  1. I feel extremely lucky actually. This week is my 3 year anniversary of being diagnosed. After that I tried to work part-time for a few months but my lack of fucks was too much to overcome and I decided I was never going to work again. I went through about 18 months of infusion hell and what it bought me was 18 months of the happiest time of my life. I have visited around 20 countries, traveling for months at a time. This is only possible because I drained my retirement accounts and had next to no responsibilities. When I was home I did nothing but smoke weed and play video games. I am a person who has struggled with self acceptance and self hatred my entire life and I completely gave all of that up, it just didn't matter to me anymore and I lived the life I wanted to live. I was extremely unhappy in my worker bee life and getting cancer opened my eyes to just how unhappy I was. Anyway, it's kind of shocking how quickly I'm deteriorating now. 6 weeks ago I was walking around Spain for hours with no significant issues. Earlier this week I felt as though I had ran a marathon for a walk from the parking lot up to the hospital lab, a journey I've easily made well over 100 times the last 3 years, even during the toughest of the chemo days. I'll be moving in with my mom and her husband next week and then I'll probably make the choice to begin hospice pretty soon after that. I thank everyone for the support and this thread is really the only place I talk about this stuff so it's definitely been positive impact on my experience.
  2. This thread is like reading an AU liberal texags thread
  3. 32
  4. Couldn't get accepted to the trial, then I think it was released recently but Medicare wouldn't approve "off-label" since it's primary is lung cancer. I took the oral version and it did nothing. I might be getting mixed up with something else though.
  5. It's an nrg1 protein fusion. Well, after increasing problems the last few weeks, I got the call yesterday that the extensive liver tumors have started to majorly block liver function and failure is on the way. Unless some miracle happens and they start to shrink my timeline is a few weeks to a few months.
  6. Well at least there's a happy ending!
  7. Who does trump think "THE PEOPLE" are going to purchase this cheaper, better insurance from?
  8. Those avenues have and continue to be explored. Mda had a drug trial specific to the gene mutation but I wasn't accepted.
  9. Colon cancer with spread to liver, lungs, and lymphnodes. And to be clear there are unexciting options but my body is too trashed right now or they will cause side effects where the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I appreciate the support but my doctor and I are on top of these things, the goal has always been extending time with quality of life considerations. I have a rare gene mutation where something like 80% of people with this mutation are diagnosed before 40 and very rarely make it past 50. I'm 43 and was diagnosed with stage 4 at 40. I've been on various treatments for about 2.5 of those 3 years and my body is just trashed from them. Pumped out 3.5 liters of gross stuff this afternoon. Not as much relief as I was hoping for but at least I don't feel Thanksgiving dinner stuffed all the time.
  10. Apparently the source of my extreme discomfort lately is fluid in the abdomen. Getting that crap drained tomorrow, supposed to make me feel like new. Also everything grew significantly in the last scan so I decided to get rid of the chemo pill I've been taking that has been making life unpleasant lately. No real options left at this point beyond hoping for a relevant trial. I've been lucky to have been able to keep the disease relatively stable for the last three years but it seems like the decline has begun. It's an interesting transition to make mentally. I've dealt with a lot of shit in those 3 years but at the same time things are just now starting to feel "real"
  11. Were the potatos popular with the children bussed in by antifa?
  12. Is iceman slorch or swam? Either way on fucking brand. Jesus.
  13. Let me introduce you to the greatest plant on earth
  14. I think a lot of the complaints of the last few pages would go away if you old people would stop going into brick and mortar stores. I get it, I grew up going to them too but the world has changed and better options are available now.
  15. Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or fuckin' beatin's. The world ends when you're dead. Until then you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back
  16. I spend an absolutely embarrassing amount of money on doordash but I'm a lazy pothead
  17. I've dealt with two corporate vets recently and while the doctors were just as caring and professional as you'd want it was sickening the amount of upselling and extras they try to pawn off on you. My main vet is a local 1 location practice but they are always booked solid for 2+ weeks and the corporate places you can usually get in to see someone within a day.
  18. There are plenty of fat people in KC but whenever I connect though DFW the size difference of passengers is always shocking. It has to be the fattest airport in the world.
  19. Not only this but on a 1-10 scale I haven't had an orgasm above a 2 in 3 years. For a period they were a -1 but you still have to release the pressure.
  20. Much of it, yes. Honestly I prefer the fun everyman vibe and prime location of the linq over most of the the strip. Next time I'm skipping the strip and staying downtown.
  21. When I first went to Vegas at 21 in '03 I walked through the bellagio and thought it was the most luxurious place I'd ever seen. Stayed there in 2022 and felt it was the best example of faux luxury I've ever seen. A hotel for people who wear Gucci slides.
  22. Clear! My biggest euro tip is always pay the extra 20-30 bucks for first class.
  23. I had first class booked from Paris to basil and I sat in the first car (one of those split class cars with a large vestibule) from the beginning of the journey. I think it was tgv and no assigned seating so they don't limit tickets. I had my headphones in the whole time and wasn't really paying attention behind me but as we are nearing basil I get up to throw away some trash and the vestibule was completely packed with commoners like you'd expect to see in India. Haven't seen this on any other high speed service anywhere in the world.
  24. Many of the large maga Twitter accounts are very obviously not ran by Americans, or at least people who use English as a first language. This kind of goes along with how shockingly little money those accounts make despite posting clickbait 18 hours a day. I remember reading that even the successful accounts only make 30k-60k US a year, but that's a great salary in eastern Europe or Russia.
