Today we found out it is back and at 70 she sounds like she doesn't think she can win another round in this fight.
that sucks man, sorry.

Look into the keto diet for supplemental treatment.... apparently lots of cancer cells run on glucose only, so if you cut off the fuel supply....
I heard this in Robb wolf's book.

:sad: I'm sorry man. Cancer is horrible. On the plus side, treatment of cancer is getting better every year. Here's to hoping things get better.

Should also seriously consider the NE, doe. The weather is epic right now and the leaves are starting to change. Excellent time to bag an Arian princess. Flights from SF to Boston are surprisingly cheap.
All options are open... I think we're pulling the plug within 24hrs if the HurriCUNT doesn't change the route. She is flying in from NY on the 9th... which is THE DAY the fker is projected to make landfall... that is if her flight will even be allowed to land.
Boston would be fun to explore with a MOB.
Or NYC but I really don't like New York all that much.

Weather is fucking :tits: up here right now mang. And as stated, leaves will start to turn very soon if they haven't already. Very pretty.

Thank you guys.

I'm very hopeful, she has always been tough and a fighter, but hearing her sounding pessimistic this time really hurts.

Got my car insurance renewal notice. Went from $441 for six months to $989. :facepalm: :rage:

I don't want to talk about the speeding ticket two weeks after the Veloster incident and minor accident back in a parking lot back in June. But the insurance agency clearly felt we should discuss them. This summer was not my finest.

G'Damnit.

Thank you. We have an appointment later today with one specialist. On the positive side, we've convinced my mom to be positive about her outcome and not just give up.

Time to shop around for new insurance? Perhaps bundle all the Zilch policies together?

Never give up. My dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer in 2008. Typical life expectancy with that since it's inoperable at that point is 6 months. Despite all of the chemotherapy he was going through, the medications, the pain (water built up in his legs, eventually needed a cane), and the diabetes, he still went to work every day until his final week...three and a half years later. Just need to continue living life as if nothing is wrong.

Shop around a bit, but this really should be expected with totaling a car and some other minor stuff in the same timeframe :sad:

That's more than my STI insurance is. :sad:

Well, damn. Just don't pull a Fix It Again? Totalled, on the new ride.

I just got the next 6 months for ours from Progressive and it went down by ~$50. I guess the Arkansas LEO wasn't BSing when he said that the speeding ticket Andrea got won't show up in Texas. I was expecting it to go up.

Insurance for actual coverage of the Fiat went down $7.00. It was everything else that didn't help. Hoping bundling it to Trav's policy will bring some relief. Willing to throw all of the FWE business insurance at them, as well, if they can help.

So, in some respect, you're hoping your insurance costs get closer to Zilch. :zing:

That's really quite a story. Sounds like he was a tough guy.

Zilch got me under his policy for $600/6 months. :fuckyeah: had me covered within a few hours. I'll take it! (Thanks, honeys. Married life ftw.)
