Cancer recovery update- I’m back to work. It’s been extremely extremely rough. Not throwing up in the bathroom level rough, but def crying in the bathroom rough.
In a lot of pain and completely exhausted. I’ve been trying to maintain my walks, and I do feel better when I’m done with a walk- but I have a picture of me on my walk after the worst day at work-
And I look ghastly. I gasped when I saw the picture- I look like sponge bob when he’s dried up.
After I saw that pic, I was like, ok, time to back up and listen to my body and self. So I’ve skipped the walk since then and will keep them to the weekend for now, I think.
I saw a book written by a cancer survivor today- and it made me SO angry. He advertises the book as ‘how to heal from cancer naturally’ and goes on and on about how he prayed and completely changed his diet and cured his cancer- only to read more closely and find out he had surgery.
Oh he had color cancer, too. And surgery to remove the cancer is actually the gold star treatment for colon cancer.
May 10, 2025 00:50So he ‘cured himself’ by getting gold star treatment and then changing his diet and physical activity. Which is, again, part of treatment plan for colon cancer recovery. It’s what I’ve been told to do by my cancer team, lol.
But now this person is gonna have people thinking they can cure their cancer by eating better and going on a walk.
And that makes me want to hit things.
