meara, it's an odd flex, but: metastatic de novo, stage IVb, cTX, cN1, cM1b, PSA = 11201.7
Not a record-breaker, but still pretty unusual.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Great news, dcp!
I tested negative on Wednesday, and went back to work yesterday. Whee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is great news, dcp!
Congrats, meara!
I'm sure I had other things, but I forget. TGIF, man.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Many wishes for continued good numbers and great happiness, dcp. I'm so very glad you're here.

Our wings are not tired.
I am proud to continue to push the survival stats higher.
Well done! My sister had a part of her lung removed over 25 years ago and is down to yearly tests and scans now, but it still brings anxiety every time she has a test. No changes results are celebrated every time.

Thrive to spite them
Next Wednesday I can finally start adding foods back from this elimination diet and I'm so glad
I swear I've been more spacy and forgetful since I've been on it. But it's probably from all the stuff I'm depriving myself. I know I went on the extreme end of this because my stomach kept hurting and I got conflicting info from different sources.
It seems to be working so I just have to figure out the problem foods. And I have an endoscopy on June 24th.
My birthday is the 16th so I'm hoping I'll at least have figured out if dairy is an issue or gluten so I can have some kind of treat to celebrate.

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home
Woohoo, dcp!
I'm attending the SFWA Nebula Conference online this weekend, and it's serving as a sort of useful kick in the pants for making me think whether I still really want to be a writer (yes) and what I need to do to make that an active reality again (go back to treating writing as a side hustle like I used to before the Great Burnout of 2015-16, only with more self-care to prevent repeat burnout, and find a new critique group so I can share my work with people regularly because a big and needed part of my motivation is to feel like I'm telling a story TO somebody).
