Leigh Kunkel @leighkunkel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I have 12 more chemo sessions over 20 weeks. I’m thinking of making a little advent calendar — basically a small treat every time I finish an infusion, maybe with a couple of bigger ones toward the end when it’s really fucking hard. Any suggestions? 4300
