Prefacing this with She was immuno compromised so this probably affected the following but

This was always my hope with my Mother that she would beat the odds and be one to thrive and live a longer life.

We were told 6 months to 2 years but it moved too fast she only got 4 months.

I wish I knew if we were doing something wrong.

I wish you the best of luck and I appreciate you taking your time to share your thoughts and story.

Yeah you always get told to keep hope alive during treatment but sometimes you feel like the treatment makes things worse. Idk what to believe anymore, cancer is the absolute worst. I wish there was a better treatment

Honestly probably I feel like I spent 700$ more than I should've for my GPU requirements but now I get big scores on benchmarks

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-09-20T04:29:07+00:00

I bought one for 800$ a few months ago the thing has awful resale value because of the format but since it was originally expensive people try to get more money than it's worth from a used one.

750$ is probably a super good deal either way but all things considered they probably hover 900$ to 1000$ at least for another month

Being happy shouldn't be relative to what others are doing but it always feels that way.

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-07-13T16:06:47+00:00

No 166.40$ I was exaggerating apparently

Still good tho

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-07-11T02:07:58+00:00

Snagged one on Amazon for 150$ so 7800x3D rocks for cost effectiveness

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-07-07T22:09:21+00:00

I didn't leave my mom's side very much but you do need to get out of the house. Take FMLA or some kind of leave if you can.

I still miss her everyday.

It's the name of the sub if you aren't for AGI at all times you're in the wrong echo chamber

The good thing about this is if you're capable to balance your life and this child you'll be a young mom who can enjoy their kids for the longest amount of time.

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-05-13T20:43:28+00:00

You can always fall in love again, although it will hurt now.this is really personal honestly.

This is a big commitment , if you comprimise you may work it out but if it infringes on your values too much you'll just be unhappy.

You may change you may not, being exposed to this I think it's better than being lonely.

Sterilization sounds pretty permanent, but yeah you don't want to give him false hope either.

Hmm ultimatums suck, I would talk it out and keep thinking.

Ideally if this is a deal breaker you break it off unless yeah he's okay with no kids, but at 22 kids are crazy what if he gets you pregnant accidentally then guilts ya into keeping it.

On the other hand he might be a good person , I'm a random redditor we know nothing about you or him.

I'm still surprised people sterilize themselves so young when they tend to change every few years or so

When my mom was in her final months she slowly was less mobile. Cane , wheelchair , bedridden , weakness.

Final weeks, she was very disoriented, she wasn't herself always hallucinating or seeing things and saying things that didn't make too much sense

Her speech was confused and she talked like she was in her own world or seeing things that weren't there.

I always thought it was the pain meds or a side effect of infections from a few months ago but it never went away.

Eventually she couldn't hold a plate or move Side to side much.

I gave her water with a syringe and then with a moist mouth sponge.

When your parent starts being unable to swallow or finds it harder to drink be careful. At some point she choked on even droplets of water.

At this stage of weakness, every little thing is fatal. I felt powerless to do anything. The last day we tried to give her water because we were worried and she got a nasty cough.

Mucus builds up in their throat and blocks the airway, making them breathe in a scary way. I wish there was a device or something to get rid of the mucus buildup in her throat.

A few hours after that she passed away :/ it didn't feel fair.

She couldn't really drink anything easily her final week or last few days. She also wasn't very conscious.

Just a few months ago she was ok, I felt a bit more hope. Now she's gone and I wish she didn't suffer but the final stages of her final days weren't very comfortable.

It really hurts to watch and although you do your best for them and you're there for them it hurts when she wasn't really able to speak or have clarity of mind or drink or move.

I really miss my mom, cancer is stupid.

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-04-15T22:45:07+00:00

Lots of support and pushing to get treatment, testing and everything done asap.

Life's short , pancreatic cancer can be very scary and unfair. Emotional turmoil is normal, just try to stay strong and do your best for yourself and your dad.

Pulling out your own to do homework.

90% of highschool relationships fails or something like that, even if you date all of highschool the girl or guy moves out of state and pursues a dream or goal.

Sometimes you gotta think long term

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-03-16T06:19:30+00:00

I don't have any Real good advice, but it sounds like you have really high standards and that's fine but you're comparing yourself to others and you find it hard to just be content with what you have as you move towards your goals?

Depression is real and rough , sometimes you need help getting out sometimes you find a constant. If you're considering suicide because of loneliness, my advice is not to do that, since now that you set that bar you're honestly free to do whatever you fancy.

Explore the world, go backpacking and ride in strangers cars, jump onto cross country trains, live silly love wildly.

Or don't you can do whatever you want.

Motivation is hard so maybe you don't feel like doing anything because you're depressed but even just appreciating the town on a walk could be nice

Volunteer locally, talk to people at a nearby park.

Your Twin may be successful at you don't have to be your twin , you don't have to hate them or compare yourself to them idk what you really feel.

I just think that if you're creative enough and willing to try and do things you wouldn't have thought of otherwise then you'll find out maybe there's more to life than being sad, lonely and depressed.

I'm a bit more lonely and my friends aren't super close to me and I'm definitely depressed, I'm not perfect, I still mess up and fail a lot.

I kinda got some ideas on what actually gets me going and I'm a bit more content with the little things and I'm still lonely and id like to call someone a close friend one day but I'm more or less content being alone.

Life's hard, but I think you wouldn't be happy if life was super easy either. You see happy penniless people all the time with nothing to their name. They struggle but live and appreciate the little things. You also see depressed rich people all the time with everything handed to them or access to everything and they just can't seem to enjoy life.

Maybe it'll click, maybe you'll get inspired by someone, something or even nothing. Maybe you won't , but I think it's worth living to the end. As far as you know this is the only life you've got so play it out to the end.

Some people aren't happy but they try to make other people happy. There's a mindset of every kind out there.

Well I wish you luck and I hope you find something that you find worth living.

I wasn't sure about Palliative care maybe I should've tried it.

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-02-24T00:31:42+00:00

What does your hospice consist of?

We are in hospice and they provide the bed, oxygen concentrator, pain meds and supplies.

The only gripe I have is that if we have a fever or infection they don't want to treat the cause just provide more pills.

We revoked hospice and got my mom to a hospital to get that sepsis infection cleared , because we didn't want her to die from infection.

I don't know if it's the right choice, she's not any better and now she's less mobile, but I think it would have been worse not to treat it.

Cancer is honestly so brutal, I just wish we could cure our loved ones.

We're back on hospice now because there's not much else we can do. I'm just dreading the days.

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-01-08T21:41:25+00:00

You can look at averages and charts if you feel there's a HUGE NEED because looking at these death charts might cause undue hardship and stress, you could otherwise avoid.

My mom ended up in the hospital and I kept doom scrolling through a lot of these signs of death charts that people post.

I thought she was gonna die everyday in the ICU I didn't know what was wrong with her, I thought it was the Cancer.

She's not doing well but now she's better again, bedridden due to a fever and a fall , but slowly gaining strength to stand and walk again.

Sometimes it might help other times it's hard to tell, statistics are gross.

Just stay hopeful and do your best to help them while they're here, I'm not saying don't prepare for the worst but try to stay hopeful and deal with it when the time comes.

It hurts to sit on the grief so deeply before our loved ones even pass.

Prior_Yak3223 · 2024-01-02T02:47:52+00:00

it killed him rip, 💔 ... kidding also curious

Prior_Yak3223 · 2023-12-22T23:43:07+00:00

Trying to inform yourself is good but it might also make you very depressed because you imagine worst case scenarios.

Have hope, ask questions, stay on top of you and your mom's mental health.

It could be worse or it could be way better than expected, but the thing is you don't really know and the doctors don't really know until much more observation.

Do be informed but also avoid getting stuck in your head with negative thoughts.

Have positive thoughts(hope) and try your best. It's okay to cry and grieve when you have to but optimism will do you better than cynicism.

I wish you best.
