I love books, weird knowledge, cats, scruffy dogs, & happy beautiful things. I yam what i yam.
Lung cancer known since 2019 - both kinds now. Lucky me it just entered my brain.
Trying to stay alive till my boy is almost grown, hopefully. He is 10.

I have stage four cancer – there will be no cure, but death isn’t necessarily imminent: this is how it feels to live in the long middle
When you are cured, the world cheers; when you are dying, it mourns. But when you are simply maintaining, the world is at a loss

I made it to 48! It’s almost a miracle. I was diagnosed at 41 with young lung cancer and I have been stage 4 for over 5 years and now I’m also stage 4 with small cell lung cancer for over a year and a half. I am lucky.
