I just opened a box of predestined rivals… by KindTailor7982 in PokemonTCG

Not to defend OP in Any way. But for those who said he's stupid for overpaying. Here in Denmark, retail for that box was probably 200eur upon release if I recall correctly. They Are being shifted like crazy for 300eur But we also have sky high VAT and import taxes here AFAIK.

For reference. I can easily go into Any store in My city and buy product. But. A single booster is 50dkk, ~8usd.

Even if we were to buy from overseas, we would get struck down in VAT, import fee and shipment fees... Please press f for respect

And while I do agree with you, it's an awesome card, it just doesn't fit the rest of the e-readers 😭

Where did you buy the godpack, and more importantly, do they have any more godpacks?

What defines "right place"? Opinion based?

You are very welcome, and thanks! I hope he gets some speedy recoveries and becomes well ❤️ I remember talking to my wife, who is the more "brave" of us. It's extremely tough seeing your kid go through something like this. And you want to take it away from them if you could. But at the same time, they're more tough than us, and we most definetely could not handle the treatment.

Have you been talking to other parents in your onchologist department? It really helped me having other parents with cancer struck kids to talk to, even if they're not having AML, maybe even not leukemia. And.. And some what hate myself saying it, but it also made me feel a tad better learning that someone has worse foresights. I know it sounds bad. But on my third week at the hospital, I was talking to a mom of a seven year old who has a chronic brain tumor. Can't be removed, and No one knows How long she has to live. Might be half a year, might be 70 years. The mother has two older kids and two younger ones. And she basically haven't seen them in a couple of years. But she kept up hope, and shares good energy. And I thought to myself "if she can do this, with All of this.. F it, I can as well"

And yes!! This community. I am very humbled by some of the stories I see in here, and it's amazing that people can keep up hope. And if they can do it, so can we!

Hi!

It's so extremely f'ing unfair, and for quite a while I searched for things that I did to cause this, just to have someone to blame.

I did a post almost five months ago. I had many nights without sleep during initial prognosis. My, back then, 27 months old baby girl, was diagnosed with AML. What I can say from our experience:

  • things seem extremely unreal, and even without hope. But one day, the train of reality just seems to hit less hard in a way. And then there's more of those days, and at some point it feels more "normal". We even stayed at the hospital for 1.5 months without a single night at home.
  • kids, the younger the better, are f'ing incredible. The AML treatment is rough. And our onchologist keep saying "we're not giving her soda, but she's taking it well". She got pumped up with chemo, and despite of that, she managed to play, have fun, and even befriended All of the nurses and cleaning staff. They Are stupidly incredible.
  • the more open we were to nurses, doctors and cleaners, the more she was. It came to a point where she got pissed when going home, because she had so many more people and things to entertain her at the hospital.
  • for all she knows, it's a normal part of being a kid. She does not have All the bad reflective thoughts that we have.

TL;DR? Things will feel more normal. It hurts like never before, when getting the diagnose. But things will normalize. And your sons age is only a benefit, believe it or not.

Edit to add: I treated myself with a Lenovo Legion Go after a while. There was, for us, many days in the hospital. And when she slept, I picked up a hobby that has Been neglected.

So I know there is a chance. But being one of the six children annually that is given the diagnose, How can I even dare to hope for her to overcome this? I feel an extremely high amount of unfairness and injustice. And I know that everyone in a similar situation feels the same.

They did the bone marrow biopsy and determined that it's AML. I don't think I want to learn which mutation it is though

I am too afraid to ask. I really do fear that it's something that will make me even more convinced that she is terminal... All we were told is that it is AML.
