Overdue update: I began having trouble drinking & swallowing over Mother’s Day weekend & received a hospice referral the following Monday. It’s all still a lot going on. I truly don’t know what’ll happen tomorrow, but I’m at peace.🤞🏼 I appreciate everyone, it’s still so scary 🫠

Quick update: New MRI shows no regrowth on the primary tumor site (has recurred twice). Unfortunately, there are new tumors. Spine MRI is clear. I officially have gold in my L upper eyelid & new-found relief is wild. I’m doing some more focused radiation & treatment. We move 🤞🏼

Once again, none of it is glamorous. I’m truly going through it, and have been since 9/23. I appreciate all of the kind words and responses. Not giving up, but also giving myself grace for getting this far to begin with. 🫶🏼

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.

Y’all really liked Beyoncé’s album like that? 🫣🫢 She’s got bangers & great discography, I’ve always been a fan, but this ‘country’ album wasn’t it. But so many people loved it, make it make sense.

If your organization/ company/ place of business has remained silent about its commitment to DEI, I think you need to reconsider your org’s (and maybe even your own) values.

I love me some football. Chiefs are insufferable. (Cancel me, idc) This game was ridiculous. There went Stroud, let’s go Ravens? 🤞🏼

It’s 2025 & I officially finished radiation treatment yesterday (maxed out, actually). My life changed forever on 10/2023. Cancer has taken and continues to take so much from me, but we’re keeping on 🫠🤞🏼

Could not get treatment at MD Anderson. Started some more radiation & immunotherapy here last week. (Thanks @Humana 😒) I’m exhausted. This has all been too much physically & mentally. I’m not sure how it will all play out. No regrets.🤞🏼

I have an amazing team working on it for me, but still, it’s the principle. 🎯

Well, it wouldn’t be right to give Sam a break, now my access to treatment is being delayed by insurance. Again.😭🙃 Very American, very on brand.

Relocating back to TX for more treatment at MD Anderson. It’s been over a year since diagnosis & it’s wild to think about how quickly my life has changed. 🌀
