🆘 My irl best friend needs help. 🆘

I’ve been friends with Elizabeth since we were 10.

She is currently fighting ovarian cancer and the medical bills are piling up.

Late in June her life turned upside down with a full hysterectomy and a bunch of health problems after. She lives in Las Vegas and can’t afford to buy a car. She travels to medical appointments by Lyft, which is eating into her wallet. Before cancer she was employed and active, and now she had to give up her job because she can barely walk across her house without pain or shortness of breath. She’s waiting on disability, but it’s taking forever and her husband’s salary is barely enough to survive on.

If she can’t go to appointments, she can’t get her chemo and imaging done. Trying to walk there results in her developing ascites and she ends up hospitalized to get it drained. It’s very painful for her.

Can you PLEASE help? Any amount is helpful. I’ve been begging on her behalf on Twitter for weeks and there’s barely anything, so I hope to get something here.

Here’s photos of us back when I visited her in 2021. (I visited her again in July 2024, but she was sick and had to be in the hospital, and I didn’t want to take pictures of her sick and miserable.)

Please reblog! This will get eaten out of tags because of the link, and I need eyes on this.

hey, so I’m in chemo, am gluten free and low egg and need ideas for high protein kind of ‘nibble’ meals (also low iron). I have little appetite and everything tastes funky. help?

followers, ideas? esp if you've been through chemo or know someone who has

please ignore the "kick the craving" and "guilt-free" designation on these. they recently rebranded as a "diet food", but it used to say on the back that they were developed by a woman going through chemo who was craving a sweet treat with some protein. these are a really delicious little snack with some substantial nutrition to them.

Hubby had his final clinic appointment today. I was so fucking anxious, i was sure they would have found regrowth of the brain tumour or that his bloods wouldn't be good enough for the final round of chemo, but i was proven wrong thankfully.

No regrowth. Blood platelets high enough for his final round of chemo. He's been given the all clear to fly so we can look at going on holiday in October to Malta.

Going forwards he will have MRI scans every two to three months for the rest of his life, and there is a 95% chance the cancer will come back at some point in the next five years. But for now, we are in the clear.

I'm not celebrating just yet, but my anxiety has dropped considerably.

Uff... I think I might have made a demon deal to do this one. The green and the pink on the grey are almost too 'right' and it's really messing with my head. The chemo fuzz/unreality, the fact that I really need new glasses, the Christmas stuff everywhere, the music, the fish fingers that I should be cooking - it's all a swirly mess around my drawing. I really need a decent night's sleep - but that will only be got (maybe) through more drugs.

I think I've looked into Dean’s eyes too long and studied the shadow and shape of his green-pink lips until I can't think straight...

And he’s not finished yet.

I know this is super random but I didn’t think you were still active!!! I’ve been looking for active mcu/marvel blogs because all the ones I used to follow aren’t active anymore 🫠🫠🫠 do you know of any active marvel/mcu blogs? Writer or non writing blogs??

I live!

Kinda. I haven't been active in Marvel for a few years now, probably mid 2020 i switched over to Henry Cavill fandom, but then a lot of stuff happened from Christmas 2022 meant i had little to no inspiration to be on here. Then in October 2023 my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and that kind of put an end to anything on here for me. He was given 6-8 months to live. He had brain surgery for removal of the tumour and 6 full weeks of radiotherapy, followed by 6 months of chemotherapy. In June this year he was told there was no regrowth of the tumour, and although he will be monitored for life and it will be a life shortening condition, he was given the thumbs up that life could resume. Anyway, last month i had the first 'day off' from all responsibilities in a solid 9 months. Family, friends, and hubby arranged for everyone to take care of everything, and i took myself off to the cinema for the first time in years, to see Twisters as i loved the original movie. Well, i don't know if its the sudden lift of stress, the fact that the movie was really good, or just the stars all aligning in the right place, but i felt that fun rush of inspiration for fandom again, albeit for a certain messrs Powell and Ramos this time.

Anyway, i have seen a bit of an influx of Marvel on my dash since Deadpool 3 came out, it doesn't interest me but people are more than welcome to reblog or recommend blogs that are active in Marvel from this.
