Matthew Parker: An Appreciation

An artist on his work and living with cancer

Those are lovely ❤️

This may be a stupid thing but I made an effort not to refer to his cancer as a battle or fight, because...if it's a battle, he is going to lose 😞

been on palliative 4 yrs myself, since the only thing i got out of my first yr of treatment was another tumor. glad your friend is on a pill a day. i get the not fun as they sound cocktails. thing that sickens me most is the people who think we're faking it because we don't fit the movie image.
