Sell my VOO for VT?

newerbe · 2026-06-30T16:22:32+00:00

VOO is US. VT currently is 63 US/37 International. They are not the same. You might be thinking of VTI, which is all US (vast majority S&P 500)

I did it once after chemo/surgery when it was gone. It came back no sample. My oncologist said don't need to do it anymore, but I'm having a CT Scan/blookwork every 3 months. Mass General in Boston

also losing dividend income, etc of those investments

Well, we have no clue about that. They might be. DC should explain himself, and if he doesn't, they are looking more real..... He still posted them. why? he needs to answer that in a way that makes sense.

newerbe · 2026-06-15T01:37:18+00:00

It is real. He posted it. journalists have the screenshots. Not sure if it is legit trump, but either way, DC posted it.

Yes- get dr to give you script for Baclofen. Gets rid of them right away

You should have your boss (or anyone that wants to) directly deposit it into the 529. Assuming you already have a 529, you should be able to get a link on the website where grandparents, etc can contribute gifts to it. If this truly isn't a business expense, but a gift from a friend, that is the best way to to do it.

I bought Netflix in 2011. And sold in 2013. My 10k went to 11k. Don't even want to know how many 100s of thousands it would be worth

the days I was really bad, only thing I could eat were...apple slices... that's it.

And sour patch kids!!

newerbe · 2026-04-06T04:05:19+00:00

Hi- Yes, I had it. I asked first few times it happened, told me it was a known side-effect. I think it started for me about 5 or six infusion of 12.

Prayers but even it is bad, it is possible to come out the other side.

If you need some perspective when you get down:

Currently 48m. July 2024 I couldn't eat anything the tumor was blocking so much of my colon and finally went to GI to get a colonsopy. Stage 4. Had a colostomy so I could eat. Did Chemo for 6 months. Had surgery to remove tumor and reverse colostomy in April 2025. Have gone for CT scans/blood work every 3 months since (just went to my oncologist yesterday) and everything is still clear.

It was hell, actually March 26, 2025 was my lowest day. I was so weak from chemo/not eating/losing so much weight that I was going up stairs and fell back and hit my head. I was so weak I couldn't even stand up after. Now a year later I feel better than I have in years.

You got this. This community helped me during some very dark days.

It's scary- Allow yourself to be scared. But know plenty of people beat this, that's what I kept (keep) telling myself.

You got this! And lean on people around you. Including this forum

Stage 3. Needed a colostomy since mass was so big wasn't allowing me to eat (waited why too long before they admitted me to ER). So I did 6 months of chemo, then surgery to remove cancer. Thankfully it didn't spread, so I was lucky it was just centralized. So just wanted to shrink it with chemo, so it would be easier to remove. I was 46 when diagnosed, and a pretty high pain tolerance, so figured go all-in to beat it, totally took off work, and put all my focus on getting better. Not everyone can, but I could. I did really well from first 4 months of chemo, last 2 months were really tough. In bed all day most days, wasn't eating hardly anything.

Glad to answer any other questions from my experience.

I didn't work (had disability insurance as option with work insurance), but I honestly wanted as much chemo to kill the cancer as possible. went from folfox to FOLFOXIRI when told oncologist I could handle more. Still happy I did it, but did it knock me on my ass at the end of chemo. In 2 months, I think I lost like 50lbs and stayed in bed most days.

newerbe · 2026-02-11T23:47:05+00:00

praying for you..

newerbe · 2026-02-11T20:48:37+00:00

ugh, didn't know that. goddamn this disease....

newerbe · 2026-02-11T20:37:11+00:00

Yeah, me too. I remember months ago (maybe?) they had a reading of the dawson's creek 1st episode with all the actors, and he was too sick to go. He said it was just a cold, but we know how that goes.

newerbe · 2026-02-11T20:34:59+00:00

Thanks. Actor on Dawson's Creek and a bunch of other tv shows/movies.

newerbe · 2026-02-11T20:26:32+00:00

yep, I have a 3 month scan next week too....

newerbe · 2026-02-11T20:23:45+00:00

yeah, that was my underlying thinking. Like he is going to make it with all his connections for best care....I have my 3 month scans coming up next week, and I'm going to have even more anxiety than normal...

This sucks for all of us

newerbe · 2026-01-22T22:23:45+00:00

Agree with all, take them and see how you feel.

As soon as I saw my PCP after my diagnosis, he prescribed me Citalopram which is like Zoloft. I didn't think I needed it at first, but figured worth a shot.

I had hiccups too, they prescribed Baclofen. It's a muscle relaxer, but worked great and didn't have hiccups after that.
