Some good news!

5 yr survival rates for some hard to treat cancers have increased.

Liver cancer, with a 7% relative survival rate in the 1990s rose to 22%

Lung cancer- 15% to 28%

Myeloma- 32% to 62%

This is in part due to early detection & better treatment.

How 5-year Relative Cancer Survival Rates (%) Changed from 1975 to 2021 Relative survival is a measure of life expectancy among people with cancer compared to that among the general population of the same age, race/ethnicity, and sex. This table shows how the 5-year relative survival rate (%) changed for 12 common cancer types all stages combined over three diagnosis periods. All survival rates improved over time except for cancer of the uterine cervix (cervical cancer) and uterine corpus (endometrial cancer). Source: Cancer Statistics 2026 Slideshow

i am also the target of a lot of subjective fear, because of my diagnosis of bipolar/psychosis. i recognize that this fear is coming from a real place, and can feel INTENSE. but at the same time, i NEED people to stand up for me and my rights despite that unease, that discomfort. i NEED it

Y'all my cackle sistah and I were rotfl b/c yet again psych's are prescribing anti depressants to Gen X late diagnosis female ADHD'ers. We're like WHEN WILL they finally get it right rather than the classic textbook on us? We both said 2 weeks at the same time. They never work on us. Truly.

After 9yrs+ in therapy having an OSDD diagnosis is liberating. Those 9yrs+ juggling therapists who constantly switched labeling me as BPD or Schizoaffective was annoying cause the entire time I knew they were wrong but didn't know what DPDR was till like last year and pursued it. #PluralSky

A flatlay of the romance novel The Stairs Between Us by Elizabeth Barone. White and pink baby’s breath, rose, and peony flowers surround a paperback on a worn hardwood floor. To the left of the paperback is a glass teapot full of fairy lights. The cover of the book depicts a young man and woman nearly kissing. The Stairs Between Us: It took everything for single mom Noah to leave her husband and his dirty mistress: surgery. One year later, the pressure of raising their son and building her own career is making her wonder if she made a mistake. It doesn’t help that every time she sees her ex Levi, his presence alone brings all those old feelings rushing back, for better and worse. She can’t ever let herself wonder if she made a mistake, because she can’t ever let Levi hurt her again—or their son. Levi saves other people’s children every day, but he couldn’t save his marriage. Noah left him alone with an empty house and a hole in his heart, with only surgery to keep him going. In a desperate attempt to anesthetize some of the pain he’s in, he decides to sell the home they used to share. What he really needs is his family back, though, so when the apartment upstairs from Noah becomes available, he seizes the opportunity to fix things. He’ll show her that he can be a present father to their son, and that he’s finally ready to be the husband she deserves. There will always be an emergency taking him away from his family, though. Guilt plays tug-o-war with his heart while Noah strengthens the walls around hers, and he’s running out of time to convince her that what they had is worth fighting for. Small town romance, second chance romance. Ebook and paperback editions available everywhere books are sold. A flatlay of the YA novel Sade on the Wall, by Elizabeth Barone. A paperback copy is surrounded by burgundy, pale pink, and white peony, rose, and baby’s breath flowers. The book lies on a worn hardwood floor next to a glass teapot filled with fairy lights. The cover depicts a teen girl hugging herself, with rave lights and smoke in the foreground. Sade on the Wall: Save her friendship, or save her best friend’s life? Sade and Jackie have been best friends from the moment Jackie moved onto Campbell Street, but a dangerous secret is driving a rift between them that will cost more than their friendship. Naive and sheltered Sade has always played by the rules, but she soon finds herself breaking all of them to cover for Jackie’s addiction. She’s never lied to either of her moms before, yet the lies come more and more easily, burying her own truth. Outside of Jackie’s keeper, who is she? Caught between Jackie’s web of self-destruction and the best friends’ code of secrecy, Sade must choose between saving her friendship, or saving her best friend’s life. Sade on the Wall is a raw coming of age story filled with suspense, heartache, and prevailing hope. Young adult, suspense, tragedy. A flatlay of the FF romance novel Any Other Love, by Elizabeth Barone. Pale pink and burgundy roses and white baby’s breath surround a paperback copy of the sapphic romance. Beside the book is a glass teapot full of fairy lights. The book cover is soft with white and pale pink, depicting a brunette darker skinned Latina nearly kissing a blonde very light skinned woman. Any Other Love: From the outside, Amarie has it all: a promising teaching career, a big group of friends, and a gorgeous boyfriend. On the inside, though, her immune system is attacking her own body and slowly taking away everything she loves. The specialists she's seen are baffled by her condition, so Amarie takes matters into her own hands and makes an appointment with a renowned rheumatologist in NYC. She could finally get the diagnosis and treatment she needs to live her life—if only she can get there. Charlotte may dye her hair bold colors, but she's never been brave enough to chase her lifelong dream of owning her own restaurant. When she finds out about a restauranteur convention in NYC, she's way too chicken to go for it—until her best friend signs her up. With no excuses left. Char heads out to the city, taking the girl of her dreams with her. Five nights under the city lights could give Amarie and Char the happily-ever-after they’ve always wanted, but a devastating diagnosis and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could send it all crashing down. FF romance, small town romance. Only one bed, friends to lovers, chronic illness, own voices.

How many more people have to die so men like him can keep learning this lesson over and over again? Heritage obviously did quite well with whoever replaced him. We need to create structures that make his initial sociopathy irrelevant.
Mike and his wife, Kate, were both 36 when their daughter Blair was diagnosed with a rare and fast-growing brain tumor called ETMR. She was just shy of three. She died eight months later. A month into chemotherapy, the Henrys were presented with a choice so brutal that their oncologist, a veteran with decades of experience, cried as she explained it. "She told us it was a fork in the road," Mike said. "Either we could handcuff Blair to this bed, pin her down to give her shots that made her sick, until she passed away in hospital... or we could spend the next few months with her at home, doing things she loved. We knew that if we decided to take her home, she would die." Ten days before her third birthday, they chose home. Mike Henry used to work in public policy. That old life now gives him pause. In 2013-14 he was employed by Heritage Action, the political arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation that would, a decade later, go on to draft Project 2025. A decade is a long time in conservative politics. Henry was at Heritage a year before Trump descended the golden staircase, and well before he had remodeled the Republican party in his image. Heritage was not as extreme then as it is today. Still, Henry looks back on how he used to lobby for fiscal responsibility and smaller government, and ponders. Since Blair became sick, the way he perceives the role of government and the importance of caring for one another has changed drastically. He knows now what he did not know then: that, in an instant, any one of us can be toppled from our lives and plummet to the depths. "We had a great family, stable jobs, two wonderful children. We lost all of our savings in the first two weeks after the diagnosis. We were thrust on Medicaid, unemployment, then we lost Blair."

“”He racked the slide and pulled a trigger a second time," she said. "A gun does not cock itself. He murdered Austin."

But prosecutor Stewart Stone questioned the diagnosis, opining that Lawson was mentally healthy enough to be hired by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.”

Every media outlet claiming Jonathan Ross had internal bleeding "of the torso" must confirm the facts - the name of the physician who treated him, date and time of "hospitalization", tests ran, diagnosis and the prognosis. To simply state this as fact is a betrayal of the public.
Don't fall for supposed 'hospital photo' of ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good
The photo came from a viral Twitter post in 2016.

Per doctors
The term they used in the press release makes no medical sense and is not a valid diagnosis.

If it were real he'd be dead by the time they "Discovered it"
(In some states he should be dead though I do not support the death penalty like I.C.E. and Trump do)

On Schär.

'He had a successful surgery, which is great news. Everything went according to plan. I think it's difficult to give a definitive [timeline], but around three months out will be the diagnosis. If it's any quicker, then great, but we need to give Fabian time to recover.'

PNH symptoms can vary and change over time: severe fatigue, shortness of breath, dark urine, pain, headaches, brain fog and blood clots—often appearing long before diagnosis. Tracking symptoms helps care!

I’ve never gotten a proper diagnosis, but everyone in my life is pretty sure.
Also it’s mainly a reservoir of memories. I’m not going to remember my childhood forever, but I might be able to recall the time I wrote about my childhood. Time is running out

I used to work in vet internal med. I think the most likely thing that’s going on is bronchial airway collapse. That’s what it sounds like. With this scope we can get a diagnosis for the best meds to use. I just want him to feel better so he can enjoy his remaining time! ❤️

He is awesome. I saw him after my second diagnosis and he was great. I didn't cry last time but he should expect tears this time.

I’m forty and likely on the spectrum. It’s hard to test as I am a special education teacher so I know the questions/answers for screening.

I do have an ADHD diagnosis and if I am not asleep before 11 I cannot sleep until like 3. Sucks most of the time. Helped for Ashes though.

@iwriteok.bsky.social the first trip was because I got two words wrong during my ritual speech in Raleigh the first time. The second time was because I was actively a conduit for God's message along with a bipolar diagnosis in a state of psychotic mania, which i believe was part of it.

Yep, 1st episode Oct 2024, urgent care gave definite BPPV diagnosis. Tech did the test, turned my head & instant psychedelic room spinning, lol.

It can take a long time to resolve. 2024 was similar, ~ 8 days.

I'm probably 80-85% good now, just not enough for garden work 2/ lots of head motion.

The American Cancer Society announced the 5-year survival rate has hit an all-time high of 70%. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are still key for successful outcomes.
Cancer Survival Rate at 70%
An American Cancer Society study found the 5-year survival rate of all cancers combined has reached an all-time high of 70%. Some cancers still have lower survival rates. Early diagnosis and proper treatment greatly increase positive outcomes.
