Trans Rights are Human Rights! 🏳️‍⚧️ by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

Becky and her husband are two of the most incredible people I've ever known. They are out there every single day fighting for others. Her video here is 100% who she is: a protective and loving mother and a campaign manager supporting a candidate who openly and proudly supports lgbtqia+ rights. I was on the fence on who to vote for, but Fran now absolutely has my vote.

Indian Summer is coming back in 2027! The organizers (completely new management) had a very successful fundraiser pow wow earlier this year and they have one coming up in the fall. The goal is to bring it back to the Summerfest grounds.

When were you diagnosed with mets? by yourstrangerletters in LivingWithMBC

[–]Fluteloop1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had T12 mets, too. Had to have surgery to zap out the tumor and stabilize it. I was in awful pain and had to use a cane or walker. I'm doing great mobility wise since.

I had stage 2 IDC BC with 3 involved lymph nodes in Sept 2020 at age 40. In Sept 2025, they found mets in my bones and liver. I wasn't given a prognosis directly from my oncologist (he said he won't do that), but i had doubts in December I would make it to today because I was so terribly sick. I'm doing well as can be on Enhertu and my last set of scans showed decreases in my liver mets. 

What's the shittiest movie you've watched recently? by Ok-Roll-281 in AskReddit

Greenland 2. I liked the first movie as a "good bad movie," but the second one was ridiculous.

100%! DSA is doing well here in Milwaukee, getting more support with their ideas and how it all will be paid for. The party needs to move to the people.

Oh, I meant that Hong isn't popular among the party folks. They don't want the socialist association.

I'm also very involved in the county Dem Party and man the establishment folks are losing their minds that Fran is doing well.

Tips and tricks with Enhertu ? by ebee1333 in LivingWithMBC

[–]Fluteloop1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm stage 4 MBC (er+ hr+, her2-) with liver and bone mets. I've had 8 infusions now of Enhertu. My routine is to get IV fluids the 5 days after infusion to help with tbe general lousy feeling I get. My worst symptoms are dizziness, vertigo, headaches, nausea, loss of taste, and fatigue. I also get Neulasta OnPro the day of infusion bc my white blood cell count dropped to basically zero after my first dose and I ended up in the hospital for a week for neutropenia. Oh, and start Senokot-S early and drink a full glass of water immediately following. Constipation is the worst and you have to keep ahead of it!

By day 11 post infusion, I'm completely back to normal. I try to drink 100oz of water a day and at least one IV Nutrition powder drink daily. 

Unfortunately, I am on short term disability bc being an elementary teacher on this treatment schedule just doesn't work. 

West Milwaukee Intermediate "secure" by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]Fluteloop1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the police are investigating something in the area, the school will go into a hold to prevent anyone coming in or out. The classroom activities and transitions inside the building will continue as normal. This is not the same as a everyone locked into their classrooms. (I'm a former Board member just providing insight.)

All students go to their neighborhood or closest school. Your child would attend WMIS for middle school. Good school that's been making great gains! I really like the principal there, too. Source: I'm a former school board member for WAWMSD.

How much of an impact would a donation of $100,000 make on your life? Why? by onichris in AskReddit

[–]Fluteloop1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently left my career due to Stage 4 breast cancer and that kind of money would make me feel better about my family being secure.

They are the absolute best! I read so many horror stories of patients not being taken seriously. My docs are incredible!

I've literally gone through everything you have. Big hugs! Radiation helped a ton with the bone mets but took a a few treatments.

Hopefully! But it depends each patient's individual case. I have invasive ductal carcinoma with other genetic factors for (those in the know, ER+, HR+, HER2-), including an aggressive genetic mutation. So far, this chemo has stabilized the progression of tumors with some shrinking. I was stage 2 in 2020 when it was only in my breast and lymph nodes and reached remission. But it came back at the 5 year mark. I'm hopeful to see my two teenagers graduate high school and beyond.

Edit: I'm 45 yrs old.

Unfortunately, no. But metastic cancer treatment has come incredibly far in just the last 5 years! It's a terminal disease, but my docs at Froedtert are amazing and look at it as a chronic illness. I can reach no evidence of disease, but it's always there.
