Look out, Chicago! Warrior Megsie is coming back to town for #COSMO26 to participate on a patient panel. I’m self-funding this trip, which definitely tightened the wallet, but hopeful this leads to collaborations & paid opportunities to bring the patient voice into more rooms.

My daughter… Princess Phoebe Nell… Isn’t she lovely? #caturday #cat #girliegirl #royalty

Good afternoon! 💙💙💙

It was a tough week. Thankful I survived it. Ever since my birthday, I’m having a harder time compartmentalizing everything happening in this country, constant assaults on the Black community, frustration with my 9-5. My rage-o-meter has reached new levels. #mentalhealth #protectblackpeople

I’m pissed off. I’m hangry. I’m hot.

At yet another dr appt today. It takes A LOT to continue surviving #cancer. Permanent damage & pain from toxic treatments & multiple surgeries outside of all the original #breastcancer surgeries has caused me to feel like I’m 900 years old! Believe our pain, dang it!

I know I’m not alone in this. Parents divorced when I was 2 1/2 yrs old. We’ve spoken 3x in my life. He lives in Iowa w/ ⚪️ wife & daughter who has my initials. I had strong #fatherfigures growing up, but none in adulthood. Deep void. We still need father figures as adults. #fathersday

#Caturday with my daughter, Phoebe Nell 😻

All-white jury found #KarmeloAnthony guilty despite evidence of self-defense. This isn’t justice. We’re seen as threats, esp Black boys and men. I now have to compartmentalize the rage & grief to co-present to a predominantly white audience. The emotional whiplash is exhausting.

Heading to Portland, OR for @assocofosw as Warrior Megsie! Walking to gate…saw James Baldwin t-shirt…BLACK OWNED…YES! Spending all my dang money and haven’t even left yet! 🤣 T-shirt from @thevillageretail Backpack from @OncData #aosw2026 #advocate #jamesbaldwin #lgbtqally

Look out Portland, OR! Warrior Megsie is coming your way this week for #AOSW2026! I’m co-presenting this session from the cancer patient/survivor perspective along with the oncology social worker expert Dr. Lisa Petgrave-Nelson DSW, LMSW, OSW-C! #advocate #oncologysocialworkers #cancer #grief

It’s #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay. 10 yrs later, I’m still here w/no evidence of disease (NED) surviving, but shaping what survivorship looks like. #ASCO26 Voices. Advocate. Storyteller. Pushing for more inclusive #cancer care. @ncsddc.bsky.social

Look out #ASCO26! The GA Peach has landed!!! 🍑 I’ll see y’all at the ASCO Voices session tomorrow!!! 🗓 Friday, May 29, 2026 ⏰ 1–2 PM CT 📍 McCormick Place, Room S100a #ASCOVoices #CancerSurvivor #RepresentationMatters #PatientAdvocate

Thinking of my grandfather on #MemorialDay. “An Army veteran of World War II. He had the distinction of being a Buffalo Soldier, earning several medals. Mr. Chase was honored by the Jacksonville Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club…” – snippet from his obituary

I poured into myself and filled my cup with community, sisterhood, laughter, connection, acceptance, and JOY! I went in my personal capacity as a #breastcancer survivor to just BE with other women of color. #fyp #forthebreastofus #baddiecon2026 #womenofcolor #survivorship

Protecting my nervous system. I’m on PTO and leaning into rest. 🩷 Heading to breast cancer conference tomorrow just to be—no spotlight, no leading. That comes later this month. Right now: rest, community, and protecting my peace. I refuse to be hardened or numb. #protectblackwomen #selfcare

The @AtlantaBallet performance of Frida was PHENOMENAL! Sheer perfection from the cast, choreography, costumes, set & lighting design, and the orchestra. Still in awe from this masterful performance. A much needed escape from the insanity of this country. #atlantaballet #brilliant

My brain is broken. My soul is broken. I just…can’t seem to process anything anymore. #votingrights #racism

It’s easy to feel invisible in cancerland & social media. I’ve had moments questioning if my voice mattered because it didn’t “go viral.” But impact isn’t always loud. It’s in the one person who feels seen. I’ll keep showing up for the people who need it, not for the numbers.

I finalized my script! YAY!!! Since I have a million doctor appointments this week, why not make use of all of the waiting time! Let the memorizing begin for ASCO Voices! #ascovoices #asco2026 #doctorappointments

#sundayvibes 3 dr appts this week and already exhausted from the thought of them. I made today my #selfcare day. I wanted to look nice for myself even though my pain levels are high and fatigued. Depressed about turning 50 in a few months. Forcing myself to run errands now

It’s #Caturday in the Chase home! My daughter, Phoebe Nell, is such a little meowdel! 🧡😻😍

A little humor for the afternoon! I crack myself up!!! I’m a total NUT-MEG!!! #humor #thursday

Lovely evening at the I Will Survive, Inc. Art Jazz Gala here in Atlanta. The impact of #breastcancer doesn’t end with treatment. Financial toxicity is real. Nonprofits like this help ensure patients and survivors aren’t navigating this burden alone. www.iwillsurviveinc.org

Happy Caturday from my daughter, Phoebe Nell 🧡🧡🧡

#NationalMinorityHealthMonth I’m reflecting on how often I’m the only one in the room speaking up for minoritized communities in #cancer spaces. Medical mistrust is common, but in my community, it’s historical & lived daily. We’re not always seen as “just” patients or survivors.

It’s April & and 10 years later…less pale, more hair, and STILL FABULOUS! 💋🩷🎭 🙏🏽 I’m proud that I’ve lost some weight. I’m still big, but clothes are looser. I have hope to one day look in the mirror and like what I see. #breastcancer #cancersurvivor #LifeOnTheCancerTrain #healing

Loved being a guest on The Who We Become #podcast with host Amanda Lentz. We had an honest conversation about what my #breastcancer journey looked like after active treatment ended. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/1Pwh... It was authentic. It was vulnerable. And it was deeply honest.

It’s #AYACancerAwarenessWeek! What happens when you “age out” of the AYA space, but still have challenges, especially financially, and less support?We must evolve to include those in the middle who, hopefully, have a lot of life ahead. #cancersurvivorship #ayacancer #ayacsm

Can we have just ONE freaking day without that orange demented cretin dominating everything?! I’m supremely irritated. My fuse is short today.
