JJ Singleton: Chemo Round 191 – What 11 Years of Treatment Have Taught Me

JJ Singleton, Research Advocate at Fight Colorectal Cancer, shared on X:

“Chemo round 191

I’m exhausted, even before, but that’s okay. I’m ready to get this done.

It hit me the other day that November 16th will be 11 years since treatment 1. Crazy, 190 of them ago…

I’ve been on four different chemo combinations. I’ve been on immunotherapy. I’ve been on a combo of both of them. And I hate to say it, but treatment is so individualized…

…the main thing that I have learned is it’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay not to be strong. It’s okay to say this stuff sucks…

…find people that help. It could be caregivers. It could be family. It could be friends. It could be online friends…

Because cancer will change you. Cancer does change you. Treatment, it impacts every part of you and your life. But find ways to be yourself. Be it with friends. Be it with the things that you love. Be it with new things that you find and discover in this.

But let’s go get treatment 191.”
