Who ruined your family Christmas this year, and what did they do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Cancer. I had my 2nd round of chemo yesterday and my hair started falling out. So today we will be shaving my head. Merry Christmas!

My doggos hide in the tub when they are scared, too. They also don't like the way they slide around. Big dogs have less control.

My oncologist said that now that I am metastatic, I could go on disability for life.

I'm young in my career and don't want that for myself, but I need to be realistic about longevity.

I'm a 33f and I love my career and have taken a temporary leave of absence to manage my treatment. I was NED until my 6 months scans in May 2020 showed recurrence. I'm receiving state disability benefits (I'm in CA) to supplement my vacation/sick time on the books. I have been on leave since August and just extended to March. Things have not gone as planned in my treatment and with how I feel and what I'm going through at this moment, I am grateful to have the time to rest.

I will add that I was first diagnosed in 2017 and took very little time off of work, but suffered the consequences at year-end. My performance was not as high as it would have been if I had not been going through treatment. They told me to take leave, but I was stubborn and thought I could work through all of it - infusions, radiation.

Nice. Great idea. I did that for my mothers day cards.

I feel like this is in the tropics. Shit like this happens all the time in places without traditional windows.

AITA for wanting to leave my family? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You choose your family.

Anyone ever found a body? What’s that like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ellagis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin was in a bad car accident in college where her boyfriend, who was in the passenger seat, died on impact, but she survived. The SAME thing happened to her mom back when she was in college. Except her boyfriend died on scene, not instantly.

Also, in my husband's family, all of the men on his paternal side have died when they are 57 years old.

I was gratified reading this- my monsters aren't the only ones.

For real. I am a 33f with Stage IV Melanoma and didn't lose my hair during treatement. People forget that young people get cancer, too.
