1/ So now that the people who needed to know have been properly informed, I'd like to share some of it with you.

I have cancer

It's actually why I've been so short tempered about being dragged into conflicts in here.

2/ I've been trying to process it, during my recovery (which has nothing to do with the cancer itself).

Amazing enough though, I'm more scared of the bills than I am about the cancer. So I was even thinking of putting off treatments.

A friend helped me get out of that.

3/ This journey actually started 3 years ago, but doctors were a bit dismissive due to my young age.

I try not to dwell on it, since back then I was stage zero, and now I'm stage IA1.

This means I can try some treatments before removing organs, with risk of recurrence.

4/ I'm the type of person who's so used to having to do everything on her own from a young age, that I basically decided to deal with it.
So I kept doing everything the same way I always do, but now I think the emotional aspect of it is hitting.

That's 2020 for you huh.

5/ Not really sure how any of it is going to go, but I'm at least grateful for modern medicine... as incredibly expensive as it can be. I was told that if it goes down to major stuff that insurance won't cover, I could be allow to pull from my life insurance.

Wish me luck

6/6 Not sure what else to say to be honest, I'm just trying to keep positive (which isn't my wheelhouse at all) and do what I gotta do (which is totally my wheelhouse).

We'll see how the journey goes

I was planning on staying completely quiet and just mention the surgeries, but honestly...

I'm glad I listened to my friend and talked here, it feels less lonely reading all of this kindness.

For whatever it's worth, thank you.

Now everybody combine all this positivity and aim it at the skies, so they clear and I can see the Moon

Seriously it's been too long.

I tried to check all your replies, but I'm not even close and I haven't even opened the DMs.

Just letting you all know that:
Yes, I am seeing them
Yes, it does matter and I appreciate it.
Today the Moon is beautiful, so check it
