Tbh, don't know the difference between cancer free and radiographically cancer free but I know it is really good news. Oncologist said it means even though I'm stage 4, right now scans aren't showing much for cancer and immunotherapy is working way better than expected 💪💪

Rocking the signed Woodruff jersey at cancer treatment today. It was a hit with all the nurses, they asked to do the selfie not me!! The @Brewers are 6 and 0 in games I went to this year, including the div clincher, so should I go to game 1 of the NLDS BrewCrew nation?! 😂😃

In a year of lifetime auroras, northwest Wisconsin showed out again yesterday. In the morning, pink auroras so strong the pink could be seen by eye not just on camera, even through sun rise and the moon. That night, auroras so red they shined through cloud cover. Bonkers!!

Cheers to all the doctors who have told me the past year that due to my cancer battle, I would never play hockey again. No offense but y'all were wrong, I'm exhausted but it sure felt good to play today. Last scan was clean when told I had a year to live, moral is, I don't do no.

Test is negative, I've officially beat covid because I'm a bad mofo and covid is weak sauce. Going home to western Wisconsin tomorrow. Now I can get back to beating cancer hopefully 🙏 still dealing cancer pain and fatigue but covid symptoms have been done for two days.

Cancer treatment day today and I am feeling it physically and mentally. Storm chasing lately has been a nice relief but that's only temporary. So, don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a few days maybe a week. Take care of yourselves. Go Brewers.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Scans after treatment said I am still cancer free til at least the next scan. Happy about that. But my mental/physical health battles and survivors guilt from others around me dying of cancer have me incredibly broken at the moment.

I know I've been quiet the past week. Life is bad and I'm not okay. The physical and emotional pain are too much, I don't want to do it anymore. Anyways just checking in and now I'm going to go dose myself to the eye balls on pain meds. Go Brewers I guess.

Cancer treatment went poorly. Currently in ER to have my head scanned due to neurologists issues. Docs have mentioned anything from brain bleed to stroke, don't think it's that serious but guess we'll see what scans say. Fun day 😔

Immunotherapy and physical therapy means a rough day. But, at least I got to watch my beloved @Brewers get a WIN while doing treatment!! Brewers baseball is the best medicine ⚾💪

Pink to the eye corona overhead and pillars in all directions. Oh my God. This just might beat the three auroras from last year. This overhead corona is for sure better. This is insane. More cell phone of my Canon shots for now. Bloomer, Wisconsin. This is unreal!!

Doing my best to get back to everyone, but I can't keep up. Have gotten 1700+ notifications since my tweet y'day about the clean cancer scan. Truly humbled. I don't have the words to express what it means to me, so I won't even try but thanks to my twitter family. Yall are MVP's

Cancer treatment day. Scan was kind of a bummer as a nodule has formed on my lung that is worrisome for being metastic. Gonna give it two more months of immunotherapy to see if it stays stable or not, gonna try to not think about that until next cycle, and go Brew Crew!!

Thought nothing could be worse than aggressive chemo. Physical therapy might be worse. If I can regain the use of my neck and other muscles without pain it'll be worth it I'm sure, but the first few days of deep tissue massage are torture. So much pain 😔 I want to quit so bad.

Fall colors starting to show up a couple days ago at the Dells Mill near Augusta, Wisconsin. Nice little drive to break out the camera.

Thank you all for the love I'm blown away. Unfortunately I'm in bad shape and probably not leaving the hospital anytime soon. My kidney numbers are bad and I have fluid in my lungs. I'm still not really sure what going on but I know it's bad and I'm scared 😭😭

Just arrived at the hospital. Can't breathe and just generally not feeling well. Not sure if it's related to my cancer or what but docs are worried and I'm being admitted. I'm nervous 🤷😭

Health update: turns out my decline in health wasn't my cancer, my thyroid numbers went through the roof again. They upped my dose of thyroxine, and while it'll take a while to feel as good as I was, I've already noticed improvement in two days. I can get out of bed a little bit.
