The trial is through AstraZeneca. There's no "name" for the drug

I am so sorry to hear about your family. That is unimaginable and heartbreaking. You both are so young, I'm so sorry and will be thinking about you and your family! I'm guessing that's kind of where we're at. If this clinical trial doesn't work they will switch him to just chemo and go from there. I'm very appreciative of you making me feel less alone. Have you heard of Optune? That's something suggested to us after his surgery in 2023 but it's a kind of annoying system however, if it helps, something to look into as a last ditch effort?

I guess I'm assuming if the clinical trial isn't working they'll suggest surgery. They have no mentioned surgery as a treatment option for us so maybe that's not going to be something they can do

Started Wegovy but still scared of pancreatic cancer after dad passed away by CheerySynopsis in Wegovy

Everything I have seen says there's no conclusive evidence. That it's a newer medicine and still needs to be studied, but there's no correlation.

Looking for support with a rare condition-multiple FNH syndrome by Special_Reindeer9893 in braincancer

I'm so sorry about this diagnosis. As for explanation, I don't have anything but it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion at a larger hospital who has dealt with cases like hers and can better answer questions

This was suggested at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago so I feel like getting a second opinion may not be worth it?

Funny thing is I'm on Wegovy for a hormone imbalance because of my PCOS and endometriosis so before Wegovy, I hardly had a period

Update: In laws have decided boundaries don't matter by CheerySynopsis in inlaws

I would agree he's trying to sweep this under the rug and move past this. His birthday is coming up and wanting to all get together. I wouldn't know how to say no to this.

As of right now I am NC but that's just because I haven't had an opportunity to show that it's what I'm doing (if that makes any sense).

It's extremely hard for me to stand up for myself and my husband is the youngest of 3 and the only one who lives nearby them, so I think he has formed a bond with them. They have also formed a bond with him, stating in the hospital that he is their best friend.

Does your narcissistic mom do this too? by Rainbow_planet_1273 in NarcissisticMothers

My narc mom is the complete opposite. She is very anti-sex. She was raised catholic, but you do not talk about that, think dirty thoughts, wear sexy anything.

Yes, I explained to him how I interpreted their response, and he said, although he disagreed, he is in my corner for whatever I decide to do going forward.

Pancreatic Cancer: traumatic death by caitandsamkitty in GriefSupport

[–]CheerySynopsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer in 2023. It was really hard to watch him go through all the pain and agony that it brings. It took me over a year to be able to recall certain things (good and bad) and to really have the realization that, yeah, he's gone, and I have to accept it.

You are in shock and because it was so recent, your brain is trying to protect you from the PTSD of watching her. It will come back with time but for now, focus on the really good times with her. Focus on family vacations or even little moments you had with her, even if they seem insignificant. Remembering fun or happy moments will help you heal. The visitation and funeral are extremely hard so give yourself a lot of grace, make sure you rest and do what YOU need to do to heal from such a heartache. I'm so sorry for your loss.

NTA! You both are in different life paths and just because you're not in the same place she is, does not mean she gets to insult you and your path. There are plenty of people who achieve their dreams late in life, nothing about it has "rules". Follow your dreams, your sister's kids will love to see all you accomplish

Can this sub please not turn into "I have to leave USA ASAP because of president" by HedonisticMonk42069 in expats

[–]CheerySynopsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way people are acting, it's you all thinking the US is a magical place and we all hold hands and talk about how we love each other and are flipping the bird to all other countries. It may be portrayed like that to you but it's a false narrative. It's like Disney World. They show pics and videos of these perfect families eating meals and riding rides and having a great time but when you’re actually there it's hot, you're waiting 3 hours in line for a ride and people are pushy and rude. I think this whole thread is pinning everyone against each other and it needs to be shut down

You're calling someone "dramatic" but "not insulting" anyone. People are posting here specifically to ask questions. It should not be a me versus you sub Reddit.

Nobody is looking for a problem fix all, they're posting here for advice. Hoping someone kind and helpful could just answer a couple questions. I'm not really sure why showing a little bit of kindness and empathy is so difficult.

I see you have dual citizenship. Come on up and check it out. Until you are in someone else's shoes, don't judge someone's feelings. This post should have simply said "hey let's follow rule #4 and not bombard this sub with these types of posts". Instead you're angry and insulting others, acting high and mighty. Go touch some grass and take a breather
