How to Improve Mental Health Naturally
There was a time when I thought taking care of my mental health meant booking therapy sessions and reading self-help books I never finished. And while those things definitely have their place (especially therapy, big fan), I started realizing that so much of what affects my mood, energy, and general brain fog comes down to the little things I do, or forget to do, every day.

Recurrence or "Over-Reaction"
The world of Cancer testing has improved since the last update. There is a test called Signatera , which is a blood test that looks for cancer cells that are related to hormone-hungry cancers, such as mine. You get tested every three months. The first time was in January or February. My memory is a little hazy on this part. It showed it was fine. No residual cancer. The second time I got it, I think it was in July, and they saw an increase of 0.07% in hormonal tumor DNA. My new oncologist is far better and more amazing than the shit for brains at the UT Hospital (This can be discussed privately). She really wants to be proactive about this because I have a repeatable history of being cancer-free for a year and then being sucked right back into the monster's mouth.

Thank you... or maybe not?
One of the biggest things that I have a hard time with is concepts like: "Your trauma made you stronger." or "Thank them for hurting you, because it taught you lessons."
