Hope we can talk about the isolation of being up-staged over tie and the difference it can make in being excluded #bcsm
In 1998 when 1st dx’d with Stage 4 Breast Cancer, support group members were uncomfortable for me to be around in groups. Since then I’ve been active as an MBC advocate. Now that I’m in hospice & need support, backs are turned & some-or all-want me to go away. #bcsm
I’m meeting with a home care nurse tomorrow to evaluate me for in-home hospice. Anyone who has had this experience, do you have any tips? – at Laguna Niguel, CA

Well, to be honest, it did require a change in character
Because when my house was burning I made sure to get an estimate on the water damage before I called the fire department
Wasn’t sure I’d live long enough to see another birthday. But here we are - number 68! Looking like a trend. – at Laguna Niguel, CA
This is the third holiday season where i spent most of my time traveling from home to the Radiation Oncology center for treatment. At least this year I feel like I didn’t miss any family gatherings because there weren’t any. – at Laguna Niguel, CA
So today, my husband tripped and fell over a curb just outside the Radiation building while I was inside. It’s the exact spot another person fell last Thursday. Maybe a design change is in order? Or maybe my husband is just getting out of washing dishes tonight. – at Laguna Niguel, CA

Why are treatment tables so hard and uncomfortable? With a fractured spine from cancer and going through stereotactic radiosurgery for an hour (the computer needed a reboot) my blood pressure must have gone through the roof in pain. There has to be a better way – at Laguna Niguel, CA
Going all out for Christmas this year. I understand brown-box jubilee is this year’s “in” color for the holidays.

Have been buying gift cookies from @Etsy to support small businesses and to satisfy my need to look at beautiful baked goods. I can’t stay away from the holiday baking shows. – at Laguna Niguel, CA
Comment from a elderly man getting a flu shot in England on day one of release to the public:

Adele decided the next best thing to riding on a @SpaceX vehicle is to get up close to the TV screen #SpaceX #CatsOfTwitter
