Cancer can suck it. Dad's best friend from h.s. died of cancer late yesterday. Dad is taking it hard especially realizing he is the LAST of his group of friends standing. That is not an easy realization.

And we got the report on my friend BB who survived multiple myeloma but was having issues with bowel. We don't know if it's metastasis or a new cancer but we know it wasn't caught in time. It's spreading so she'll need chemo if she can tolerate it.

Still having the 4 a.m. wake up panic attacks complete with my usual anxiety driven nausea. Took some ginger tonight and now I have heart burn (thanks for that ginger) HOW do people use these IUDs this thing pinches like mad and the guide lines are tremendously annoying. I can not imagine having sex with them just hanging around in the vagina. Every time you roll over it's there poking you in the cervix. If it wasn't supposed to slow the cancer down I'd beg them to yank the sucker out tomorrow

So thankful thursday - I am thankful for the two week bump up in this appointment. I wanted no one to go with me which might have been a mistake but the only person close enough to have gone with would NOT have made it better.

I'm also thankful SyFy didn't just leave Surreal Estate as a streamer and is airing it now. I know it's far fetched but I find it fun. What I'm less thankful for is they're finding the 'drama' in the form of Luke being a dick because he lost his powers last season.

community rec bitesizedcleaning is active again and the last post hit home because it is something I do. The suggestion was to empty all shopping bags when you come home and put it away then. I just found a bag I bought a month or more ago that was filled with new Halloween stuff that's now out. I have a bad habit of this with anything that's not a grocery bag

I'm also bad about putting away the non-supermarket shopping. I am especially bad about office supplies. I think that's because I've never really established the right home for them.

same here. My apartment isn't big enough for half my crap

Cancer really does suck. I hope you get news today that will make you feel better. That sounds absolutely awful having that IUD in you. Can you have that sucker removed when you get your hysterectomy?

Thanks for the community rec. I definitely need help in that area of my life so I joined.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. Yes the IUD goes with the uterus post operatively

hope the comm is helpful

That's good to hear and thanks!

RE: the IUD. Sounds like the strings are either too long, your bits are particularly sensitive, your cervix moves, or a combination of all of that. Or it's the moon or the tides or...

Yeah. IUDs can be annoying but they're also sometimes a life saver. Mine is due to changing and I'm already sort of leery about the whole procedure. The last time it took three tries to finally get it in AND stay in... 😑

[cornerofmadness]

I think it's a combo of all of the above.

I will agree they are life savers (mine is slowing down my cancer) Hopefully yours is no longer being problematic

[shipperslist]

It took about a year to settle so no, it’s no longer giving me grief. Mine is to treat hyperplasia and as it’s now been five years, I should change it. Not looking forward to it… 😬

[cornerofmadness]

good luck with that.

I'm so sorry about your dad's friend and about yours. Cancer sucks so hard. *hugs*

[cornerofmadness]
