will never understand why my anti-nausea med tastes like strawberry marshmallow candy The point is NOT to vomit

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

10 down, 15 to go 40% through radiation #VulvarCancer #CancerSucks #OneDayAtATime

Eight down, Seventeen to go About a third of the way done #CancerSucks #VulvarCancer #RadiationTherapy

The pain is not good #CancerSucks #VulvarCancer

Back down to Halifax for treatments I stay the week and come home weekends Travel is already very uncomfortable and tiring so this greatly reduces all of that Plus, gives Brett & the kids a break from seeing some of this #CancerSucks #RadiationTherapy #VulvarCancer

So Much Gas 😆 Was not expecting so much burping and tooting as a side effect, but I guess it's pretty common with pelvic radiation #CancerSucks #SomeSideEffectsAreFunnyThough

It's a beautiful Saturday in Hilden ☀️
