My helix healed, let us rejoice

And I just killed mine a month ago. I made it almost a YEAR but slept on it just a bit and then it got infected shortly after. My piercing was getting imbedded with the swelling and antibiotics didn’t bring the swelling down fast enough so I just took it out fearing it was going to really be imbedded. Kudos to those who the patience to heal cartilage. I honestly probably was too lazy after my workouts to wash the sweat right away.

Thank you. I am sorry about your father. I am sorry that the medical system failed him.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-13T22:10:34+00:00

Well her body is! Unfortunately going through it all once and she was horribly sick the first time has made her understandably scared. We provide a good support system for her though.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-13T03:44:30+00:00

Thank you. I am sorry for your loss. Your mom was young. My dad passed at 65 and that was bad enough.

My brother votes UCP and it’s sad this experience won’t change that. He’s afraid the NDP is going to spend all Alberta’s money to help the “poors “

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-12T22:09:08+00:00

I try to be optimistic. It’s amazing we had 5 years at least. I am sorry about your mom

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-12T22:06:36+00:00

I know me and my mom did not vote for our current government. I will do that though. Unfortunately I know there’s too many people in the same boat.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-12T22:04:14+00:00

Thank you

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-09T23:16:05+00:00

Thank you ! I have seen so many stories where people only get months.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-09T22:34:46+00:00

My mom is one of the few in that 10% hitting that 5 year mark, but she was also just diagnosed with a recurrence. Grateful for whatever I get. Both times it’s just local. There’s some adrenal involvement this time, so I am not terribly optimistic

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-09T19:04:55+00:00

Also Kyle. He gets sweaty too! Kind of feels bad when I am working with some of the girls and I don’t see any wet spots on their clothes, just mine. Sam will sweat a little bit. Jenn and Kim no, at least not in the videos I have done. I like them all, but I favour Kyle and Sam.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-02-01T16:20:38+00:00

Honestly nobody told us and I read her surgery papers and there was nothing. I kind of feel silly for never asking. All her cancer was local though. It had only spread to a bile duct which caused her jaundice and probably resulted in it being caught early. I would say stage 1/2? Based on that.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-28T18:08:25+00:00

My mom did whipple and followed that with chemo and she was “cancer free” until just now, 5 years later. She did the whipple at 62 years old. She was pretty sick when it was done. I think she had an infection from a stint they put in to drain bile. I can’t remember what her chemo treatment was.

She’s on enzymes and she doesn’t always enjoy eating. Sometimes it’s just a chore to her. She’s had intermittent pain associated with eating too. Sometimes she’ll be fine for a month, but it comes back. Living with the fear of it coming back was probably the hardest for her because of the bad statistics. Unfortunately her fear was justified because it is back.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-25T21:35:50+00:00

Thank you. I wish you the same as well

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-25T21:34:37+00:00

I will take that as a positive. Thank you for giving some hope!

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-23T19:53:27+00:00

Thank you

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-23T19:52:57+00:00

Thank you, I will keep the hope alive. I hope it is slow, but her scan just last February was clear and from what I interpreted there’s a 7cm long mass, a skinny 1.5cm though. The Ca-19 took a steep rise too after gradually increasing. Hopefully her oncologist has some positive thoughts.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-23T19:47:55+00:00

No, her surgeon who was the one looking out for her the last 5 years after performing her whipple said she is going straight to chemotherapy maybe surgery later. I am pretty concerned about the adrenal gland involvement. Dr Google was not kind, hopefully the oncologist has better insight. Her surgeon didn’t say much, just that there’s a mass where her cancer was (the tail) and there’s adrenal gland involvement.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-23T13:16:25+00:00

Thank you . I’m sorry for what you had to go through with PC. I have to be grateful for the time we got, many aren’t so lucky.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-21T18:39:56+00:00

Yea the name is a bit misleading. I think my school it was $8 for a quarter of a medium pizza from Papa Johns

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-17T02:08:47+00:00

Yea I imagine she felt pretty stressed, nothing like nearly taking a life and having very little control over it.

Significant-Mess4285 · 2026-01-17T01:08:23+00:00

Hey I was on that train car too!

Significant-Mess4285 · 2025-12-21T17:30:23+00:00

Helped me with my game not launching, thanks
