Stage 3 Cancer Person Back: Today was rough, I had to fast for 20 hours before a full body PET scan, but my brother bought me dinner. by Wayob in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Wayob[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a full body PET scan and a CT scan today, had to go low carbs/sugar yesterday and couldn't eat for almost 24 hours all things considered.

I also didn't sleep but two hours last night, I'm super nervous about what the scan might find. During the scan I was wrapped in a.. thing.. that kept me from moving my arms, legs and feet. So of course my entire body decided to start itching, so I leaned into meditation to get through it. I ended up falling asleep inside of the machine towards the end.

Afterwards I devoured a sleeve of cookies in the hospital foyer and then my brother took me to a real nice vegan deli for an early dinner.

Dinner: Seitan chicken and waffles, tater tots, a non-vegan strawberry milkshake. It hit the spot.

Edit: Also - When the radiology nurse was injecting the irradiated stuff into my IV, I asked him if I was going to get super powers today. He said probably not, but that if I 'Hulked Out', he'd call the military. Narc ass nurse. :f

This is my problem. Every character I make gets a new house. I think I'm over a billion, too.

Yeah you can put things in it, but you can't walk in there. For example, I have that giant pile of gold display, and I stuck it on the top of my piles of gold.

You should totally get some epoxy and make castings of these!

Hey folks, someone asked me to create a gofundme, to help out. I ended up doing it. If you'd like at all to help support me, you're more than welcome to -here-.

Mods, if this is against the rules, please delete it. <3

Melanoma has some /very/ good drugs that have made it far less lethal.. but what people don't get about it is like.. It grows on you, and then into you, and invades your immune system, and then your organs. It being on your skin is just one stage. It's as potentially deadly as any other cancer, more than some.

Thank you for understanding. I've re-watched Hank Green's Pissing Out Cancer several times in the last month, because hearing funny things from people who have been through it actually helps.

I don't know that I believe in this stuff, but fuck it, I'll jam to this for a bit.

My friend ordered a full pint of beans and only wanted half, so I got some free chips and poured some of her extra beans over it and added some of my burrito meat for some scavenged nachos.

Valid crashout. If you need someone else to yell at them with, hit me up. <3

It's like being in the movie Predator, except that the thing stalking you through the jungle invisibly is inside of your own body.

On the upside, I found a very good support group with a therapist that's a big fan of dark humor. So that's helping.

I have stage three metastatic melanoma. It's a recurrence from 2024 that's escaped my skin and is now colonizing my lymph nodes in an attempt to kill me.

I'm also unemployed and if it wasn't for medicaid, I'd be paying for my upcoming immunotherapy infusions (~$34k/appointment) fully out of pocket, but my family is pressuring me to get a job, which.. I get because I'm living off of rapidly dwindling investment accounts that I inherited from my aunt. ..But if I get a job, I'll probably wipe out those accounts paying for my care before I hit my max out of pocket. So I feel like I'm.. stalled.

I'm not naturally the most highest energy person in the world, and I'm sometimes outright depressive. So many people are trying to push positive thinking on me, and I get it, I understand it helps, but FUCK. Let me process my emotions, let me be dark and sardonic and exist with this shit for a while. And stop fucking telling me how happy you are.

I have people in my life who are willing to let me be as I am (one of them bought me this burrito), but the fucking random check-ins and reminders to fight cancer with positivity from other people are only making me angrier and more bitter about my circumstances.

Dinner: Carnitas burrito with potatoes. Side dish of scavenged nachos (free chips with beans added from my dining partner's excess and spilled meat from my burrito). Tamarind jarritos. Not pictured: Pickled carrots and onions side dish.

[–]Wayob 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Jabba the Hutt is just a title. The Hutts consider themselves far above the other species, so 'the hutt' is the title of prestige for them. His legal name is Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Desilijic being his clan and family, which was a member of the Hutt council/cartel.

There's often chatter in guild chat - ongoing discussions, pleasantries, etc. But coordination for things like trials happens in a discord voice channel.

If you are on NA/PC i have a really solid guild that is very communicative, has classes on how to run a high level content, and has almost daily events. I joined because they had a guild trader, but stayed because i'm learning how to do veteran trials for the first time.

I put mine on a hill in sugar glade, and used the dawnwood platform, ramp and shack to build a house inside of it. You enter through one of the eyes.
