My mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last December, so I put my Dubai job plans on hold. She has now completed chemotherapy, is doing much better, and is on hormonal therapy. My father is with her, and my married sister is also available if needed.

I’m thinking of moving to Dubai around February for my career, but I feel guilty and scared about leaving her.

For other caregivers: How did you decide when it was okay to start living your own life/career while your parent was still undergoing treatment?

My friends and I are planning an international trip and are looking for a good and affordable destination from India. ✈️🌍
If you have travelled internationally on a low budget, please share:
The place/country you visited
The total expense per person (including all expenses)
The travel agency you booked with, if any
We are looking for a budget-friendly option. Please share your recommendations! 😊

My cousin was working at Calicut Airport and recently went to Dubai for a job search. He says he got selected for an Emirates/Dubai Airport ground staff job through a recommendation, without any interview. They told him training will be provided and the company will arrange his visa and flight ticket.
Is this a normal employee-referral process, or does it sound suspicious? Has anyone experienced something similar with Emirates/Dubai Airport?

I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max when it launched, and I remember the camera quality being extremely clear and sharp at that time. But recently, I feel like the camera clarity has noticeably decreased, especially compared to how it used to be.
I’ve tried changing different camera settings after watching several YouTube videos, but I still don’t feel like I’m getting the same quality as before.
Has anyone else using the 15 Pro Max experienced this?

Has anyone used tretinoin + azelaic acid? I’ve heard they can make a huge difference in skin texture and pigmentation. ✨
Do I need a dermatologist consultation to decide the right percentage/strength? What strength did you start with, and did you actually see noticeable results?

What skincare product has actually made a noticeable difference to your skin? I’m looking for that one must-buy product that genuinely gives you a healthy, glass-skin kind of glow. ✨

Hi everyone,

This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write.
We have a 5-year-old pug who has always been a beloved member of our family. She has been raised with love and care since she was a puppy.

Unfortunately, due to unavoidable family circumstances, we are no longer able to care for her. My mother is undergoing medical treatment, and we have had to relocate to Kochi. Because of treatment-related restrictions, we are unable to keep our dog with us.
We temporarily left her with an elderly relative, who had clearly told us that they could only care for her for a short period. Due to their age, they are no longer able to look after her properly. As a result, she has developed severe skin problems and is not in good condition at the moment. She deserves much better than this, and it breaks our hearts to see her suffer.

We are not abandoning her. We are trying our best to find someone who will genuinely love her and give her the care, treatment, and attention she deserves.

If you are an experienced dog owner or know someone in Kozhikode or nearby areas who is willing to adopt her and provide a forever home, please respond…

Hi everyone,
My family member has Stage IV cancer and has completed 9 rounds of chemotherapy. The CT scan after treatment showed good improvement, and now we’re waiting for the PET-CT report to decide the next treatment (possibly hormone therapy).
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
What did your PET-CT show after chemotherapy?
Did it show further improvement?
Did your treatment plan stay the same, or did your doctor change it?

I would love to hear from anyone in Kerala who has been living with Stage IV breast cancer for several years. Which hospital are you treated at? How long have you been living with the diagnosis? How has your quality of life been?

Hai Everyone

My mom has Stage 4 breast cancer that spread to her lungs, bones, and a small area of her liver. She has just completed her chemotherapy, and her recent CT scan showed that she is responding well. Her oncologist is planning to switch her to hormone therapy.
She is eating well, talking normally, laughing, using her phone, and overall doing much better than when she first started treatment.
I know everyone’s situation is different, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has had metastatic breast cancer involving the lungs and bones.
How long have you or your loved one been on hormone therapy?
How was the quality of life after chemotherapy?
Did energy levels improve?
Were you able to return to a fairly normal daily routine?
