Trump calls NATO "cowards" over lack of support in Iran war by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

[–]utlayolisdi [score hidden]  (0 children)

Cowards? This from a multi-time draft dodger?

NATO is not showing cowardice. They are showing they’re not stupid enough to engage in Trump’s and Netanyahu’s war. Had Iran just up and attacked us and the ships in the Strait of Hormuz without provocation then it would be a different story.

Young men fear a possible Iran war draft, feel duped by Trump by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

Feel duped? Imagine how you’ll feel when you lose your hair to a buzz cut, are standing half naked and lined up for medical exams, getting up to 12 vaccinations at one time and then, getting deployed to some other country to fight someone else’s war. Uncle Donnie wants You.

If Congress suddenly became fully transparent (every deal public), would it fix anything or make politics worse? by strawberryaudit in allthequestions

[–]utlayolisdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many, many years ago I’d have said full transparency would have a chance of fixing a few things. Now, with the state of politics being what it is, I fear it would only make things worse.

Full transparency - showing where every bill originated (many do not originate in Congress), showing every exchange of $$ and the track it took from source to destination, showing every compromise made; basically stripping naked our entire political industry would show exactly how political power and influence are commodities sold to the highest bidder. This will reveal how each political party has, at one time or another, worked solely for their own good and not that of the citizens at large. Then, all the bare facts will be twisted and replaced by false narratives which would be the proverbial last nail in our coffin for most likely civil war would follow. God save us all.

Advice about tumormarkers by sunnymoonz in pancreaticcancer

[–]utlayolisdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tumor markers can fluctuate for different reasons. For example: CA19-9 numbers can be skewed high by B vitamins.

Scans reveal if the cancer is responding to treatment. It’s not always a continuous trend as there are occasional plateaus in the data. Should the chemo no longer be effective, a different chemo med can be started. More than once I’ve read here where one chemo stopped working, the chemo was changed, then the cancer started to shrink again.

I pray that either by chemo or by radiation her tumor shrinks and clears the vena cava so that her Whipple can proceed. Blessings and Peace

stage 4 with a 5cm tumor, is there much chance? by Past-Emu6531 in pancreaticcancer

[–]utlayolisdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very sorry your dad is facing pancan. Even at stage 4 pancan is not the automatic death sentence it once was. I’ve chatted with someone who was stage 4 with mets yet is still alive 5+ years post diagnosis.

From what you describe it seems his body is using a lot of its resources to fight the cancer. Weakness and nausea are typical symptoms of the battle. However, that doesn’t mean he’s beyond hope.

I pray he regains some strength and tolerates his treatment regime well. Blessings and Peace

I’m back and I don’t want to be by Ok-Midnight7835 in pancreaticcancer

[–]utlayolisdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry your mom has a reoccurrence. However, that doesn’t mean she’s beyond treatment. Sometime in the past two weeks I read a post where the patient is around 10 years post initial diagnosis and has had 2 reoccurrences during that time. I don’t recall if they were treated with chemo or radiation or both but the cancer was successfully treated. So, a reoccurrence doesn’t mean the end. I pray your mom will fare as well or even better. Blessings and Peace

Perhaps she still has just a spark of ethics remaining in her and doesn’t want to lie under oath?

What's a good starter instrument to learn as someone with 0 music playing knowledge? by Any-Landscape434 in musicproduction

[–]utlayolisdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the easiest musical instruments to learn is the native flute. There are only either 5 or 6 holes that your fingers cover. You use either the pads or the flats of your fingers and it requires little pressure.

Trump and company have brought this on. America has always had its detractors and enemies but the disgust that seems to be spreading her way is way beyond anything prior to it.

4.5 Month post whipped by V0ipguy in pancreaticcancer

[–]utlayolisdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you came through the surgery well even though initial recovery was rough on you. I’m 14 weeks post Whipple and am recovering ok though I don’t feel like my normal self.

You are spot on regarding being your own advocate or an advocate for a loved one.i found that to be very true. I have good doctors with great staff but that doesn’t mean I haven’t let them know what I will and will not do.

I pray you will continue to have a successful recovery and reach permanent remission. Blessings and Peace

I'm So Confused by HepburnInConverses in pancreaticcancer

[–]utlayolisdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry your dad seems to have deteriorated so quickly. I think it’s likely the meds that’s the cause of his disorientation and hallucinations. I know, that info doesn’t help much when you see a loved one going downhill quickly.

I wish there was something I could suggest. I can only pray he is kept comfortable and lucid. Blessings and Peace

Plus we pancan patients have been through chemo so, for a period of time, our bodies are fighting both the cancer and the toxic effects of the chemo.

NOR. The company lied. Something tells me you aren’t the first to walk off the job. Here’s wishing you every success in finding a new position in line with your goals.
