Today is the fourth anniversary of the surgery I needed for colon cancer. I have a year and a few months left of surveillance before I can throw myself a party, but so far, so good.
#FuckCancer but also our medical system, which wanted to diagnose me with depression 🙄 rather than listen to what was going on before I got to Stage IIIc. I am lucky, because people a decade younger have died of this.
Stay on your doctors for better care, stay on your politicians for better #publichealth

@dnkboston@apobangpo.space I am tired of having insurance in the United States. I want to have health care. Diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in 2017. Sending all the good thoughts your way. Ring that bell.
