I've got cancer but it's probably (almost certainly, really) okay. Within a very short period I will no longer have cancer (for now). This is the best kind of cancer to have - the kind that is caught early and treated easily - but I've learned a few things on the way that I want to share with you.

“Easy mode” cancer is still cancer.
My cancer 12y ago could’ve been called an “easy mode” cancer, but it still cost me a third of my kidney and required a 12h surgery.
@Aphrodite Oof. I hope you're well now.
My remaining 1.7 kidneys are donor grade, according to my oncourologist. :)
I’m just hopeful that your treatments don’t adversely affect you.
