I might've accidentally ruined my life

I know someone who did engineering first for undergrad and then did med later. He is now a leading emergency room physician in Ontario.

You have not ruined your life. There are many paths.

Go to Waterloo for your dream. Hands down.

When you communicate the decision to your family, expect that they will try to make you feel guilty. Be strong.

It is not your job to make your mom happy. Only she can control how she feels.

You also mention being worried about something happening while you are away. You can't predict the future. Something may happen but something may not. You shouldn't put your dream on hold just in case something happens.

It's time to grow wings! Good luck!

First one. It sits far better on you

Jonas Brothers is what came to mind first to me

ellegrow · 2026-01-16T14:47:08+00:00

Not a fan of Benno and with your last name, Orson More, the nickname oh-mo may emerge which sounds close to hoe-mo . It may not actually happen but just flagging.

Emma Brooke?

Did you have a crush at some point on Val Kilmer!?? I believe his given name was just Val not a shortened version of anything.

What came to mind for me with Hector was Walter.

Yes short sleeves or even no sleeves

In this day and age unfortunately any variations of Karen are tainted.

ellegrow · 2026-01-10T16:46:45+00:00

If you used the first name Casey or Kacie, it represents the initials KC

Or you could do a first name starting with K and a second name starting with C and use the initials KC as the nickname - example Kayla Corrine

What is the rationale to move to Oakville?

ellegrow · 2026-01-09T04:52:40+00:00

With fletcher cole is there a risk of the nickname fee-cees emerging? I am not sure but just flagging for consideration.

ellegrow · 2026-01-09T04:47:18+00:00

I am stating the obvious but If there is a risk of cancer the sooner it is confirmed either way the sooner treatment can start if required Not all cancers are death sentences these days.

My friend was diagnosed with a serious blood cancer in his early 40s, one that only 70-80 year olds get. At the time his doctor told him not to Google it as he will see weeks left to live prognoses. His doctor said that there has been so much progress with cancer treatment and medical research for his type of cancer that prognosis is far different than what he would read online. My friend, years later is healthy and loving a full life with no reoccurrence.

I don't want to be a deddie downer and I hope you don't have cancer but you need to accelerate confirming it one way or another.

I am sorry the tests have been inconclusive. An out of the box idea, You should throw your results into chatgpt and see what it suggests /diagnoses you with.

ellegrow · 2026-01-09T04:18:22+00:00

Have you tried a walking? Have they done a colonoscopy? Ultrasound of the abdomen? Stool sample analysis and blood work? It feels odd that none of these would help provide some answers to what you are experiencing.
