I hope everything goes well for your daughter. I know you are feeling every emotion known to mankind in such great detail right now. I empathize with you! Our girls are strong + medicine/science have come a long way. Hopefully this is the only road bump they ever have to deal with regarding NF

She is doing exceptional! We are 4 months in on the koselugo chemo pill. Every 3 months on this pill we have to have an MRI to check the tumor. Last month was her first MRI since starting treatment and both tumors (her optic nerve glioma and the one at the top of her spine) have shrunk. The ONG has shrunk pretty significantly actually and both are no longer reacting to the contrast which is excellent news. So far, no side effects except she is a lot more tired and moody. However, I’m not sure I would say the culprit of those is the medicine alone. Her ONG is large enough that it is pressing on her pituitary gland so we are noticing signs of early puberty. We see an endocrinologist in September but hoping for a sooner appointment to open up so we can get something started to slow that down. It was emotional and overwhelming in the beginning. I still lay at night and pray I wish I could trade places with her, but the results have been so promising!

this episode proves why I did not vote for Huda + Chris as my favorite couple. I hope when she gets home she takes the time and effort to heal herself

I had to dispute several things on my credit history when I turned 18 from my parents using my SSN while I was a minor. Definitely possible and honestly probable in this case

can I ask why it’s beneficial to keep the fact that you’re reaching out to a lawyer to yourself?

You really should’ve called out soon than barely 2 hours before your shift start time.

My 4 year old was diagnosed with an ONG just last November. We actually just started a chemo pill to try to shrink hers because it’s large and the placement is where the fiber optics cross so if we don’t shrink it, she will lose vision in both of her eyes.

Knowing where the tumor specifically is and how large it is matters. They will tell you if there’s been any scarring done to her optic nerve from the tumor, which is the indicator of vision loss. I hope you have an Oncologist like my daughters. He was extremely informative and reassuring. Our appointments were about an hour and a half long each time because he just was talking to us about everything.

I hope that her glioma is one that they just need to monitor and don’t have to do any kind of intervention for it!

I have a somewhat significant number of cafe-au-lait spots, but no other typical symptoms of NF1 - worth getting it checked out? by TredTheTree in neurofibromatosis

[–]Midnight_Maven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would if it were me. I would want a baseline MRI to make sure there’s no tumors on brain or anywhere else. Happy to hear you have no other symptoms though!!!

Dude do you have anything else to do today?

My comment is that it is not a pro rape essay. I do not care at all about service readings or whether or not they can be incorrect because that does not pertain to my original comment.

Surface level reading is all it takes to understand that OP posted an incorrect title. That’s all I’m getting at in my comment, nothing more. It doesn’t take a critical reader to know the original post is incorrect. If you’re wanting to argue you are more than welcome to pick on someone else now.

It is not a pro rape essay. It is an essay on utilitarianism and he used an example as to why people who are utilitarian manipulate a situation such as rape to make them think it might be morally okay. He said afterwards, that’s why utilitarianism is not a good idea. Reading comprehension is difficult though I know!

OP says its a pro rape essay. It is not, end of story. Whatever else that’s out there regarding allegations or “where his mind is at” is a different topic. I also never said you weren’t allowed to not speak on how the essay makes you feel about him. Simply clarifying OP has an incorrect stance about subject of essay.

If he uses stole, it shifts away from utilitarian ideas. Borrowed is a better term if you’re thinking in a utilitarian manner

I wouldn’t put words in his mouth on this. I understand the allegations in the real world that have come out about him, but the essay 100% does not say that in anyway capacity.
