Diagnosis / Treatment Update: March 8

from Lumps and Humps: The Audio Files · host Alli Houseworth

My symptoms got worse this week—the worst they’ve been. More blood loss, more pain, more fatigue. A tumor making itself known. At the same time: a chemo port, an expander fill, anemia, a diet I hate, and the ongoing reality of two cancers actively working against each other in my body.This episode is about what it looks like when “health gets in the way of health,” when every solution creates a new problem, and when you’re forced to hold two truths at once: this is temporary… and this fucking sucks.
