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.

Met with
@PatrickMichels and kicked around some great project ideas.@Cristinakim830 then came by with a ridiculous amount of food that I’ve already started devouring. Our friend Nadia joined in! Thought we’d watch tv but wound up catching up on life. Because I’m still living.2 replies 0 retweets 48 likesShow this thread -
And!
@Blackamazon flew in. From London. And got a lil spot right up the street from me so she can come over and hang out and help me do things laundry, which are still a challenge because I can’t lift too much weight.1 reply 1 retweet 82 likesShow this thread -
For a while, I felt like I was on my own. We moved to a new city a few months ago with few friends and no family. But I’m realizing that brand new friends and co-workers, as well as a fly-in and drive-in crew, are my support system. And we’re all surviving together. I’m blessed.

Today in cancer: my hair started to fall out for the first time. Not sure what took so long. I had a moment, and then it was ok. I then had another moment. And it was, again, ok. I haven’t lost close to all of it yet. And I’ll be a cute ass bald bitch anyway.

After my moments, I picked up
@Blackamazon and we spent the day grocery shopping, making short ribs, and doing my laundry. And talking. And laughing. So, all in all, a few hairs short of a perfect day.5 replies 2 retweets 127 likesShow this thread -
Today in cancer... the exhaustion from chemo is setting in, but I just watched my
@NewsHour segment about MVM holding children in that unmarked Phoenix office. Not bad.pic.twitter.com/SDlw0tRxQm

Back at the office today and am very excited about some responsive records and stuff but.... I got a card from @MinorityPostdoc and it out the biggest smile on my face. Thank you.

My iPhone suggested directions to my cancer center as soon as I got in my car today. This feels like a creepy violation of my privacy,
@AppleSupport. I don’t even use Apple Maps. It’s disturbing that this app, which I can’t even remove from my phone, is tracking me in this way.3 replies 7 retweets 48 likesShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
