The last toast by the legend herself: I leave it up to you to go to lindken.com and look up Jennell Jacques, now look at her job description, goddess of technology… and fuck cancer, fuck it in the ass - Becky

Due to chemotherapy, my blood platelets are way down which means I have to have oxygen to breathe, I’m immunocompromised and almost totally helpless until my blood platelets come back up. This really sucks.

I had a really nice long conversation with my oncologist. After a review of all my medications for pain relief, it was not effective. So a new prescription regimen was devised and I’ve been on the new medication for 6 hours and I feel calm and mostly pain free. I’m hoping

I had chemotherapy October 16th. It took until now before my hair started falling out in major clumps. I should be bald in less than a week

Home sweet home. I’m on home oxygen. And once again my back pain has returned with a vengeance. At the hospital, I was on so great painkillers that made me almost forget how much pain I’m in. Thursday, at 8:45am, I go in for chemo. Let’s hope this is the start of my recovery.

I was supposed to go home from the hospital today after getting my chemo port Friday. Sadly, when I sleep my blood oxygen drops too low so I’m looking getting sent home with oxygen tomorrow

I’m back at the hospital so I can get my chemo port put in tomorrow. They gave me pain killers that for the first time in over a week, I have no pain. Looking forward to a good night’s sleep.

I sleep about 20 hours a day. When I’m awake, I’m in pain, mostly back pain. This really sucks

Sigh. I got the results from the cat scan yesterday. My right lung has a membrane that's normally the thickness of plastic wrap. It's current 1cm to 2cm thick. That's the tumor. I’ll be setting up a gofundme to help with my medical bills

They still can’t find the source of my cancer. I’ll be undergoing numerous tests in the coming days. It was confirmed it has metastasized, so that’s depressing.

I’m finally in my home office. While I’m still making Becky Juice and coughing up a lung, being able to sit at my desk allows me to reclaim my “normal” #cancer

They drained my lung cavity of 20ml Becky Juice today, and it seems I’m no longer leaking large amounts of fluid. This is progress. I was leaking 150ml a day, now it’s a trickle.

I can’t handle any more loss. My favorite cat, Rascal, started convulsing and died in my lap. He loved eating fresh roasted chicken and the patties from my hamburgers.

Well, it’s cancer. But not liver cancer. They suspect colon cancer that spread to the liver, but more tests are coming down the line

They found something in the liver biopsy. They are staining samples to confirm their suspicions. I hope to know by tomorrow

Shoot! I’m back in the Emergency Room again. Seems I filled up with fluid under my right lung. No where as bad as before, but enough for my doctor to send me to ER for drainage.

TL;DR. I have two masses on my liver. One 5.3cm and the other 1.7cm in diameter. I had 2300ml of fluid in my abdomen that kept me from breathing (drained out now) and there are tiny nodules in my right lung. Test results next Monday, then my doctors and I declare war.

Hilarious! My nurse was having to use an AI assistant to call other departments. The AI kept getting it so wrong, I thought I was watching a Family Guy skit. I wonder how much work time is lost fighting AI assistants. Nurse: “Call radiology” AI:“Calling pediatrics”
