Bone cancer can also be seen in the pelvis, shown below

ok my OTHER reflection:

on the one hand its really frustrating to see the posts about docs and healthcare in general on here be so narrow-minded. bad experiences with certain providers have lead to a huge spread of misinformation and mistrust with the whole system. which can and HAS lead to people avoiding 'evil' doctors for perfectly treatable illnesses and dying from them (the vaccine bullshit, anyone?)

but on the other hand. it is TERRIFYING how some of these docs practice medicine. at times i think 'are you just burned out and don't give a shit or are you straight up just stupid?' and i work in critical care. where quite literally every case is life or death. even in the academic sector where there is supposedly a standard of excellence, some doctors i would not let touch my loved ones with a ten foot pole.

and that sucks. i know this is the no nuance piss on the poor webbed site but 'the medical system and people that work for it are fallible and aspects of it are morally questionable at best/unethical at worst' AND 'the field of medicine exists to help people first and foremost and mistrusting/avoiding it can be detrimental in the long run' can and DO co-exist

I just saw your Martin and Bosco post earlier today for the first time (after being on tumblr for years and years!)—I lost my Grandpa to multiple myeloma last summer, and it has been really difficult, both before and after his passing. It’s such a horrible, horrible disease. Your post literally brought tears to my eyes, it gave me so much joy. Thank you for sharing it on tumblr, I’m so happy they can live on through all of us. Much love from Chatham ON! :)

I’m so sorry to read about your Grandpa. Multiple Myeloma is a brutal disease - both my dad and my husband, Martin, died from it, so I understand how painful this loss is. I’m not sure if you’ll see my reply since you’re on Anon, but if you do, I’d gently encourage you to consider participating in the Multiple Myeloma March. For me, fundraising helped take some of the grief and turn it into something that could actually help other patients. Myeloma Canada makes it really easy to get involved. You can join a local team or do your own thing as a solo participant. Last year, I (with my mom) joined the Windsor-Essex team because the funds supported a research project at the University of Windsor. I liked knowing exactly what we were working towards - it felt like a real, tangible goal we could accomplish.

My opinions about Ultra anatomy are long and convoluted and half of them are based on what I think would be funny, however I'm mostly sure Ultras don't have bones and when this idea struck me at 3am I had to bring it into reality

Break her bones and it'd be like a glowstick, I'd say shake her for good measure but that would end in murder

If I'm being honest my mental health is probably at the lowest it's ever been since high school, maybe even lower.

ive avoided talking about this bc i feel like the second i do im gonna jinx it, but here i go.

my cat, whom ive had since kindergarten, got diagnosed with stomach cancer over a year ago. somewhere in january or febuary i think? i cant remember well

hes still alive. hes super thin and has been having coughing fits since before diagnosis, but hes still alive, and as energetic as ever. the vet told us to euthanize him "as soon as possible" because "hes probably hiding the pain" and the usual bullshit about how its inhumane to let him live with the pain. this is what my parents told me the vet said, at least. i was furious. we of course didnt get him euthanized, and as i already said, hes still alive.

to be honest, i dont really know why i made this post. i guess i was wondering if its normal for cats to live this long with cancer. or its a vent. i dont really know what to do, except keep loving my cat until he passes. its been a stressful time, constantly living like today is the last day i see him for a whole year. im exhausted. i dont know if the vet even said anything about his expected time left so its just been a guessing game. my distrust and hatred of the health care system has now been expanded to the animal health care system too. sigh
