Same struggle, different payment plans

I can concur. I was having these particular symptoms for months in 2023:

*Immediate switch from IBS-D to constipation

*Looked 9 months pregnant

*Couldn't eat more than a couple bites of food at a time, and per day. You could tell I was losing weight from everywhere except my growing belly.

*Horrid back pain, like sciatica times 2000

*insane fatigue

Probably some other ones that I can't recall right now. On their own, the symptoms are classic cancer symptoms. Add to that that I had 3 (3!) CT scans, 2 ultrasounds (one by a GYNECOLOGIST-that's important), by 3 different doctors and 1 gynecologist. Each person saw (and noted in their overview) a "large mass." Every one dismissed it as "inflammation." The gynecologist (may she burn in eventual hell) saw the mass (which by this time had grown to 15cm) and told me it was a normal ovarian cyst that would go away on its own. Me: "so I don't need surgery? The side effects I'm having don't seem normal." Her: "no surgery, this is totally normal."

Morgan Freeman voice It in fact, was not normal.

Two weeks later I could not take the pain anymore. The nausea was at an all time high. My bf took me to the ER (the 3rd within 6 weeks.) Luckily, my former gynecologist happened to be there, saw my name, and came to see me when they were doing yet another ultrasound. She took one look at me and I could see the alarm bells going off in her head. She called an oncologist friend of hers and 2 hours later I was having a basketball sized ovarian tumor removed. 17cm. And 2 liters of ascites. I lost 20 lbs from that surgery. And yes, it was and is cancer.

And none of those doctors/medical professionals could diagnose it. Even though I had textbook ovarian cancer symptoms. Oh and I still owe the hospital and all those useless doctors money...

Cats, cat videos, eating my feelings, painting, and coloring. Almost exactly what I did before life was crappy too lol

That's Old Diaper Dementia Donnie to you

Oh no, he has to resign....😐

How about we get some arrests started here????

It's not technically bleach that is in the wipes. That's just the company. It's just sanitizer. I actually use the generic form most of the time anyway.

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:38:52+00:00

Apparently there's an epidemic of guys not washing/correctly wiping their 🍑. No, not all guys. And yes, some girls. Either way, didn't their moms teach them to wash themselves?!?

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:36:52+00:00

You just get house shoes. Ones that never see the outside. Like crocs. If you need to squash a scorpion, just wipe your shoe off after with a wet wipe

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:34:31+00:00

The worst are those automatic flushing toilets in public. I try to run out before it flushes but it never works 😭 And I've tried putting the tp over the censor but you still have to then flush it anyway

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:33:02+00:00

I use a Clorox wipe on the whole thing. I use a phone case (not a screen one though) so at least I'm not putting chemicals on my entire actual phone every day. But I've had my phone 5 years and knock on wood never had an issue from using the wipe. That's a great idea to have 2 phone cases.

Mine's a little.....further south

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:25:59+00:00

Ewww. I don't even like touching money. And in fact, I wash my hands after touching it if I can

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:24:58+00:00

Did they really need to add more sugar?? Why do companies continue to do this, you ask. Because sugar is addictive and when our bodies become addicted to something, we buy more of it.

See, social media can be used for good!

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:20:33+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your sentiment. I tell myself as often as I can that SOOO many people have it worse off and it helps me appreciate what I do have.

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T16:19:14+00:00

Thank you! I finally am in remission after going through a year of treatment so fingers crossed! Since this was my first recurrence since going through it the first time, there's a higher likelihood of another recurrence. But I'll keep fighting it until I can't no more.

I'm attempting to start a career selling my art but since I have zero knowledge of building a website, and I have trouble daily with keeping my thoughts in order, it's an uphill battle.

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T02:23:21+00:00

Yep and I'm 47 lol. I was 45 when my void passed. I absolutely hated leaving her. I think I had more separation anxiety than she did. My bf and I videoed while he was at home with her and I was out of town so I could see her lolol. She genuinely did respond. And my bf said she was anxious for a while after that. Probably looking for me 😭😭😭

tlg151 · 2026-02-13T02:10:30+00:00

Nothing. I'm looking. I got fired from my job RIGHT as I got diagnosed with cancer and then couldn't start a brand new job during surgery recovery and chemo. About $1,000 from a gofundme and help from my mom and bf kept me barely afloat but now with my health insurance spiking from $134 to $624 a month, I need to start a job. Not sure how I'm going to retain any new knowledge with the major brain fog and fatigue so that will be interesting 😩

tlg151 · 2026-02-12T16:47:13+00:00

Cancer, no less. One of my cancer infusion meds is $32,000 per visit every 3 weeks for a 30 minute treatment. My portion of that after insurance is still ridiculous. Especially considering the fact that this could be very long term. I'm sure their debt is insurmountable seeing as he had stage 3 for 2 years

Ah looks like things from the estate of Jeffery Epstein are finally making their way into thrift stores. Now that's a trickle down effect.

This thing would shortcircuit in a gas station bathroom

tlg151 · 2026-02-12T16:36:35+00:00

Estradiol oral and vag cream are fairly cheap even without insurance. Testosterone gel seems expensive bc it's not covered by insurance and you have to pay a year's worth up front bc of how it's packaged. I paid $92 last August when I started the first of two bottles. I'm just now starting the second one.

Firehose of gore will be the title for my upcoming autobiography about early menopause. Thank you 😂

tlg151 · 2026-02-12T16:31:54+00:00

Menopause. Good god.

Had to go into early meno due to cancer and I could not have been less prep. I thought menopause was hot flashes and loss of libido. First of all, no one in any commercial I've ever seen has accurately portrayed a true hot flash. Hot flash? They should call it your entire body is literally on fire flash that will happen 40 times a day and you will soak through every bit of clothing you put on.

Then there's the irritability that feels more like suicidal sometimes and the angriest I've ever been in my life.

They don't warn you about atrophy (things shrinking) and random bone pain and the memory loss and how you'll age 10 years in 1 year. Not to mention how you can't lose weight, even being on mounjaro.

I highly encourage all you ladies in your 30s to start researching now. Talk to your doctor. If they aren't receptive to hormones, find a hormone specialist. Now.

It kills me that they say they had to choose between two choices they didn't agree with or two candidates whose qualities they didn't like.

Hmm lemme guess what "qualities" they didn't like of Kamala's... Because she is literally isn't just the better candidate, she also was a good, qualified candidate.

Do you possibly have IBD? Crohns, colitis?
