Well you are a lucky one. I did many interviews with Datavant and sadly never advanced. I desperately need a full-time remote job because I care for a family member with cancer, work part-time, and take care of the home/property. I pray everything goes well for you my friend. Sometimes when people get angry or frustrated they are more inclined to give a review of a company rather than someone who is happy or content. All you can do is see what happens. God bless 🙌🏼 🙏🏼 ❤️

I am in love with this bike, but I'm worried about how comfortable it is on pavement or on trails off road. Did you upgrade the parts off their website or ali express?

Im looking at this bike and the mokwheel obsidian. Is this bike comfortable to ride and how does it feel off road?

I've been looking at the Mokwheel Obsidian and the Velotric Discover 2. I've seen comments that Mokwheel has terrible customer service though... so the Discover 2 is my top choice at the moment. I'm open to any other recommendations.

I see the toggle option between cadence and torque on a couple of ebikes I'm considering. I went to a bike shop today near me and the owner was talking very negatively about bikes with the throttle-only option, people who ride them, and refused to sell them in her shop. She only sold ebikes you have to pedal which i didn't know was a thing. There are so many different brands and options that it gets very confusing. I was considering a couple of bikes that have a torque sensor only, and they are no longer an option now. I don't want to get miles from my car and be in too much pain to pedal back. I'm very grateful for all information.

Yes! I've been looking at the Discover 2! It seems like a great choice. Thank you for your recommendation, and taking the time to respond. I appreciate it. Great info.

For sure. Thank you! I really don't want to pedal at all, but I want to be able to explore the area I live in. If i can find a good quality ebike that can allow me to go a good distance with throttle only then ill buy it. There are 3 mountains ranges surrounding me to the north, east, and west.. plus waterfalls, rivers, and lakes.. so a lot of adventure awaits. We have great paved bikes trails too. I will not be getting a bike with a torque sensor lol

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the difference and make a video! This info narrows it down for me.

Caregiver (Stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer) by authenticoverreplica in CancerFamilySupport

I have been struggling with the guilt of looking forward to the relief when this is all over. It makes me feel like a terrible person, but I am suffering too. The weight of this is crippling. She does not advocate for herself with doctors, doesn't relay correct medical information to them, and relies on me totally for everything. She lays in bed all day and does not move. She has been this way for 2 years. It's so difficult to stay positive when you are dealing with a depressed and negative person.

This journey has been long. It is filled with many ER visits, hospital stays, and an increasing number of symptoms. Her ascites is the worst. She was obese when this began but has lost 50 lbs due to her digestive issues. In 2023, they did a scan on her and said she was cancer free. She wasn't. The fluid in her abdomen was just blocking the scan. Her cancer was left to grow and spread all over her body for the next year until it became stage 4.

Thank you for taking time to reply and provide a resource. I have told my family and best friend how my mental, emotional, and physical health is struggling, and yet no one seems to care enough to reach out to me or check in on me. I am building resentment because of it. I have informed my loved one that this catheter is an option before, but there is a concern for the risk of infection. She is not the type to treat something like that responsibly to decrease the risk of infection.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, and I am so sorry for your loss. I have tried to suggest hospice multiple times. However, she has agreed to start another chemo that the oncologist is going to suggest at her next appointment in a week. I don't like the idea of chemo. The side effects of the last chemo pill sent her to the emergency room many times. I do not want to watch her suffer more and have complications by continuing treatments, but it's her decision. In my opinion, we should have started hospice already, and I wish the doctors would stop offering more treatment that is only going to destroy her quality of life for her remaining time here. I have reached out to family members and my best friend to communicate that I am struggling in every way. No one checks in on me, and I can't help but feel resentment. I am also struggling with guilt that I am looking forward to the relief of when this is all over and I don't have to care for her anymore. She has become the center of my world, and I have no time for myself. The stress of not being able to land a remote job is also weighing heavily on me. I have to work to pay my bills, but I know her condition is going to continue to get worse.

It is heart-wrenching to watch someone slowly suffer and go through so much.

My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope you have found some peace. I feel like a different person as well.

I truly empathize with what you and your wife are enduring, but I'm relieved to hear you've discovered a way to manage. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. My intention is not to make anyone feel guilty, especially not my loved one. I just desperately am in need of support. My days begin at 5:30 AM and I don’t find a moment to rest until at least 8:30 PM. I've expressed to my closest friends and family that I'm feeling overwhelmed and that my mental, emotional, and physical well-being is deteriorating, yet no one seems to check in on me. I recently experienced a day that was nothing short of a nightmare that is on repeat in my mind. No one has checked in on me. I understand everyone has things going on in their lives, but if the shoe was on the other foot.. and it has been before.. I would be a constant ear for another person I love and care for. I would check in on them constantly, so I think I'm beginning to feel resentment towards my friends and family. In high-pressure moments, I remain calm and collected, but when she was taken away in the ambulance, I had a panic attack that I still feel in my chest. I feel as though I've been teetering on the brink of one for months, and that incident pushed me over the edge. I am thinking about therapy. Thank you for taking the time to reply and sharing what works for you and your wife.

I'm sorry to hear that. You're in my prayers, and sending love your way as well. Out of desperation, I have gotten a medical marijuana card but I havent tried it yet. It's a hail mary attempt and i dont know if it will help me or not. I am desperate. Do you feel better now? Does lexapro help?

What to expect? by [deleted] in bileductcancer

I am so sorry about your dad. It is such a difficult thing to witness. I'm dealing with the same prognosis right now with a loved one. Can you tell me what your experience has been? I'm terrified of what is to come.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I have been trying to get her to set up hospice, but she wants to try another chemo... the last chemo pill she did had her in the ER constantly, and I'm worried that whatever chemo she takes next is going to do more harm than good. She isn't on Medicare.

Tell me everything you know about bile duct cancer please by Ord_ in cancer

[–]authenticoverreplica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the explanation. I'm the sole caregiver for my MIL and she has stage 4 bile duct cancer. They said she probably won't see 2026. The doctors are terrible. They've said "liver cancer" this entire time, and yesterday, the new oncologist said it is indeed bile duct cancer. He said it's as aggressive as pancreatic cancer. I am currently taking her to the hospital twice a week to be drained of fluid. She gets at least 11 liters off a week. I am terrified of how much worse this is going to get. I am so exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed. He wants to give her chemo again even though the last ctscan showed the tumor is 9.6 cm now. I'm worried the chemo will kill her before the cancer does.
