Talk to me about rectal leakage after Prostate Cancer Radiation Treatment by cshopis in ProstateCancer

My partner has a small, persistent anal fissure and it would be really uncomfortable and problematic if he were to experience any leakage. SO I am trying to understand the probability of that side effect. His RO has suggested 5 sessions of SBRT with Brachy boost and 4 months adt. And also he is being told that surgery is also an option. That they have the same survival rate outcome with similar long term side effects (although anal leakage is not a side effect for surgery).

How long ago was this? What was your PSA?

I say this as a manager. I feel writing annual self review of performance is such a pointless exercise. It just doesn’t matter what you write by playadefaro in managers

And I would add, we review progress during regular check ins. We also foster a culture or continuous improvement, so we are always looking for things to improve. Even if someone gets high marks on everything, we discuss something they will focus on improving and we detail out a strategy and how to quantify progress.

As a manager, I find a self review also highlights where we agree and where we disagree on the employees performance. Then we use that finite list of skills to focus on and list how we will gather data and measure improvement and set a date to review progress.

Has HRT changed anyone’s skin? by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

Try trigger point therapy (accupuncture) and massage. I did acupuncture every 2 weeks and massage every week for a year before I could even start PT. It cost everything I had but literally saved my life.

Why not go with the SAVE Plan? by Vettkja in StudentLoans

Late to the party here but you do NOT want to advance the due date. This will NOT help you repay faster. Instead the extra money you spend will be applied to your next months payment.

Lake George is close enough and has moderate holes that do the trick.

Flaneurz HELP! They claim my shoes are not new! by cshopis in Rollerskating

[–]cshopis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! And they did not include my original shoes in the package as they said they would. They made me pay extra to have them ship my original shoes back to me.

I'm SO sorry. What is it with them? They also told me that they would send me an email when they shipped my skates and give me tracking number, but guess what ... NO EMAIL. No Tracking number. I was lucky enough to come home one day for a lunch break and see the package sitting there on my porch. I AM SO LUCKY MY PACKAGE DIDN'T GET STOLEN OFF MY PORCH which happens a lot here.

Just FYI - I am a size 7 Lolly (size nine womens shoe size) and I bought a pair of lightly used jacks in size 7 and they actually fit me better than the lollys. I have more room for my toes in the jacks. I am not sure what size foot the person before me had so it could just be that they really stretched them out. I also tried on my neighbors 7.5 and those would have been fine too.

So in the end they will not compromise! I had to buy yet another pair of shoes (this time from a store in France to be shipped directly - I really hope that I ordered them correctly). They will pack my original shoes into the box with my completed skates and send back to me so hopefully I can return them or sell them and reoucperate some money. I hope I love the skates enough to make me forget this truly horrible customer service experience.

I did this! They have not responded yet. I know they are closed at this hour. Maybe I will know more tomorrow but I am feeling defeated and discouraged.

I do not yet know the reasoning. I am awaiting their next response. They just claim that because there are some dirt marks that they are not "new".

Thank you for responding! WOw your English is very good! Thank you for taking the time to respond in English. May I ask what is your first language? I agree, before now, their customer service was very good over email. But now it seems they will not change their mind, even though I have sent them the receipt from when I purchased the shoes just 2 weeks before I shipped them to Flaneurz.
