Belated Weekend Recap

Hola peeps and happy Tuesday.  Anyone else get engulfed by the wildfire smoke over the weekend?  Three days straight for us with lots of air quality alerts.  I hope my Canadian friends are doing okay. It was a bit of a lazy weekend to start until it wasn't.  (Thanks to me, I'm sure the Mr is mumbling under his breath.). I have been throwing myself into projects this month to keep myself from spiraling over Mom's birthday this week.  Not to mention constantly fighting every aspect of gardening and I swear I typed that sentence before that last time I tried in 2020.  I have fungus gnats in the elevated planters because of all of the damn rain we've been getting and the soil can't dry out for them to die off.  So I got some mosquito dunks that can be cut into 1/8's and put into a gallon of water overnight and then water the area to kill the larvae then dry the soil to kill the adults.  This is apparently common with organic gardening but frustrating...

Hump Day Poll: What Do We Need to Ask




Okay, so we're bracing up for the beginning of yet another cancer journey.  We're talking late stage.

Anyone who has been through it or gone on the journey with others, what do we need to make sure we ask?  

The big ones I can think of are 1) what is the goal of the treatment they are selecting  2) will she be tested for immunotherapy  3) are clinical trials an option and at what point do we decide that needs to be pursued?

If you can think of anything else that specifically needs to be asked of late stage on the first appointment, please let me know.  Also any tips/tricks for dealing with a "healthcare" system that has zero interest in getting patients/families information in a timely manner.

    I'm so sorry.
    What can we expect with this treatment?
    If this was your Mom/wife/family member how would you proceed?

    As far as test results, get her login details for her health portal.
    If you need to communicate status frequently to many people look at caring bridge website instead of being on the phone always repeating yourself.

    Thanks to anyone who can share. It is unfortunate that any of us should ever know these things but not there yet.
