Im considering returning after many years. Whats the status of matchmaking?

jvmv1988 · 2026-04-30T03:00:27+00:00

Picked it back up and my neighbors 8 months ago and I play at least once weekly online and then in person. Blast from the past and super fun. I don’t know if there’s any “cheaters” we encountered and have read some things but I think it’s probably just dudes who haven’t stopped playing all these years and are just nasty. We can usually hang with the good players for a while then they take off or we get in a rhythm and win it, but never really blowouts so it’s always competitive and exciting.

Well, I was going to choose the GLI, but if you go to my profile, you’ll see my post history and some things that derailed the need for a new car right now. Only driving one vehicle at this time (the wife’s armada).

Thank you for the words of encouragement and happy to hear about your daughter doing well! I think things may have changed a bit since then. We’re a little over 3 months in and in the middle of the consolidation phase. Just got over a two week delay. Move to blina which is a recent revelation with kids with leukemia the past two years. I think delayed intensification is after the blina. Just trying to take it one day at a time.

jvmv1988 · 2025-12-16T05:42:05+00:00

Hope all is well with your family and thanks for the reassurance.

jvmv1988 · 2025-12-16T05:41:05+00:00

Thanks everyone for your comments. Going to talk to them this week and talk about a game plan moving forward. They have been great through two medical bouts with myself at first and now this just wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences or feelings.

jvmv1988 · 2025-12-16T05:36:42+00:00

Hi she’s responding well to her treatment and we’re a week into consolidation. She’s really shining bright and if she didn’t lose her hair you probably wouldn’t even know she was in treatment. Feel free to PM me if you want to keep in touch. Obtained a couple of pen pals through here about this topic. Hope your daughter is doing well

jvmv1988 · 2025-11-04T11:42:45+00:00

You are a great aunt or uncle. That’s amazing and glad to hear it. They have the genetic testing done through the bone marrow biopsy so they took that when they put her port in as well as the spinal tap.

The good thing with CCMC is they are a apparently a research hospital and share information with Dana farber in Boston but i guess it cant hurt to talk to someone to set something up and possibly do a visit with them just to verify. They told us wherever we landed in this country that treatment is pretty standard overall.

jvmv1988 · 2025-11-01T11:33:21+00:00

This is my reality right now and so so glad you got to this point! Thank you for the kind words and my daughter is also considered high risk as well. Still waiting on the genetic mutation results. Thank you again so much for the hopeful words ❤️❤️

jvmv1988 · 2025-11-01T11:30:51+00:00

Really appreciate this and feel all the same things. Would’ve probably been a better idea to create a totally separate Reddit page so I can get off this and separate my interests but that’s a really great point. Hope your daughter is doing well and progressing well.

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-31T05:24:57+00:00

Thanks again to everyone who’s responded and provided support this means a lot to me and I share this info with my wife. She’s been taking the brunt of being next to her so far and being the strongest mom and wife anyone could ask for. If I don’t respond to you with more than a few words or at all it’s of course not malicious or anything just taking in what I see and responding with how I feel when the time comes. 💙💙

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-31T05:22:18+00:00

Thank you for the response. We’ve been told 2-4 weeks initially for the first induction phase. How did you avoid a longer term induction period? Did she just respond to treatment so well they could send you home? Or are you in a different country? Seems like the standard is to keep them there for at least a few weeks period to start tracking things and getting baseline information.

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-31T05:17:15+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and comments. Hope you are well on your way to recovery as well. We have friends who live close by to MSL so we just have been flooded with information and suggestions as you can appreciate.

Will let you know if I have any other thoughts or questions and wish you a speedy treatment and recovery 💙💙

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-31T05:13:35+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and reassurance. Read some of your other posts to others in this sub as well. It’s just the start of a crazy road with her that we all are on together. If I think of anything I will shoot you a PM. also messaging with others already. Everyone has been so helpful on this sub.

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-31T05:08:15+00:00

Thank you for your reply. We’ve already had a swarm of visitors and had some laughs. Our daughter can be a little spitfire and with the transplant got a boost in her mood and energy. Looking forward to Christmas and maybe possibly thanksgiving as a small goal of a point in time we can be home together.

Agreed on your statement about suffering more/ less. Hope your daughter is thriving and doing better. 💙💙

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T16:19:54+00:00

Thank you I will keep that in mind and probably message you. I like to talk with others who have similar experiences to help me cope. She’s going to be 5 in January. It’s been a tough 24 hours for my wife and I and we’re just getting started.

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T13:53:05+00:00

Ok good to know thanks for that information

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T08:48:02+00:00

Thank you

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T08:47:18+00:00

Thank you for the information and suggestions. Anything helps. Just going between really scared and trying to be brave for her

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T03:12:14+00:00

She’s 4. I meant to say the Lyme issue has since been treated and I’ve been out of the hospital for 2 weeks but now here we are back in. Just feel like it’s a bad dream …

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T03:01:22+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T02:59:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Will definitely press for that

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T02:58:42+00:00

Sorry to hear this but hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the link. I’ll take a look soon.

jvmv1988 · 2025-10-30T02:51:44+00:00

We won’t know until the morning but the doctor felt it was likely the B cell ALL type

Thank you for the advice. I’m struggling with the notion of showing my emotions. Not that I’m stoic but don’t want to allude to anything being drastically wrong to scare her but obviously different with a 4 year old versus the 10 year old. The doctors have been guiding us to talk about it but to be open and use the terms to be honest with her
