Louisiana woman goes in for cancer treatment, then techs tell her to keep the stickers on for the next appointment: ‘I don’t come back for two months’

Navigating a cancer diagnosis is intense enough on its own, but sometimes it is the smaller, day-to-day logistical hurdles that really catch you off guard. Louisiana’s Rylie Kuyper, who has been documenting her health journey on TikTok, recently shared a moment of confusion regarding the marking system for her upcoming radiation therapy.

In her post, Kuyper explained that she had visited MD Anderson to prep for her upcoming radiation treatment. While there, she had her first encounter with the commonly used marking system. As she put it, “So while I was at MD Anderson, I was getting all my scans for, like, my radiation, which is at the end of August. Um, and they’re, like, drawing on me with this, like, Sharpie, and they’re, like, sticking stuff on it. And they’re like, yeah, just leave this on.”
