Proud to wear my @buffalo-bills.bsky.social Intercept Cancer Hoodie!

Too young for a mammogram, yet it was terminal from day one. I had 2.5 & 5 y/olds. I’m a unicorn—only 22% live 5+ years. Now 6.5 yrs in, I’ve > doubled my life expectancy.

Wrapping up my romantic birthday/Valentine’s/cancerversary in style—at the ultra-modern Arthur Child Cancer Centre! This “resort” boasts sunny courtyard views at reception & private rooms overlooking the @ucalgary.bsky.social . And with -30°C outside, I’ll take the sunshine from indoors, thanks!

My 8- and 10-year old kids are amazing little philanthropists in the making, and are trying to raise $21,500 for cancer research. They are 62% to target! They only need $8,158 to get there!

You can donate through their personalized Terry Fox school run page:…

I’m blown away at the number of people who are laughing at the fact that I am dying from terminal cancer and that COVID-19 is making me sicker than I already am.

What has happened to empathy?

F*ck you COVID-19. I’ll be lucky to make it through alive. @billmaher This is what happens when my kids’ dad throws away the masks I gave them. One of them brought COVID-19 home and I got it. I’m not doing well and my kids will have to live with that.
January 10, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Because I feel strongly about this, tried to email your @Hbo email but hoping your @substack email works.

@billmaher If there is a better way to reach you by email, could you please DM it to me?

Thank you!

It’s not too late to donate! We are at 60% to the kids’ goal, with $8,653 to go.

Darrell Fox made a lifelong impression on ~400 school kids, when he visited their school on Tuesday. My kids led Darrell into the schoolyard carrying the school’s Terry Fox flag.

My kids told me they won’t be done fundraising until they reach their goal of $21,500 this year.…

To my Calgary peeps. Has anyone seen any COVID-19 tests. I’ve been exposed to COVID-19. I’m immunosuppressed from my palliative cancer treatments. I just used my last test, and I am thankfully negative, but it was a very recent exposure.

I also found out these are no longer free…

A big heartfelt thanks for all the comments.

My 10 year old just painted this (after watching a video on @YouTube and thinks it’s awful because the tent doesn’t look like a tent and the aurora borealis isn’t good enough. I could never paint something this good. Any #artists out here who can provide constructive feedback?…

Well, that was fun. Homebound! There was nothing they can do. They can’t find the clot, and I’m already on anticoagulants, so it’s up to my body to break it down.

I hate this. I’m in the ER again, though that’s not what I am hating right now. Another person is diagnosed with cancer in the ER, and I’m hearing all of it. She’s being told it’s aggressive. The doctor is explaining that she’ll need a biopsy in the morning, then see an…

It’s awful. I have terminal cancer and I waited 11 weeks to see my radiation oncologist, who I met with on Thursday. Here is a short version of my story include in a response I directed at Smith and LaGrange:

UPDATE: I may have a lead on FaceBook, but the person who thinks she knows her doesn’t know her last name. I’m hoping she knows the area she lives in. 🤞

How has this random comment about my prosthetic gotten 23K views? The posts I want to get views don’t, but the ones that aren’t as important to me to share widely do. 😆

Thank you to @markhollandlib for stepping in to make things right. Here is Minister Holland's written statement.

The @cantaskforce had an opportunity to get screening right. 10 provinces ALREADY lowered the age, but each have slight variations, so this now means Canadians have different access to screening by postal code.

Earlier breast cancer screening not advised, task force says
In a split with Cancer Society recommendations, a federal panel said it found no compelling evidence to warrant lowering the routine screening age to 40 for average-risk individuals

After talking to her and telling her I’d be happy to advocate on the phone. I gave her talking points and told her that she shouldn’t leave without a mammo + ultrasound. Glad to report she was able to advocate for herself after meeting with another doctor in the same clinic.
