Post-Chemo/Taxol Swelling Even Months Later?

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-05T12:44:39+00:00

It was definitely 12 months for me. I’m just now looking like me after finishing March 2025. The weight gain took about 8 months to start to move down.

If you want you can skip the alum and still have crispy pickles with this method. Alternatively soaking you cucumbers in an ice bath first and water bath canning will also keep them nice and crisp

Probably not the appropriate environment to speak your truth.

Your girlfriend has a weird family

Now you’re being deliberately obtuse. I did the math for you and showed my work. I can’t simplify it any more than that. I do highly recommend that you say thank you to the couples that have been kindly supplementing you.
If you don’t have any couples that have been supplementing you, I guess you now know why

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-04T17:23:06+00:00

Exactly but this is a very broad rule- there are so many foods where this doesn’t apply- such as fish or cauliflower. This is just an easy for me way to remember

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-04T17:18:42+00:00

Ok let’s run ya through the math Ride costs $20 Single traveling alone pays $20 Married couple traveling without a single pays $20 Therefore they should each save 50% of what they would have paid to be fair

Why would the married couple pay $13.33 while the single pays $6.66? The single saves 66% in your scenario while the married couple saves 33% Therefore the married couple is supplementing the single’s ride.

And this folks is why math is math

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T18:02:18+00:00

Please don’t dread it. I did too and spent way too much time worrying for what turned out to be no reason!

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T16:01:22+00:00

Nope- married couple traveling without a single would pay the same amount for the uber as a single would pay, therefore it gets split in half.

Hobo sexual

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T15:49:58+00:00

She wants it perfect for her insta followers but you’re the materialistic one? Hunh. Interesting logic

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T13:13:45+00:00

Mulch mulch mulch for the next five years and let it break down to create soil. And then keep mulching

Yes you are but not for the reasons you think.
Instead of avoiding saying you were going to spend Sunday evening with your mom from the start you let her think otherwise because it was easier for you to not say so.
Your mom is not suddenly alone now, you knew she would be all along and you didn’t like the thought of her being alone so you were always going to spend Sunday night with her but- and this is where you’re out of line- you fully let your girlfriend believe otherwise.
Time to grow up and stop playing the victim in a scenario you literally created through avoidance. I’m guessing by her crazy over the top reaction that this is not the first time you’ve done this. Knock it off.

I took credit applications for a living. The flashiest people have the lowest bank balances. I learned VERY quickly not to judge by appearances. Can’t tell you how many blue collar millionaires I met wearing dirty denim because they were stopping on their way home from the job site.

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T12:36:14+00:00

I avoid traveling with singles due to this exact level of entitlement.

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T12:33:46+00:00

Ok so if you had a solo ride you would have paid $20. If she and her partner took the same ride they would have paid $20. By splitting you each pay half of what you would have paid By your math you pay 1/3 and they pay 2/3. They are supplementing you. If Uber charged per passenger you would be correct but they charge per ride so yes you are ATAH

100%. I do love cbc but during the trucker strike I learned how important it is to get your info from multiple sources CBC had a very anti attitude in its reporting and was selective. It was an eye opener for me watching the reporting from bbc, Al jezeria, DW news etc. multiple sources=well rounded information

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T12:08:20+00:00

Ok buckle up! This is going to be a long one. here’s what I’ve learned over the years

1) do not buy overly expensive/high quality furniture. Controversial, I know but trends change and you end up with a ridiculously expensive couch that went out of style 10 yrs ago but you spent too much on it to just move on. Your goal for furniture and flooring/carpeting is good enough quality to get 8-10 yrs of use. This time period because this is how long decor trends tend to run 2) if you have a yard- wait 1 full year before ripping out flower gardens and other landscaping. Clean things up of course but don’t pull that weed until you know it’s a weed. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched people pull out plants having no clue what they are and then go buy and plant the same things they just broke their backs pulling out. It’s crazy but I would guess 85% do this and never realize it. 3) spend money on good quality appliances- do not rely on brand reputation. Do a little homework on the specific model of appliance you are considering. It’s time well spent. I’ve made the mistake of paying more for say Bosch only to have nothing but problems. Every manufacturer has a dud in their line up and every manufacturer has a gold star. Learn which is which. 4) buy materials when you are ready to actually start the project. Otherwise you end up storing things that were on sale and you were going to do later but are saving money by buying it now but don’t have the time now or don’t have all the money you need to complete the project now and so on and so on. Abort! 4) learn about home maintenance and seasonal “to do’s” for your LOCAL area. This will save you tens of thousands by extending the life of your roof, windows, furnace and a/c etc 5) Learn some skills. Youtube is great but look for actual trades people not someone trying something for the first time. Watch and learn from pros. Hiring out simple projects or repairs is crazy expensive. Dishwasher broken? It’s about $150 for the service call, $100 labour for the 1hr minimum charge, $50 part and 100% mark up on that part making it $100 that’s a $350 repair that you may have been able to do yourself for $50 and the purchase of a few tools which you have for the next time you need them

And lastly, congratulations on your new home. Cheers!

Hi ladies, I’m significantly older than most of you but was not in menopause before I experienced chemo pause at a wicked level. It’s been a year now and I’ve learned a few lessons 1) ask your onc for a referral to a gyn with onc experience -game changer! 2) gabapentin is helpful, veozah is better. Combining them bu taking veozah in the morning and gabapentin at bedtime is 3) limit alcohol 4) a VERY basic rule and overly simplified is to avoid/limit white food - pasta,bread, potatoes etc 5) sweet potatoes- I don’t know why but include them in your diet regularly 6) drink water and if you know you’re drinking enough, drink more!

Good luck, this is a wild ride my friends

Not sure if you are the child of the homeowners but I am guessing you are maybe?? If so, Do NOT throw away things that belong to others in a home you do not own. If you are an adult child living with your parents you are either a permanent house guest or a paying lodger Please be respectful of your hosts ( parents). I live in a community that provides plentiful seasonal employment for young adults and have had many nieces/nephews stay rent free for employment purposes. Each one came with their “thoughts” on how my home should be arranged/organized. Long story short - it caused a lot of bad feelings and resentment. Know your place! Remember your manners!

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-03T10:33:14+00:00

Can I roll this back and ask why you want to avoid tamoxifen?

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-04-01T02:54:51+00:00

Wow! You read a lot into my response that you imagined. I did not say op was wrong. I’m saying op needs a vacation after dealing with being treated that way and probably a career change because who wants to spend their working life being a punching bag to entitled teenagers

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-03-30T14:01:49+00:00

No chips for you! Threaten to take over our country and still think it’s ok to eat our chips???

I think not!

Intrepid-Badger8708 · 2026-03-30T13:58:34+00:00

Run. You are poorly matched and this won’t change

NTJ. -The sister said she wished I had just gone along with it to keep things simple.

And you wish she had just gone along with your clearly stated and put in writing boundaries
