This article looks at the practices of digital performativity of bodies-in-remission on Instagram to detail the affective and temporal experience of post-treatment patienthood. To explore these performativities, I use the images and narratives of the post-treatment breast-cancer body to have a conversation about the vicarious ‘re-experience’ of the malady—now in abeyance—through the discursive register of fear and the clinical haunting of the everyday in trying to offset the side-effects of the treatment regimes. I further argue that these techno-digital enactments of post-treatment patienthood co-emerge through complex ‘intra-actions’ of and within entanglements of materialities, networks, discourses, affect, and multiple registers of techno-social mediation that shape and constrict them. Accordingly, this article is an effort to make sense of how people ‘memorise’ chronic illness and prolonged suffering—especially when it impacts key sources of their gender identity—through negotiations with the temporal-discursive processes of networked communications.

本文着眼于 Instagram 上缓解身体的数字表演实践，以详细介绍治疗后耐心的情感和时间体验。为了探索这些表现性，我使用治疗后的乳腺癌身体的图像和叙述，通过恐惧的话语记录和临床困扰，就疾病的替代性“重新体验”进行对话——现在已被搁置每天试图抵消治疗方案的副作用。我进一步认为，这些治疗后患者的技术数字化行为是通过物质、网络、话语、情感以及塑造和限制它们的技术社会中介的多重记录的复杂“内部行动”而共同出现的. 因此，
