@cancersuckless.bsky.social helps us acknowledge the reality of treatment an cancer care together we and others can help put a focus on mental health especially PTSD that comes with cancer and treatments and living with cancer so that nobody has to think living with PTSD from cancer is acceptable

it's anxiety mood swings insomnia detachment isolation flashbacks and horrible nightmares

Mental health needs to be a higher priority from the start but especially as the time goes by and months and years after diagnosis even if your not on treatment or cured, PTSD can still impact you greatly

and military people are the ones that deal with so much it took me a long time to begin to understand that my traumatic events through cancer are legitimate reason to suffer PTSD.

PTSD is different for everyone so I'm not going sit here and describe everything but for me

PTSD is one of the most complicated and hardest things I've had to deal with in my cancer journey for so many different reasons.

Its hard for me at times to talk about because in my mind i shouldn't be complaining or even saying I suffer with this when first responders surgeons police firefighters

Still crazy that 4 years ago I was mentioned and shown on @fallontonight.bsky.social for being #thegoatofchemotherapy. But Jimmy Fallon back then it was just 93, yesterday I hit my 162ed round, if ever needed a guest to come talk about cancer and colorectal awareness and prevention I'm your guy

Chemo round 159 completed. Now to recover and get through the side effects and hell that chemo brings

Tough days require tough people but the strongest and toughest usually don't get noticed. I see you

I know it's not easy being my friend or family or someone who cares about me. Cancer is a lot and I know I bring a lot of heavy emotions and baggage but a few people in my life have reminded me what caring and being there not for the issue or event but for the person really is.

Thankful for you
