This label confuses me immensely. Is it 3.5 c per serving and then 2.5 in the box popped? 307? Or is it 425 from 170 times 2.5? Why the two columns? Who is raw dogging popcorn kernels?
Hey guys!
This week I am asking my oncologist to go back up to my full dosage for xeloda. This will be approximately my 70th cycle (3 yrs.) What's the current record for this? I tried googling the all-time high and couldn't find an answer. What are the high scores in the group if you dont mind me prying?
Thanks!
Hi all!
This is hopefully a long way off, but I want to ask some input from families and especially children of cancer pts.
I am stage IV and doing ok-ish now. I have been married to my husband for 17 years, and there have been plenty of ups and downs. It has been a lot harder the last 3 years, but we are navigating and figuring it out.
I had originally always wanted to redo our wedding. We did it bigger and his way the first time for his family with no honeymoon because we traveled to his family to get married. I wanted something more intimate and went so far as to push an elopement and a big trip, and we had decided to do it for our 10 year anniversary. That year, I received my de novo stage IV diagnosis, so we weren't able to.
I kind of want to do a death wedding (a black dress would've suited me better anyway) now when it's time for hospice or maybe when I transition to intravenous? An intimate ceremony and releasing my husband to find love again? I wonder if it would be a twist on what we originally planned that might make it easier for my kids to accept him moving on later while also being a celebration of life and family? We dont plan on a traditional funeral for many reasons, and why have a big to do about me that I dont even get to enjoy? My girls were 5 and 7 when I was diagnosed and are 12 and 15 now.
Has anyone heard of anything like this? Does it sound crazy or uncomfortable?
I saw my daughters middle school play last night and another actress stepped on her lines or so I thought! My daughter actually flubbed and said one of hers too early cutting the other girl off by a sentence. This is how Jamie Tacos start...
I have a friend from work who also has stage IV cancer. We aren't that close anymore, and it's largely because of how he is navigating and dialoguing about his illness. He is going 40% traditional 60% ivermectin, fenbendazole, holistic... That by itself is his journey and business, and I want everyone to feel like they have agency and choice in their treatments.
That being said, he fancies himself an influencer, and the way he talks about our local oncology team is so disrespectful.
They could never handle what hes going through.
They're so ignorant and dismissive of holistic 'miracles.'
They just talk instead of provide solutions.
I can not abide this rhetoric. I owe my life to this oncology team. He has offered to come with me to set them straight when I wasn't feeling well because he feels their more interested in sickness than in health. Needless to say, I politely declined.
I feel guilty being distant (though I dont know that he even notices tbh.) Theres also a small part of me that wonders how honest he's being with his platform. I wonder if I should try and post responses because he gives chemo and local medical teams such a bad name, but I dont know that it wouldn't fall on deaf ears. There's a morbid curiosity that keeps me watching his posts but not feeling very sympathetic, and I feel guilty about that, too. Do I just unfollow and unsubscribe? We would still run into each other at the church we both attend, but maybe hed make me less bonkers in that space if I didn't know how he was being outside of it? Anyone going through something similar?
