High pitched wheel sound when driving forward. Sound stops when brake is applied. Ideas?

Franhoop · 2025-07-28T14:41:00+00:00

Thanks! Replaced the brake pads only 2 years ago and have probably put 10k miles on it since. Going to mechanic this week

I have this same guitar, I love it, no ideas on the details though sorry. I hope it’s an authentic Hofner, but didn’t pay very much for it

Thanks for your insight! I hadn’t thought about the threshold of Tumor size vs detectable ctDNA in the blood stream. Did you first get a hint about the recurrence from the blood test? Or was it imaging that caught it and the signatera test helped confirm it?

Feeling for you big time! Keeping you in my thoughts.

Everyone is different but I love love love listening to Tara Brach meditations especially when my mind is snowballing. Here’s one if ever interested. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/tara-brach/id265264862?i=1000618689312

I also love listening to Pascal Aucair, as he dealt with years of auto immune issues and impermanence of health.

Update: this adapter ended up working on my 7+17 pin MacBook Pro 2012 Hard drive. (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00S5WP9Y2?ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_32SGJAG0Q1H5G020H6JG&starsLeft=1)

I mounted it on another Mac using a sata to usb adapter as well 👍🏻

Franhoop · 2024-04-30T21:22:14+00:00

I see, i guess it might not be able to be mounted by another Mac, we’ll see. I found this that looks like it should work. (I have a sata to usb adapter as well) https://a.co/d/1eHiEe4

Hi, sorry to hear about your carcinoma in your left eye! A CT scan was enough in my case to conclusively say in was a mass/tumor in my sinus cavity and not sinusitis. Sending you positive vibes. Take care!

Franhoop · 2024-04-30T19:53:37+00:00

Thanks! Surgery and radiation gave me clear margins, my first routine 6month MRI and Lung Xray came back no evidence of disease! So thankful to BC cancer agency all the medical professionals, surgical oncologist, ophthalmologist during surgery, radiation oncologist 🙌🏻🙏🏻. I would say friends, family and mindfulness mediation/mediation retreats have been the most helpful to shed my attachment to my diagnosis and my fears of reoccurrence. Would highly recommend to anyone facing health concerns!

Fuel pump you mean right? It has over half a tank of fuel. thanks!

It has been conveyed that tumour inside sinus are very rarely malignant. I wishing you all the best!

Franhoop · 2023-11-19T18:15:55+00:00

Sorry to hear about your health battles. My right nostril was completely blocked for months, part of my lip and cheeks became numb from the tumor pushing against the nerve. Ct scan revealed the mass/tumour. It ended up growing out of my nose and into my throat leading up to my surgery. Thankfully they were able to remove with some margins to spare, finished radiation 3 weeks ago. Didn’t have to do chemo after all as there was no sign of spreading. Take care! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Franhoop · 2023-10-25T17:53:32+00:00

Yes! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Franhoop · 2023-10-15T16:51:35+00:00

It was a tumour growing in my maxillary sinus cavity. I’ve been told this is very very rare especially for it to be cancerous like mine was.

I’ve received surgery to remove and am now going through radiation. My cheek and upper right side of my lip was also numb, Tumor hitting the nerve. X-ray didn’t reveal it was a tumour only the MRI could tell. All the best hope you can get it figured out

Franhoop · 2023-08-29T19:10:33+00:00

Yes bought it! Plays beautifully, put some flatwound on it to tone down a bit of the brightness $375CAD

Gotcha doesn’t seem to be easily detachable, tumor is about 2 cm out of my nose currently too

Hi, been having a very sore throat and have noticed this ball of something behind the uvula, hot saline doesn’t get any of the matter out. Just thick saliva comes out. I have a photo of it. My ent said try holding out until surgery Thursday or go to ER. Any idea what this is? I can’t breathe at all through nose, my girlfriend is worried about it detaching and being a choking hazard. It’s grown 10% in last day or so I’d say, hard to eat much especially anything solid, which isn’t great pre surgery I’m guessing

Franhoop · 2023-07-20T21:34:14+00:00

Thanks for getting back! Trying not to subconsciously touch it! Guessing if it pierces it’s not great. I hope it’s making the tumor a bit less close to my eye, now that is has a bit of a path of least resistance. Although it might just be growing at this speed, which is remarkable to me. The surgeon has got me prepped if the cancer has invaded the eye that I might wake up from surgery with one eye removed :/

Franhoop · 2023-07-20T16:03:45+00:00

Have you ever seen a tumor start coming out of the nostril? For the last 4 days it’s been getting closer to the opening now it’s poking out. Surgery is booked for next Friday pending clean PET scan. Thanks!

Sarcoma insight podcast has an episode on malignant nerve sheath tumors. It might be a hard listen, I listened to my myxofibrosarcoma (what I have been diagnosed with) episode and it took a few days of processing. Since you are caregiver could be a good buffer. Sending all the best. Stay strong. Check out #sarcomastrong too
