Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned Senate Democrats on Tuesday about issuing subpoenas to two prominent billionaires and a conservative activist because of their friendly ti…
Is your mother aware that she probably needs the chemo to, you know, stay alive?
Not sure what the schedule conflict there can be here.
I am genuinely glad that you have never personally known someone who was actively undergoing chemo, and I hope that trend lasts for you.
In the event it does not, you should know before you say something like this again that almost all traditional chemo is absolute poison (not all are, but most), and it is given on the principle that it kills cancer cells more quickly than healthy cells. Given enough time and in enough volume, it will kill ALL the cells. In most cases, you literally don’t need chemo to stay alive; you need to stay alive long enough to outrun the chemo. So the object is to try to time and dose it so that the majority of dying cells are the cancerous ones.
It’s a delicate balance, or a calculated gamble, if you like. You’re literally making a bet with your life (and future health, if you survive) that you won’t cause as much harm to healthy cells as to cancerous ones, AND that what harm you do cause to healthy cells, you’ll have enough of an immune system left to rebuild or overcome.
So to give someone a double dose is not only a masterpiece in stupidity and ignorance, it is a horrendously careless and life-endangering thing to do by someone who is actually paid to know better. I truly hope @kandoh@reddthat.com’s mom is doing okay and that somebody was able to stop that double-drip before it started. I can’t even imagine.
Yeah, I’m aware. I’m talking about your mom missing her next scheduled dose.
Obviously.
You know, the way you would do if you want a resurgence?

Not my mom.
“Next scheduled dose” is likely no longer an issue after a double dose.
Obviously.
You’ll have to ask her if she wants a resurgence, so many cancer patients do, social media loves to see you ring that bell so might as well do it as many times as you can, but to be clear a double dose probably resolved that too.

EDITED to include post to which I replied, lol

Are you a language bot? Because you clearly don’t understand the conversation.
Clearly I am an outsider to the real conversation you’re having. Happy to stay that way, though.
I invite you to read back through all this when you sober up, lol.
It was 20 years ago so I don’t really remember why. It might have been radiation, not chemo, so there was less need for consistency
