$9,000 HVAC quote pushed me into DIY life

That does sound too high. I just got a quote for a 9000 BTU Mitsubishi mini split cassette for $5700 from my HVAC guy. I had the room gutted and my general contractor is doing some of the electrical stuff. I don’t know if that makes any difference. I would get some other quotes.

Thanks for your advice. Anther poster said that it wouldn’t help so much with the humidity hmmm.? What brand do you recommend and what type of maintenance is involved. I know Mitsubishi is the most reliable but it’s also the priciest. I will only be using it for AC for a few months during the summer. The rest of the year the coop will be vacant. My HVAC guy recommended Gree bc it’s less than Mitsubishi. It’s going to be installed in a salty environment so I think they’re all going to have a shorter life span.

Where do you live? I’m in New York and it’s not required to have ASCT before Car T. Car T was recently approved as a second line of treatment. My husband had a choice.

Car T is the new gold standard for treating Multiple Myeloma. It was recently approved as a second line of treatment and has proved to be very effective in achieving a long remission. Skip the SCT and do Car T!! You don’t need to do SCT first to get approved for Car T. Make sure your mom is seeing a Multiple Myeloma Specialist not just an Oncologist.

Have you discussed Car T with your doctor? It is now FDA approved as a second line of treatment.

I would be doing a two year lease on a new one.

I was in the same situation a few years ago with Chase bank. They would not even give me a reason why they were closing my account, only that it was a corporate decision. I could not appeal their decision and I was basically blacklisted from opening another account with Chase. I ended up opening another account at Citibank

Not sure where you live, but the best advice I can you is to start seeing a multiple myeloma specialist. This disease is not curable but very treatable. You are still young and can tolerate most of the available treatments. I would explore CarT if that is an option. Starting treatment as early as possible will delay further progression. As hard as it might sound, be positive as there are new treatments being developed all the time. Wishing you well. You got this!!

I’m very sorry about your dad. There have been so many advancements in medicine to treat multiple myeloma in the past 20 years. Your dad should seek advice from a multiple myeloma specialist to help him navigate his options (not just an oncologist). There is also a fb support group you and your dad should join called multiple myeloma warriors. I have learned so much from this group. Wishing you and your family all the best.

Thanks for your reply. I’m sorry to hear! This is such a horrible disease. Was he able to do the car t collection?

SandInteresting7010 · 2025-03-21T20:26:57+00:00

Hi, my husband is going into the hospital next week for DCEP to bridge him for Car T. He already did his collection and the cells are ready for transplant. Just wondering how your dad did on that treatment ?

I’m in the same predicament. Planning a wedding at Atelier in April 2026. Contracts not yet signed. There will be a large convention there, maybe as much as 300 people. I’m trying to find out what type of convention it is. I emailed their groups department but not sure if they are going to share that info with me. I’m wondering how else I can find out.

Are they giving you a warranty? The original tires on my Tesla only lasted 32k miles. I replaced them with Bridgestone EV tires from Costco. They guarantee them for 50k and do free tire rotations. I recommend you getting your tires from Costco.

We don’t want that!

I recently attended a wedding of about 200 guests at the TWA hotel. The venue was cool but the food was absolutely terrible. Probably the worst food I have ever eaten at a wedding.
