Well. In good news. Anobelle is getting a new bday out of this - which means… she also gets a bday party. She’s looking forward to burgers with her ridiculous medication.

@hankgreen I was very public - I wanted other young women to know and get checked out. 2 friends found lumps shortly after which were early stage BC and both successfully treated. I did purposely make my baldness awkward though by signing into a video meeting without telling anyone. lol

@hankgreen I felt isolated by illness. I still do. Best thing they did was turn up in the long term. I have one friend who sets his calendar to remind me I’m meant to be getting a test. It’s amazing. Also letting me know I can ask for help and trust them to be there when I actually ask.
