The last cancer scan Taryn had was one year ago.
Yesterday she got "the" scan and we got the results back just now...
FOUR YEARS CANCER FREE BABY

This morning We drove to LA to get my cancer CT scans …
Then, this afternoon, we officially signed papers for our new house 🏡
It’s been a long 2.5 years, but prettttty excited abt the cancer chapter ending & a new life beginning ❤️🙏
In a time when everything is more expensive
@twitch
seems to be severely cutting streamer revenue… as a non-streamer who lives with one I wanted to add some insight as to *why* this is so hurtful …

It’s with a heavy heart that I say … poor Molly died this morning unexpectedly. She was a gentle giant (105lbs). She loved long walks & carrying her ball. I swear she was a human inside & we’re all devastated 😭

Wait, members of Congress don't make decisions in a vacuum? They, *GASP* have policy advisors that they turn to? They have "teams". Wow. I am shocked. (Maybe
@realDonaldTrump
should take notes.)
Remember Tanya McDowell?
She got 12 yrs for sending her 6 yr old son to Norwalk CT’s Brookside Elementary School while she ‘lived’ in Bridgeport, even though she was homeless.
She was convicted of 1st-degree larceny for “stealing“ an education.
But,

4 years ago I was in chemo … unsure how much life I had left.
… this past week I got to snowboard in Tahoe (in a pink tutu) with other young cancer survivors.
Fuck your limits! 🏂🏔️🙏
@senditfndation
The whim of corporations putting profit (shareholders) over ppl is SO sad.
We’re seeing the same thing w/the
@WGAWest
writers strike. Studios care more abt $$$ than a sustainable industry.
Twitch needs streamers & It needs streamers who can pay rent/buy medical insurance
This is terrible & yet, anecdotally, I’ve seen this as well. I can’t reiterate enough what a gem 💎
@AplatypussTV
was during chemo-radiation & this entire

journey. He was only 28 when I was dx … he deserves all the things❤️🙏
Harrowing evidence that women are 6x more likely to experience partner abandonment after serious illness than men
Once again the social history is SO much more than alcohol/smoking/drugs, Y/N
We need to understand who is caring for our patients at home
But streamers/creators are the literal backbone of the platform.
They build lives around full time streaming careers (kids, mortgages, rent whatever) … the idea that at any moment their 10+ yrs of hard work can be cut by 20%, 40%, 50% … is TERRIFYING & lonely. 3/x
10 years of …
12 hour+ days
Working 6 to 7 days a week
Worried to take time off
Barely able to eat when live for 5 to 12 hrs
No safety net (no benefits, no retirement, no company support of any kind)
YES, streaming is a privilege — streamers get to live their dream 2/x
Sooooo… I’m getting scanned today. Like right now!
On my way I passed the OG dr who missed my cancer & I’m in the place of my very 1st PET/CT.
This is the bookend. Cancer ends today. Three years, let’s go!

That feel when ur fav person is on the front page of . HAPPY 10 YEAR stinky!
@AplatypussTV
On a serious note, over 10 yrs I've seen this man become a legend & truly when we were going thru cancer it was Max & his community that helped get us thu it💜
Got a lil help from Lil B, so we got another batch of plushies done 🙌 this might be my record for fastest shipping! He’s headed to North Carolina, Texas, Ca, New Mexico, Florida, Ok, NY, SC, Ohio, Az & more 🥳
I’m overwhelmed by the support, thank you all ❤️ I’m getting hundreds of messages right now w/ similar stories to mine across cancer, heart disease, blood clots etc. I’m Reading ALL of them. Your exp matter & I hope the more we speak about it the more US healthcare can change.
I know the world is a dumpster fire right now, but gosh darn it my PET scan came back w/ NO

so let me interrupt your twitter feed with a .... yipeeeeeeeeeee ❤️❤️❤️
“Any chance you’re pregnant”?
No. No uterus.
“Did you sign the pregnancy waiver”
Yes, twice & I don’t have a uterus.

I HAVE NO UTERUS

Finally got my circulating tumor cell (CTC) results… I’ve been anxious all week… big fat ZERO!!! Let’s go. No cancer DNA detected 🙏🙌❤️ next week I have a PET. If all goes well I’ll be TWO YEARS cancer free 🥰
TARYNCON 2023 was SO fun!!! 💜
Thank you to everyone who came out to support & watch me overcome technical difficulties so we could play Lies Of P for way longer than I expected (I 💜IT!!!). Literally obsessed now. ⚠️Clip has *spoilers-ish*⚠️
Remember your 🥷

. No 🐭
Obsessed with The Last Of Us (duh) but I did rant for 20 min to my husband that the "we must take her brain and kill her" makes no scientific sense -- and now I feel vindicated. Why kill the *only* person with immunity?
My amazing husband just gave me a very nice bday present. Historically I’m bad at accepting presents bc I never think I’m worthy of “spending the money”. I’ve decided I need to appreciate the love & generosity this human is showing me. I’m saying thank you, thank u, thank u! ❤️

from cancer treatment— this trip was a Xmas present booked last Nov. I’m sad that Americans are so cavalier with lives of cancer patients. Just remember someone like me could be on your flight :/
Breaking News: The four largest U.S. airlines — United, Delta, Southwest and American — dropped their mask requirements for domestic flights after a judge struck down the federal mandate.
Twitch punishing creators who have been streaming/building the platform for 5 to 10 years. Insane. I ran monetization strategy at a media company. This is *not* how you do it.
In our latest blog post, we tackle a topic that's been at the forefront of the community for some time - the rev split.
We also provide a related update around monetization for a subset of Partners.

community is insane. You all are so kind & generous with your time & money. The goal was $10k (which pays for 1 wish) & in one hour it's been BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER.
I’m continuously proud of
@AplatypussTV
& how hard he works. And SO grateful for the community around him ❤️ streaming is hard, but there’s an incredible upside — living your dream & connecting with ppl everyday 🙏
Many streamers say they work when they’re sick, rarely take time off, avoid eating on camera and limit bathroom breaks for fear of losing followers.
@MaxthePlatypus
Thank you to everyone for all the support, you’ve given me so much confidence in myself to beat this rare cancer. It actually means so much I can’t express in words 🙌❤️🙏
Packing plushies!!!! Thank you everyone for waiting. Since y’all have been SO patient I did a random giveaway for this batch & added a surprise in one person’s box (a gift card!) so check your packing slip 😊
I started a new IG for all things cancer prevention, cancer-fighting & overall healthy living so I don't keep bothering people on my personal IG. But you know when you start new social & have 0 followers, that's me, right now -- so follow me 🙏🥳⬇️

Hi
@Fly_Norwegian
my husband and I are supposed to fly to Paris tomorrow but can’t because of my life-threatening illness. We’ve tried contacting you for help but no luck ...
I have *thoughts*. Growing up w/ no money restaurants were too expensive for us & Olive Garden was considered "fancy" (for "graduations /bdays") ...
& being from a small town I didn't realize these were chains. Moving out & experiencing the 🌍, changes this perception.
Plushies are GOING OUT!!!! Sorry for the delay! If you bought in Aug or Sept, I entered you into a giveaway to make it up to you! Check your packing slip for the WINNER of an amazon gift card <3
