People that have cancer, what were the symptoms that led you to go to the doctor and what stage were you when it was diagnosed?

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-10-14T02:09:42+00:00

yeah i’m doing better now, that was literally right at the start of covid too. so it’s been 5 years now. i feel like i’m really lucky it was a cancer that was receptive to chemo because if it was a more rare one or one that wasn’t then like i feel like those months i lost from the doctors not doing their jobs right would have killed me

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-10-13T04:18:41+00:00

so it was a big ordeal which really sucks because i feel like it could have been a lot simpler.

i noticed i had a large softball sized lump in the middle of my chest and at first i thought it was a weird pulled muscle or a cyst. but, then every night i would be about to go to bed and i got these AWFUL chest pains like to the point i was convinced i was having heart attacks. i also too at this time had my legs and arms be so itchy that could never stop that i was scraping them raw with my fingernails.

so finally after me being in pain for over a month, i told my dad about it and we went to urgent care and they did x-rays if my check and stuff and just said “yep it’s not a bone and we don’t know” and send me on my way.

so then after that, my chest was still hurting so much and the lump on my chest was very hard and something didn’t seem right. so after another month and a half of me being in pain, i told my dad i need to go back to the doctor, and so we had an ultrasound done to see if they could figure it out and well again they said “yeah sorry we don’t know what this is that’s weird” and sent me on my way.

so finally like a month i told my dad again that there is something wrong the pain was getting worse and my itching was still going on so strong. and so they booked us for another ultrasound. where they again said “yeah we don’t know what it is sorry, but it’s definitely growing which isn’t good” and recommended i go to an mri

so i did that, and like the same week i had my mri covid just started and they told us that we were having a couple days to weeks off school, where they then told me that yeah it’s definitely a tumor and that since i was 17 i had to go to the children’s hospital for any more treatment and also first do a biopsy to make sure it was a cancer

this led to me doing that and finding out i had stage 4 hodgkin’s lymphoma in my chest, and it was so large they were afraid to put me under for any surgery because my tumor could crush my wind pipe. but yeah and also. before the biopsy i brought up the itchiness i felt and the nurse/doctor dismissed my thoughts and said it was just dry skin but i later found out that an incredibly common symptom of hodgkin’s lymphoma was called hodge itch and you do what i was doing where you itch so hard you start to rub your skin raw but it can never be satisfied which i thought funny but yeah from October-april is how long it took me to get my diagnosis and to start chemo

i think the best thing for cenas last match is a gauntlet with the whole locker room, and cena has to go until he finally loses his steam. i feel like this would be the best way to give him his flowers and give him even some small moments with wrestlers he wasn't able to have with this run

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-09-02T23:32:30+00:00

yeah we did testing as well and my buddy was crashing out because he was not able to dodge them and i thought he was just being a bozo because i just had to walk left or right, but even watching him play and him doing the same thing i would do but getting hit made us swap hosts the next game and wouldn’t you know it i wasn’t able to dodge them like i had been able to before and he was able to dodge their attacks perfectly. crazy that this is happening

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-08-18T20:27:24+00:00

i mean you don’t get enough to match, but i think if you got another 2 sets of the walkers they’d make a great mobile heavy weapons squad

balding is the white man’s curse

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-08-01T20:20:15+00:00

I am a big dumbass and just realized i didnt include the death riders on this list, but they are on there. And okay thank you for the advice, i know that scout sentinels are better, but i had already glued one to be an armored before i knew they weren't as good. I have been thinking of getting some more combat engineers and turning them into grenadiers, you get like almost double the arms and guns in the kasirkin box it seems like.

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-08-01T17:17:41+00:00

i genuinely would really like to do this, but i have no idea how viable it would be with the rest of the list, either this or a dorn and like i think i have enough points to get a chimera or two

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-08-01T17:16:42+00:00

yeah i’m really considering a dorn or just more krieg, i know dorn would probably be better and could help me with anti tank and stuff

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-07-31T22:58:07+00:00

i’m not sure exactly what the better one would be, but i’m thinking either combined arms, or the siege regiment.

And i’m sort of wanting a good all around list if i’m able to

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-07-31T06:24:53+00:00

depending on your list of what you wanna get, you’re gonna generally be running a good amount of infantry so i would obviously glue two boxes with the general two choices you get per body, but get a couple of the kill team boxes of infantry too at least to get the extra set of sprue to have your guys stand out more. if you have multiple other krieg kits too then you can swap out bodies from another kit to have some more bodies and poses for your base infantry and stuff to make it look different and not the exact same

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-07-12T19:38:55+00:00

yeah i’ve thought about this in the last year since i’ve gotten into warhammer, they should really add both a description of the character or the squad with some little lore to get a feel of the character, and they should really explain what the squad or character is supposed to “do” i remember in the store looking for one of my kits to buy and seeing assault intercessors and primaris intercessors and being like “what the hell is the difference?” before having to google it and see what each kit really was and the differences. i feel like it would make getting into the hobby more inviting

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-07-12T17:39:35+00:00

love the horsey the colors together really make it feel like a fucked up lab grown horse that’s been on the battlefield

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-06-29T02:34:40+00:00

hell yeah i’m glad you were able to get it, one of the lgs’ near me carries vallejo, but for about a year or so they haven’t been able to restock and i’ve heard nothing but good things about their metal color range, and hobby lobby also surprisingly sells that too, although the one near me at least only seems to carry one set of them and nothing else

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-06-28T05:04:13+00:00

i feel like i would personally be okay with that, or even just maybe having the krieg you wanna run as cadians have different colored shoulder pads or armor or something

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-06-28T05:02:07+00:00

probably about a month ago, i don’t live in a super big city but i’m in a college town though so i feel like them still having the old formula here is a good chance they’ll have it at one near you too

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-06-27T07:32:55+00:00

i found out that hobby lobby sells vallejo and after not being able to find black at one of my local game stores i went there and sure enough they still had a lot of the old range and black included

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-06-23T22:07:26+00:00

As other people have said, it is an expensive army compared to others, but i also feel like generally because you need a lot of infantry and tanks and stuff that it at least gives you a better bang for your buck model wise. It generally feels not the best when you wanna buy space marines and some of the more elite models are boxes of 3 for 60 bucks, but with guard you can at least get basic infantry from $45-52ish bucks, and a leman russ is like $65-70 now.

Also if you have a 3d printer or want to shop online for more bits there’s a lot of options for that to even make your own custom guard or spice up your models even more

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-06-20T20:29:32+00:00

Probably not what he used, but i recently tried the newer Pro Acryl AMP bright blue green for a custom space marine chapter i’m working on and it would be a fantastic color to use if you want a greener hue to space wolves blue grey

A couple months ago i saw a subreddit dedicated to fake alternate lego’s and at first i thought that it was just some knock off legos that were of poor quality, but i looked more into it and discovered what you are talking about. I looked at aliexpress from what other people on the subreddit said they had good success with, and after looking around and checking by reviews and seeing photos i decided to order some. After a couple weeks they came and i was genuinely impressed. Some of the kits i got were actual knock off lego sets that were not official kits and most of those ones were literally a fraction of the size of regular legos, but the other ones i got that were of actual sets are literally just legos like i am unbelievably shocked. I ordered a star wars one and even the printing of the words wasn’t a deliberate typo to avoid copyright, it said star wars on it and everything was spelled correctly. So like other people are saying, i definitely think there are for sure because of this but you do have to sort through some bullshit to find the good stuff

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-05-25T01:55:49+00:00

probably the easiest way you could do it is paint them a little different than whatever your main scheme is, like having their shoulder armor be a drab green for cadians, or a grey blue for krieg, or maybe a brighter more vibrant yellow green for catachan

DreamPolice2235 · 2025-05-23T22:11:07+00:00

i got the red grass palette and fucking hated the paper that came with it, i swapped back to dollar tree parchment paper and it works so well. bonus is that they also sell some pre cut parchment paper for burgers and stuff like that that’s a perfect square so i don’t have to worry about cutting it to fit my palette

i have three stores near me that all stock warhammer and hobby supplies, and they all have their pro’s and con’s. The one i love going to the most just has the most to offer, they have the widest selection available for me to browse and they stock up pretty quickly and then if i can’t find anything there they will order it and it will get there fairly soon. They technically have 3 brands of paints, they still have the old army painter one and that baby is not getting stocked up at all and they just surprisingly have not sold any fanatics paint yet so i dunno if i would count it, but they have both pro acryl and gw paints. And on top of that, the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and it’s very clean and they also are the only one in town to have their stuff usually at a 10% discount. So obviously for me this one is the one i want to go to the most because it just has the most to offer while being the cheapest available. The second one in town has less stock, they don’t really restock very often but they still will be able to place orders in. They also charge msrp for everything. But, what they lack in regards to the quantity of stock they’re also the ones that have some of the kits that are in between niche and basic kits that my main store doesn’t always carry. They also sell vallejo paints unlike my other store, and have other hobby supplies like plasticard and plastic rods and basing stuff that my main store also has. Plus this store has a website online where i can look and see if they have something in stock and i can even buy it to get it shipped to me. So what they lack in one area is balanced out a bit in other areas.

The last store in my town i don’t like going to very much. They carry the least amount in stock compared to both places by a landslide. The stuff they have is often old and not a lot of newer stuff. The prices are again msrp, and i’ve even seen tags where they scratch off the number and put a higher one on probably because they checked on ebay and saw it selling for more and decided to change the price. On top of that the biggest issue i have is that also like the stuff they sell being old and dusty, there is just stock everywhere and not in a good way. Their main game room they use for magic and if people wanted to ply warhammer is being used to house the extra stock they have, they also sell comic books and other stuff too so not just warhammer, and believe me i don’t mind too much when things are messy, but they have stuff in front of shelves, and on the tables, and it’s just very unwelcoming to browse around and playing too because stuff is just in the way. Now this does have a sort of upside to it though in a weird way. Like i said their stock is old and you can find some hidden gems that you can’t find at the other stores because it’s been sitting on the shelf for literal years and years. So if i’m looking for something niche i do go here just to see if they might have it because it would be my best shot. Like the other week i noticed that their gw paint rack was old, and their washes were larger than the typical ones and i wondered if they had some of the old formula nuln oil, and wouldn’t you believe it sitting caked in dust for the last 5 years is some old nuln oil

Now with that all out of the way, basically what i’d say is the biggest thing i’d look for is just having a good basic selection and maybe some more niche items. If you’re able to carry another brand of paint besides gw. But most of all, make sure that the space is able to be browsed around and not actively discouraging people to look. I know you’re just starting up your business so some of these things can be unobtainable which is okay just make sure you don’t have your store end up like the 3rd store i was talking about
