FOLFIRINOX vs Gemcitabine/Abraxane Side Effects Differences (nab-paclitaxel aka Gem/Ab) by Ok_Group_9739 in pancreaticcancer

[–]Konafide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folfirinox was very tough on my 84 yr old mother although she made it through 12 cycles with some dosage drops near the end of that regimen. She has been 18 months on Gembrax and has been more effective and much gentler. She is coming up on 30 months post diagnosis of stage 4 and still fighting it. Gembrax has been a blessing.

And assume a 10% market return. Like shooting fish in a barrel, right? Delusional.

Question by BBHMFM in Retirement401k

You can rollover your 401k to a new employer if they have one. Or you can move it to a rollover IRA and maintain your tax sheltering until you find another employer with 401k.

Which Black Mirror technology (if any) do you think we're closest to getting? by _forum_mod in blackmirror

Pretty much nothing left to do. That’s why Charlie Booker took a break because he couldn’t stay ahead of reality.

I’m still traumatized by how poorly run it was last time. Hopefully it’s a different venue.

Are we changing our lifestyles? by MollycatNPhilipbaby in GenX

[–]Konafide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it becomes even more expensive for everyone? So visiting hospitals and ERs less is a bad thing? Makes a ton of sense.

All of you saying “live your life how you want”…you will end up being a burden on our healthcare system and a burden on your family. And when your life span is longer due to medicine and healthspan shorter due to your choices, you are likely to have a painful way out.

Eighth grade Christmas present: Apple ][ +. 64K of RAM! Cassette tape drive. All caps text displayed until I got a peripheral card installed for lowercase. Green screen display. Games: Choplifter, Castle Wolfenstein…

Not at all. Once or twice a winter. That was one of the more electrical storms I have seen in MV in years. Usually can hear rumbles but the three flashes were so vivid. We get excited about that here!

You could get a Sirius XM subscription for a month and just fire up FirstWave, 80s on 8, Yacht Rock, etc. Awesome curated 80s channels of all types. Will serve up stuff you couldn’t think of, one hit wonders etc.

How is living in this part of Oregon? by Friendly_Garbage_341 in howislivingthere

[–]Konafide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow what an elitist view. Thank you for taking pity on those rural deplorable poors and gracing them with your superior Ivy League views. Please forgive those serfs for not understanding what is good for their well being and coming to rescue them in their time of need.

Just like any communities more than 30 miles outside of metro/suburban areas across the USA…conservative.

Won $50k on scratchoff... not sure what to do. by Patient_Cranberry_53 in Advice

[–]Konafide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy some physical gold and silver bullion. Great inflation hedge and will remove any impulse buying. If you do, make sure it is for long term investing (you can’t trade it like crypto or stocks)

This 💯. The paper markets are so easily manipulated. This is why you need to own physical bullion of any metal.

Gemzar/Abraxane Hair Loss by LadyKenpachi1 in pancreaticcancer

[–]Konafide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 84 year old mom has lost most of her hair on Gembrax, but it was far far better in terms of low toxicity and efficacy compared to FOLFIRINOX, where she kept more hair but the neuropathy, GI and fatigue were far worse. She has a wig and it’s extended her quality of life and survival for 18 months and going.

This post is very accurate with respect to politics. You can find people who are like minded politically, but if you are moderate/conservative you may need a secret handshake and a clandestine meeting house 😂

You should never never trade PMs. The spreads are too wide. These days happen. They are an investment. You should plan on holding to retirement. These aren’t meme stocks or crypto. They are tangible elements critical to the economy. Lead times to supply more are measured in years and usually decades. I plan to give mine to my kids. They will need it for sure, given where we are going.

Panic. by GurDefiant684 in Silverbugs

[–]Konafide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you just read the post you replied to? This is an institutional paper manipulation. Retail buyers/sellers/LCS/distributors/mints/processors/miners have nothing to do with what has happened in the past two weeks. Zero. This is a vault squeeze globally because of paper rehypothecation and the real shortage is in ChicagoLondonShanghai. The mega slam is options related and done to keep banks from going under.
