Giulia, this was perfect. I tried to think of another adjective and I can’t. I don’t think anyone should have to feel like there’s a grand lesson they learned from cancer or any other traumatic event, but I’m glad if you had to go through it, you gained that knowledge. This was my favorite line: “When the horrible got lighter, the liberation remained.”

And selfishly, as a comedy fan, I’m glad you’re back onstage so I’ll say Atlantic City or Philly are my requests. And maybe one day I can make one of your LA events because every sound amazing, especially the night out.

Hi. I’m newly diagnosed as well. Had my double mastectomy two weeks ago. Waiting on path results and super nervous. I have expanders and i hate them. Can you write about the reconstruction experience and how it shaped your self image? I’m low-key looking forward to my recon because I’ve always wanted to go smaller.

Hi! Yes I will address some of that in my next piece. It’s all such a wild maddening ride! I’m so sorry you’re going thru this and am sending you lots of love & healing!

Dear Giulia,

Love the subtitle "How I Became a Clown Again"!

This is very funny: "I knew I was on the other side when I said to my friend 'all these comedians are getting cancelled meanwhile I got cancer-ed.'"

This is also very funny: "I’m not Adam Sandler, despite receiving a few 'she looks like Adam Sandler' Youtube comments on my videos."

I'm glad you're here! In all the ways!

Thank you for sharing all of this!

Love you!

Myq

PS I don't think you look like Adam Sandler. I think you're both beautiful people on the inside AND outside in different ways. Maybe similarly beautiful on the inside.
