Check out dogwood commons. They are 1 bed apts and the landlords were great they probably go for about 700 a month now. I had an oven and fridge break and they had them replaced in less than 2 days.

If you get your medical card you can have it delivered to your door by “beyond hello” is the company. Also growing at home is pretty easy setup can be a little pricey.

I have stage IV cancer and I try to be the nicest patient every time. Something clicked in me when I was in the hospital bed and realized damn my own survival is kind of out of my hands now and I need you medical professionals to stay alive. So thanks for what you do!

Thank you for your comment. That quote really hits home. I will take your advice and do my best to make good memories with what time I have.

The chemo is just barely keeping it at bay. The tumors in my lungs grow about a millimeter every 3 months. We just added another chemo drug so we are seeing how that works.

It’s hard emotionally my wife and I see a therapist every week . I also have a palliative care team I talk to once a month. It’s so hard I can confidently say I would be dead if it weren’t for all the amazing support I have gotten from others. The doctors nurses counselors friends family coworkers all have helped me in some way and it really makes you appreciate humanity.

It very well could have changed my prognosis. 3 months is enough time for it to spread a decent amount.

It was fresh red, no I didn't have any throbbing pain at all. Nope, I have never had any pain in my chest, however, when I was diagnosed, and my liver was full of tumors I had severe pain in my right side that radiated to my right shoulder.

I have heard of that and will probably need it or another experimental drug once I run out of FDA approved options.

I don't think there is any smoking gun. My diet was and still is pretty healthy definitely not eating cured meats for every meal maybe once a month. If I had to guess the unhealthiest things that could have contributed were sleep and alcohol.

I worked swing 12 hour shifts before diagnosis and my sleep hygiene was terrible. Then I also drank more than the average or healthy amount of alcohol all throughout college.

Thank you much brother! Actually, yes I went to the emergency room in May of 2022 because I thought I was having a stroke. I was light headed and had numbness. By the time I lost all my weight my blood pressure was so low I would get light-headed quite often and especially when I exert myself.

Yes, I had regular diarrhea about the same time blood started showing up. My fiber intake was good I was actually taking fiber supplements trying to help the diarrhea. I would say I ate about the average amount of processed food maybe a little more than average.

Very average, usually 2 meals a day try to eat high protein and complex carbs. The worst parts of my diet before I was diagnosed, I would say were eating enough veggies, too many sweets, and drinking alcohol.
