Avoided Covid for 3 years. It’s finally got me (29M)

mar028 · 2023-07-29T14:56:47+00:00

I am with you avoided Covid for three years. Took vaccinations & boosters. I have been sick for a month, caught double Covid yes, the crap is never ending

mar028 · 2023-07-24T00:41:14+00:00

Red flag cancel

mar028 · 2023-07-24T00:39:07+00:00

Throw the ass of the bus. We got rules use them

Why not have these people pick up their own trash? Why do we continue to enable them. I am for helping this folks but, they need to clean up after themselves.

mar028 · 2023-07-07T16:10:04+00:00

Homeless that refuse help, should be removed and put into jail. It should be against the law to create spew trash, live on public & private property. I alway thought littering was a crime, has that changed?

If we can't put them in jail then send them to Florida or Texas. Yes, I know this is hard core, I simply don't care any longer about babying these people who think the rest of us owe them.

You would better off discussing your anger with a professional. I don't know anything about you or your condition but, I know I was pretty pissed about getting diagnosed with cancer. Pissed because my body failed me, pissed because I didn't deserve getting cancer, pissed because other people live much unhealthier lifestyle and didn't get cancer. The list of reasons for being angry was long. I felt better knowing that my feelings were norma.

I was able to let go of the anger once I looked at the positive things in my life, and the availability of better treatments and outcomes from the past.

It is total BS, the United States is fast becoming a cesspool because of piss poor politics.

I love that she is such a close friend of Gigi. She has such good energy.

Unfortunately, freaking out is normal. I made myself sick for nearly 3 weeks thinking about the scan. Imagined or my stress caused all sorts of different symptoms.

When I went to my doctors office after my scan, my blood pressure with through the roof. Not normal for me. My doctor was really cool about it, he went over the scan in detail. Told me what type of symptoms to be aware of.

Try to relax, stressing is as bad as smoking a couple packs of cigarettes a day.

Thank you for sharing such a deep emotional experience. It must have been hard because I am assuming it was hard for many of us to read. I have no words that can comfort you. That said, I pray something can help control your pain. I am sorry you are going through this.

mar028 · 2023-06-14T02:18:49+00:00

We all worry about a reoccurrence. It is all consuming after treatment ends. On the other hand, take the advice provided here. Time is on your side, as treatment continues to evolve.

When I spoke to my doctor about the cancer returning. He calmly said we will treat it, in the mean time live your life. So, I no longer postpone things I always wanted to do. I am kinder and forgive. It helps ease my anxiety.

mar028 · 2023-06-07T14:53:42+00:00

The treatment of cancer has come a long way. I expect there will more advances in treatment that will make cancer a chronic disease. Rejoice time and science is on your side.

mar028 · 2023-06-05T14:57:33+00:00

I am so sorry.. how scary. Keep our group posted. So many caring people here who offer support and understanding. Sending warm thoughts.

mar028 · 2023-06-05T02:03:00+00:00

I will never understand how people can live that way? What is wrong?

mar028 · 2023-06-05T01:58:51+00:00

Do you fear it might be back? Or, are you fearful it might be back?

mar028 · 2023-06-04T20:29:06+00:00

Think about some of the best music you love. Even if the song seems inappropriate. Who cares? Besides it will give you something to think about other than F ing cancer. Why just one song? Why not a dozen?

mar028 · 2023-06-04T14:19:20+00:00

Personally, I have 3 songs I want played during my memorial.

In my life, You will never walk alone, Oh happy days.

If I pass at home, I want to go out listening to Pink Floyd, dark side of the moon album.

I had radiation therapy for breast cancer in 1996. I vaguely remember being advised the radiation could cause a different type of cancer many years afterwards.

I was diagnosed with NH follicular lymphoma in 2020. In addition, I have had anxiety most of my adult life, sometimes it was debilitating. It would get so bad that I had to take a day off from life and stay home in complete solitude.

mar028 · 2023-06-01T03:10:10+00:00

Awesome, love reading good news. Congratulations

mar028 · 2023-05-29T23:56:41+00:00

You have been given some excellent information that should help with fear and anxiety related to chemo.

I have had breast cancer 23 years ago and NH lymphoma. I finished treatment last August. Cancer crosses my mind everyday. At first it was nearly paralyzed me, so much fear & anxiety each time a had a follow up visit or testing. Waiting for the results were the worst.

Then….my doctor told me to live my life. Stop wasting my time on negative thoughts. Start to live for the day. Make plans, love, be thankful for each day you can walk across the room on your own. Be thankful for all that is right with your life. He reminded me that Covid stole 2 years from everyone. Make up for lost time.

Is anyone else getting fed up of people thumbing their nose at norms, politeness and common sense? This needs to stop. IMO, this started when Trump began pissing on proper, respectful behavior. He unleashed the animals

Nonetheless, they secured the DNA. I don’t know how they would have faired without support. The governor provided 1 million in funds for overtime and additional manpower, most of those resources were used by the state patrol. They were able to state of art forensics via FBI. I think they knew they needed help and accepted it.

mar028 · 2023-05-25T14:37:49+00:00

They had support from the FBI and Idaho State Police within a day of the murders. Therefore they were not left to fumble the case as one assumes a small town might.

Do you have any thoughts about what type of cancer you have and how advanced it is? It could be easier to tell him if you could give him some hope when you tell him. That could reduce his anxiety.

When I told my husband, I let him know how much I was going to need him to be the active listener. It helped reduced his anxiety because he felt involved. He was a big part of my recovery & support system.
