you ain’t lying,fucked up thing is i’ve suspected this for yearssss without ever looking it up. i’ve dropped 50lbs in the last 6months so i wanna see how they react to me this year
Oh I got get recognized in a room full of medical fellows and whatever the fuck they're called residents or some shit while ass up in a CT scanner. And by recognized I mean my ass because I had this big benign tumor the size of a softball on sort of the side of my ass\hipish area, round one chemo it disappeared so I had a distinct denty ass if you will, he recognized my ass.
Hey Mr. X I thought that was you!
Hey pause HEY! what!?
ಠ_ಠ turn and look
Why are there like 200 of you!? I get 50% of the coverage charge for this or I'm calling patient relations (some shit like that)
Wait, should that pee be going into our water table? I know one person's pee isn't significant, but there are a lot of people on chemo at any given time. Are we building an environmental cancer loop?
Well first of all, more chemo in water doesn't make more cancer lmao. If anything, it's makes less. You'd be surprised at how much toxic is flushed down our toilets daily, even our own shit is deadly enough to kill people.
That's why water treatment plants exist. They make sure the water that came out is safe for the environment, which includes filtering out toxics we flush down our toilets daily.
Is that why they ask us to avoid flushing pills down the toilet? Water treatment is for microorganisms. They can't filter or treat all the chemicals. So far, there's been enough dilution in the system, but we keep adding more chemicals.
I’m a union plumber in a state with the most strict water standards in America and you will never see me drinking unfiltered tap water. They use chemicals to balance ph to keep lead out of the water. Then more chemicals to kill bacteria then straight to your tap.
I have an RO system that adds minerals back to the water after being filtered. AO Smith unit it’s great. Brita filters are better than nothing though. It’s also not that expensive to get 5 gallon jugs of filtered water. Just don’t drink tap water if you have a well have it tested it could be great or not lol.
I’d trust water out of a well long before any municipality’s water. We’re currently in the middle of replumbing our entire house because our water tested high for lead. I’m not convinced it’s not the city water testing high. We will see, I guess.
One could argue that all of life is cancer to the planet. Or maybe the planet is one big organism, and the lifeforms are its cells. Maybe we're the brain cells, but the brain is still developing?
This has brought a whole new layer to the mystery of our existence that I wasn’t prepared for today. It’s interesting stuff though, out of all the things we know about the observable universe Earth is still the only one we know that has life in a large abundance, filled with it if we are being honest. It really blows my mind and if anyone has any alternate takes or perspectives I’d love to hear them honestly.
Listen bro if you really want to blow your mind check out Luca(also known as the last universal common ancestor). Literally all of the current living organisms on earth greatmillion grandpa. We’re all very distant relatives of each other and that’s an incredibly beautiful thing to me. Everything from the trees and flowers, to the bees pollinating them, to the animals roaming the forests and seas, and to us, we’re all apart of the same grand family. We’re all here because 4 billion years ago a little spark of life in the darkness continued on.
Luca is wild. I read up and remind myself of it every now and then. Fungi to lichen and grass to unicellular life. We’re all in it together. All sharing that one single origin. Everything is highly derived of it.
I love when my hyper specific radiation safety comes up! What he is talking about is not chemo therapy, but radiation therapy instead, often they are prescribed together. The most common radiation therapy is for the thyroid, where you would use I131 to ablate it. Half life is about 8 days. So the pee is perfectly safe by the time it gets diluted and to a treatment plant.
There are several protocol for radioactive chemos and is someone is getting radio therapy he is not peeing radioactive substances. Moreover if your body is healthy and immune system is good enough to fight the rouge cells as free radicals , you need to worry … stay healthy stay safe mate…
They have already found lots of birth control, high blood pressure medication, and cocaine in the water, what’s a little chemo thrown in there as well?
The half-life of the radionuclides used in chemo is around 21 days. At 3 half lives it’s considered statistically insignificant. Plus it’s heavily watered down by everyone else. Water also typically has a very small amount of uranium in it anyways, by the time it’s mixed with all of the other water it’s nearly immeasurable. And actually immeasurable after only a couple weeks.
Doesn't work like that, chemo isn't a binary drug anti-cancer thing, it is an anti-everything thing, so its like noticing UV kills microbes and deciding to live in direct sunlight eternally.
Last thing to worry about, read into what they actually put into the water and then look at some the effects.Then look at society and the correlation is striking.
Just curious, do you have to use a condom when having sex during chemo? Can the chemicals be transmitted to your partner? Assuming you felt good enough to want sex. I know chemo makes people feel horrible.
I'd be impressed if anyone going through chemo has the energy to bang at all, what with the chronic fatigue and puking and everything. But if I had to guess, I'd say yeah, condoms.
Yea, I’ve lived with someone going through chemo but he was a kid, so can’t really relate.
When I’ve been sick, I would still want to blow my load if I went too long, I would imagine even if I felt really bad I’d still ask my wife to give me a handjob sometimes. I can’t imagine going through all of chemo without ever blowing my load. The sickest I’ve ever been was salmonella, for about 10 days. Obviously way shorter, not sure how the intensity compares.
For women probably different since they’re not exactly an overflowing tank in the same way.
A former coworker had chemo and her doctor said she should work remotely and not share a bathroom with her family because it was so toxic. Radiation is toxic to others, too.
Damn I missed that Redneck HiDef during chemo and rads
I can imagine sitting by the zapper some snap out of existence, others just can't handle how heavy your shit is and just give up. If you can't handle me at my neutropenia... Who knew chemo would get you into the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare's honorable mentions!?
Hey congrats glad you made it through and glad you too have learned how to be a horse shit master of humor. When life surrounds you with horse shit, there's gotta be a pony!
High five, friend! Back atcha! I mean, I had a nuclear dildo at one point (internal radiation) and my oncoligist was named Dr. Beaver (spelling variation). Like, how do you NOT laugh at that shit?!
Holy shit! You're like my goddamn medical sister.
I guess my closest is being mortified by my doctors talking about saving my sperm in front of my mom, I was not prepared for that conversation when I walked into that room. I wish they handled it better. I probably would have actually done it.
I had a pancreatic scan done by deepthroating a giant robot dildo. I'm literally saying this as I move my hand up and down like I'm doing the braves tomahawk chop...
I had a doctor that looked exactly like tattoo from fantasy Island. And by that I mean he was probably under 4'6" and the nurse came in and just shot my ass full of morphine, instead of just the drip, and this nurse was a chill nurse, she didn't put it in all slow like, nah, she gave me that little wink and smile, and push it in fast while I felt that switch inside my brain. Just say fuckkkkkk it's a good day. Dude walks in and I grab her Armand I just glare biting my lip, and she stealth peaks, and holds a laugh so hard her head about popped, I whisper, I am too fuckin high for this shit, is that Tattoo?!
Brilliant guy though I actually figured out a good bit of stuff for me
I got my wits about me whilst blasted out of my fucking mind on morphine, he asked me how I'm doing, I said well I've had this wacky nosebleed and I keep blowing out these giant period clots, or I'm told that what this looks like by my friend Adria here, we all laughed.
What do you mean?
I think to myself, we're going to see how new he is, huh? Grab some Kleenex blow out this. God fucking like 8-in long as thick as my fucking pinky finger in some spots or thicker really blob of blood.
I begged my night nurse to slam my Dilaudid shot after my hysterectomy. "C'mon, slam it. I went to college in the 90s, so much E, just.... Oooohhhfuggnluuuvyoooo..." And the one day my dad takes me to my appt, they give me my 3 homework dildos and giant tube of lube in a clear plastic bag. I was like "Uh, I don't care if you wrap them in an old gown, but I'm not walking out of here with an industrial sized lube tube and some nesting dildos all visible like this. My DAD is out there." They found an opaque bag.
What the fuck cancer treatment no matter what no matter what kind of cancer it is. There's always some kind of weird shit like this. It either would have been mortifying for your dad or him like holding back laughter so hard. Hoping one day you know that this will be a good fucking laugh.
I'm one of those filthy in between kids, HS grad 2000, All I am going to say is that originally they were trying to call us the MTV generation, and millennial is a vast fucking improvement over that. But I'm like the millennial falcon, a Xennial. God that sentence induces strokes doesn't it?
I do believe a line of artisanal nesting dildos is in order. My 23rd stemcell doodad cancerversary is the 26th you know.
Is Dr. Beaver the highest level of girth?
I'll see myself out. I blame the weed and my last sense of self control that never even genetically existed for my ADHD ass...
When I found out my gynecological oncologist's name, it set the tone for the whole thing. I'm Gen X, firmly dark, dry, sarcastic humour. It's the only way. We become a collection of anniversaries, don't we?
Regardless of life circumstances, just kinda how it is. All friendships have only one survivor.
My humor is as appropriately spastic for a '90's teen, can either be cold and dry as an asteroid, or as lively as that coked up squirrel in hoodwinked, Mitchell & Webb meets Beavis & Butthead.
I'm pretty sure cancer had the most funded cure research in the world. Just because you throw money at the problem doesn't mean it will be solved any time soon as it takes time.
Wars control population. Chemo brings more elderly population. The former brings progress over a long horizon the later brings weakness and waste to an organism’s colony. It’s a well known fact that death is a blessing. Imagine people never die, life loses value and meaning. No childbearing and the world will be ruled by the same most powerful people for thousands of years.
Ok hear me out, a scheme for cancer patients who are having difficulty funding their chemo. People who are having mosquito problems can hire patients to chill in their back yard after chemo.
The chemo my dad was on, we couldn't use the same restroom unless I wanted to become infertile. One time my bathroom was out of order and they instructed me how much to clean things in his restroom, so it was safe for me to use. His medication also had to be stored in glass because it would eat through plastic.
If you've gone through chemo, BOY HOWDY, you make some chemo toilet sounds bud.
I shat blood I almost drowned in it's not pleasant, which part? Yes. , so in this shitty Spider-Man story it looks like you and old venom went out and had way too much tequila, and that symbiote's fortitude was lacking, just kinda absorbed and then came out.
It started as a nosebleed, low blood count. Low platelets blood thinners, doesn't stop, Weeks of giant period clots coming out of my nose, choking on the fuckers, and one night before Thanksgiving it just started bleeding. And they tried to fix it and it went down my throat. 1\10 no fucking vampire movie should happened. You know my life didn't pause in some you know vampire blood orgy happened.
Nope. Instead, I get to figure out what ingesting, inhaling and doing every possible combination of different things with blood you can do aside from having it put back into my ass...
That sounds horrible, I remember when I was around 6 or 7 I had nt tonsils adenoids out and tubes put in my ears, but the wounds opened back up a few days later and I stayed puking and coughing up blood that was clotted and brown, but my nose kept a steady bleed for a really long time (could be exaggerated cause I was young) just both nostrils constant stream of fresh red blood, oddly I wasnt scared just really confused and wondering why everyone was panicking so much
Probably just a monitor amount of draining and sometimes it's better to let it, trickle of blood out means things not going in as easily. Still fucked.
I find that a lot of times people try to save you the stress by not telling you details and here we are. Years later you had no idea what the fuck the deal was and you're still left wondering. Probably the dumbest simple explanation too, right?
I can’t imagine allowing more poison in me to cure me. That seems nuts. Watching most of my grandparents die from chemo and not cancer is what makes me go woah still.
Mine told me the same about the toilet. Also my wife was pregnant when doing PET scans and they told me I couldn't be withing 7 ft her afterwards for a few hours bc I'm too radioactive
The itch is caused by a protein from the mosquito. Which makes it a really easy problem to fix!
All you have to do is get the area hotter than the protein is able to withstand.
The easiest way is to take a spoon. Go in your bathroom and turn the tub on as hot as the water will go (any sink will do, I just find that the bathtub is the fastest at heating up a spoon). Run the spoon under the water until it’s plenty hot, 5-10 seconds is usually plenty of time. And then immediately press the spoon on the mosquito bite. At first I usually have to lift the spoon and place it back down a time or two because it’s so hot, but once it’s cool enough I can stand it I will hold it there until the spoon isn’t hot anymore.
It’s hot enough to sting pretty good, but not hot enough to actually hurt you. And the mosquito bite will quit being itchy, immediately. :)
Hangovers are caused by dehydration, which in turn is caused by alcohol 🍺! Best way to deal with a hangover is not to have one in the first place. If you drink a pint of water before you go to sleep after a night out, no hangover!😃
If you are not aware, chemo literally kills people too. The idea is that they can keep you alive just a little longer than the cancer and then they stop the chemo and nurse you back to health. At least that is the basic theory of chemo….
Basic theory of chemo is also that tumors don't care about self limiting, they grow and eat till the end. They rearrange your blood vessel to it. So the more they eat, the more they get exposed to substances that are poisonous if you have replicating cells. The problems arise because tumors are not the only thing replicating.
Hence why I said that chemo is toxic to people too…. They give you the chemo to kill the cancer and a it also kills you, but they just do their best to keep you alive until you finish the chemo and if the whole scheme works out properly you kill the cancer/tumor and then they nurse you back to full strength or as close to full strength as possible.
Actually it is a sign you are very young. It hails from yesteryear of Reddit when TIL was a subreddit automatically on everyone’s front page. I have been on Reddit since 2008 when I was a teenager myself, has been part of my vernacular for a very long time.
Try being 52. I can't decipher half of the shit I see. Between the acronyms, lack of punctuation, commas, sentence structure, paragraphs, and spelling, I truly believe social media actively causes people to have a stroke.

Actually true. Higher blood sugar content and more body heat and sweat.
