UPDATE: randi rhodes substack [View all]

https://randirhodes.substack.com/p/update


(snip)

I have cancer. Again. This cancer is a new cancer. It’s not my old breast cancer returning. This is a lung cancer. A big one.

For everyone who is still following this Substack and hoping for an update, there it is.

I broke my DNA. I was a degenerate smoker, and there’s payback for that. I have an inoperable oozing pussy gravy sore of a tumor in my left lung. I quit smoking 4 years ago. Ha! My doctor never had me screened for lung cancer. Ha! She’s been my doctor for 10 years! Ha! She forgot that I am an ex-smoker with a history of cancer. She made me come in every three months for Lipitor refills! Hahahahahaha. Yeah, well, hmmm.

I’ll try to keep an accurate diary of how disappointed and disgusted we should all be with health care delivery in America.

(a lot more)
