do we know when exactly the new booster comes out? and if it will be gatekept? my wife is going to Japan at the end of September and I’ll be having my kidney cancer removed around the same time. would like us both to be boosted for that but I fear it won’t be out in time

that post was clearly facetious and you can tell because it’s never lupus

lighten up, laugh a bit. getting an influx of new posters is a good thing for this thread even if they are poking fun. they’ll see the data, learn how to get paxlovid, maybe wear a (better) mask.

Imagine going to your PCP for advice on which budget air purifiers are the most effective.

they would commit you to the psych ward

I’ve only had experience with one really bad Dr, My wife’s old Dr who spent 10 minutes berating her for wearing a mask in early 2021 and making her cry

My PCP, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, and urologist are all cool and good

Oh my god, what the gently caress I am so sorry. How are you dealing mentally?

it’s been back and forth between just ignoring it and freaking out. Another goon in the goon doctor thread really helped, he had the same thing (renal cell carcinoma) and it’s like the easiest cancer to treat so I’m not gonna die or anything it’s just very tedious waiting to do anything about it. I am quite concerned about getting Covid during the surgery tho. it’s gonna be close to see if I can get the updated booster before.

Had the same thing about a year and a half ago, took about 3 weeks to get into surgery but we're not in a major metro area. Big enough to have decent hospital services but not so big they're completely overwhelmed thankfully.

Good luck, hope it goes well for you, it did for me (so far).

In my case they took out the whole right kidney along with the softball sized tumor.

thanks! mines golf ball sized so hoping they can salvage the kidney. also on the right side. will find out on the 29th when I can get an mri

I haven’t had Covid (afaik) but aren’t there studies showing some correlation with cancer?

my cancer usually affects older men who are overweight and have high blood pressure so lol I owned myself. but then again I was in the best shape of my life 10 years ago before I had to have a cervical fusion and I stopped exercising cause everything hurts

Since I’m back again, I’m gonna share a nice little moment from last week. My apartment gave notice about required upgrades on my ac unit that would take all day. I was worried about having people in my apartment and getting a contractor to wear a mask. I taped a sign asking them to and some auras and kf94s.

Dude came, put on one of the auras properly before knocking and it ended up being no issue at all.

before 2020 asking people to do such a small favor and them actually doing it would never be on my list of “wow”

its an important thing, to trust medical professionals

we don’t really have a choice, do we? “get a second opinion” is something people who have never had to get a second opinion say.

insurance won’t cover it, you’ll end up waiting at least 3 months for a non referred appointment. so you just hope the dr you got referred to knows what they are doing, isn’t having a bad day, etc.

on the “us vs them” thing. we have gotten some new consistent posters out of this who I feel bring some much needed perspective to the thread

it did get insular and awfully crazy. there’s been some well deserved bans and permas in this thread. it’s not bad to have people disagree with the thread echo chamber, just don’t immediately jump up and scream conspiracy theories about them

you have to realize that people who care about Covid and not catching it are such a tiny percent of people that we are seen as crazy by pretty much 99% of the population. we are in fact not typical people, and atypical people get made fun of. roll with the punches, post your data and keep safe. but do it knowing that it will aggravate normal people.
