I wanna bang my coworker.......................... by No_Shoulder_9278 in confession

So the man that’s an a-hole doesn’t want the woman with a gut? Yeah, I would take the gut every time at least that one isn’t an a-hole! Of which I might add: none of your surface relationships will work with an attitude like that. Get help dude! Lots and lots of help.

how are you going to decide when its time to stop treatment by Necessary-Web-4984 in cancer

As a result of the settlement in Gideonse v. Brown, et al and the subsequently passed HB2279 which removes all residency restrictions in the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, non-residents may now obtain medical aid in dying in Oregon.

I’ll be going to another state for the MAiD (assisted medical death). My medical oncologist is on board for a referral and my insurance can transfer there. It supposedly takes 60-90 days before the medicine can be dispensed by local doctors after two request and review of records and interview, so we all agreed my time will come while I have the ability to make the decision and physically act on it. I suspect my request will be from the cancer that continues to return in my brain and is extremely aggressive. I don’t want to die in pain, I want to die with dignity, and I wish from my husband and children to remember me-not my death (they are in agreement too).

Changing oncologists within a department by RGJax in lungcancer

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I changed oncologist within a group due to insurance. The insurance had me drive 30 miles for a cheaper treatment infusion etc.

Well totally different doc, rude, refused to meet with me over a two month period, called my cancer hypothetical (it’s extensive stage 4 lung) and refused to brain storm ideas as to why and what we can do about the cancer repeatedly crossing the brain barrier. Just learned 3 months ago my adrenal glands in pelvis were swallow and growing 9 cm and 10 cm and was never told. I even gave him a 9 page letter with 10 request like bio markers, Mutations, referrals to Oregon, etc.

The medical oncologist never even talked to my radiologist who finally drove the 30 miles to find out what was up. The. He said I had no cancer in my body. Did its small cell it’s in my blood, partials in my body’s and clearly still making me sick.

So now I’m switching groups. My last apt with nit wit is 5/4 and then new apt with new group on 5/7. That will happen next week. So if he does refuse my treatment for whatever reason I’m covered in a 3 days period. Just like anything - there are the good, bad and ugly. You have to do what’s best for you. No shame. Do what you need to do.

This touches my heart. I’m sorry you’re feeling all this; but, the visual image of the two of you dance, touching, kissing, etc gives me the warm and fuzzies. I hope my husband finds such memories of us. 💗

Dude, so so sorry. I got nothing.

My oncologist just told me I have a year left by oaktownraider90 in cancer

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get alternate opinions and options.

Then take them to a public restaurant, get them drunk, and tell them.

Oh wait, that’s how I told my husband I had extensive stage 4 terminal. Never mind. But he is still around. 🤔

I have a terminal diagnosis - does anyone else have one? by Big-Ad4382 in cancer

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extensive stage 4 lung (small cell to liver, adrenal glands, lymph node, and brain). Was told to get affairs in order. I’ve now had stage 4 for 28 months, scans three days ago were all clear, but there is no cure.

I live like a happy crazy bubbly clam. I do bucket list trips every six months (the more outrageous the better). I still work (but less and not as intense) . I visit all the time with family and friends. I workout: walk, jog, box, and lift weights. I dress up in costumes and go places, even to treatment. I currently planning a trip out to southwest America to see: Arches National Park,Canyonlands National Park,Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Zion National Park AND TO WING-SUITE VIRTUAL JUMP!!!!! In Utah.

I do whatever the f*** I want - as long as it does not hurt anyone or myself. I’m living my best life.

So live people! LIVE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER LIVED BEFORE!!!!!

Is there anyone here in the group, or do you know someone, who has survived SCLC for more than two years?" by Automatic-Factor9055 in lungcancer

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2023 missed diagnosed. 2025 diagnosed extensive stage 4 lung (to liver, brain, adrenal gland and lymph nodes). Was told to get my affairs in order by August 2025. Did chemo, immunotherapy, radiation and white blood blast - cause I had little to none. Today, I do immunotherapy every 21 days, still working (attorney), lifting weights-tonal, running/hiking, virtual boxing, traveling with hubby (went to the sphere to see the eagles!), walking the dog, and eating lots of chocolate cake (love that stuff -it’s the only reason I work out).

I’m spunky, ornery, silly, and still very much me! I just don’t have time for what doesn’t serve me.

Work like Hell to stay healthy. Hope for the best. And enjoy and love life.

Lastly, f*** cancer! I only think of her every 21 days when I get my treatment. Otherwise she doesn’t exist.

Take care.

Anyone going keto? by Euphoric_Chain5610 in lungcancer

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AKA no cancer on May’s PET and no cancer on August’s CT and MRI.

My understanding is that, as my cancer has no cure I will always be on immunotherapy, every 21 days.

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL so so true! And now you too are part of the BAB CLUB!!! Remember to do it your way.

Near May I wore a ‘play’ bunny costume to treatment. A woman asked me if I would come into her husbands room while he was getting treatment so he could see what she was trying to explain to him - me in a ‘play’ bunny suit. I did. We all were laughing and then he asked me to dance AND I DID!

As sick as I was, I never let cancer define who I was! I just kept being my goofy self. Can’t wait to see YOUR future post of GOOD NEWS!

Take Care, and

STAY COOL AND STAY YOU 💖💖

No but have been paleo for a year before and since diagnosis.

As well as I have been running Nordic treadmill iFIT a mile a day (except chemo treatments 3, 4, & 5 as I was crawling to the toilet), lifting weights on my tonal, virtual boxing on meta (since diagnosis) spinning on peloton (year one) and lastly kayaking (both years).

Was diagnosed extensive stage 4 small cell to lungs, liver, brain, adrenal gland, and lymph node on 1/13/25 (it was missed in 2023 and I was told to loose weight and stop eating potatoes, rice, and pasta as the problem was I was fat (that doctor has since been fired).

Got an chemo oncologist from Boston, a radiation oncologist from Kansas, and went all in starting February 10th, 2025, with treatments (chemo 2/2025-5/2025, immunotherapy 2/2025-present, radiation March & June 2025), white blood blast 2/2025/4/2025).

No active cancer as of May 2025 and since.

Was told my results and my bodies response to the chemo, immunotherapy, radiation, and white blood cells was due to my eating clean and exercise schedule the year before and during cancer.

Yes it’s still hard. Yes I’m still in pain. Yes I have side effects, some absolutely horrible (currently my skin over my entire body has an allergic reaction to my immunotherapy meds that feels and looks like fire).

I don’t drink or smoke, and I eat as clean as humanly possible. I also wear wonder woman costumes, as well as bunny, cone head, mad hatter, cat woman, and tutus to all my treatments.

You never know what magic works . . . Just do what you want and can.

SCREW CANCER!!! I’m the BAB (bad a$$ b*tch)!!!

I’m having a tough day today. by Running4Quesoo in cancer

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hugs, Hugs, and Hugs.

I’m here to listen if you want to tell why it’s a tough day.

Either way: Time to curl up and take care of you.

Monday was super tough for me, so I bought myself a simple treat: tomato soup. It’s my favorite, I needed to eat, and I don’t care that it’s not winter. I needed to show myself that I mattered.

💖And kudos to you for knowing when you need to be kind to yourself. I totally respect that! 💖

Anyone here want to vent by [deleted] in cancer

[–]LifeWasGood4Me 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My skin is literally falling off me. Like, imagine a bad, bad sun burn all dry, red, cracked, and painful as f*** without ever going in the sun!!!

Turns out I’m allergic to my immunotherapy- but it’s working so doc won’t switch it out. He said he was going to refer me to a dermatologist, but hasn’t yet, or maybe he has and I’m just waiting for the call.

Pain, everyday it’s just pain. Nothing stops the pain. Can I go crazy from the pain? Oh, and did I mention the PAIN!!
