The C-Word
I was diagnosed with cancer in March of 2024. It’s been quite the experience, and I have a head full of thoughts about it. This is a place for me to tell the story, to keep it straight for myself, and to help others understand a little better what it’s like. We’ll start with an archive of Facebook posts I made in the beginning, and the story proceeds from there.

Radiation treatment 30 of 30 done. They're over. I took home the mask they used to hold me still on the table. There's a little gong in the hallway you can hit to celebrate on your way out. I hit it with the mask.

Today I had radiation treatment 25 of 30. This time next week, I'll be done with them. I won't be sad to end the treatments themselves, but I will miss the people involved.
