      My last day at work was exactly a month ago, on Aug 28. I recorded a story that I’d worked on for months. I felt like this story, about a little boy detained at the MVM offices, might be the last story I would ever get to tell. Here’s the trailer: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/reveal/id886009669?mt=2#episodeGuid=prx_149_11c7fee5-997d-4295-932a-2ddcad3999a6 …pic.twitter.com/sL3t7eQ2uq

      I’m grateful to have amazing co-workers, friends, and family that are seeing me through this. I’m not asking for flowers, meals, and/or donations. Please save that kindness for people who are truly in need. For now, all I really want are your good thoughts and prayers.

      The next time someone tries to tell you that the media is the enemy of the people, think back on my thread. I’m a reporter. And every reporter I know would do the same exact thing: fight to the very end to tell an important story, 100% strong and 100% terrified at the same time.

      I was diagnosed with cancer one week ago. I start chemo Wednesday. Like our ancestors, sometimes we fight battles to quell invasions. Happy Indigenous Peoples Day to us. We’re still here. We’re still here. We’re still here.

      Completed my second weekly chemo day today. Still learning what this stuff does, and how my body responds. I don’t know how often, and I don’t know how much I’ll share, but I’m going to keep tweeting about cancer. For you, and for me.

      2 in 5 people will get cancer. It could be you, reading this on Twitter. It’s scary. Part of that fear is stigma. For all the love and support I have, many people ignore me now, as if we were never friends. If this society is good at one thing, it’s at abandoning the vulnerable.

      We don’t know how to talk about cancer beyond a banal ribbon. Or as if it’s “a journey.” Or as if it’s “a war.” It burdens me that I don’t really don’t identify with these things. Aside from slogans, cancer is whispered. It’s hidden. But I don’t intend to be quiet about mine.

      A lot of cancer patients say food tastes metallic during chemo. I expected this to be the case, since one of the chemos in my cocktail is platinum. I was like, ooh, platinum-level drugs! Nah. The actual metal is used as the base. This is me upon realization:pic.twitter.com/2wGOyU3Z9L

      For me, most foods have tasted fine, while some foods have tasted... weird. Not bad, just different. However. I just had some chives and I felt like I was eating aluminum foil in fresh herb form. Went away with a spoon full of maple syrup but wow now I get it. Yuck.

      The thought of pizza made me nauseous. It's odd, cuz I love pizza - but chemo can change ur tastes in odd ways. Most people also get a weird feeling drinking cold stuff. After awhile I just sipped it. That one is tough to explain to people who never had chemo. Goes away though :)

      I feel the same way about shrimp. I’ve always loved it, in any form, but don’t even like seeing a photo of it these days.
