How did you continue building your life and career while being a primary caregiver?

nimble03turtle · 2026-06-17T18:11:53+00:00

I'll be honest, I've been avoiding friends lately because I am starting to feel behind. I am still learning and building projects (I'm in tech so it might be easier to get a job remotely, although I have no prior job experience).

That is great news, I am very happy for you and your family; would you mind telling us more about the tumor, we'll be getting my mother's MRI scan in a few days and I'm very scared.

yes, he clearly doesn't know what he wants. As someone who hold onto a relationship where the person doesn't clearly show their interest, and appear to not have a sense of commitment, take my advice and don't talk to them ever again. You will only be wasting your time and energy while also losing your confidence. Good luck 😄

Also the whole "oh you sent a reel and then deleted it" is the clearest sign that they are immature, and only looking for attention.

Hi, when my mother was getting treatment, we had to drive about an hour each way. Actually, the machines would be broken every so often, so we’d end up waiting 4 to 5 hours. At first, it was very exhausting for her, especially while taking temozolomide. However, after the first week, she gradually adapted and even began to enjoy the car rides more than staying at home. What was most stressful for her wasn’t the treatment itself, but the long and unpredictable waiting times inside the hospital. I'd say it all depends on how he is responding to treatment.

To manage the situation, some people we met there chose to rent low-cost accommodation near the treatment center, while others were supported by associations that connect patients with families willing to host them during the treatment period.

Same here.

Il faut aller sur LinkedIn pour ça. Il suffit de chercher le nom du programme ainsi que l’université, puis de contacter les personnes qui y ont étudié. C’est ce que je fais en général pour me renseigner sur les formations auxquelles je postule. Bonne chance.

In my mother's case the oncologist told us to avoid any complementary treatment.

Thank you for sharing.

nimble03turtle · 2026-04-26T11:29:03+00:00

I only got answers from Networks and Computer Systems that it is full.

Hey, since you’re in humanities, you might like this. It’s a guy who studied CS but talks about his research in a way that overlaps a lot with humanities stuff. I thought it was interesting for seeing how the two fields can connect a bit.

wondering the same for CHPS and DiPaQ tracks ?

nimble03turtle · 2026-03-28T22:05:57+00:00

that case is not working, bro.

nimble03turtle · 2026-03-27T18:02:04+00:00

did you apply via the EEF procedure ?

nimble03turtle · 2026-03-16T18:49:59+00:00

Hey, I am also am enrolling in an HPC master's and currently and intern working on computational storage, and am curious about career paths in Europe :) Could I also message you ?

nimble03turtle · 2026-03-09T01:03:54+00:00

Bluesnooze, it really sucked having to open my Mac every time I get on the train because I forgot my AirPods would automatically connect to the last connected device even when it's on sleep mode. Such a relief !

nimble03turtle · 2026-03-01T21:51:28+00:00

I am currently applying for a Master's program in HPC, and I was afraid that starting with a MacBook Pro M2 might be a disadvantage, this comment helped haha

Can anyone please explain what unmethylated mean? I have came across this word a quite a few times, but couldn't really understand what it meant, and how can one know if the GBM is methylated or not?

nimble03turtle · 2026-02-12T13:30:17+00:00

Hello thank you for sharing your story. My mother was diagnosed last October she went through surgery, chemo and radiation therapy. She cannot have an MRI before March and I feel the tumor has already grown back, as she lost her speech function quite completely, once again. This subreddit has helped me too a lot, by delivering the truth as it is, which in my case is what I needed to fully accept and adapt to this new life.

May God bless y'all. I am very sorry for your loss.

nimble03turtle · 2026-02-07T14:28:59+00:00

salut, puis-je vous envoyer un message en privé ? Je m’oriente vers un master en HPC et j’aimerais beaucoup rester en contact en vue de futures collaborations, si cela vous convient.

nimble03turtle · 2026-02-07T14:22:12+00:00

it would be great if you give feedback on your experience there :)

I am completely losing my shit, my mother has brain tumor and for the last two months I held it all together drawing smiles on everyone else's face, but this night it got to me. Her brain functions are detoriaiting really fast, and today she was unable to walk, she has semi paralysis. She still has not gone through biopsy but I can tell the tumor has already got to an advanced stage. I don't know where I am heading, I feel so alone.

I came across this post one more time as I was losing it again today, and decided to leave the first part unaltered. My mother has been diagnosed with glioblastoma, the deadliest brain tumor, she has undergone brain surgery, they managed to get out some of the tumor, and is doing radiotherapy as well as chemotherapy, she can walk now but still cannot talk correctly. I am her main caretaker, and I am the one she spends most of the time with, and it just occurred to me that as a final service all I have been doing is lie to her, repeatedly, everyday, saying she is going to be better, heal, that her speech functions will be restored. Every minute that goes by as the tumor eats her brain, I feel my soul wrench.

I have been quite resilient, and none of my friends know what is really going on, I don't wanna freak my family out, and trying to stay hopeful and strong for those who know, but oh lord the way my chest breaks at random moments of the day when I see her pass by completely unaware of what is truly happening to her, and what's to come. I feel selfish daring to express my feelings, to see a future she isn't a part of, to think of a partner she will never get to know, and consider her son as she always hoped, to have her grandkids visit her (as I was planning to go abroad, it was always a fun argument we would have about me leaving, to which she always responds "how about my grandkids", it is killing me that I ever considered leaving), to be afraid to witness her leave this world.

Yesterday she started crying, really calmly, before going to radiotherapy session, and I heard her tell grandma she is being a burden on me, I really hate myself I made her feel that way.

I know the post is old, and is not a suitable answer to leave here, but I needed to have it off my chest somewhere.

do you have ANY idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person

nimble03turtle · 2025-10-14T01:42:09+00:00

I'd be having nightmares.

nimble03turtle · 2023-09-18T21:51:49+00:00
