Cancer is a real bitch. While I have an amazing support system whose love continues to lift me up during my darkest moments, the fact remains. My cancer continues to be a fucking asshole.
Unfortunately, at this time my cancer has out smarted many of the available treatments and has progressed. It is certainly a good feeling knowing you all care so much but keeping everyone updated on my shitty cancer journey is exhausting for me and my family.
Things to know: 1. Metastatic Breast Cancer is not curable. So please don’t tell me I will beat this. I won’t. What we can hope is that I can continue to treat my symptoms and that treatments will keep the cancer from spreading, giving me more precious time with the people I love.
2. While I am using this to keep my friends and family updated, I love to write. The thoughts I share here are my form of therapy. Swearing is therapeutic for me. Plus, what else can I say about having terminal cancer other than “it fucking sucks”!
So, here we are. Meg has fucking cancer. Stay tuned for our next episode.
