hey y’all. tumblr vet here coming to ya with something i’ve never had to do before: fundraise in the name of my health. February 6th I was diagnosed with colon cancer and February the 16th I underwent surgery to remove the tumors. We are still waiting on the test results on whether i’m 100% cancer free. In the meantime i would really really appreciate it if you could donate or like and reblog. Even if you don’t have the funds now sharing the link can be a life changer. Im still on a lease for 4 months, im financing a car and im not currently able to move around or walk without pain which makes a full time job out of the picture. Those of you who know my irl know i don’t ask for much and wouldnt be doing this if it wasn’t super important. So please please share🙏🏿💛
along with it being women's history month, it is also colorectal cancer awareness month!
march is always very important to me, because my mom has had stage four colorectal cancer for about six years now.
back in 2018, they gave her 6 months to live, but through many surgeries, and many many rounds of chemo, she is still standing, and living her best life today!
so fuck cancer, and tell someone who has colorectal cancer, (or who has a relative/knows someone who has it) you love em!

My mom's currently starting her fight against stage 4 colon cancer, and we're trying to raise money to help with what she needs! She went to the hospital for ketoacidosis and found out she had both covid AND cancer. If any of you could share this to any socials you have, or donate if you can, it would mean the world to us! We want her to be around for her kids and grandkids as long as possible!

The world seemed without it's usual hues of color as grey clouds filled the sky, The Sun dimmed and it's warmth blocked
Footsteps crunched the grass below as rain drops fell onto the leaves of the surrounding trees... The drops multiplying as it began to rain but the three figures didn't mind one bit
They all approached a grave made between the three as they all gently sat on their knees, A certain lamp set down in front of the grave
Hearts were heavy on this day and may remain that way for a while... Yet it will be learned that it's okay to take time to mourn, remember... but never forget...
As a trio they huddled close and nuzzled into each other, Sharing pain and reminding one another to never hold back...
May your soul ride the wind up to the heavens above and carry on... even after death...
Hi Sky, I saw that you recommend maybe watching videos about ostomies for people who have just gotten them. Are there any particular videos you recommend for info?
Absolutely!
This is a super helpful video from a YouTube vlogger, LetsTalkIBD, who is both a person with an ostomy and a registered nurse. This is one of the best demonstrations and explanations for the placement of a new ostomy bag I have seen!
The same vlogger has a super considerate and insightful video on intimacy with an ostomy. It is helpful hearing these thoughts from a young person with a good sense of humor.
A YouTube channel, Truly, shares the story of Paula who went from dying of a bowel infection to being a fashion designer - for ostomy bags! - and content creator on TikTok. She describes her grieving process and how she discovered her love of sewing by making ostomy bag covers that match her outfits.
Truly also shares the story of a young man named Joel who learned about his condition through intense flares. He describes his battle of coping and grieving his condition and learning to love himself despite his ostomy and autoimmune condition. He says that his ostomy saved his life.
Shield HealthCare shares the story of Laura Cox's decision to have her ostomy surgery before her disease process progressed to an emergent state. She discusses the things she wishes that someone told her before her surgery; all of her points are inspiring and informative to a person considering an ostomy placement. Laura shares a similar video regarding top concerns with ostomies on the same channel.
To pair with LetsTalkIBD's video on new ostomy bag placement, Mr. ColitisCrohns shows both how to remove an old bag and place a new one. This video is particularly helpful for men or those who have extra body hair on their abdomen.
I am so thankful that the Internet has brought so many people with "invisible" illnesses together! The resources are truly abundant when you know what to look for.
Is it genuinely conceivable to create a system – a harmonious blend of diet, supplements, and training – capable of emancipating the aging body from the clutches of pain and discomfort? Read on...
Is it genuinely conceivable to create a system – a harmonious blend of diet, supplements, and training – capable of emancipating the aging body from the clutches of pain and discomfort? A system that stands as a formidable bastion against cancer, an unwavering guardian of stable blood sugar levels, a mender of the gut, all while sculpting a striking, athletic physique?
The answer lies in…
Okay. Tomorrow is my first infusion. I've got a bag packed with my book, power bank, headphones, snacks, drinks, and my medical information. I just have to clean out my water bottle and I'm going to bed.
Colon Cancer Awareness: Detecting the Signs and Taking Action
Colorectal cancer, often known as colon cancer, is a common and potentially fatal disease that affects the colon and the rectum. It is a form of cancer that starts in the colon (large intestine). Colon cancer most commonly affects older persons, although it can strike anyone at any age. The colon is the last section of the digestive tract. Polyps, which are tiny, noncancerous (benign) collections of cells that grow on the inside of the colon, are the most common starting point. Some of these polyps can develop into colon cancer over time. It is the third most frequent cancer in both men and women worldwide, emphasizing the importance of increasing awareness and early identification. However, if diagnosed early, colon cancer is extremely curable and generally prevented.
