    There is but no better thing to do than to reiterate that why was said for those who persist with fingers-in-ear denial without substantive refutation:

    1. I did not.

    2. I guarantee their discharge paperwork and instructions were clear on this.

    3. I explicitly noted noted, “edge cases with health conditions aside.” (Ding Ding Ding)

    Yes, of course follow guidelines by your doctor(s) and for specialized procedures. I thought it was extremely obvious my suggestions were preventative in nature.

    Glad to hear! So sorry to both you and your wife for your medical ailments you’ve had to deal with. I wish you both speedy recoveries and better times ahead.

    Everyone (edge-cases with health conditions aside) should be eating a high fiber, high probiotic diet, and cutting back on tobacco products and alcohol, while avoiding red meat. It took my siblings more than a year of trying to convince our high-risk dad to get his colonoscopy as his doctor wanted.

    Edit: Thought I couldn’t be more clear that high fiber diet is a preventative one for people not with preexisting conditions or already having major medical interventions or other unique health conditions, etc. This is pretty much implied for ANY dietary advice in any dietary article you ever read. If you’re unsure, speak with your doctor of course.

    This is one of those things that could maybe be nothing (as in this looks bad on the surface but is some trivial thing that happens all the time) or something major… But Heather Cox Richardson (for anyone who doesn’t know is probably one of the most prominent scholars to tune into right now and an absolutely phenomenal historian) just said that this is hugely concerning and fairly unprecedented within context.


  • Sorry to hear that, wish you all the best. We went through some oncology shit in my family recently, too. Stay compliant and keep your spirits up and that genuinely goes a long way with outcomes.

    Not sure if you’re like me but I start researching like crazy to “know the enemy” inside and out; a great introduction to the immune system and cancer is “Immune” by Philipp Dettmer – the guy who does the Kurzegesagt series (he himself I believe had either lymphoma or leukemia; I think he left it ambiguous).
