At last an advert with a more realistic portrayal of cancer patients, thank you @breastcancernow.bsky.social Yes, we do feel awful, stressed, scared, anxious. Yes we might pretend we are okay, but we're not. #CanSky #OncoSky #MakeCancerLessShitty

THIS! Oral mucositis is often overlooked and definitely under-addressed. Education about WHAT it is and HOW to alleviate would definitely help to #MakeCancerLessShitty

👕 Headed to ASCO? Come find me if you want a #MakeCancerLessShitty t-shirt! They’re soft, expressive, and mildly therapeutic. Like a hug… but with attitude. Limited supply—like everyone’s emotional bandwidth 💩 #ASCO2025 #SuppOnc #SurvOnc #CancerHumor #OncoSwag @cancersuckless.bsky.social

We ♥️ meeting new people who are doing amazing things to #MakeCancerLessShitty & we met plenty of fabulous humans at #ONS25 last week! We shared stories, chatted about impacts of side effects & discussed the need to improve access to quality supportive care! Looking forward to #AACR25 & #ASCO25 too!

Sure I’m happy and thankful. But cancer causes you to lose trust in your body. It takes that away from you, and you spend so much time getting it back. #Cansky

Today is Oral Mucositis (OM) Awareness Day. OM is an often unseen but painful side effect of cancer treatment where large patches of sores appear all over the mouth & sometimes throat. Current #SuppOnc often fails to meet patient needs We need to #MakeCancerLessShitty #MoreThanASore #OMAD25 #CanSky

Side effects and long-term effects of cancer treatment have long been minimized for those surviving cancer! The phrase "manageable & tolerable" is misleading. Just because a side effect doesn't land us in the hospital doesn't mean it's tolerable. #MakeCancerLessShitty #SurvOnc #SuppOnc #PallOnc

THIS. There are the side effects that happen during treatment and then there are the side effects that "just keep on giving" 😑 We need to #MakeCancerLessShitty by improving the access to supportive care during treatment AND post-treatment survivorship support. #SuppOnc #SurvOnc #CanSky #OncSky

Managing 13 pills daily, plus as-needed meds, can be overwhelming. I number each bottle’s lid and mark as-needed ones with a ring for clarity! How do you manage your meds? Share your tips! 💊✨ #makecancerlessshitty #ChronicIllnessLife #PillBoxOrganization

How often should you poo?
The ideal poo is a 'type 3' or 'type 4' – cracked or smooth sausage – delivered once per day.

@cancersuckless.bsky.social helps us acknowledge the reality of treatment an cancer care together we and others can help put a focus on mental health especially PTSD that comes with cancer and treatments and living with cancer so that nobody has to think living with PTSD from cancer is acceptable

Omg this. My oncologist has his whole office decorated like a tiki bar. The doorways to the back and the lab have beaded curtains. The colors are wild. There are flying turtles, porpoises, and mermaids on the walls. It’s nuts & amazing and it makes me giggle every time I go to my appt.
