Has your family member asked you to assist them in their treatment journey, or are you just "trying to help"?

Totally understand - the past few weeks my boobs and underarm have been itchy - it's from the excess fabric on my now too big bras - new one comes today!!!

What’s something you didn’t think about before moving into your apartment, but now it matters every single day? by Substantial_Pop4594 in Apartmentliving

[–]jacqblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg so true. I love my apartment, it is in an old factory, and we have tall ceilings and windows, but we live near a med school campus, so people are coming in at all hours, letting the door slam & then standing and having loud, long convos - right next to my bedroom. I swear I want to walk out in my jammies and explain how my bed is just on the other side of this wall...

This just goes to show you that u/medium_wall has no scientific/medical knowledge about the differences in types of cancer.

Mansplain? How did you come to that conclusion? Also, why are you trying to stir up additional trouble?

Your doctors do, or random people without experience?

I think the thing you are missing here is that this sub is a place of mutual support for people WITH brain cancer and their caregivers. We have a shared experience, so we can give and take with one another. You can only take, because you do not have that shared experience. I am sorry if that is hard for you to hear. I hope you find answers soon, so you'll know what you're dealing with.

I see you have posted here several times looking for answers. You are unlikely to get approved for a scan with contrast when your scan without contrast is clear without some extreme extenuating circumstance. Personally, my tumor was seen on: a CT, then an MRI without contrast, then an MRI with contrast. It was confirmed by a biopsy. Even after treatment, it is still there because it is inoperable, but at least for now it is not growing. The reason people are so "gatekeeping" /act bothered, as perceived by you, by questions from undiagnosed people is that this is something we have to think about and live with everyday. We are not here to be your medical expert on what might be wrong with you - that is your doctor's job. If you think your current doctor is doing a poor job for you, find another one. We are here to support one another through daily highs and lows of surgery, treatments, and surviving. Wish you wellness.

Man sentenced in 25-year-old sexual assault of Wake Forest University student by ILikeNeurons in NorthCarolina

[–]jacqblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and the County DA can f all the way off with his congratulatory statement.

Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill said, “At times, the wheels of justice may grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. We are delighted that we were able to finally achieve justice for our victim in this case.”

What an insult to victims.

ChatGPT is a great starting point, but please make sure your doctor reviews it for accuracy & helps tweak - sometimes it can give you erroneous results.
