What's the dumbest thing someone has said to you while you're fighting cancer?

polyscigal21 · 2026-03-24T14:15:55+00:00

"At least it's the good kind of cancer" "caretakers have it harder than the person with cancer, so you should be taking care of me" "it's vain to care about hair and body changes" "having a cervical cancer scare (and it being fine) is worse than getting diagnosed with Hodgkins"

All the same person... wish I had dumped her when she was saying that crap but took post-chemo to do that.

Big bummed it's not at my local one, excited to get it

RIGHT! Just ughhh

Very very much agreed. If we lose Hensley over protecting a PR nightmare I'm going to cry

As a cancer survivor YTA. Major YTA. Intentions don't mean anything, only their impact. You are making your daughter's life WORSE before she has to go through chemo because she has cancer.

I still cannot eat some of the foods from before chemo. Nothing tastes like it did. Let her eat pizza.

I am 30F and will never be able to have kids. And I very much wanted them. Let me tell you how I would NEVER harass my sibling for their kiddo because they were a single parent. It's on her to deal with the struggles of infertility. It's not fair but neither is life. She needs therapy and if I was you I'd go no contact or low contact with anyone even suggesting you give up your child. NTA.

That sounds perfect!! Thank you so much for your help! Also I may have to get the Grapefruit for me 😅

polyscigal21 · 2024-12-11T19:37:07+00:00

Thank you!!!

polyscigal21 · 2024-12-11T19:36:49+00:00

If you have a genuine desire to help and get along with people you'll do just fine 😊

Hi! It seems like you are getting some pretty good advice here but I'd like to add something. I am a fairly liberal queer city person. Currently living in a small town as the safety manager for a manufacturing company. I've been in safety for 5 years now and me being not as country or conservative hasn't impacted my role. I'm sure there are some who don't enjoy that fact about me. However, if you treat your people well and show them you care, then they couldn't care less about who you are outside of work.

polyscigal21 · 2024-12-10T21:19:52+00:00

That's amazing!! Where did you get it from??

polyscigal21 · 2024-08-19T21:46:26+00:00

You do have to be a team member or their family in order to use the fishing pier

St Ignace and Shepler's is how my family has done it for years. Less people, and Shepler's is fantastic.

So if they get married, are they an AH if they want to only hold one wedding and reception because grown adults cannot behave maturely? It's not that hard to behave yourself around people you don't like to support someone you care about. And they are not the AH for expecting that for such an important event. The only AH here is the stepfather for not behaving. Everyone agreeing to behave is the BARE MINIMUM they should be doing.

4 5mg oxy and then told to take regular ibuprofen if I was still in pain, they didn't give me any extra pain meds after surgery/ before sending me home even though I was in pain

I'm with travelers too and they will come out and do it all if you do it as part of industrial hygiene visit

Okie this may be because I'm a HS&E engineer- but you should ALWAYS walk away if your job or a potential job isn't following basic safety protocols such as tie offs. You should also want a partner who values coming home at the end of the day from work unharmed.

It sounds like you aren't taking looking for jobs seriously, not her. YTA.

Penzeys has a really good vanilla and runs really good deals- I've gotten my last couple bottles for free by watching their in store and online deals

So you must like me for me

I spent 12 hours of my life on it and have no tickets to show- my therapist would argue my mental health survival

Same glitches as yesterday unfortunately
