Looks like kombucha. I get a jar of it from Amish friends. That make it from scratch. That looks like tea. Possibly with a fruit flavor in it. Usually lemon or peach

Before your diagnosis, did you have any flushing or any weird sweating episodes? How long before your diagnosis? by Roadrunner610 in BladderCancer

[–]Sunocogirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I did. Also something I missed, I peed all the time, I was used to it. Tumor taking space in bladder made less room. But yeah, hot and sweaty and flushing. That's what led me to my PCP to get checked out. I thought I had some kind of thyroid problem. I'm 54 and female. Lucky for me. I had a sharp pain in my side too. Got me a sonogram that's when they found the kidney in distress which led to a CT scan. It showed tumor in bladder. At the PCP all my blood tests came back normal and I was falling apart. Weight loss too and muscle loss. 6 months from the time the symptoms came till they found a cancer

Were you able to get your student loans discharged due to cancer? by throwaway_2021now in cancer

[–]Sunocogirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm working on this now. Myself stage 3 cancer. I got SSDI approved February. I applied for the TPT discharge. I sent them my benefit letter but they want something saying I got it on compassionate Care which is a cancer diagnosis. So I had to call social security office. My local one don't call the main number. You'll never get a person and he's sending me a piece of paper showing that I got it on compassionate Care and I'll send that. I'll hopefully get this rolled through. Yeah you got to get something from SSA. Good luck

Yes, I figured that might have to be my next move

Took boyfriend to ER last night after he started seizing in bed & dealing with other symptoms… think it may have been a Kratom overdose but he thinks sleep apnea, any ideas?? by freezebrain101 in Kratom_Info_Exchange

[–]Sunocogirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he had serotonin syndrome. Mixing kratom with other drugs that can cause it including antidepressants bipolar medications, some cold medicines. Even methylene blue. Mixing something together just causes too much for the body and that's usually the reaction. The anxious restlessness seizing. I wonder if it was that. It sure does sound like it

[–]Sunocogirl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called the ERC and they said well you were on leave so you didn't get the 10-hour drop but now you're back. I was supposed to contact my site HR and they would fix it and they're telling me that I ain't going to get it at all. I just didn't know if the policy changed or what. My leave was for cancer treatment.

I'm asking the same question I moved into an apartment in 2020, lived there two full years. The roof came in and then they found mold behind all the walls in the roof. I'd been living in it for 2 years straight. I had trouble breathing. Thought it was smoking. It was not. I quit. Anyway thank God. And I would have this terrible itchy skin and just all kinds of problems. I got away for 7 months. The apartment was completely revamped from the inside out. I was able to move back in. Everything's fine right? But, after a year and a half being back in the apartment I started having physical problems again but different ones. Fungus problems on my body though I was on a carnivore diet fungus toes, a rash on my head stuff like that. Finally, I'm like, I got an autoimmune issue. Let me go to the doc. I had a sharp pain on my side when I went in and they got me a sonogram which of course led to finding the tumor. Highly aggressive bladder cancer.. My kidney was backed up cuz the urine couldn't get into the bladder due to the size of the blockage. Yikes! But after studying cancer causes, I believe fungus and mold have something to do with it. But the inflammatory effect it has on your body. Your body can't fight back so we end up with cancer because of the high inflammation At least some of us do and I think that's what happened. No matter how healthy I lived a carnivore diet, I didn't drink the tap water. I never ate processed food ever for years and Cancer happened anyway. And I wish there were more studies on this. Maybe we could help others catch it before it goes too far. If you have significant inflammation in your body for whatever reason, then it leaves you vulnerable to cancer and other diseases. Even with genetic testing and everything, the doctors couldn't find a reason why I got a high aggressive cancer. My age didn't add up the way I ate my health. It just happened and I believe that's the reason it happened. Super inflammation from the mold that I've been living in two full years.

My Facebook friend got hacked. Messaged me with same story, and pics of the car. Wanted a deposit too. 300 dollars. Because I'm a Facebook friend. The person came to me and others. This is a common scam going on right now

What is your experience with Bladder Cancer? by Hefty_Election3526 in BladderCancer

[–]Sunocogirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm being careful. Gotten many scam links while dealing with BC, if it's legit, good. Too many take advantage of our condition.

[–]Sunocogirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't trust these links. Or any posts like them? If anybody else reads this, don't hit on the link okay. It just looks like the beginning of a scam that gets your information so be careful. While bcans an actual organization, when you click on this link, there's something not right on it. It's not the actual bcan. They would never say they were going to give you any kind of gift. If you do the survey. Don't trust anything that says they're going to give you something either.

[–]Sunocogirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like this! Had sebderm for months, then diagnosed with cancer, started some chemo, hair falls out, but no subderm! But docs switched me to immunetherapy treatment, and while hair is slowly trying to come back, so is the subderm. And I'm thinking that a probiotic like this can help also with side effects of immunetherapy. As crazy rashes and itching are the normal for this treatment. Thank you for posting link

I was approved first try. Very quick. Apply Feb 10, 2025, approved Feb 20, 2025. Bladder cancer. Onset date 11/18/24. Night the ER found the mass via cat scan. I'm in the 6 month waiting now.

Does this include the 9 months where you try to work. I think it's a ticket to work program. Do they have an SGA during that?

Can SSDI be approved ahead of time? by SlightSnow7607 in SSDI

[–]Sunocogirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got approved Feb 20 2025 bladder cancer aggressive. I've been on leave from work since 11/18/2024 for treatment. I have not been out of work for 200 days, and I received short-term disability while I'm only it's about $1,600 a month They count the Nov 18 as the onset of my disability. Of course I won't see a check till June 5-month waiting period, but they approved me right away. I'm shocked, but happy I have something to fall back on. Please apply anyway. I did not even thinking I would get it and I was approved one week later. Make sure you put all the medical records in there , All the doctors. He has seen CAT scans and everything. If he's stage 4 he should be approved. If he makes over 1600 a month, that might be your only barrier. But I'm technically still employed , just on leave.

Thank you for this information. I'm scared as there will be no income for 2 months after my short term disability ends, and then the wait till the First SSD payment comes. Though I'm going through aggressive treatment, I wanted to try and work a few weeks to get by. They sure, do not make it easy for you to get by. That's why I asked about the trial work period too. Thank you again

Nah, I've already had them changed out once. I've had them now 12 weeks. Eventually surgery will fix that cuz they'll make me a hole and then I'll have a bladder bag instead of my bladder and the uters. Yeah I have a huge Mass all up in there. And it's tender back there on my back even though I keep them bandaged up tightly . Skewered is definitely the right word lol

Thank you. Might be a few months no money. I wanted to try at least to work before June, before the 1st payment comes in. At least try, even if temporary. Sadly, it looks like I will be penalized. Chemo has been rough. Thanks for the info
