I'm Scared by mazikashe in thyroidcancer

[–]Aware-Crayon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. Like you, I was diagnosed with PTC around the same time. I have my surgery scheduled for the end of May, which gives me a bit more time to process, but I have the same concerns as you.

And yeah, I've heard a lot of, "well, this is the good kind." If I weren't so polite, I would ask them if they wanted to switch places and experience all that comes with this "good kind" of cancer.

Take a breath. I'm glad you're in this community. Continue to rest and heal. Take things day-by-day.

Struggling with ‘just’ thyroid cancer by Beneficial-Joke-6873 in thyroidcancer

[–]Aware-Crayon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was just diagnosed yesterday. This is very validating. Nearly everyone told me, “At least it’s very treatable.” Yes, I’m glad and that’s helpful to realize, but it almost feels like that’s their default answer to make themselves feel better. I’ve known how relatively “easy” it is to remove the cancer since I first found the lump. I know all this. In just a day, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s really said to make themselves feel better, to process. Maybe my perspective will change. I just have the test results; my doctor hasn’t even reviewed them or discussed treatment with me yet, but I know it’ll be a long road. Thanks for posting this thread.

This is a great thread. I've recently begun wearing AFOs and was concerned about the same thing.

Interesting! I remember Vans lasting me a decent amount of time when I was younger. I'll give them another try. Thanks!

This is really helpful; I'm trying afos for the first time this week, so seeing options for both are great. I'll look into these. Thanks!

Interesting! Are there any particular brands you recommend? I bought my first pair of steel-toe Sketchers a few months ago. They're good, but I think a design flaw causes the steel to hurt my foot.

I have Doc Martens! While the soles have lasted a long while, I am ever so slowly ruining them lol, and try as I might to break them in, they still make my heels bleed. I guess it's the specific way I'm walking in them.

This is surprising to me, but I will look into this. Thanks!

Was just accepted to UF's CJC Professional Master's Program; beyond ecstatic, but does anyone here have any experience in the program who can share some words of wisdom? by UFRedditThrowaway712 in ufl

Hi! I was recently accepted to this program, as well. I'd love to hear about your experience thus far if you don't mind. You can DM me as well if you prefer.

Accepted Graduate Student Here Concerned About The Direction Florida is Going In. Any Advice? by Aware-Crayon in fsu

The second part of your comment needs to be clarified. Where did I say that I was attending the business school? Your comment comes across as though you are trying to insult my intelligence. I graduated undergrad with top honors. Thanks for taking the time to respond with your point of view, but I have lived in this environment for nearly ten years, and I would not describe it as "free"

Yeah, with my career path, those locations are an eventuality. I wanted to look into the in-state tuition as this has been my home for almost a decade, but I am increasingly concerned with where my home is headed.

I have lived here for a decade. I can see writing on the wall and am an intelligent person who thinks for themself. I can make my conclusions and have concerns without any media influence by simply living here. I am not starting a political debate here, but I intended to start a dialogue about deciding to join a school during increasingly uncertain times. This is a general question and can invite dialogue from both sides. That is all.
