I’m finding that the more “positively negative” my body and brain remain, the less need there is to update outside of what you can find on my social media accounts. You can access my Instagram account on this page, as well as from the home page. Outside of those regular updates, I will absolutely leap back into “Niki News” health status updates here on the website, should anything new rear its ugly head again. Please feel free to reach out via Insta and or the “contact” page here on my site, should you have any patient advocacy or caregiver questions.


Gotta hand it to Elon… he’s giving me ample motivation to strength train and work on my calming techniques. 🤣🤦🏼♀️🫠 #workoutthewhacko #fitafter55

It's World Cancer Day. As coincidence would have it, the last of my ten trips through gamma knife happened to drop on February 4th (2016). "Metastasis Mike" was zapped that day and there has been no further issue for me personally. 🧠💫 That said, I've met soooo many others less fortunate than myself. People who put everything they had against cancer, but are no longer here to speak for themselves. It's for them and those who cared for/about them, who keep me "in the cancer loop". They're the reason to watch progress and research and pass along information, or be a shoulder to lean on. Cancer is personal... on so many levels. #worldcancerday #fighton #unitedbyunique #f**kcancer #uscbtc #keckmedicineusc #supportscience #researchsaveslives

Down to LA for a swanky good time! So thankful for all of the clinicians, researchers, fundraising, and the entirety of support staff! Without you folks, the world would certainly be a lesser place. Celebrating all they do for folks like me and you, with USC Radiation Oncology @usc_radonc @californiaclub1887 , with an overnight stay @thebiltmorela. Best food I’ve had in… probably ever. OMG… 🤤 Same time, same place next year? 😂 #partycrasher #beingspoiled #usckeck #radiationoncology

I have the best husband in the world. Not only does he make great pancakes, but he then personally serves me at the table, where I am putzing on social media. 🧐😑☠️🤣 #portioncontrol

Never in my life, would I have predicted I would see a Jewish person excuse away and defend a Nazi Salute. I. Am. Thrown. 😳🫠🤷🏼♀️ He knows the difference... https://www.threads.net/@massimoduttilover/post/DFKUCgVtAL0?xmt=AQGz1r6O7ofTZ7zw9md_md9YgJKhKt-yuiSxGBWhId10rA

5.6 miles… because 56 is a smidge beyond my range at this age. 🤣 Perfect weather. Lovely start to the day.
