Update... (Patreon)

I feel weird writing this post because it will probably sound more dire than intended. I'm sorry I haven't had any new chapters this week. I went and had those additional images following my mammogram and it wasn't great. The results came back as highly suspicious. Not what anyone wants to hear in terms of breast cancer. I need to have a biopsy but it will likely have to wait until I return from Writers on the River since we leave for that in 6 days.

In addition to that, I'm still fighting to find a way to cover my biologic medication because I'm in that weird place where I make too much money for assistance but not enough money to pay $9k a month for medication. My insurance sucks. Which is why the idea of a breast cancer diagnosis makes me break out in a cold sweat. I'll have more chapters for you soon and will likely write while I'm in Illinois next week as well.

This week I'm just trying to process. I'm basically cycling between numbness and panic. Mentally and physically I'm not great. I want to get back to my old routine of just escaping into my writing but its hard to focus. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if this is cancer. There doesn't seem to be any lymph node involvement which is good. I hope its all just some big mistake or overreaction but unfortunately I likely won't know for another 2 to 3 weeks because of this con coming up.

I know its been feast of famine content wise but please hang with me a little bit longer while I try to get this medical shit worked out.
