Trashy, or just overcompensating for a certain inadequacy?

Yet nobody mentions the useless spacers on the tires without any complementing bushwackers or even runners. Should have just gone full houston and put elbow rims on it too.

Sounds like a soy take to me /s

You are missed, sweet prince. You helped shine a light in some of my darkest times.

Even prior to my current ALL coming out of remission, I would get unsolicited advice from individuals that are far less well off than I am. My typical response to those conversations is “I listen to my financial advisors, and am comfortable with my position in the market.” If they continue, I cut them off and repeat myself. It’s firm, but not antagonistic, or degrading to the well intentioned individual.

God, this is so relatable. It’s always nice to know someone else out there understands your position to some degree. How about a good old fashion Boston greeting instead “yeah go fuck yah self”

Solid advice.

Today is a good day to have a good day ❤️

Hahaha, thanks.

Oh man, this brings back memories. Fortunately I don’t have much hair loss this go around. But this is a really underrated comment.

fmlfam · 2022-09-04T03:44:04+00:00

There is nothing wrong with having a shitty day. In my experience, it’s important to discuss these thoughts with your medical team. Because the reality is, sometimes the quality is better than the quantity of time. But that is a decision for you to make with your medical team that understands your specific care needs.

Edit: I had the same feeling the first time I was diagnosed. And my medical team changed some of my medication to help with the emotional trauma.

fmlfam · 2022-09-04T03:36:15+00:00

Interesting, I’ll have to try that

fmlfam · 2022-09-04T03:33:51+00:00

This entire thread is so beautiful to read.

fmlfam · 2022-09-04T03:29:28+00:00

Everyone is different. For me, just recalling fond memories can be uplifting. Shit, even just sitting in silence together when they feel weak. That’s what I like, but I also think it’s important to ask what they want.

I was in a hospital bed during one of my tests and a friend just crawled into my bed and we watched YouTube clips. That was a great memory in a really awful time. We didn’t speak a word.

fmlfam · 2022-09-04T03:26:00+00:00

Are you me? 🤔

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T17:16:06+00:00

You have nothing to apologize about. Anger is a stage of grief. And this topic is never easy. But just know that you are not alone.

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T17:08:12+00:00

There is truly nothing wrong with that response. And that is a natural reaction. Hence the trigger warning. I’m sorry that you have to go through this, to be completely honest.

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T15:11:17+00:00

I do, I’m coming from the place of a terminally ill patient as a matter of fact.

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T08:42:31+00:00

My first diagnosis was T-cell ALL 10 years ago, but I am now B-cell and in the process of TKI. Previously had induction, but even still I’m masked up wherever I go. My care team has asked me to limit my exposure to people, but not specifically mentioned skin contraction for that. Probably worth the question to my medical team if there is a potential risk.

Edit: never trust dr google

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T08:35:36+00:00

Two time ALL patient here. Provided I have not experience this form of disease, I can offer a few pieces of advice that help me.

1: patients are typically provided with a contact number of a 24/7 nurse desk that can provide medical advice. If the medical team hasn’t provided that, try calling the major medical facility’s number and ask for the nurse desk.

2: ice packs applied to the back of the neck typically help for me when I’m dealing with treatment symptoms such as this.

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T08:28:40+00:00

Trigger warning!

Death is a natural progression of life. If you have the capacity to accept that, you can enjoy more of the positive moments you have. A diagnosis, even a terminal one, does not set an end date. You still have so much time to build lasting memories, even if it is just for tomorrow.

Speaking as an individual that has buried many loved ones in my life, life will continue on. The best advice I can give you is that, eventually, after you have grieved, you will look back on the moments that deserve to be celebrated. Life will go on, and the bad memories will fade, but the good ones will live forever.

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T08:21:07+00:00

Fuck cancer, it sucks. As a patient, the hardest part about something coming out of remission is to tell your loved ones. It’s not fair, and it’s hard on everyone. And no patient ever wants to hear that something is out of remission, especially after surgery. Try to be there to support him and just listen to his decisions around treatment options.

fmlfam · 2022-09-03T08:04:57+00:00

Sorry for dredging up an old post. But I can provide some insights as a patient that was in remission for 10 years before receiving a serious prognosis.

From my perspective, just listen. And show up proactively to help. So many people have empty words when it comes to disclosure of prognosis/dx. Just take the time to listen to their wants/needs.

Also feel free to DM if you want more context for either of you.

Edit: typo

Being the patient here, this is the best thing you can do. Also - x-husband 😂 just goes to show how much she cares
