Two weeks ago I landed in the emergency room. I thought my appendix may be bursting, I was in easily the worst pain of my life. My blood work revealed I was in the very early stages of pregnancy and it seemed to be an ectopic pregnancy, where the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube. The cells we
I work in a care home. Challenging behaviour, aggression, dementia, schizophrenia, health issues, bed bound, nursing, the lot. 80 plus residents, 4 units.

It was the advertisement’s outright simplicity that caught my attention. “Revolutionize science! Earn $5000! Call us now!” I wish I could say I didn’t know why I called them. I wish I could say it was some act of God or deception that drove me into their waiting arms. But that would be a lie. The tr

Finally got my chemo schedule. Next week get my port in and start labs. Already got my chemo hair cut, #2 clipper, need to pull out my winter wool for under my hard hat. Cycle 1 is the next Monday, Adrucil- Fluorouracil, Carboplatin and 96 hrs of Keytruda-Pembrolizumab, pump coming out that Friday.
I recently completed a 7-day course of treatment using Fluorouracil / Calcipotriene 5%/.005% cream (which I'll refer to as Efucal for the remainder of this post) and decided to share my experience. I'm posting this mainly because I couldn't find many firsthand accounts from people who had used this
