First day of surgeon-approved ‘running’ on my new hip. Six weeks ago, they sawed my femur in half to perform the surgery. Pretty nuts. Also strange to get used to. Vamos a ver 🤷🏻‍♂️ #thankscancer #newhip #hipreplacement #runner

Your habits weren't perfect before cancer, and they certainly aren't going to be after treatment. Eat a cookie every now and then. It won't catalyze cancer to recur. Stressing over every decision might. (This is mostly directed at myself 😂) #thankscancer #oncosky #mentalhealth #cancerawareness

The thing about cancer is that it threatens your time on earth, which sucks... but to treat it and recover, it also takes a loooong time. Which... sucks! #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #fuckcancer #cansky

I took today as a 'mental health day'... except I'm self-employed, so I don't need to declare that. Naturally, on my day off from growing a cancer patient advocacy non-profit and/or creating content about it, I've mostly just watched melanoma treatment conferences. #thankscancer #melanoma #cansky

Mike Linn @mike-linn.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Trust is one of the most important things for cancer patients to establish in treatment. I have an awesome oncologist and support team, but I know that's not universal. If you don't trust your oncologist fully, where do you go for supplemental advice? #thankscancer #oncosky #cansky #fuckcancer

I'm 2 months into remission from stage 4 cancer today. This is the third time I can say that phrase; I'm getting pretty good at this whole 'beating' cancer thing. I love documenting milestones like this for multiple reasons: 1) Stage 4 melanoma would have put me in the dirt many times... (1/2)

My body is like a temple. Specifically, the Temple of Doom. Luckily, I know where the boulders and spike pits are, and oncologists have the invocations we need to navigate them 🤷🏻‍♂️ #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #fuckcancer #cansky #oncosky

Is there an online resource for cancer patients that you can imagine but doesn't exist? I'd want something like Tinder but for your diagnosis, demographic, location (whatever) - basically a way to match and talk with other survivors. You? #thankscancer #melanoma #oncosky #mentalhealth #fuckcancer

I've hit the inevitable depression after finishing cancer treatment. This is the third time out of three chances it's happened, I've been warning myself and others about this phenomenon for years, and yet I'm still surprised. I guess I'm a slow learner about cancer in general 😂 (🧵⬇️)

You know you’re a little too comfortable at your oncologist’s office when you order your own labs and literally put your feet up. Mostly showing off my cancer-free toes 😬 #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #fuckcancer #cansky #oncosky

Diagnosed with a stage 4 recurrence 1 year ago today. In the best shape of my 30’s after 3 diagnoses in 7 years. 18 days left of treatment and I’m playing pro hoops in Costa Rica. Wild times. Lucky times. Hopefully it gets better for all of us. That’s why I share. #thankscancer #cansky #melanoma
