Serious question

Are you subscribed to Tommyinnit? He is trying to get to 15K becuase Highpixal will give him a custom rank, that only Technoblade has ever gotten, and they will personaly donate 50,000$ to the sarcoma foundation which is Technoblade's cancer foundation. I want to try to help him go and double check that subscription to Tommy 🫶

(Sorry for my English, I’m Dyslexic)

It just fell upon me: does anyone know the numbers of about how much of the sarcoma research is actually funded by Minecraft YouTubers?

Prefacing this by saying that I have chronic pain, which has existed for most - if not all - of my life (yes even when I was a child). I also currently have cancer and am actively going through chemo treatments.

ANYWAYS

My boyfriend today told me (roughly) that I need to stop doing so much during the day (I was holding 2 cat beds and some other stuff that needed to be washed and told him I needed to go to CVS for meds after I started laundry and then I wanted to come home and workout). I was confused, because I didn't feel like it was all that much, and I only had 2 clients + supervision earlier. He said that the day after I do "too much" I'm usually in bed the next day for most of it, or my pain levels are higher. I nodded and said "yes," waiting for actual things that happen after I do "too much." He basically just repeated what he said in different ways when I continued to give him a blank expression. I kept telling him that that's normal for me. He didn't seem to believe me. I told him he hasn't previously lived with me (since when I have low energy-high pain days I usually avoid people and interactions, so he didn't previously see the effects of me doing stuff on a day but he does now since we live together). He said he's lived with me for 8 months now. I said again that that's pretty normal for me and is a pretty common pattern, and that the exhaustion I feel on the day after doing stuff lessens the more I get used to doing stuff. This means that it'll take some time for my body to acclimate to doing things, since chemo has pretty much taken so much out of me for the past 5 months. Eventually he accepted (or gave up with trying to change my mind?) when I said something along the lines of "this is normal, and it's only 'too much' when I cause a flare-up, which I haven't done yet."

I also don't think he actually knows what a real flare-up (fibro) looks like for me. I think he's only heard of it and what it does, but I don't think he's actually *seen* one. I mean, maybe I've had one in these past 5 months since starting chemo, and maybe I just blamed it on chemo? I'm not sure, but that's also kind of besides the point.

So it's interesting to me, as someone who has lived in my body my entire lifetime and has had to navigate different energy and pain amd fatigue levels, that someone else who has lived with me for less than a year, is able to tell me what "too much" is in terms of what I can do during the day. Now it's not to say that sometimes he is absolutely correct when I do too much, and I will openly give him that. But also, this is the most steady energy I've had for multiple days on end in months, and I feel that I'm at least *sort of* pacing appropriately?

16/5/2024 beginning of this thread, i’ll be using it to log this lump in my elbow

for some background, a few weeks ago i noticed a small bump in my elbow and didn’t think nothin of it, but over the past few weeks or so it’s been growing a notable amount and yesterday at work my coworker who i hadn’t told about it or even mentioned my previous history of cancer (soft tissue sarcoma in my thigh in 2020) to saw the elbow lump and asked about it, and turns out if i let the light hit it just right and look in a mirror i can see it now, and it does feel bigger than it’s been. i’m gonna be so real, why dying doesn’t scare me, having cancer again does. it’s the loss of control. the feeling like i’m burdening everyone around me. it’s the pain that can come with it. i’m so scared.

i know i’m probably over reacting ik that joints in particular are quite susceptible to cysts! that’s what i’m hoping it is, but i’ve had sarcoma before. i clearly have the genes.

i have a doctors appointment monday (20/5/2024)!!! hopefully she takes me seriously

Cancer is a weird thing.

That sounds crazy when you don’t have cancer because duh, cancer is a weird thing

But having cancer (especially when it’s likely going to kill you sooner rather than later) makes you feel a little bit like you’re just biding your time until you eventually fall asleep and go to bed. That heavy eyed sleep, where you feel like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

I talk about dying and how I would want my body to be taken care of, and people outside of my family get freaked out. They talk like there’s no chance I don’t pull through and that it’s my destiny to live. And the crazy thing about this is that there is a small chance that I don’t die.

But I have a feeling that’s not my story.

You ever just get a feeling about how something will go? It’s that.

I read “The Fault in Our Stars” the first time I was diagnosed. I could relate to Hazel, the way people stare at you, and the weird incomplete acceptance of death. I was always curious if my story would mirror that of Augustus.

“Do I die at the end?”

I never realized how uncommon that line of thought was until I told a friend of mine that I kept wondering if I die at the end.

“I can’t imagine what goes through your head most days”

He believes that I survive long enough to die of old age or a freak accident. Most do.

But my Mother looks at me and I know that she sees what I see: a sick kid. Maybe one that doesn’t recover. And I know it in the way she kisses my forehead and the way she holds my hand.

I know death like an old friend. Familiar and comfortable. I know I’ll sleep well in their hands. The same way I sleep when my mother holds me.

To better skin,

Howl

Alluvial - Death Is But A Door

As a huge music fan, I try to keep my ear to the ground and see what kinds of bands and artists are on the come up, or what’s been getting a lot of hype, because I want to be on top of any band or artist getting a lot of praise and buzz in any particular scene, especially the heavy metal scene. I’ve been a metalhead for the last decade now, and I tend to keep up with what’s popular and what bands are getting buzz, but one band that apparently has been getting a lot of buzz for the past few years is progressive and technical death metal / deathcore band Alluvial. This band began from a former guitarist of The Faceless, and it also began as an instrumental act, but their second album, 2021’s Sarcoma, brought on board a vocalist, more specifically a former vocalist of Suffocation. I’ve listened to Sarcoma a few times, and that record is a really unique slice of death metal that encompasses a lot of different sub genres of metal. They just dropped a new EP, entitled Death Is But A Door, and I was really curious about this, so before I listened to Sarcoma, I thought this would be a good introduction to this band, as a lot of EPs typically are. They’re a 15 to 20-minute introduction, so if you’re not into it, you don’t feel as though you spent much time with it. If you do love it, however, and it has some good replay value, it’s short enough to revisit over and over again.

So where does this EP fall? Well, it falls into the latter, thankfully, as this EP merely continues what the band did with Sarcoma, but this was my introduction to them, and I was blown away. This is a four-song EP that shows what the band can do, especially if you want a short little introduction to these guys, you got it. The first three songs are death metal bruisers that will get you head banging in no time, as they combine deathcore, djent, progressive death metal, and technical death metal into a ferocious package. Both the instrumentation and vocals are top notch, and they showcase every member, not just one or two. This is the kind of band where each member gets their time to shine, not just the vocalist or the guitarist.

The last track, which is the title track, is where things slightly deviate from what we’ve heard in the prior three songs, but not by much. This song is a bit slower and more melodic, as there are clean vocals on this song, which sort of threw me for a loop, but Sarcoma features more clean vocals. If you’re not familiar with this band, the clean vocals may put you off a bit, but they’re fine. They’re more in the hard-rock style of clean vocals, but they’re still good. They provide some contrast, especially with this song being slower and more ballad-esque, but I could see someone not being into this song. I enjoy it, but it does kind of halt the momentum of the EP, because it kind of stops it almost. Not quite, but it does bring it down a bit.

That’s kind of a minute issue, as it still rules, and this EP is great from front to back. It’s only 17 minutes, but it’s a barrage of heaviness for that time. It keeps you wanting more and wanting to go back to it time and time again. I’ve been playing it a lot this past week, since I found it, and it’s great. I don’t know if it’s a standalone EP or if it’s a teaser to a new record, and if it’s the latter, that would be awesome. Their last album came out three years ago, so it would be cool to hear another new album from these guys. I don’t know how they escaped my attention, but I’m glad they put this out, so I can properly hear of them, because this is some of the most interesting and unique death metal I’ve heard in a long while, so hopefully these guys stay on that path, because they’re on their way to becoming one of death metal’s buzziest bands, and this EP is a perfect example why.

Feels like we’re a world away.

Okay I actually really enjoyed that radiation doc

I 100% do *not* want to add radiation into my treatment plan, ESPECIALLY after hearing about what that treatment would look like

Would I love to add this doctor to my team? I mean, with his personality and how he presented himself today, he would probably be one of my favorite team members. But it would also mean adding radiation onto my regimen, and at this point that sounds like a hard pass

Good to know there are still doctors out there (however few they may be) that actually ASK if you have any questions before you leave and actually EXPLAIN their thought process, what they're going to do, and their thoughts on what should or should not happen. AND that there are at least a few doctors out there who will let you know (and actually do) that they're going to consult with MULTIPLE teams/colleagues, as well as WHO those teams are and what they focus on

I love that I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics of this appointment, but I severely dislike that a) there was so much fear and anxiety leading up to the appointment because it's a new doctor, b) what the appointment was about (possibly receiving radiation), and c) that (apparently) I've had so much medical trauma to the point where a doctor can just be a decent human being and actually acknowledge you (somewhat) more fully is SUPER high above the bar for what I expect to experience from a medical professional
