Oh, man! And I thought my 2024 sucked. Be gentle with yourself. Keep looking for the humor, and share with us whatever you feel like. Laughs, rants, musings during a treatment, whatever. There will be someone out here that your words will touch. And, thank you.

Being quite gentle with myself (well, trying.) Glad you are here for the laughs, and I hope to deliver.

Thinking of you, Kyrie. Thank you for sharing this update, it can't be easy to put into words. Let me know if there’s ever anything I can do. I know I’m far away and mostly useless, but I mean it. Thank you for everything that you do and I wish you the absolute best for 2025 ♥️

I appreciate this update on how you’ve been doing. I hope the new treatment works well and definitely good to be aware of your body’s limits but always happy to see new writing updates from you :)

I waited for a while because I was like, "Are they gonna go, UGH more cancer stuff" But I realized without being honest I was hiding a whole part of my life.

Tough read, but I appreciate the update. FWIW, you've been on my prayer list since I first heard about your cancer. I shall redouble my efforts.

You're right-- no shortage of tough cases out there, and it can get discouraging. And for every tough case, it's not hard to find one that's worse. We press on. We have to. Pardon the cliches, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

My faith tells me that in the end, all will be well. Let's hold tight to that hope, and persevere. Hang tough, Kyrie. You're an inspiration, and that's no joke. 🙏

Cliche's are honestly most pertinent to cancer I find, so I don't mind at all. Thank you Mark.

I'm so sorry Kyrie. Please rest as much as you can, glad you have options with your treatment but you have my thoughts going through it again. ❤️

I am also very thankful that she told me that, because doubts creep in, you know? Resting as much as I'm able when the fatigue comes upon me :D
