The are very few good things about having cancer but I try really hard to look on the bright side. Because what else can you do, so I thought of one. Ice cream every day to keep the weight on. #Cancer #Chemo

I feel guilty, as jews do, but this is the week I feel lousy on chemo and I just decided not to pay a shiva call bc of it. Legit? #jewish #kosher

My daughter won the citizenship award at her elementary school graduation yesterday. She was selected from a class of 125. Her name was called. She got a plaque. This is a wave I will ride for a long time. I hope she will, too.

If this isn’t the most hopeful thing ever. First bloom. Just as I turn from the lowest point of this chemo cycle. #hope

Every oncologist has to have a little sadist inside.

Imagine waking up to rescue dogs all chilling like this 🙂🙂 This is kennel-free living at our pioneering rescue in Manchester where the dogs live together, not separated & lonely in kennels. Please give us a RT to help build our Twitter following 🙏 #dogsoftwitter #reacuedogs

My oncologist rocks. I email him and he gets back to me within minutes. He is so smart, self possessed, strong, and take charge. He is also part rabbi to me. #grateful #cancer #oncology

#cancer #truth When rich #friends or #family disappoint me by not showing up and then they ask what they can do, I really should just send them a link to a charitable organization for cancer care. That’s the way some people give best.

Every May, when I drive in the countryside, I think, “Lilacs and road kill.”
Can we just decide mask or no mask bc noses out is just so half assed. Go big or go home.

I go to the supermarket every single day, I think. I rotate through five, six supermarkets. There is never a stable amount of food in the house
