NO NEW CANCER

in Random Crap

Y’ALL.

I just heard from my doctor and the stomach biopsies they did last week came back showing no additional cancer! WHOOP!

He’s so optimistic about my prognosis that instead of doing to biopsies every 4 months I don’t have to do another one until the end of the year, which means that I don’t have to worry about doing biopsies and procedures during book tour and OMG I AM MELTING WITH RELIEF.

I still have the gastric metaplasia and most likely there is still some neuroendocrine cancer wandering around in me but this confirms that it’s probably small and slow-growing and might be the kind of cancer that you just have forever but doesn’t do much of anything except make you tired, which is not great but I WILL TAKE IT IF IT STAYS LAZY.

YAY FOR LAZY CANCER!

Sorry. That was nuts but I’m just so relieved because I was having a lot of stomach pains and was worried it was bad news but turns out it was just my stomach being complicated and difficult, which I can totally live with.

I’m still going to live life knowing that life is fragile and I will still keep saying yes to things like I have been this last year, but maybe now I can say yes to things without the immediate fear that it will be the last time I say yes.

Thank you for all the thoughts and love, friends.

Going to go cry now a little, but in a good way.

  18. Woo-hoo! Time to celebrate (glass of champagne or a nap, either is appropriate)!

  20. CONGRATULATIONS, JENNY!! 🎉🎉🎉
    I understand so well the relief of finding out at least one part of you is cancer free! Enjoy this beautiful moment and keep fighting and LIVING, girl! 💪🏻
    Thank you for your sideways humor, your willingness to share your yourself with all of us and for your awesome writing skills! You have been a bright spot in some dark times in my life – thank you for that!

  31. So so relieved to hear this news. Good to know the universe is not always a complete dick. 😊

  38. Sending you SO MUCH love. Thank you for being you….and for staying alive. You help so many people, including me.

  41. Oh my gosh I am so happy for you!! That is the best. In this shit show of a year I am so happy to hear some good news. Cheers to lazy cancer! Mayor always stay lazy

  49. Along with everyone else-I am happy for this terrific news. Be safe and spread kindness.

  52. Such wonderful news! As a cancer survivor myself, I always say one of the gifts cancer gives to you is that realization of the ephemeral nature of life, and a great appreciation of the little things. So happy for you!

  55. I’m relieved to hear this especially after the news of Elizabeth Briggs passing from colon cancer. Too young. I hope your stomach leaves you alone and let’s you live pain free. You are precious in my heart. I’ve been following your blog for 15c years, I think. You make me feel seen.

  56. Yay for lazy cancer! No one deserves that good news more than you! Are you coming to NY on your book tour? Would LOVE to meet you!

  58. Congratulations from outside of the US! 🙂 To be honest (and most certainly not only in my opinion] there are really some people in your country I’d not shed even one tear if they died or only really had to suffer for whatever reason.

    But you, dear Jenny, dear Ms. Lawson, you really have great things to do and to achieve. Please keep on fighting and causing laughter and happiness by your “crazy honesty” for so many people. Good luck and all the best to you! 🙂

    PS: And as always, from man to man: Thank you dear Victor for having Jenny’s back and holding on to her with your obviously very special kind of humour and patience as well! Good luck and all the best to you too! 🙂

  60. Oh Jenny, wonderful wonderful news! Finally, some good news this year. Thank you for sharing with us! Sending good thoughts to you and your family !!

  63. Congratulations! Great news. You are just one of my favorite people that I don’t know, but absolutely adore! Love and good health to you Jenny!

  65. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 😀😍fantastic you are right life to short to worry worry actually gives you wrinkles!

  68. Allright, now you’ve got ME crying a little. I’m a survivor and a writer and your latest greatest fan! Thank you for you! You’re awesome!

  70. Thanks for sharing this truly wonderful news, Jenny! I am so happy for you and your family. I’m so happy for all of us that there is good news and good things happening in this fucked up world. Love you. 🩵

  73. Appreciate the positive news. Totally understand the relief. Waiting 2 months for husband to get a scan to find out if recent aggressive radiation and chemotherapy for the cancer worked.

  74. Hip hip hurray for lazy cancer!
    Seriously, this is great news! You’ve been through so much this year on top of all the other things you fight through every day on a regular basis, you really deserve this small hope and joy and peace of mind. You give so much strength and joy to all your followers, and I’m so glad the universe has created something good for you.
    Keep on keeping on, and know that we have your back!

  76. I know I’m one of millions who semi-follow you but I am SO happy you are in a status quo kind of state! I admire your love of life and your dear ones and then all of us!

  77. I can only dream of being as strong as you have had to be. Looks like cancer decided not to fuck around with you. Yay you.

  80. oH Baby girl………..fantastic news.! You will carry on and on and onnnnnnnnnnnn

  81. In this Hellscape, I am so grateful for happy news like this.
    Fuck cancer – but if you have to have cancer, let it be LAZY CANCER!

  82. So happy it’s nothing more serious. But you are allowed to feel bad about it sometimes. Because it just sucks. A good friend has a lazy kind of stomach cancer and she is a full-time event photographer and baker. Best wishes and sending love!

  83. I have a blood cancer caused by a mutant gene, but the right mutant gene ( who knew there could be good mutant genes in our bodies fighting on our side, right?) I may have to take a chemo pill with some possible side effects like hair loss, so I bought a wig! Fatigue could also result, so I will take it easy. Right now, things are under the limit I need to take the chemo and have been for 2 years. So many people have health issues that complicate their lives. I can’t complain …but I know how you feel. It’s a relief, but we still feel for those that are dealing with their own pain be it mental or physical or especially, both! Your posts help make all of us laugh!

  85. These days, any good news is a treasure and this is GREAT news!

    I hope you had a good, cathartic cry. <3

  86. Jenny, millions of strangers (who feel as if we know you) adore you and are celebrating with you from afar.

    As always, I’m glad you exist.

  88. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Best after-New Year’s present EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  90. 🌻🪷🦝🎉🎉🎉💃🪩💜💜💜🫶🏻🫰🏻⭐️🫰🏻🫶🏻💜💜💜🪩💃🎉🎉🎉🦝🪷🌻

    Also, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

  94. SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! So glad you have ‘lazy cancer’, which is something I never knew to hope for before. (And your stomach making you worry for no reason, omg I feel that. Sometimes our bodies just like to freak out randomly.)

  99. That is incredible news, Jenny! Thanks for sharing! As one cancer survivor to another, you got this girl!!💜💜💜

  105. This is absolutely wonderful news! Sending massive love to you and your beautiful family, as always!

  107. As a cancer survivor, this post made me weak in the knees with gratitude. Take every damn win and celebrate. The next best thing to no cancer is lazy cancer. YAY for lazy!

  108. Everyday there’s things to be grateful for, some small, and some big. This is a gigantic! (Forgive me for crying a little bit with you)

    💕

  111. Hooray for slow growing cancer! This reminds me of what I always tell people about my daughter’s cancer – that she won the cancer lottery. They usually look at me like I’m insane. Yes, it’s the worst lottery to win, but at the time her cancer was the most treatable cancer of all cancers, both adult and child. So if you have to get it, you want that! Or lazy cancer. 😂

  113. So happy for you! That’s the best news! I hope your cancer goes from lazy to downright indolent and comatose. 🩵

  119. Great news! Literally waiting on hold at my doctor’s to hopefully hear the same news. Over the moon for you!

  123. Hooray for lazy cancer! (I really don’t like offering any sort of kudos to cancer since it really needs to fuck all the fucking way off to Fuckoffville and eat a bowl of fuck when it gets there, but…)

    My BIL has been dealing with “lazy” prostate cancer for about 8 years now, and if that’s what we gotta accept, well, let’s hear it for lazy!

    Continued wishes for your future biopsies to be more and more indolent…may they go on a cruise to the Island of Fuckcancer for a long vacation, swinging in a fuckhammock…of fuck off.

  129. I am honestly, truly happy for you. Cancer isn’t a happy thing under any circumstances. And honestly, the treatment may be worse than the disease. Eleven years ago I had cancer and successful treatment. Now I have permanent nerve damage from the radiation. So yay. They can cure the cancer but you will be really sorry afterwards. Also, my best friend of 64 years just died of chemo that was to treat her stomach cancer. Unfortunately, she also had chronic kidney failure so the first chemo treatment killed her within two days. 😢
