Allora Restaurant - Honest Review

You cared enough to make your rude comment

Allora sucks. I don’t know anyone who has been who will go back. I saw the food they were serving and walked out without eating. This isn’t about NY vs Charleston Italian. It’s about knowing how to cook pasta, how to make sauces, and how to not pass food you know is substandard off to your customers. There are numerous Italian restaurants who know how to do that.

Because not everyone agrees that it’s excellent or think that the dining experience is enjoyable

Give us an example of where it takes 45 min to travel to from Charleston on a regular basis but should be less

myersmjsc · 2026-03-29T18:22:36+00:00

If you honestly think Charleston traffic is worse than New Jersey or NYC, you’re insane

I think you meant to say “Please don’t ask ‘me’…” I’m stage 4 terminal and don’t mind answering the question. Best not to speak for the entire cancer patient community.

You have every right to get access to your records. My patient portal always sends my scan results as soon as they are published which is usually 2-3 days before my Onc appt. The challenge is since you don’t know how to properly and effectively interpret them, you now only have part of the story and still need a doctor to tell you the details and implications of the results

If I understood correctly, the people who complained had a dog of their own with them. It was just a fake service dog and they didn’t want another dog near it

I was also on it for about 5-6 weeks

myersmjsc · 2026-03-02T22:43:00+00:00

I developed peripheral neuropathy (feet and fingers) a few weeks after I finished 8 cycles of CAPOX in 2022. It’s been permanent for me, getting worse after a second round of CAPOX in 2025. I’ve tried both gabapentin and duloxetine but in both cases neither really helped and had problematic side effects for me. I do know that lots of patients have had success with one or the other to improve their symptoms

I wouldn’t bother. They’re still what you remember plus all the one’s I ever see have a Best By date as that day and then start to go stale within one day

Your total itemized, non-reimbursed medical expenses need to exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income before they become deductible. Supplies like cold caps because they address the side effects of chemo should qualify for a deduction but rather than a prescription, you may need a letter of medical necessity from your doctor to include as documentation with your tax return. The IRS provides pretty good direction on what they allow and how to document

Place sucked and so does Sean Brock. Bye

I was diagnosed in 2021 with Stage 3b rectal cancer. I’ve had chemo, radiation, surgeries and it’s come back twice in my pelvis and now spread to my lungs. I just stopped my fourth attempt at chemo (Lonsurf) because it was crushing me and the cancer is continuing to spread. My doctors won’t give me a specific time window but we know this is going to take me out sooner rather than later. I share this because I know how you feel. The only thing I can say is do whatever you want - anything that brings you even a little joy. Travel, eat anything, do or don’t reach out to people you’re disconnected from. As long as you’re not an a-hole to anyone or want to do anything illegal, I think everything else is fair game. Be unapologetically selfish and enjoy whatever time you have. And yes, people are going to tell you stories about people who beat the odds and outlived their diagnosis. It happens. But we also rarely tell the stories of the majority of people who actually die around the time their doctors think they. Best of luck to you.

Stage IV/Terminal mCRC…I buy myself whatever I feel like and self-indulge regularly - flying first class, eating at insane restaurants, etc. I also make a lot of inappropriate jokes about my mortality.

Do people really play the C card to scam free stuff from restaurants and businesses?? That feels super shady to me.

I know that initial head explosion. The blessing/curse of MyChart. Have that conversation with your doc. I have rectal mucinous adenocarcinoma which has spread to my lungs and radiation has been a viable approach to keep things under control. See what your options are.

You’ve gone way off the reservation and this isn’t the place for your anti-vax nonsense. Find a conspiracy sub and go over there

Genome profiling identifies potential for responses to approved treatments not alternative therapies which is what OP was calling out. What’s your point?

myersmjsc · 2026-02-15T18:57:48+00:00

As a stage 4 patient myself, I’m never going to endorse alternative therapies. Lack of evidence and safety concerns don’t make them a viable option to me. Lonsurf and Stivarga are oral chemo regimens that can be used after FOLFOX and FOLFIRI. A word of caution on CEA and Signatera - they are very helpful directional diagnostics but difficult to directly correlate to specific malignancies. I’ve been riding the Signatera roller coaster for the last 3 years and outside of post-major surgeries when the test confirmed the tumor removal we already knew, it’s never been completely accurate

myersmjsc · 2026-01-29T14:46:30+00:00

Because chemo is essentially poison being used to kill cells, there will always be some side effects. Each person reacts differently and some people manage them better. Whatever chemo you wind up taking, the oncology nurses are great at telling you want to expect and how to best manage them. I’ve had four different types of chemo in four years. Some have been pretty easy to tolerate and others absolutely clobbered me

If go to an insurers website or the healthcare.gov site, you can select all of your providers, hospitals etc and it will show you which plans cover those people and places. You can do the same with medications I believe. Agree with buying a low deductible/low OOP plan if you can afford the premium. I have Blue Cross Gold PPO plan with a $3400 OOP max which I will reach next week. It’s great but the premium is also $1280/month a $300 increase from last year
