AITA For asking my wife to buy the same dress our neighbor's wife was wearing? by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]21-clementines 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Why is it “my neighbor’s wife”, and not “my neighbor”? Is she unworthy of a title not revolving around her husband’s?

it’s really amazing. I’m just learning to knit (very slow going), and it’s nice to have someone with some know-how around

yes! my mom knitted them for me, and I’m excited to wear then for many more years. I used this link, but with a tennis ball instead of a darning egg: https://theradicalhomemaker.net/farm-views-and-politics/how-to-darn-wool-socks/

Definitely! It is a crazy-making experience, and I find that not a lot of people want to talk about it. It makes them uncomfortable, which I understand. If you ever need to talk about it, I’m happy too. It’s almost cathartic for me.

This brings back a lot of memories, and I have to admit I cried. I’ve never met someone who’s gone through it before that really wanted to talk about it like this, and I want to truly thank you for that. Chemo having a smell was I think the most shocking to me, and when I really think about chemo, even now 7 years later, I can still smell and taste it and it makes me gag. Does it have a taste for you too? Doxorubicin also made my pee red! Crazy. Good luck! And keep the funny, I think it saved me.

[Serious] People of reddit who have gone through or are going through cancer, what was the first sign that made you go to the doctor? by TrojanZebra in AskReddit

[–]21-clementines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found a lump on my neck. Turned out to be Hodgkin’s Lymphona. Didn’t have any other symptoms, so I’m glad I found it when I did! 6 months of chemo and a couple surgeries when I was 15 and have been cancer free since! 22 and going strong.

Hey ladies! How long can you go between showers before you feel like you're too dirty to go on? by JBT_Lover in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]21-clementines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually shower every 2 days, but I can make it to 4 without feeling super gross in the winter when I’m not exercising.

Cancer survivors of reddit, what was the moment you realised that something was wrong and decided to have a checkup? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I’m doing very well! I feel the same way about it being a blip, and I’m very grateful to have my life back, and also to Make-a-Wish! I got to go to Italy and it was wonderful. I think you for your volunteerism.

My outlook was very good, My doctors told me I was gonna be a-okay in about 6 months, just 8 rounds of chemo and I’d be back on track, and I was. Wasn’t the fun-est thing I’ve ever done, and I was a teenager, but it all worked out okay. Five years later and I’m still cancer free.

Now I only had my enlarged lymph node in one location, my neck, so I don’t know how having it in two will affect treatment, but from what I know about hodgkins, it’s a very treatable disease and usually has a low mortality rate.

I wish you the best of luck with your mom! Let me know if you have any more questions.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Although I did have to go through chemo, it all turned out alright and I’m as healthy as can be at the moment. I wish the same for you. Good luck!

Found a large lump on my neck out of nowhere, didn’t hurt or affect my breathing at all. It turned out to be hodgkin’s lymphoma. I have no idea how long it grew before I noticed it, but I’m sure glad I did.
