- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

My cancer medication for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
I don't have to have chemotherapy. I take a single pill once daily. There are side effects, sure. My life isn't as full of pep as it used to be, sure. I'm still in pain all the time, sure.
But I've seen cancer, and I've seen how bad it can get and I'm floored at how much of a real life I'm capable of leading while being treated for this disease.
The cost and risk of losing access to it hanging over my head is very stressful, but I can't deny the actual results, which are life-changing and life-saving to say the least.
Amazing the progress that's been made in that area
Progress in the last few decades has been amazing. One of my coworkers died in the late 1990s from some kind of leukemia that today is highly curable.
