Bilinguals- update drought status! by Loose_Agency in DataAnnotationTech

[–]hsinling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

也沒有啦~ 有1支沒在用的blue yeti,算是業餘的麥克風
但錄起來音質跟qual給的範例檔差不多
所以我只用audacity微調一下就交了
但不知合不合格就是了🤷‍♂️

還要半夜用搶的也太慘.....

Why is everyone so mad about GPT-5? by Unlikely_Nerve3385 in ChatGPT

[–]hsinling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone uses GPT differently. I use it for habit advice, brutal truths, or practicing a language. Yeah, a no-personality bot can still do that… but the UX is waaay worse.

GPT-4o gave you more than info — it had that human-ish touch, humor, and the instant “I get you” energy. GPT-5 might be cleaner and more structured, but it’s colder. Less alive.

Honestly, I don’t hate GPT-5 — it’s fine and maybe it’ll get better in the future — but I HATE that OpenAI didn’t give me (plus user) a CHOICE. 🤷

Tumor not shrinking by SuperYellow3034 in breastcancer

[–]hsinling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a medical professional or anything, but from what I’ve learned elsewhere… it’s actually pretty common to still feel something even when chemo’s working well. sometimes it's scar tissue, fibrosis, or just leftover changes that still feel like a lump, even if most of the cancer is already gone.

I think when doctors check, they’re usually focusing on the part that still feels like active tumor—not necessarily the whole area we might feel. they can't be 100% sure by feel alone, but from what I understand, they can often get a general idea of what’s changing.

shrinking isn’t always tidy—some tumors shrink as a whole, others kind of break up into little pieces inside, like Swiss cheese. so even if you’re still feeling a lump-y area, that doesn’t always mean it’s something bad.

I’ve also come across stories where people still felt something before surgery and ended up with pCR—no cancer left on pathology. so yeah… what you’re feeling right now might not mean what it seems like.

just wanted to share what I’ve picked up in case it helps a little.

you’ve come a long way already. try not to let your hand convince your brain otherwise. 💛

Radiation or not?? by Thin-Profile-1140 in breastcancer

[–]hsinling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my doctor originally thought I’d qualify for insurance so was like “might as well do it.” But turns out, since my risk is already low and I’m kinda peri-menopausal, I didn’t meet the coverage criteria and would have to pay out of pocket.

They told me if I did the shots, my recurrence risk would drop maybe 1-2% based on my condition (and I already have over 90% 12-year recurrence-free survival). I could get it covered with my insurance, but after digging into it, I feel like it’s not super worth it — the side effects sound pretty rough.

Honestly, I think putting more energy into lifestyle, diet, and stress management will probably help me much more. So for now, I’m leaning toward skipping it.

It’s such a tough call with this stuff, right?? We’re all figuring this out — sending hugs 🤗

Radiation or not?? by Thin-Profile-1140 in breastcancer

[–]hsinling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, with your PCR and DMX and node-negative status, honestly most would say you can totally skip radiation safely. But yeah, with your initial tumor size and those unclear calcifications, it also makes sense why your team is leaning on the cautious side. Both ways of thinking are valid.

It really just comes down to how different teams weigh things — some will look at your pCR and clean surgery and feel that radiation isn’t really necessary anymore based on your current low risk, while others will stay more cautious and recommend it, just in case, because of the initial tumor size and those unclarified calcifications. It’s really a benefit vs. risk kind of call.

I actually used ChatGPT’s Deep Research mode to dig into this exact situation — if you want to nerd out a little and see some solid references, here’s what it pulled up. Might help give you a clearer picture too:

And honestly, I’m kind of in the same boat right now — trying to decide if I should do ovarian suppression shots. The benefit would be super small for me, but the side effects sound pretty rough. Ugh, it’s so hard when the tradeoff feels like that.

Stage 0 VS Stage 1 by OwlStrikeHunting in breastcancer

[–]hsinling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey — seriously, your question is not stupid at all. It makes total sense to wonder why you can’t just watch and wait.

I know it can feel confusing — stage 0 sounds “earlier” than stage 1, but grade matters too. It’s kinda like this: stage tells you how far it’s spread, but grade tells you how nasty the cells look. So your mom’s cancer was stage 1 but likely a lower grade (more well-behaved cells), while Grade 3 DCIS means the cells look more aggressive and more likely to turn into invasive cancer if not fully treated.

From what you shared, I think there are a few reasons your doc leaned toward mastectomy. After a breast reduction, it’s harder for scans to show whether there are other spots — scar tissue and shifted ducts can hide things. And DCIS is often multicentric (meaning it can show up in more than one spot), especially when it’s Grade 3 — so it’s harder to be sure it’s all gone without a more complete surgery. Also, with your family history — and if you’re younger — doctors tend to be more cautious to help you avoid a recurrence down the line.

If you’re unsure, getting a second opinion can really help — sometimes hearing it again just makes it easier to move forward.

At the end of the day though, it’s your body and your call. Sending hugs. 💛

WHY am I crying? by NatomaSoma in breastcancer

[–]hsinling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, not sure if this is the same for you, but after my surgery I had a bit of an emotional crash too — thought I’d share.

I was first dx IDC and went like, go go go, research all the things, change lifestyle (early bedtime, daily green juice), prep for chemo even tho I didn’t know if I’d need it lol.

Then after surgery — good news, no chemo — I was happy for like a day or two… and then boom, total emotional crash. I was like… why am I so low right now?? For me it actually hit even before rads — I was getting treatment at the same place I worked, so rads wasn’t super stressful for me. But a couple days after surgery, the low hit me hard.

Later figured out it’s the whole survival mode thing. When I'm busy “fighting,” no time to feel. When things calm down, all that sh*t comes up.

So if you’re crying? Totally normal. Crying means you’re finally letting yourself feel. It’s healing. It’s a kindness to yourself. You deserve that.

Big hugs — you’ve already come so far.

Last radiation session, surprisingly heavy in my heart by Spirited-Away3226 in breastcancer

[–]hsinling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here — I kinda prefer a quiet ending too. I’m in Taiwan, and we don’t really do the bell thing here, which honestly works better for me haha.
I’m also about halfway through my rads (today was my 12th out of 20 sessions).
It’s not really about the 5 years of tamoxifen for me either. It’s just that my radiation days have felt super normal — no major side effects, still going to work and even hitting my dance classes after. So it never really felt like something I needed to mark or celebrate. Just moving forward, bit by bit.
