6 years out: an update!
Hi everyone. I’m sorry I haven’t updated in so long. I am a little over six years cancer free now from Hodgkin’s lymphoma and I couldn’t be more happy about it. In that time, I graduated from college and went to medical school. I’m in my last year of medical school now, and afterwards will begin my training to become a cancer doctor. I am healthy and happy. I hope everyone is well!
2.5 Year Follow Up
Guess who continues to be cancer free!!! 🤗
An update on my life is long overdue, I will post soon.
i found your blog when i was desperate to find anyone my age & with the same diagnosis because i felt like I was the only one in the world with this & your humor made my daysssss. this week i have my last chemo & scans following hopefully, finally being cancer free from hodgkins. just wanna let you know, you’re a badass girl! my fav thing was making cancer jokes left to right with my friends and family (w some of your jokes as well!) & some people being awkward haha. hope you’re doing well! 💛
❤️💕❤️💕 CONGRATS ON FINISHING SO SOON!!!!! That is SO exciting and I can’t wait for you to enjoy feeling 100% again soon :) thank you for this sweet message!
I know, some people were v uncomfortable with my cancer jokes. It actually sort of bothered me…? I was just like “…..why are you even allowed to be offended by MY cancer goodbye”
how bad is chemo? I'll be getting it soon and the thing i'm most worried about is being nauseous. I have (or had) testicular cancer.
first of all, I’m so sorry to hear that, my heart is with you
As for chemo: it really depends on two things: the person’s own physiological response, and the chemo regimen itself. For me, it was bad, but not as bad as it could have been -- by which i mean i was very often nauseated but wouldn’t actually throw up more than a few times per treatment. My nausea might have been better if i had taken all the anti-nausea drugs i was prescribed, but i chose not to because i did not like their side effects, namely constipation and feeling braindead. Paradoxically, I also found that eating helped ease my nausea a bit.
That being said, everyone reacts differently. A family friend of mine who received chemo for breast cancer had no nausea at all, and there are people who work and go to school during chemo, too.
Hi! I messaged you on anon a few months ago when I was newly diagnosed. I wanted to let you know that I documented some of my journey on a second tumblr and even based the name off yours (keymokween) & just took it off private bc I decided I wanted to share my experience like you shared yours. My sister and I used to sit and scroll through your blog together laughing and talking about how dope you were, and you were a huge part of my acclimation to this new life. All my love & hope ur well! <3
oh my gosh!! gonna check it out rn
this is the sweetest message ever. i am so happy to hear you are feeling comfortable enough to embrace your true identity as keymo kween, and i’m also glad my effed up sense of humor could be there 4 u when u needed it <3

You were in a dream I had, and I drew you. (Just your head) and I wanted to tell you, because drawing your portrait got me into drawing. It was like five years ago. And I just saw your selfie and my heart stopped, you're real. Holy cow.
yaaas showing up in ur dreams that’s chemo princess as hell luv it
Hi hi-- I'm 20 years old and I got diagnosed with Hodgkin's just shy of a week ago now. I'm honestly unsure of what I'm feeling at this point. I just wanted to reach out and say that from all the internet digging I've done, your blog brought me some smiles in a time when there haven't been many. You're fierce, strong and absolutely fucking hilarious. I'm not sure of the details of your diagnosis or treatment, but knowing there's someone out there like you helps me think I can beat this too. xxx.
Hey, I don’t know how old this message is and I’m sorry for taking so long to respond, but I just wanted to say thank you: that was one of the most meaningful responses I’ve gotten to this blog, and it made my day. It’s crazy to get messages like this because I started this blog as a joke LOL. But then a lot of young people with cancer started reaching out and I realized the blog was serving a purpose outside of just making my friends laugh. I hope you are doing well with treatment or recovery, wherever you are in your journey! FYI things get way better. I feel totally fine, and have for a while – it’s almost like it never happened. But now you and I have this bizarre insight that 20 year olds aren’t supposed to have. Wishing you luck!!!
Been over a year but my chemo curls still goin strong
hey <3 first of all, you're so beautiful :) and second, my chilhood friend fighting hodgkin lymphoma cancer, this week she started with the chemo, it's almost a week, she's hardly eating or drinking, she don't want to get out of bed, and she don't share with me anything of what she's feeling, if you can, i need your help, i know that people handle those cases diffrently, but if you can atleast to tell me what i should do to make her eat or drink or get out of bed, that's would help me alot!
Hey! First off, sorry to hear that, I feel for her. Re: eating and drinking and getting out of bed, honestly I don’t think anyone who wasn’t living through the experience with me could say anything very compelling to me to get me to do those things. It’s just hard to convince someone when you’re not their caretaker. My mom or dad were really the only people who could get me to eat or drink or move when I didn’t feel like it, and that’s because they were the ones checking in on me, bringing me food and sitting with me while I labored away at eating it, bringing me water and cheering me on when I finished it, etc. That’s probably not what you want to hear -- I know you’re concerned but I think the most you can do is tell her that her immune system desperately needs nutrition and hydration to help the chemo do its job killing the cancer. And that getting out of bed will actually make her feel better.
But most of all just being a good listener is what you can do as a close friend! She’s probably not opening up much about it because it’s depressing and tbh nobody can relate and it’s isolating. So just remind her you love her and are down to listen whenever to whatever she wants to talk about, whether it’s cancer related or not.
Having loving friends was so important for me during treatment, and I’m moved by your love for her.
this was my July 4th but it’s okay America will be here for me next year
Can confirm it is next year and America is indeed here for me
Hi I got diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and am about to start chemo, my doctor said my hair won't completely fall out but just thin. How much did yours fall out before deciding to shave it? Did you have ABVD chemo? Thanks :)
i did have ABVD! i shaved it when it fell out enough to a) annoy me that i was constantly pulling out clumps of hair and b) looked bad because it was sparse. i had probably lost a third of my hair before i shaved it, but i don’t think i could’ve kept it, it would’ve looked too sparse anyway. good luck!!!! you’re gonna be okay <3
wen u guilt ur bro into taking u out for ice cream bc u haven’t left the house in 5 days bc of chemo

Tbt to having #cancerprivilege
Hi my name is Nina, I got diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma about 6 weeks ago and just finished my first round of treatment, starting second round on Monday I find you so inspirational in your attitude towards the hair loss and cancer in general, I'm finding it really hard to stay positive, my hair is falling out a lot and I've been on prednisone for a month to shrink the lymph nodes so I also have a moon face, how do you stay so positive coz sometimes I really can't manage it 😁😟😅😕 Nina
Hey babe, I’m sorry to hear that. My hair started to fall out right around my second treatment too. For me the key to staying positive was just recognizing all that was good in my life – like the days that I was healthy enough to be out of bed and doing things, and the people around me who demonstrated so much love and care and really touched me. I hardly ever would perceive myself as a victim of some injustice wrought by the universe. Instead, I knew that it could’ve happened to anyone, and I just happened to accumulate the right combination of mutations in my DNA to get lymphoma, and I ought to make the best of a not-ideal situation. It’s just another challenge life throws your way, and you can either milk it for the learning experience it offers or be a slave to it. You are young and this is a blip in the grand scheme of your life that will pass. The bad days are part of that wealth of learning. Try to pay attention to your blessings. As for being bald, I felt a lot better just embracing it than trying to hide it, but that was just me. if you’d feel more comfortable a lot of insurances cover at least a portion of the cost of the wig.
i also should say it’s not like i was perfectly happy 100% of the time. I was positive to the best of my abilities but I too had down days and moments of feeling bad for myself… but I’ve said this before and I will say it again. Strength is getting up again after crying, not never falling in the first place.
