Me: My hips are crumbling and I'm aging out of competitive basketball 😭
Also Me: I guess I can play all 40 minutes of 3 consecutive men's league playoff basketball games this weekend.
Ball is Life. You can't replace ball, but there are replacement hips.

The thing about cancer is that it threatens your time on earth, which sucks... but to treat it and recover, it also takes a loooong time.
Which... sucks!

I took today as a 'mental health day'... except I'm self-employed, so I don't need to declare that.
Naturally, on my day off from growing a cancer patient advocacy non-profit and/or creating content about it, I've mostly just watched melanoma treatment conferences.

Trust is one of the most important things for cancer patients to establish in treatment. I have an awesome oncologist and support team, but I know that's not universal.
If you don't trust your oncologist fully, where do you go for supplemental advice?

I'm 2 months into remission from stage 4 cancer today.
This is the third time I can say that phrase; I'm getting pretty good at this whole 'beating' cancer thing.
I love documenting milestones like this for multiple reasons:
1) Stage 4 melanoma would have put me in the dirt many times... (1/2)

My body is like a temple.
Specifically, the Temple of Doom.
Luckily, I know where the boulders and spike pits are, and oncologists have the invocations we need to navigate them 🤷🏻♂️

As it turns out, a nervous tic of feeling the lymph nodes in your groin can be pretty funny in daily life. Sorry, mailman who probably did not know what I was doing while zoning out/standing on my porch post-workout 😂

I officially have a consultation for a Total Hip Replacement next week at UCLA. I will become more of a science project than I already am.
I just looked up the fastest mile time ever for someone with a THR, and it's 4:05. Maybe I'll focus on other records 😂

Is there an online resource for cancer patients that you can imagine but doesn't exist?
I'd want something like Tinder but for your diagnosis, demographic, location (whatever) - basically a way to match and talk with other survivors.

I've hit the inevitable depression after finishing cancer treatment.
This is the third time out of three chances it's happened, I've been warning myself and others about this phenomenon for years, and yet I'm still surprised.
I guess I'm a slow learner about cancer in general 😂
