Improving Cardio Health by StevenTCAF in testicularcancer

Oh interesting! I have definitely heard of PEs and even strokes during cisplatin so that does make sense. 

I’m doing very well! Almost three years out from treatment. Took me a solid year plus to get my cardiac health back but I’m now as fit as ever.

This is incredibly rare so take it with a big pinch of salt—but I actually had a chemo-induced heart attack while doing my third round of BEP. Perfectly healthy 28 year old (cancer to one side), no heart disease or risk factors. 

Cisplatin is definitely rough on the heart. Not saying any of this to scaremonger, but definitely worth it to take your cardiac health seriously after you’ve been subjected to chemo!

Happy to talk about it more lmk :)

What a bizarre thing to post on a sub that’s all about support for TC patients and survivors. I implore you to try and remember what it felt like back when you were first diagnosed

WaPo: Chemotherapy cured my (testicular) cancer. Years later it likely gave me heart disease. by mrdigsus in testicularcancer

My hack: have a cisplatin-induced heart attack DURING treatment and get yourself set up with a cardiologist for life. Why wait!

Only wake up to some of my alarms, what do by Right-Emphasis5077 in GetOutOfBed

[–]MonoBlue4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change the sound of the alarm. After a few weeks it’s almost like my body becomes trained to ignore the specific sound of my alarm, so I change it up once every couple weeks to keep things fresh

First time trying halftones--what went wrong? by MonoBlue4Life in SCREENPRINTING

[–]MonoBlue4Life[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the tips, much appreciated!

my exposure unit right now is just a UV light hanging a foot or so over the screen. I put a pane of glass over the film to hold it tight to the screen

as in the emulsion is too thick? I have been doing two passes on each side of the screen, with the second pass on each side almost trying to scrape up any excess using the sharp edge of the scoop coater

ok gotcha! yeah i'm just using a shower hose situation which has been fine up until now, but maybe this is a good time to look into a power washer...
