Yesterday was good until last night. A friend of mine who just got married and bought a house posted all of these super happy things and I am definitely happy for her. But I was definitely overc...


June is one of my favorite months. When I was a kid, obviously, it was all about summer vacation. But as an adult I can still appreciate it. The weathers nice, it’s usually not completely disgus...

tonight I'm sad

it’s been four weeks to the day since I was diagnosed and I gotta say, this has been without question, the WEIRDEST month of my entire life. I’ve experienced every emotion that ever existed, I’v...

Insane in the brain

I have to have an MRI today of my brain, they think I might have a tumor on my pituitary gland? (Hence the elevated prolactin levels) They said it’s most likely benign, so that’s a silver lining...


Can’t wait to get the night sweats tonight 🥴😒 It’s almost 9pm here in Jersey. I’m sitting on the front porch smoking a joint and it’s 85 degrees out. I know we’ll have the air on tonight, but l...

Freeze and reboot

Emotionally, today has been the hardest day so far. I don’t know why. This morning I actually thought I’d get through the day without a breakdown. How naive I was. Getting through the day reall...

Unhinged

Jesus Christ I feel fucking crazy. Like actually fucking bipolar. I’ve never experienced feeling every single emotion that ever existed all in one day. Part of me feels stupid for even crying- t...

shell shocked

I think that’s the only way I can accurately sum up everything I’m feeling. I’ll be honest, it doesn’t feel real just yet. And one thing I’m noticing? There’s no small emotion when it comes to t...


At least for now, because I saw one of my pathology reports had come back and evidently I do have breast cancer-years ago I actually worked for the Abramson Cancer center at Penn, I know how to ...

so here we are

So.... Apparently there’s a good chance I have breast cancer. 70%, according to my doctor. Even now, ten minutes later sitting here looking up at the words it doesn’t seem real. I’ve known ab...


Book Description

I was diagnosed with stage 2A IDC ER+HER2- cancer of the right breast on May 1, 2026. This is my attempt to document and navigate this whole experience- the good, the bad, the ugly and the honest.

Obviously this wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026, but only because it’s 2026 and no one actually fucking plays bingo anymore.
