…because pizza and .9% sodium chloride doesn’t have the same ring as pizza and beer

I hope my stupid title was as funny as I thought it was in my head. Tumor -> Former? There’s so many layers! If you don’t think it’s funny, too bad, you have to because I’m the one with the cancer.

The last few days my dad’s been correcting me when I say cancer he says “it’s not cancer, it’s a tumor” and then I’ll reply “yah a malignant tumor which is cancerous”. I feel like he’s in denial to the point where he’s calling Derek: HE-WHO-SHALL-NOT-BE-NAMED.

I threw a tantrum to Joanna last night, she just sat and listened while I went on a rant that I’m sick of coughing for the past 8 weeks. My ribs hurt and I’m tired of throwing up every morning because of it. I had to take a break today from walking halfway down Costco while pushing an empty cart. Can I PLEASE be better now?

K I need to address something that’s been bothering me the last few days but I didn’t really have a good way of communicating it.
