Ugh, Tumblr keeps getting worse for people who are not on Tumblr.

The first five parts have been republished at the web site Living Beyond Breast Cancer.

I am able to scroll through this on my laptop (with an adblocker enabled, without being logged into Tumblr) and see all content, though there is an annoying banner at the bottom of the screen.

I got through 6-8 on my phone without being totally prevented from reading, I was able to scroll down to read the rest.

I'm glad Bob is over and the adrenal stuff was solved.

"Breast cancer: just barely worse than pop-ups?"

Glad to see one of my favorite writers come out the other side of Cancer Valley. My aunt was in the cancer biz for years, and she says that for many people it's now a chronic condition. Crazy....
