@alice@lgbtqia.space Before I opened the post I guessed "leap off the counter' was code for 'I ate it before I could give it to Mom' 😀
What kind? Looks like chocolate cake and meringue of some sort?

@evacide@hachyderm.io Another small win, I might be behind in my reading though..

Do you have to do this each this each time you power up? Any nags weeks later?

This: And think about them for longer than a TikTok video.
And it is OK to read the same book again because you are older, wiser, more open to ideas, whatever, and might learn something new. The number of times I have pulled a book of the shelf, re-read it, and thought "Huh, they changed some of the words." is significant. Spoiler alert - the book has been sitting on my shelf for a decade, the only thing that changed is me.

First things first - #FuckCancer
Second - Lots of your post was familiar
Third - Two suggestions I wish I had heard early on - 1/get your tumor(s) biopsied if you go in for surgery. 2/get a ctDNA (circulating DNA), blood test done immediately. Both will tell you if you have any tumor mutations or 'results of unknown significance' (a mutation they are not tracking yet). I have both. This would have altered my approach to my CRC and armed my docs with a lot more info. Then after treatment continue to get ctDNA tests done for a couple years to make sure you really-really got the disease. They are cheap to do and most insurance covers them these days (not so much in 2020 when I was dx-ed for CRC).
Happy to share more on my journey and learnings if you are interested.
