Got a Mama Sawce update. Cancer is back. In her right lung this time. They’re going to run an even more aggressive chemo than last time, Dr. is confident that they’ll be able to wipe it out. Two small tumors at this point, scans and tests being scheduled to see if it’s anywhere else.
Really fucking sucks. Her sister died after her breast cancer went into remission and then spread to her lungs unexpectedly.
Goddam. Sorry man.

Thanks man. The two tumors they’ve found are both very small, 7 and 14mm, so the hope is that we caught this very early on and it hasn’t spread past that. PET scan and more tests being scheduled now. Her oncologist’s first thought was to just run a very aggressive chemo to wipe it out, but based on the test results they’re going to see if they can surgically remove them and spare her going through chemo again since it was so hard on her last time and the one they want to do this time is stronger. Will update as I get news and have the mental capacity to share with people.

Thanks guys. Wednesday was rough. Things feel better/more hopeful now. Just have to wait on the test results, trust her team, and accept that there’s nothing I can do except be there for her emotionally and physically when possible. She and they have pulled through twice thus far.

Yeah, bi annual but Nepal is a mess so I'll probably go three times in 2020.

I love India, just hate being away.
Bummer.
So, is Nepalese food similar to India's, or different?

Remind me to get you some documents to match mine in case I'm asked to go to India. I have zero desire to go there and my employees there only talk about wanting to leave.

I'd guess you guys operate in similar areas as us. The developed spots are pretty much like being in the states with more dust, smells, traffic, and people. The less developed spots... Different story.
Probably. Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad are where I have people.

I lost my best friend last night. She didn't die but she decided I should have no part in her life anymore. I spoke to her every day for the last four and a half years of my life and I've spent thousands of dollars just to be with her for a couple weeks at a time once a year or so. I don't wish to get into details but I'm pretty disgusted in myself and hope she forgets my existence entirely.

Reflecting on lolz over weekend. I was told, by a boomer, that trump will win the 2020 because he now has the black vote. I asked for stats, he claimed talk radio. I said thats just a bunch of right wing propaganda just as bad as the left media mess.

A boomer.. then told be "you need to get woke"....

:lolol: I laughed so hard.

OK BOOMER.

The worst part is I've wasted 4.5 prime years of her life. I had full intentions to marry her but there were things I had to get sorted in my life first, and she was on board as well then in one night I throw it all away. I've met her friends, and her family who were even starting to be ok with her marrying a white guy (she's full 100% Arab) and I'm just completely humiliated for the both of us.

Cliffs:. My best friend who I wanted to marry no longer wants me in any part of her life. Not looking for sympathy or anything just using dfd as an outlet.
