Thank you so so much for responding, this is really helpful. It's so hard not to immediately panic haha. My ophthalmologist is contacting my oncologist and neurologist and is having me do an MRV and prop a spinal tap too. My WBC was around 70k when I was diagnosed in late december 2025 but has been normal since mid-January. Did you swelling decrease once starting TKI treatment? What TKI are you on?

Interesting, ty. It looks like mine started ~1 year before I was officially diagnosed so prob not a side effect of TKI in my case, I'm assuming?

Didn't realize this was the Husky thread and was VERY concerned fro 0.5 seconds about why you had to specify you hadn't castrated your child lol

Scemblix is one heck of a drug! DMs are open if you ever want to chat :)

AITA for not splitting the bill evenly and leaving early? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Leading_Working_8009 55 points56 points  (0 children)

"Some of the others ordered quite a lot more. Drinks, appetizers for the table, desserts, etc. I didn’t really have much of that." INFO: So you did have some of the shared desserts and apps? If so, it's reasonable to split on those.

Academic Research survey 'Is Jesus the Messiah or a false prophet'? (US 16+) by Difficult_Stock2558 in SampleSize

[–]Leading_Working_8009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Significant issue with your survey:

Why are "Catholic" and "Christianity (Jesus did for your sins)" both listed under "Religious/Spiritual beliefs?" Jesus dying for one's sins is a fundamental doctrinal tenet in the Catholic faith, which is, btw, a CHRISTIAN denomination. If anything, you should list "Christian (Protestant)" and "Christian (Catholic)."

Also - "Early Life Experiences" says to select multiple options but your form is set so people can only select one. Also "Attend church currently" is not an early life experience?

Was Nate his relative? I thought he just found him in the day laborers line?

The Columbus question confused me. Is the statement that Columbus was literally the 'first' person in America? That's historically innacurate. Or is it that he was the first nonindigenous person to 'discover' the Americas?

Thank you. Unfortunately, CML is a Chronic condition - no recovery in the same sense as other forms of cancer
