The fact that anyone wanted to purchase that shirt makes me sick to my stomach.

There just aren’t enough words… Also, the mental gymnastics some are doing to explain Leon Musket’s nazi salute not being a nazi salute…is just…flabbergasting. All gold medalist in mental gymnastics and generalized stupidity.

My sister said there's like five, but one she named was "the red devil", which has a much longer name. I believe that is the one he begins tomorrow for the next five days, and needs to be in patient to monitor fluids (I'm sure you know all about how harmful it is).

Wow! So scary! Life can change so fast whether we like it or not.

As of now, no growth. I just can't even wrap my head around this. Beginning of October, he had some leg pain and weird swelling. Within a month, he qualifies to be a Make a Wish Kid. All of the worst case scenarios I was imagining before the MRI were bad, but cancer was so not on my radar.

CT scan showed same concerning spot on lung, but have determined it's too small to biopsy. The plan is chemo and probably eventually radiation on that as well. There's so many questions I want to ask my sister but unless she wants to share, I don't think she has the bandwidth.

I'm so happy to hear that there is no longer evidence of disease! They didn't officially grade it (at least my sister hasn't told me after the bone marrow biopsy). It is Ewings Sarcoma though officially. They found a small spot on his chest on the PET scan, however, it didn't light up.

How are you doing now, by the way? 18 months sounds very rough!

Thank you so much! So far he has had two rounds of chemo two weeks ago, and Monday he begins a 5 day in patient series of chemo. It already has made him sooooooo tired. Hopefully he can enjoy Thanksgiving today and not think about Monday too much.

All we know now is that chemotherapy is going to start ASAP. This feels so unfair and visceral, and I cannot even imagine how my sister is keeping it together right now. #fuckcancer #SadAuntieRamble

All started with leg pain and swelling with zero explanation. My paramedic brain ran through several bad possibilities: blood clot, compartment syndrome somehow, cellulitis etc. Cancer was not on my radar. The doctor seems very good and was 100000% positive it's cancer. If you pray, please do.

Correct, they cannot bully the woman you are! I hope it went ok!

It is totally ok and allowed to leave whenever the hell you want to, Amber! If you aren't being heard/seen/respected, get up and leave. They don't get to bully you anymore! ❤️

Yes! I lose all of my lip products and will usually find 3-12 all hanging out somewhere tricky in my purse!

Absolutely. I will always do the report on my end. It was mind boggling.

One example is: upon pulling EM doc and RN aside to give report, paramedic shares that this is a frequent patient with injuries not matching mom's stories, and then the paramedic is cut off by doc and says "you know what? Do whatever you want, I'm not making a report!" and storms off.
