I've told just about everyone I want to tell about this thing, but there's still some people I want to tell but haven't managed to get a hold of yet and I can feel myself running out of steam for this. Blah. I'm so pleased that other people have been able to step up and pass on the message to a wider group so I don't have to tell everyone in person.

In good news, I've got an appointment with the oncology people on Thursday, which is goood. We were told it could be 1-2 weeks, so just under a week is really great.

Mum has a bunch of questions she wants to ask the doctor, and she wants to get pictures of my scans, which I think is fair enough.

They've given me pills for nausea, but I'm seeing if having peppermint or ginger tea helps instead, not because I don't think the pills won't help but because as much as possible I want to see if diet and health stuff can make changes as well. I've looked up diet stuff to support my colon and my liver and I'm hoping I can make good diet changes.
Like, it feels kind of dumb but also-- where's the harm in trying to help my organs be healthy, right? idk.

I wish I had an rp drive right now. I was so excited to app into Meadowlark with Thor, and I feel bad because now I have z e r o motivation. Even with Deer I'm super unmotivated, but I'm going to wait until I have an update from Thursday about what the future will look like a little more before making any decisions about that.

So this is a post I've got up for chatting about what's up medically.

Long story short, I have inoperable colon cancer that has spread to the liver and other places, and it's going to be a matter of seeing if chemo can give me a while longer or not.

The reason I'm talking about it here is that I'd prefer to keep it off of plurk for now, because I use plurk on my phone and I'm sensitive to being "ambushed" by talk about this when I'm not in the space for it. I'm doing the same irl, making sure that only people who have my phone number who I want to talk about it know just now. So, please don't send me private PMs on plurk. Send me DMs to this account, or just comment because I've screened comments on this particular post and it'll be private.

I'll talk about how i got here and how I'm doing below, but I wanted to put things down here just to be clear.
