On Cancer and Kindness

An invitation to share your story

Yesterday I wrote this little thing and posted it to Notes on Substack. It went a little something like this:

In the last year, I have:

• had two cancer surgeries

• lost 40 pounds (see above)

• quit teaching

• started a new career, in a new field

• published my third book

• quit drinking

• wondered many times if the cancer would kill me

• really, seriously stopped giving a shit…
