Having had cancer 20+ years ago as a teen I can vouch that the healthcare system here has ruined my life. Survived the stage 3 head cancer and the side effects? Wonderful! NOW PAY UP FOR THE REST OF YOUR PROGRESSIVELY WORSE LIFE! Ahh joys of unchecked capitalism.

cancer sucks. Fuck cancer. I’m sorry you had to go through that as a teenager. That makes it even worse. I hope you found a way to manage the side effects without being in too much pain or discomfort.

I’m alive so winning. Didn’t mean to be a downer on your birthday. We’re in this shit together. Hope your situation with medical improves!

We definitely are, and thanks. No worries about the downer thing, I would be telling everyone about how I was screwed over by the system and my body when the subject came up too.
