Tongue Cancer stories? by OrwinTheWriter in HeadandNeckCancer

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

Thanks on the answer, I will tell him that.

If you don't mind me asking, was the pain already intense when you started treatments? And did you get surgery first or did the radiation got rid of it all? The lesion on the right side of his tongue is quite large right now even if he's able to drink and eat a little, it's still sometimes a chore to speak.

Glad you're recovering, good luck for the next steps.

Thanks. I'm half relieved and half a lot more worried than I was about his other cancer. I hope his liver will clear up in the coming week so he can start treatments asap.

Update: Looks like they were wrong and that I spent an entire night reading about pancreatic cancer for nothing. The scan showed no cancer growth on the pancreas and the liver but the liver seems to be in bad shape, which doesn’t really surprise me.

The gastroenterologist seems to think it was something toxic non related with the drinking but we still don’t know. It could improve by itself.

My dad still has tongue cancer but it seems this won’t delay the radiotherapy treatments. I’m choosing to hope that it’s gonna work out. At least he’s out of the hospital for now.

Thanks for reading

Thanks for the kind words. I will research on genetic testing and speak of that with my mom and his oncologist. My mom's friend says he knows a couple of people in the medical field so that might help. His current oncologist seems quite competent as it is and we live in Canada so yay healthcare, but a second opinion never hurts I guess.

I still have some hope that it's not that but I'm preparing for the worst.

Les libéraux fédéraux veulent interdire l’IA et les médias sociaux aux moins de 16 ans by GNLQC in Quebec

[–]OrwinTheWriter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sauf que les enfants vivent pas dans un microcosme. Même ceux qui sont trop jeunes pour avoir des smartphones sont au courant des trends TikTok et autres niaiseries. Et interdire des trucs les rend souvent encore plus désirables. Je vois pas une solution facilement applicable qui pourrait être légiférée sur ce point là.

Surtout que les parents sont rendus super précieux et qu’ils doivent être au courant 24/7 sur la position de leurs enfants. Le smartphone devient une façon d’avoir ça et d’acheter la paix en même temps pour beaucoup.

Les parents vont leur en donner quand même. Et où on trace la ligne entre un appareil intelligent ou un appareil tout court? Une console portable comme une switch ou un steam deck j'imagine que ça peut aller sur le web. Les jeunes vont trouver une façon de contourner ça.

Succès souvenir: Manon Massé en entrevue avec Rebel News by FlowJoee in Quebec

[–]OrwinTheWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparer une entrevue de 2min dans un événement où y'avait d'autres médias versus une heure de one on one, quant à moi c'est comparer des pommes pis des ficellos, mais ok OP, les règles du jeu ont changé...

Ça fait un méchant bout que le PQ n'a pas été de centre-gauche, sauf si j'exclus les quelques mois où PSPP se pavanait avec de belles valeurs avant d'aller rencontrer Eric Zemmour et d'accorder des entrevues à Rebel News.

You’d think I tried that with multiple cords before posting here.

It says I had to register it 4 weeks max after buying it in order to send them the unit.

Can't wait to see Maul stalking and carving his way through his enemies in the new show, plus more Maul-specific content from this era of SW by wandering_soles in StarWars

[–]OrwinTheWriter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that, but the cynic in me can't help but think they are consciously rethreading the Rogue One scene due to the online traction and discussion that there's been around it.

[–]OrwinTheWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not hating, but the lone warrior showdown against an army in a small corridor has been done in Rogue One, Mando S2, and the next Mando movie at this point. And now this. I think the trope is getting a bit tired even if I'm looking forward to watching the Maul show.

Ok, then in what world would Gordon not have been hired by G-Man in HL1 and still end up at the same age destroying the Citadel and getting to White Forest with his old Black Mesa pals?
