As of today - November 15th, 2024, I will no longer be on this platform. I will not deactivate my account to ensure no one else can use my user name. You can find me on IG or BlueSky under the same user name.
This is an act of self-care as this platform has become far too toxic.
This 🧵is long but important.
I never understood death, what the body goes thru, & how much pain it's possible to feel until I was diagnosed w/ metastatic breast cancer, an incurable cancer.
I urge every person reading this to sign & share this letter to the Governor to support giving people the right to choose THIS option.
Even if this is something you would never choose, consider people like me who WILL die from cancer.
A cancer I’ve been trying to keep at bay for 12 years. I not there yet but realistically, I will be someday. I need to know I have an option my friends didn't have.

Thank you! @AmyPaulin & @bradhoylman 💙💙
BREAKING: The #MedicalAidinDying Act (S.138) has passed in the NY State Senate!
With this historic vote, New Yorkers may soon have access to the full suite of end-of-life care options they deserve. The bill now moves to @GovKathyHochul's desk to hopefully be signed into law!
Here is the correct link to the story…

We shouldn't have to suffer while dying.
As a Catholic myself, I WILL elect for this option when I run out of options.
MY God wouldn't want me to suffer and be in pain.
Time is running out to stop physician-assisted suicide in NY! Senate Bill 138 is on the brink of passing. This dangerous bill threatens vulnerable lives—patients, the elderly, and those with disabilities. Call your NYS Senator NOW and demand they vote NO! Phone calls are critical.

After 10 yrs of advocacy -this important legislation will finally become law in NYS.
I hope I never need it
HOWTHEFUCKEVER
Living w terminal cancer is HARD. I'm the one living with side effects & treatment, so when my options run out, I want this option so I can die peacefully
New Yorkers! Do NOT allow S.138-Hoylman-Sigal/A.136-Paulin to pass the NY Senate! It would reverse NY's historical ban on assisted suicide, and allow physicians to prescribe lethal does of medication to intentionally end a patient's life.
CONTACT YOUR NYS SENATOR, NOW!
TAKE ACTION: Assisted Suicide Is Still Suicide votervoice.net/Shares/BjWrJA…
Using that same logic, I would then qualify as well if I stopped treatment b/c I couldn't afford the $15K/month for ONE of my medications & wait for the cancer take over & I have 6 months to live.
It's NOT happening - insulin is WAY cheaper & there is financial help available
Terminal in the law is 6 months or less to live.
People with Metastatic Breast cancer, like me, try to call it "chronic" because some of us live longer than the median life span of 18-36 months
I was diagnosed Stage 4 from day one in 2013
I will eventually run out of options
Susan Rahn retweeted
Medical Aid in Dying is being brought to the Assembly floor today, where there surely will be lengthy debate before it ultimately passes
Leave YOUR religion out of my terminal illness.
When I run out of options to stay alive, I will die on MY terms and no one else. I have to endure the treatments, no one else.
Exclusive | State Assembly getting behind assisted suicide proposal….Mr. Heastie,another Democrat from NY, is proof positive evil is embraced. NOTHING HUMANE. Gods also gives all the same free will. “You” shall not bypass the judgment of Christ Himself. nypost.com/2025/04/22/us-new…
Dear @CarlHeastieNY

Today I started Verzenio & Anastrozole. March scans showed progression in my bones after being stable for almost 11 yrs.
Back to scans every three months.

The comments are so disgusting. I'm embarrassed that I live among these brainless idiots
A rally is taking place right now in Irondequoit to support Ukraine.
