🌈 Walking through PrideFest today, I’m reminded that I am so much more than a cancer patient.
I am gay.
I am a husband.
I am HIV positive and undetectable.
I am a Chicagoan.
I am a dog dad.
I am alive.
I am me.
There’s power in being seen in all your layers. Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈💖
June is packed—3 bestie bdays (2 turning 40!), my husband’s bday, PrideFest, the parade 🌈✨
But chemo doesn’t care what’s on the calendar.
So I’m pacing myself. Squeezing joy from the good days. Grace on the hard ones. 💛

As a cancer survivor who is on Medicare, do you have a Medicare Advantage plan too? Or just Medicare A&B? I’ve heard mixed things.

Through every season—holidays, hardships, and even cancer—this crew has been my rock. 💛 They make the hard days lighter & the good days sweeter. Support like this makes cancer less shitty. Grateful for love, laughter, & strength. ❤️ #MakeCancerLessShitty #SupportMatters
Some days hit harder. Today, I spoke with a lung cancer friend whose cancer has spread. It’s gut-wrenching and hard not to think, could that be me someday?
I have scans Dec 16. The scanxiety is real.
Thinking of my friend as they start treatment. Fingers Crossed!

How do you pack your meds for a trip? 💊 Do you have any tricks? I tend to overpack for every scenario—if you need it, I probably have it! 😂 Traveling with cancer means being a walking pharmacy at all times.
