I'm not waiting on a cancer diagnosis this Thanksgiving. My baby sister is such an amazing person. She helped take such good care of me this past year. She is a wonderful friend. She is an amazing Mom! She is the Mom of the little gal you see in so many of my pics. I am so thankful to have my little sister in my life!
I looked at this picture later and realized that this pose has been duplicated year after year, holiday after holiday..........with my Mamaw (Grandmother). We lost her last April and we all miss her so much. I look at this photo and I am sitting in the position my Grandmother always sat in for photos. My sister is in the position that I always assumed.
I am reminded that she is still with us and in my heart. She would have liked the Doc Martens in Red Patent Leather! :)

I'm working w/ the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) over the next year to help document and share their amazing stories of cutting-edge cancer research and treatment. I'm going to be photographing events, building a photo archives, creating patient and; doctor stories and other creative storytelling projects that arise. This weekend I attended the Swim Across America and The Pink Boat Regatta. I'll be back down next month to photograph the #PurpleStride marathon and a bunch of other cool community initiatives.

My ultimate goal is to have a camp for amputee children that would include sports, meditation, self-reflection, and self-esteem. It is important to help them be strong, to show them how to deal with all that they have lost, and to let them know that they can lead a normal life. My amputation never hindered me. I did all the things a normal teenage girl would do. I still ski and swim, and I recently started playing tennis again in a wheelchair.
Sometimes unexpectedly, a really amazing thing will happen to you - like a friend calling to meet up for sushi, or finding a beautiful flower, while walking through a forest.
My cancer levels for May dropped to 36 from between 47 and 48 in April. I missed 2 weekly sessions of chemo while hospitalized for 10 days due to my blood infection, so this is really incredible.
Happy dance!
My first night, while still in ER, I was given a COVID-19 test and thankfully found out the next morning I had tested negative. During that night, I didn’t sleep much, I worried about my grocery shopping that morning and wondered if I had unknowingly infected others.
I’m wearing a mask whenever I leave my apt now, to better protect others from me. It helps give me peace of mind, especially when I go for chemo treatment or when around people with compromised immune systems.

Colon cancer is one of the deadliest types of the disease, and this is partly because, among all types, it has the mildest symptoms. Causing no obvious symptoms especially at the early stages, most cases are diagnosed when lesion cancerous change already occurs. At this point, the disease is already in its advanced state and may already be harder to treat.
The physical signs of this disease arise gradually over time, making it difficult for doctors to diagnose it correctly. Most of these symptoms are felt only when the disease is already about to do significant damage to the colon. Thus, timely, quick, and accurate diagnosis is of extreme importance for sufferers.
Common Colon Cancer Symptoms
The main colon cancer symptoms include abdominal pain and discomfort that are often mistaken for digestive tract problems. The patients can experience one or all of the following:
1. Constipation
It is the condition when the person is facing difficulties for passing the stool. In the early stage the waste material in the colon becomes very mushy and this mushy waste can easily get accumulated around anything that gets in its way. But as the time get near to the end of the colon these accumulated waste material solidifies and creates problems for passing it out. There are possibilities of tumor in the rectum's far end and due to this reason the person can face difficulties in moving the fecal things through it. Therefore Constipation can also be a symptom out of several other colon cancer symptoms.
2. Thin stool
The thin stool from the body can easily indicate that some obstacles are there which don't allow the proper passing of the waste material from the body. If the stool can't remain in the mushy form and comes out through the colon region, the stool's shape can provide you information about the problem inside your body. The obstacle which stops the waste material in the body can be a tumor. So, the thin stool coming out from the body is considered as the second symptom among several other colon cancer symptoms.
3. Stomach cramps
Sometimes there becomes blockage in your stomach due to the tumor which causes problem in passing, solids, liquids, and even gas due to the blockage strictness. Finally it results in abdominal cramps that can be severe and the blockage can also stop the flow of blood to the colon. If there are Painful cramps occurring in your stomach it may also indicate that a tumor has perforate and it is a medical emergency. Thus this is also one of the colon cancer symptoms found now-a-days.
For tumors localized in the rectal area, the disease may also be accompanied by rectum irritation, anus pain, or difficulty in defecating. These may also cause dysentery, enteritis, and hemorrhoids.
In the Advanced Stages
The most common symptom of the advanced stages is the development of an irregular abdominal mass with a hard texture. In some cases, such as in transverse and sigmoid colon cancers, the mass can cause pain even at light pressure.
Patients in the late stages of the disease may also experience anemia or the heightened absorption of toxins. These may be accompanied by edema, hepatomegaly, ascites, cachexia, and hypoproteinemia, among many others.
All symptoms of the disease, as can be observed, are linked to painful sensations. Thus, if not diagnosed early, the patient can suffer greatly throughout the course of the disease. A cancer hospital in China specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, including that of the colon, to make sure patients are given the best possible quality of life in their condition.
A droga legal:
O cigarro é um dos produtos de consumo mais vendidos no mundo. Comanda legiões de compradores leais e tem um mercado em rápida expansão. Satisfeitíssimos, os fabricantes orgulham-se de ter lucros impressionantes, influência política e prestígio. O único problema é que seus melhores clientes morrem um a um.
A revista The Economist comenta: “Os cigarros estão entre os produtos de consumo mais lucrativos do mundo. São também os únicos produtos (legais) que, usados como manda o figurino, viciam a maioria dos consumidores e muitas vezes o matam.” Isso dá grandes lucros para a indústria do tabaco, mas enormes prejuízos para os clientes.
Segundo o Centro de Controle e Prevenção de Doenças, dos Estados Unidos, a vida dos fumantes americanos é reduzida, coletivamente, todo ano, em uns cinco milhões de anos ,cerca de um minuto de vida a menos para cada minuto gasto fumando.“ O fumo mata 420.000 americanos por ano”, diz a revista Newsweek. “Isso equivale a 50 vezes mais mortes do que as causadas pelas drogas ilegais”.
Contém:
Até setecentos aditivos químicos talvez entrem nos ingredientes utilizados na fabricação de cigarros, mas a lei permite que os fabricantes guardem a lista em segredo. No entanto, constam entre os ingredientes matais pesados, pesticidas e inseticidas. Alguns são tão tóxicos que é ilegal despejá-los em aterros. Aquela atraente espiral de fumaça está repleta de umas 4.000 substâncias, entre as quais acetona, arsênico, butano, monóxido de carbono e cianido. Os pulmões dos fumantes e de quem está perto ficam expostos a pelo menos 43 substâncias comprovadamente cancerígenas.
O que há por tras do cigarro:
No mundo todo, três milhões de pessoas por ano -seis por minuto- morem por causa do fumo, segundo o livro Mortality From Smoking in Developed Countries 1950-2000, publicado em conjunto pelo Fundo Imperial de Pesquisas do Câncer, da Grã-Bretanha, pela OMS(Organização mundial de Saúde) e pela Sociedade Americana do Câncer. Essa análise das tendências mundiais com relação ao fumo, a mais abrangente até a presente data, engloba 45 países. “Na maioria dos países”, adverte Richard Peto, do Fundo Imperial de Pesquisas do Câncer, “o pior ainda está por vir. Se persistirem os atuais padrões de tabagismo, quando os jovens fumantes de hoje chegarem à meia-idade ou à velhice, haverá cerca de 10 milhões de mortes por ano causadas pelo fumo - uma morte a cada três segundos.
O fumo e seus derivados fazem parte do grupo de drogas consideradas de alta periculosidade a saúde humana. Vidas são tragadas pelos malefícios do fumo a cada minuto. Entretanto o lucro gerado pelo fumo movimenta bilhões de dólares todos os anos. Milhares de horas de propaganda a favor do fumo são veiculadas nos meios de comunicação de massa toda semana buscando novos mercados consumidores. Se o fumo é um mal para uns, faz muito bem a outros tantos que usufruem do lucro gerado pelo fumo e seus derivados. A grande maioria entretanto, morre e adoece todos os dias. O fumo traz inúmeras despesas à nossa sociedade.

Yesterday my world turned upside down when my beautiful sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. All I can do is hope and pray that she will be ok. Always in my heart xxx
Long doctor's appointment, and while my health is good, the road of maintenance hit us hard today. We went for dinner tonight, and I sported the t-shirt my running buddy gave me when I finished radiation. I look forward to not being so tired someday, hopefully soon!
Whilst being given Docitaxol chemotherapy they sometimes put things on your feet and hands to make them cold. This helps stop your nails falling off a few months later.
