This #FeelGoodFriday is in honor of Suzette, who's on a mission to get through her #breastcancer treatment and inspire others with humor. She's a producer and founder of NYLaughs.org, a NYC comedy nonprofit and is also sharing content on her own social media to help others heal through laughter. Suzette also wants to use her platform to educate others on breast cancer among black women, who are 40% more likely to die than white women. Additionally, people of color experience more illness, worse outcomes, and premature death compared to white people, and also face more obstacles for care. Suzette's Instagram is an intersection of info about breast cancer, support for communities of color, and of course, humor. Suzette says that while she is focused on getting through chemo and radiation, in addition to recently shaving her head, her main goal is "to make the path easier for anyone that comes after me." Thank you for the laughs and inspiration, Suzette!

Finishing cancer treatment unfortunately doesn't usually come with a certificate of completion. So Erin made her own! She was recently declared to have no evidence of disease (NED), and as her certificate states, "has successfully completed all the hair murdering drugs and skin microwaving prescribed, and is therefore awarded is certification of being N.E.D. (no evidence of disease)." 😂 We're so happy for you, Erin! #SurvivorSaturday #repost: It’s officially official...i am N.E.D. (No evidence of disease). Apparently, since I’m not 8 and this was not an online cancer course, they did not have a certificate of completion ready for me so I had to make my own (with my doctors permission of course). @memorialsloankettering is the absolute best and I can’t thank every single person I have come in contact there enough. 5 stars (for Sloan, not for cancer...cancer gets negative stars) #breastcancerawareness #breastcancer #noevidenceofdisease #memorialsloankettering #memorialsloanketteringcancercenter

Growing up, Eric always had an interest in the military. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps in the early '90s and served across the globe, from North Carolina to Japan, Latin America, and Bosnia. Eric says that his time as a Marine allowed him to understand different cultures and be appreciative of what he has. It also brought him closer to the people he served with. Eric joined MSK last year as a Nursing Clinical Analyst in Nursing Informatics. He's also instrumental in our employee resource and networking group for veterans. Eric says, "We all live very busy lives and do not always think about or appreciate what others are doing for us to be free and safe on a day to day basis, so thank a vet for their service.” We are so honored to have so many veterans like Eric as part of our MSK family.

Check out this emotional video of her ringing the bell, and please join us in wishing her well in the comments below. #repost: I (emotionally) rang the bell today. 25 treatments later, radiation is done and my body and mind are exhausted. Regardless, the past 5 weeks have been some of the most memorable of 2020 - from daily “radiation rodeo” rides to the hospital (shout out @kreebeau @itsthetoristory @dandun1), to my oncology team asking “@nickiminaj playlist again this morning, Sarah?” (they play music during treatment), to impromptu convos with some new friends and cancer thrivers (looking at you @jeromc2020). Overall, a chapter that came with some beauty and greatness despite the debility.

"I still live in constant fear of the cancer coming back. But in the meantime, my focus is on staying healthy through exercise, healthy eating, and positive thinking. My new outlook on life is on time well spent and not wasted." After Russell was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had a prostatectomy, he went through what he describes as a rebirth. Going through something that nearly destroyed his life gave him a completely new perspective and appreciation for life. African-American men are 50% more likely to get prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from the disease. That's why MSK experts stress the importance of starting screening at age 40, and why Russell sees his oncologist and urologist regularly for monitoring. Despite all that Russell's been through, he's dedicated to raising awareness and making a positive impact on others by sharing his story.

🎄 🎁 🎉 "Christmas came early for me this year!" Congratulations, Nicole, on finishing this step of your treatment. Also, a special shout out to your parents for keeping your company from a safe distance. May the rest of your holiday season be merry and bright. #repost @nicole.seagriff Christmas came early for me this year! I was originally supposed to end chemo on Christmas Eve but due to some trouble obtaining IV access we did a stronger final dose and ended 2 weeks early 🎉 Such relief to be done with this chapter of treatment and I am so grateful to have had family and friends along the journey with me- even though we had to be socially distanced. Since I couldn't have anyone with me for treatment I asked my parents to stand outside my window to wave and "keep me company" for the last few minutes of my final treatment. I put a sign in the window (in photos) as a small way to say thank you and to my surprise found strangers on the street stopped to cheer and clap. I'll never forget that moment and support from not just my parents but also strangers. Got to love NYC 💕

On this #FeelGoodFriday, we love this message from Kasey, a patient at #MSKKids, our pediatric program, who's embracing being bald. She says, "With cancer, there’s this misnomer that bald = sick. I used to subscribe to it too [...] But here’s the truth: bald isn’t sickness, bald is healing. The months where cancer silently grows inside us, the weeks we wait for a diagnosis and to begin treatment - that’s when we’re sick. Baldness represents healing, longevity and chemo shrinking the cancer. So today, I wear my bald (and surprisingly nicely shaped!) head boldly, proudly, as a symbol of healing and all the healing that’s to come."
