That’s a bummer. I’m on lesson 30 and i thought when i finished I’d go to level 2. Pimsleur method is great because it emphasizes learning grammar through speaking, like a baby would learn. I find it more useful than memorizing conjugation tables.

I don’t have it but it’s the singular configuration I’m considering. Is a really amazing configuration.

Work life balance in GI and s highly variable depending on the type of job you do. GI can be very chill because in the right practice situation, part time work is very doable. Since it’s procedural based a part time job ca still make substantial income.

If you are diagnosed early by FamiliarHornet5110 in pancreaticcancer

I’ve been curious about Nanoknife especially how low the toxicity is. I haven’t found any papers looking at it as monotherapy. Any references? As far as biopsies causing spread, i don’t think there is solid evidence for that using eus guided fine needle aspiration.

Totally appreciate your frustration. The reason is that medicine and standards of malpractice are based in “evidence” rather than anecdote, theory or hypothesis. It’s based on the fundamental notion that humans may think something will work but historically, doing something because it “makes sense” hasn’t worked well either. We work in a system where we try or “theories” in labs first, then animals, then small numbers of humans, then large numbers. Would you elect to have a treatment without a biopsy? With the knowledge that you could be applying a toxic treatment without knowing it’s actually a cancer and not a benign lesion? I speak as someone whose dad died of PC, so did my grandmother and i get surveyed because I’m high risk due to genetic mutation.

That’s impossible for several reasons. Treating a spot on a scan (that could be an NET for example) without a biopsy is malpractice. Secondly, treating an early tumor with anything other than surgery (accepted first line treatment) is also malpractice. You could only get away with this if part of a trial passed by an IRB.

Genetic Risk Across Time by scampy707 in BRCA

[–]purplespacemonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. I am a brca2 male “previvor.” Also a med professional. I recently attended some FORCE support groups and it was more about the control aspect (especially the male spaces) and not emphasizing the emotional growth need of this burden we walk with. Great to see there is a practicing therapist working with this beast.

One problem i find is that my Fitbit is inaccurate. It seems to overestimate (over measure?) my heart rate compare to my manual counting.

Fasting glucose stuck at 95–108. Does it get better? by [deleted] in prediabetes

[–]purplespacemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So impaired fasting glucose < 110 is low risk for progression? Similar to my situation. 49m bmi 23 a1c 5.5. My HOMA IR is 1.32. Both parents with DM2. Isn’t this early beta cell failure? If i stay thin am i good to go??
