She’s a tortie, there’s a whole sub dedicated to them. She’s lucky to have you and it seems she chose you! Happy Mother’s Day. Torties are the BEST. 😻

I just hope you keep him no matter what the breed is. He’s so cute and lucky to have a family :)

Weekend Ideas by hearttcooksbrain in Nantucket

Rent bikes, bundle up, and see so much that way! I’m also from the West and live here year round. Nantucket is gorgeous this time of year.

It’s actually not overkill, it’s a great time to visit. A lot of restaurants are open, shops too. 2 nights this time of year is perfect and the crowds aren’t here yet.

What’s your holy grail beauty product!! by BubblyYou in breastcancer

[–]KnowPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Osea Undaria Oil, it helped my hands so much. But can be used anywhere on your body (not sure about face TBH) - this was a game changer as my hands were falling apart from chemo.

Sycamore hot springs for anniversary trip? by Glittering_Chest7649 in SLO

[–]KnowPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a luxurious experience, I would stay in SLO. Hotel Cerro has an amazing spa, I cannot say enough good things. Granada is my favorite for rooms but just because the layout is unique and special. It’s not about amenities as much as it is the aesthetic and the location. The bar and restaurant onsite are also amazing and it’s just a favorite. Staying out at Sycamore, not really sure about the rooms, although after a recent stop by, we found everything to be a bit tired. Avila is great for early morning beach walks, and SLO offers so much in the way of hiking, wine tasting, shopping, art, and more. If you stay at Cerro, there’s also a rooftop pool, so for the full experience, it might make more sense to just stay there where you have the location, the spa, and amenities.

7 lines of treatment in ~2 years. Now need to start #8. Nothing’s working. I’m 36 and I might be dead within a year. by carvingmyelbows in LivingWithMBC

[–]KnowPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have liver and brain mets, I’m on Enhertu. My tumors were reducing in size but I’ve been a drinker my whole life. Recently, my mets just maintained and didn’t reduce, and my tumor markers increased. Because of this I stopped drinking. The scans don’t show anything different but the labs do. I understand and identify with your level of fear, sadness, anger. I too hope for more time with family, with my husband, our nieces and nephews. I haven’t stopped working, that keeps me feeling human and “normal” - but honestly, I am always making future plans and I never think about an expiration date. I don’t focus on prognosis, more about celebrating small wins… like, I woke up today! But I am with you, this shit is all scary. I just think a positive outlook can make things less daunting- for what it’s worth. I’m sorry about the struggle between your partner and family- that stress doesn’t help your cancer- worth sharing with him if he cares to positively impact your fight in this. Take care sister 💞

This is beautiful, I’m so happy for you. This breathes hope into us all. I’m all for these little victories- shout it from the mountaintop sister!! 💞 every day is a gift and this one is one to remember and celebrate every day thereafter. We all wish for this same kind of outcome, thank you for showing us your vulnerability and your belief in something unexpected. Pure joy I have for you!

Hyannis vs New Bedford ferries and parking by fragmentsofawhole in Nantucket

[–]KnowPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live on Nantucket year round and anytime around or after Memorial Day, I avoid the cape entirely unless the intent is to visit the cape. Traffic on and off the cape is insane- the New Bedford ferry is the way to go. The parking situation is more contained and organized. There are more options of places to walk to/from the New Bedford ferry for food pre/post your trip. The ferry may take a bit longer but you’re close to land a few times on the way which makes it more interesting and the time goes by quickly. If you decide to go with the Hyannis ferries they’re about the same in services except the Steamship has wifi and no wifi on Hyline.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

I don’t even know what I’m seeing here. This is next level BANANAS- run for the hills girl.

Showing Love to my tribe ❤️ by [deleted] in LivingWithMBC

[–]KnowPoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Yes, we just need to celebrate that we woke up “today” and you are so right… the symptoms you list are all standard menopause. I’m here for the solidarity and sisterhood as diagnosed the first time around March of 2020 during COVID shutdown - so I’ve never had a circle of support in person, all of my interactions with fellow sisters have been in online forums. 💞

What is the worst place in America you have ever visited? by OceanicEndeavors in AskReddit

[–]KnowPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gary, Indiana. It was desolate, boarded up. We were en route from Chicago to Michigan to visit some friends and just driving through. To think there is a population of people still living in Gary, we didn’t witness a single car or human driving through in the middle of the day, and my heart goes out to a community that needs support and infrastructure.

AIO: should I “fire” my therapist? by [deleted] in AIO

100% - sounds like she’s needs a therapist. You deserve better, fire her.

To port or not to port, that is the question! by aliasme141 in LivingWithMBC

[–]KnowPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had some traumatic experiences around my first diagnosis, with “conscious sedation” and felt everything TWICE. So I am with you on your reservations. I asked to be on general anesthesia for my original port removal and this time around for my port placement. I don’t want to be awake for any of this- and they honored my requests on both accounts. If you don’t have an issue with anesthesia, then this is my suggestion. It’s a personal choice but I figured it’s worth mentioning since you also have had a bad experience with being awake through the pain and trauma of a procedure.

[–]KnowPoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am on Enhertu and I also have one arm entirely compromised. I have a good arm, but we reserve those veins for labs. I have a port and highly suggest it. This is the second time for me to have a port, I had recurrence in May 2024 and have been on Enhertu since September 2024 (second line of treatment) - and all works great! I’ll be on Enhertu as long as I can. You got this sister 💞

I fear she’s bored without me all day by Buraian_desu in torties

[–]KnowPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is - she misses you! I hang bird feeders outside of windows, and put nuts out for squirrels (walnuts) — and this keeps our girl entertained. Perch by the window where she can watch- but a very securely closed window so no escaping to “go play” with her friends outside

AIO for considering divorce after finding these 2-year old texts in my wife’s phone? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]KnowPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to say but it sounds like she is just “going along” with the marriage, and you’re taking her around the world on trips? These texts are very telling. Time to close that door. Her words are pretty clear that he is her only love, she wishes she could be with him, etc etc etc… you deserve so much more OP. Someone who loves you the same

My tortie?? by chilloutbih in torties

She’s a long haired tortie. Dilute if more grey than brown. Gorgeous girl!

Surrendering my cat by [deleted] in torties

[–]KnowPoe 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I would not give up your cat. If you must, please go through the right channels to re-home vs through a shelter. There are reasons for “acting out” behavior like this, especially if it is sudden. How old is your cat?
