He was brilliant as the defense attorney, Bayard Ellis on SVU but I always loved him in City of Angels 🥹

Lung cancer is awful. Especially since it’s not usually diagnosed until the later stages. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and was given 3-6 months. By some miracle and amazing treatment she’s still here 2 years later.

My best friends dad died a month after his diagnosis and my co-worker’s husband died less than 6 months after his diagnosis. It’s just an awful, awful disease.

Thinking of Andre’s family and loved ones in this difficult time. 💔

I hope your mom will be fine for years to come! Sending her all the love <3

I’m glad your mom is still here. My husband has a co-worker in his early 30s who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last year and opted for a really aggressive surgery that left him looking like Frankenstein’s monster but he seems to be doing ok.

Unfortunately due to where her tumor is, surgery isn’t an option. But she has done a targeted therapy and then a few types of chemo and is still doing okay. Just thankful for all the extra time we’ve gotten with her.

May he rest in peace.

The NYT (I know, ew) had an article about how lung cancer rates are rising significantly, specifically among non- smoking women in the US and tbh I think is because the things the FDA allows are so awful here.

Iirc, the EU bans over 1300 skincare and beauty/ cosmetic ingredients, while the FDA bands 13. Just 13.

[theories why and what's in our skincare, makeup, cleaning products, candles and a great doco about this]Not to mention they allow them in perfumes, cleaning products, candles. The FDA allows companies to hide anything under the "scent added/parfum" label in the US and so these companies do

I've been covering chemicals at my news job and holy shit! The amount of chemicals in things we use every day! From our cell phones to cookware to personal care products.

And it was only this year that the FDA is finally taking action on chemicals in personal care.

And the EPA had the audacity to approve Chemours to import their PFAS/forever chemicals waste to their North Carolina plant, but they turned their decision over after push back.

Like, WTF?!?!

The amount of chemicals in things we use every day!

I hate to be that person, but you have to find a better way to phrase this especially if you're working in journalism. My body, your body, water, table salt, air, they're all chemicals. Just because something is a chemical doesn't mean it's harmful.

[fnowae]

I hate the new trend of "crunchy" influencers who fearmonger nonstop with "toxic chemicals" and "poisoning by the government" as if the air we breathe isn't 100% chemicals

Fuck cancer.

my dad had lung cancer and like. miracle of miracles, it went into remission but he stopped taking care of himself. it came back at some point, but him getting COVID very early in 2020 also kind of like. just exacerbated it to an extreme degree.

I feel for his family, it’s horrible to see that happen to someone you love right in front of your eyes.
