Of Malady and Mortality: Five Books to Read When Your Spouse Is Diagnosed with Cancer
When my wife was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, I instinctively reached for books. Not medical tomes or statistical survival guides—though I eventually read those too—but books that could help me navigate the emotional wilderness of loving someone with a terminal diagnosis. These books became my companions during our four-year journey with cancer. They offered […]

Reading that treatment resistant depression might indicate personality disorders. Reading that bipolar depression isn’t real & it’s due to faulty thoughts & behaviours. Reading that we shouldn’t be on meds. Basically feeling like an absolute failure today.😢

When you have brain fog and can't think of a word, say, "I forget the English word for it.” that way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot.

New position statement on pain in the older person just dropped via ANZSGM. I particularly liked point 3. "3. The gold standard for pain assessment is self-report. A person reporting pain should be believed, even in the absence of demonstrable pathology likely to explain the pain." 🙌

yearly scans & labs clear - no cancer 10 years! I quietly quit all treatment 2 yrs ago. Couldn’t tolerate side effects (effucks). So I took a break for 3 months & by the end of that I decided to take an extended break. Which turned into quitting all treatment. 1/4

It might be EBM but until #qualitative research is done we don’t understand the how & why it’s so hard to implement. I hope the administrators & team leads listen!

Shared from Instagram with permission. It explains the purpose of occupational therapy & the meaning of occupational justice. ‘Occupation’ is all activities of daily life, not just paid employment.
A statement that “Access to meaningful occupation is not a privilege, but a fundamental human right” in black writing on a cream background.

Patients can volunteer at their cancer center. Start a group online or in person. Write a guest blog. Simply speak with another patient one on one. Or, they might keep to themselves and donate to a cause! What’s important is there is no “right” way to advocate. #Cansky #Oncsky #Advocacy

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father. Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

A politically highly significant paper has just been published by Nick Higgins here in Cambridge, who’s been researching cranial blood flow in ME patients as well as others. It lays out his belief that the blood flow irregularities are much commoner than the medical establishment recognises./

I have a recurrent dream where I live in a home where I open doors. Every time I open a door I see a new suite or room. Then another & so on to infinity. Then downstairs there’s a long hall to a stage, dance floor & cocktail tables. No one is there. Anyone wanna posit interpretation?

Good morning, Blue Sky. Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people. Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead. Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just. Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

This can be a touchy subject in the cancer community but the biggest decider for me was the possibility the battle analogy presents that someone could have won if they’d only fought harder. Nope. Just…nope. #CancerBS #cansky
