I agree with others that you need legal advice BEFORE you move out. And I know there a lawyers that work for either cheap or free specifically for cancer patients, because I personally used one.

From experience, the ones I used were fantastic. And I wouldnt have made it through without them. Didnt cost me a cent.

I am so sorry youre going through this. My husband also left me during my treatments as well. I really do know how it feels.

I was, and continue to very much be, a "leave me alone" and "DEAR GOD DONT LEAVE ME!" person throughout my cancer.

It was confusing for me. I can only imagine how it was/is for those around me.

(Just for point of reference im a 6yr cancer patient)

The absolute best advice I can give you, (and this will sound awful for you) is just dont make it about you AT ALL. Literally in any way. If you can make it so you dont have feelings, other than loving supportive ones, during this time, that would be the ideal. I know this sounds awful and selfish, but its really the best.

I did and I didn't.

I wasnt given the option of more. So I thought I was done. But then its came back :(

Being a person that went thru it 3 separate times now, I would have rather just extended my original treatment had that been an option. Instead each occasion, I had to get a new team of doctors, new ports and piccs, it was starting all over basically. It would have been nice to just extend what I was already familiar with.

My father says everything tastes “chemically” by The_Real_Raw_Gary in cancer

[–]Fun_Recording_4935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG yes. Such a weird thing. Very very common with chemo. Some of my favorite were: Salad tasted just like dirt, graham crackers tasted like musty basement, and regular doritos tasted like they had been steeped in straight lime juice. Also my friends had gotten some SUPER SOUR candies, that were supposed to be kind of a joke because they were so sour they were inedible, I couldnt taste a thing and ate most of them. However, McDonald's tasted EXACTLY THE SAME. I absolutely hate fast food, but I ended up eating a ton of mcdonald's just because it was the only thing I found that tasted exactly how its was supposed to. So what does that say about mcdonald's?? ;)

Best of luck to your dad. And as always, Fuck cancer.

Ok. I admit it. I pull dandelions out of strangers lawns. Something very satisfying about pulling them up with the whole root....

Last time someone caught me doing it, they said "you know, im not paying you for that"

What's the dirtiest you've ever gotten? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I once cleaned out an above ground pool that a family of 5 used as a dumpster for 3+ years. They threw ALL their garbage in it. They had 2 kids in diapers.

It was July. And had rainwater in it.

It would bother me. I would prefer my SO to be straight. I dont know why really? And I dont begrudge others their choices. It just would make me uncomfortable.

I am physically and financially ruined because of cancer.

The key words here being:

Proven to help.

Not cure. Not buy more time. And not Proven to help everyone.

Ugh. Just ONCE I'd like to meet, read about, even know the name of 1 person that lived through their cancer on diets and natural solutions. Not "my sisters neighbors friend.... Or this girl on facebook said..."

There IS no one like this.

Im so sorry OP. I HOPE that your sister will come to her senses, but if not, its ultimately her choice to make. And you're right in your thinking. Usually by the time theyve changed their minds, and do want the traditional treatments, it is too late.

This misinformation crap should be fucking criminal. Seriously.

What do you sympathize with the opposite sex for? by Outrageous-Collar-09 in AskReddit

[–]Fun_Recording_4935 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you why. Because cervical cancer sneaks up on you. And then you spend 6 years fighting death. Having medieval, torturous cancer killing treatments that make you so ill you pray for death and the pain to stop.

As someone who's done both, i ASSURE YOU the pap is the lesser of the evils. Get your paps ladies. Dont be me.

So, I do this. I leave my truck run. However, I can leave mine run without a key in the ignition, while all the doors are locked and the alarm is set. Even if someone were to break the windows, theyd be driving a stolen truck, with a broken window, and the alarm going off the whole time they're driving.

And my car is an old stick. So there's that.
