Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Appointments suck. They are a part of it. But I do tend to tell patients many appointments won’t be life changing. Think of it like getting your oil changed. You’ll hear some stuff but it might not even be cancer related. It’ll like be like a mechanic mentioning to change your air filters. #Cansky

The ONE thing I always tell someone newly diagnosed with cancer is, it WILL get better once a plan is in place. Will it be 100% better, no, but it will improve. #Cansky

When someone asks how I got involved in advocacy. #Cansky

Whenever I get the chance to speak in front of doctors, patients, and caregivers it’s an honor. Thankful to represent the Board of Directors for The Judy Nicholson Kidney Cancer Foundation and the patient family advisory council for @vumc_cancer. I’m grateful. #Cansky

Thankful to be asked to speak today at Hope in Motion, put on by the Judy Nicholson Kidney Cancer Foundation and Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center. Thankful I can shed light on advocacy. #Cansky

#Cansky you don’t have to explain your feelings daily. It’s not up to you to make someone else’s feelngs validated about your diagnosis.

Stories from biopsy today… Nurse: your heart rate seems elevated… Me: well I have one kidney left and you’re about to poke it with a large needle 😅 #Cansky

Biopsy done ✅ Heading home. #Cansky
