> [@kitap](#): > > Well, she refused conventional treatment and went the homeopathic route. She refused to do what her doctor recommended because she was homeschooling and way too busy to do chemo. I’m finding it hard to have a lot of sympathy for her. I have zero sympathy because I’m currently getting chemo for breast cancer. AND I had a lumpectomy in December AND I’ll be getting radiation in a few months. Why? Because 1) metastatic cancer is not an easy way to die, 2) although I have upped my water intake due to chemo dehydrating properties I have no illusions abou it “homeopathically” curing me, and 3) I’m not a fucking idiot who thinks good thoughts are better than ACTUAL FUCKING RESEARCH AND PROVEN RESULTS. Also she wasn’t on my list so I missed out on a lot of points. ---

My sympathies on your current medical struggles. My mom was a breast cancer survivor for 15 years. She was the toughest woman I’ve ever met. She had a lumpectomy on a Thursday, checked herself out of the hospital against medical advice the next morning, and had me take her to another hospital so that she could be there when her granddaughter was born C-section. She then went home, took the weekend off, and went back to her nursing job on Monday. She didn’t take chemotherapy. She’d drive herself over to the hospital on her lunch break, get her radiation treatment, then go back to work. Sorry for the hijack, but your post made me think about that. You got this. ---

I’m Stage 4 endometrial cancer. 12 rounds of chemo, 10 radiation treatments, a total hysterectomy - everything even vaguely reproductive got yanked - and just passed 2 years post-chemo with excellent numbers.

Alright, check your lists to see if you have Ananda Lewis, spelled correctly or not. I think in December I’m going to remind folks to double check spellings. I am so glad Moamar Qaddafi is dead. When his name was Romaized I’d get about a dozen ways to spell it. 🤣 ---

Maybe not that much of a celebrity, but enough to warrant mention on _Hollywood Reporter_, actor [Beans Morrocco](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0057885/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1), who did a lot of stuff, mostly as that one guy over there, came a little over a week shy of 9 points. ---
