I finally reached my 100 days several weeks ago and had my biopsy 2 weeks ago. The transplant Dr ask me to reach out to the office today to get results.

I called the office this morning and had to leave a message. I was able to login to my patient portal account and I was looking at the Coloseq report that stated I was in remission. I cried right then an there on a couch. The past 12 months have been hell, getting chemo weekly for 7 months, going through the whole process in getting ready for the auto stem cell transplant. Then recovering from it. It was all a lot.

I then get a call back a couple hours later from the Dr and she basically told me everything I just found out. I'll begin maintenance soon. My wife was so happy, but I didn't cry, I had already cried a couple hours ago. Not 5 mins after I said I had already cried, tear just start running down my cheeks. I had to tell myself that I was proud of everything that I had done. It was like being on a rollercoaster, and now I get to ride the kiddy tea cups.

I'm very happy for the results, happy for all the support I got along the way from family. One thing I'm not excited for is taking lenalidomide again, I hate that drug.

To everyone else that is on this journey and are nervous about their upcoming ASCT, I pray for you. The transplant itself is really no big deal, the days after are, but you've made it this far because you have so much life left to live. Also cheers to everyone who is years past their ASCT and living their lives. F cancer!

Hey guys, so I applied to this position and was ecstatic to get a reply back for an interview. The recruiter set up an interview with Google Meet at 10AM this morning, which at first was fine. Usually I have interviews using Zoom or Teams, but didn't think about it at all at the time.

I like to be prepared so I turned on my laptop and clicked on the link at 9:55AM to just be ready. The link takes me to a weird page and says that Google Meet needs to updated. I'm like okay, so I click on the link to download the update. I look at the properties before actually installing and it is NOT by Google.

I then pull up Google Meet on a separate tab and obviously, it's asking to enter a code to join a meeting. I email the recruiter back and state that I would need a code to join the meeting. He replies back and tells me that I need to update Google Meet. No bro, I am not installing an application for Google Meet that's not from Google, so you can just hack into my laptop and steal all of my information. So I responded that I will not be downloading some weird update when I can easily access it via a separate tab that does not require anything other than a code to join.

I took the day off work for this. I guess at the end of the day, I am still employed. I was just checking to see what's out there as I am currently looking for a new job, but I swear, these scams are getting more sophisticated. Good luck to everyone that's still on the job hunt!
