So, not the news we were hoping for. Although the tumour has shrunk, the lil fecker is still wrapped around the arteries. Still sort of in limbo, but now talking about radiation therapy and then maybe surgery, but it’s a big maybe. I’m not giving up yet, but it’s getting tougher to stay positive

So, I have #pancreaticcancer. I’m on folfirinox chemotherapy, and my tumour has shrunk, but I still don’t know if I will be able to have a #Whipple procedure. Just wondering if there’s anyone here who’s been through it and would be ok to talk to me about it 💜

I’ve been on the Cotton Site because I think I was here a bit early on and was talking to myself. Sadly it’s becoming infected by trolls and bots, and certain left-leaning accounts keep getting quashed by meta, thanks to MAGAts reporting them.

I don’t really post on here because, well, no-one sees it, but I’d just like to say fuck this pancreatic cancer malarkey. It comes with a side order of type 3C diabetes, blood clots, delayed healing and several other unpleasantnesses. Two ED trips in two days.

Earlier today, enjoying a sandwich & a cuppa tea with my chemo. Staff at Mater Brisbane yesterday & staff at the Cancer Care Springfield today have been just great; kind & gentle, making 2 very stressful days much easier than I expected. Special thanks to Ninetta & all the oncology staff. You rock!❤️

Currently still pleasantly buzzing from IV midazolam and fentanyl for my portacath placement. Think I’m going to have some impressive bruising where the line goes under the skin! Wish I could have watched the procedure but they bury you under a sterile drape!

Tuesday was my last “normal” day. Went to the gym, lunched with my gym friends, received many hugs and encouragement. Tomorrow the portacath is fitted, then Thursday I start the 5FU chemo. I’m about to find out just how much it F’s U up! And FU to pancreatic cancer, ya bastard! #fuckcancer

So, I’ve been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which has also resulted in Type ll diabetes. I’ve had multiple blood tests, ultrasound, CT scan, PET scan, endoscopic biopsy and MRI. I will be (hopefully) having a very large risky and complex surgery done by some of the best surgeons in Brisbane.

Oh no. Mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney. After the shooting at Brown University, I’d seen several social media personalities congratulating Australia on not being like the USA since the port Arthur tragedy. They spoke too soon.

I’ve always loved and supported the BBC, I thought if both “wings” were accusing you of bias, you must be doing ok. It’s one of the things I missed about having to move back to Australia. But this forcing-out of @robinince.bsky.social has disappointed me so much. Badly done BBC, badly done!

This is my second event of the week. I'll be at the Byres Rd Book Festival with my friend and collaborator, Aisling Walsh. This one is sold out too but there's a waiting list you can join. Eventbrite events often sell out then folk don't always turn up on the night, so it's definitely worth doing

I’m an immigrant to Australia from Aotearoa and an Australian citizen . So are or were my family. We came here to work hard, build a life, contribute to society. We’re lucky we’re white English speakers. I feel so sad for all the other immigrants today. I’m ashamed of the xenophobia and racism today

I’m ashamed of what some racist bigoted arseholes are going to display as being “Australian” tomorrow. It’s straight out of Fartrage’s and tRump’s playbooks. Bunch of mouthbreathing uneducated white (mostly male) people saying it’s “their country” You’re immigrants too, fuckwits.
