Breast Cancer: Current and Emerging Trends in Detection and Treatment | Terry L. Smith

Thank you to everyone who wished me good vibes and prayers. I am cancer-free and have been in remission for a year. 🎉I went through 6 months of iv chemo (AC - 4; Taxol - 12; + carbo - 5 txts). IV chemo was done on Thanksgiving 2020.

My double mastectomy took place on 12/09/20. No PCR, but 3 clear nodes removed and they believe they removed all of the tumor. Radiation (c. 3/02/20), oral chemo (c. 6/2021), and reconstruction surgery (c. 10/13/21).

Jess7 In abundance of caution we proceeded with the recommendation of 25 rounds of radiation contemporaneous with six months of oral chemo (Xeloda) I‘m not going to like the treatment was awful but I‘m so glad to be over that milestone! Lastly, my first reconstruction surgery on Oct 13, went well. Now it‘s more of a waiting game to see if I can beat the high recurrence rates. 1 year down (12.09.), two go (edited) 2y

It also has a high reoccurrence rate and pops up 12-24 months after. I can‘t wait to be in remission! (edited) 2y

Know My Name: A Memoir | Chanel Miller

What the F#ck! Did we learn nothing from Jerry Sandusky or Larry Nassar or Brock Turner? If you learn of a crime and do not report it are you not guilty of perpetuating that crime, by keeping quiet wouldn‘t you be aiding and abetting the crime, obstructing justice?

I‘m sorry, but this whole article is INFURIATING!

TheLibrarian Ugh...I‘ve given up all hope for our current administration. 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheLibrarian I agree, and I swear as much as they are pushing everyone to get back to normal, they are also passing every shitty thing they can while everyone‘s distracted. I was already mad about Flynn and Manafort, and then I read this! (edited) 4y

Julsmarshall Disgusting. Everyday, it gets worse. 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Julsmarshall I‘m so glad it‘s not just me who feels that way. 4y

Maria514626 Where‘s the screaming emoji! These don‘t do it 😡🤯😱 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheLibrarian @Julsmarshall @Maria514626 This part is very infuriating... “They also give schools a choice in what standard of proof they‘d like to follow, bolster protections for the accused and require live hearings and cross examinations.” Require Live hearings and cross examinations?!?!? Like that isn‘t meant to intimidate people from coming forward. 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Maria514626 maybe 😡🤬🤯😱 4y

Skyrimir She is the WORST!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡 4y

Eyelit JFC this is maddening 🤬 4y

Copwithabook Mandated reporting requires so little time on the part of the reporter. This is ridiculous to not require it! 4y

Hooked_on_books Betsy Devos is a piece of shit 4y

Hooked_on_books I actually posted comments to them during the public comment period. Apparently what I had to say meant nothing. What a surprise. 4y

Megabooks Oh but Betsy DeVos is an awesome champion of women! NOT!!!! 🤬🤬🤬 I‘m mad about this too! 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Hooked_on_books I swear they do that because they must, but don‘t even both to look at or read them. So infuriating! 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Copwithabook And for a coach or teacher, usually an adult in a position of authority over minors this just seems especially egregious. They are in a better position to know bad behavior when they see it then their students, and by not reporting it would seem to be condoning and approving of the behavior. And for college sports where coaches have pressure to “protect” their athletes (and the school‘s rep), not requiring would make coverups... 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ...and settlements with NDA so much easier. 4y

ferskner Eeeeee I love this book so much! 4y

BarbaraBB Is it good? I was gifted this one by @cinfhen but haven‘t read it yet ❤️ 4y

Cinfhen When you‘re in the right mood @BarbaraBB I thought it was a good mindf#ck 4y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I will! I hear many good things about it! 4y

Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB I finished it yesterday and I liked it a lot! More than I expected! As @Cinfhen says, it is definitely a mindf#ck of a book. I didn‘t find it scary or that creepy, tbh, but the mental health vs. religion theme was so well done 👌 4y

The Hobbit | J.R.R. Tolkien

1. 37? Or maybe 36.
2. One younger brother.
3. Four cats, no humans.
4. 'Six of Crows'
5. 'The Hobbit'
6. 😂 or 😻
7. I probably say cat or f#ck the most (sometimes in the same sentence).
8. I don't really like anime (part of my job involves going to a lot of anime conventions).
9. Both! I've never met an animal I didn't love.
10. Coffee before 3pm, decaf tea after 3pm.
11. 'Mostly Harmless'. Or 'Squirrel Girl'.

#HalloWhoAreYou @Gyldholm

mcipher That sounds like an interesting job though. 😆 6y

GondorGirl @mcipher It is! I'm a leatherworker, and anime kids seem to love our stuff. And I really enjoy looking at the costumes and things, so it works out. 6y

mcipher That‘s so cool! My job involves DMV so.... everyone‘s job is more interesting! 😂 6y

“Inej had once offered to teach him how to fall. "The trick is not getting knocked down," he'd told her with a laugh.

"No, Kaz," she'd said, "the trick is in getting back up.”

The best thing of all is it really helps one to not give a f#ck about the things that really don't matter and concentrate instead on the things that do. Oh, and it's funny too.

Kosugi I prefer Fairyland's more 'racy' title, "F#ck Fairyland" but Skottie Young's stuff is a lot of fun. His Rocket Raccoon series for example. My gf loves Kirino, keeps telling me to read "Out". 8y
