Hello. My dad passed from a glio in ‘22. Prognosis was likely worse bc they couldn’t operate on his and he was misdiagnosed for a bit but I understand completely what your family is going through. I took time away from work and became his full time caregiver. This included arguing day and night with insurance companies. Such a horrendous disease.

I don’t mean to sound a certain way at all but now is the time to spend as much QT with your pops as possible.

I know the medical bills and stress are piling up and that’s a whole other separate part of the process. But don’t get too sidetracked and keep the main the main thing.

Have you looked into clinical trials for glio patients?

🙏

Really sorry to hear this about your dad, too, Marco. It sounds like you did the best thing, but sorry he and you and your family had to go through that. I’m glad you got the quality time. It’s hard to lose a father. Mine died 3 years ago this coming September.

Sorry to hear that! They fully removed my dad's tumor but since they had to take him off his blood thinner to do it, 4 days after his surgery he had a stroke.. the day he was supposed to be released from the hospital. He's had a rough road with this monster since being diagnosed. Ive been my dad caregiver as well. He's my best friend literally so its took an even tougher toll on me seeing him go through this battle and being helpless. I don't think ppl really know how bad brain cancer is (not saying other types arent cause they 100% are) but the ones thats seen brain cancer esp Glioblastoma knows what we're talking about.

We haven't yet. He still has a few radiation treatments left before we can supposedly. But we for sure will look into it!

Glioblastomas are so much worse than anyone can imagine, man.

I think it’s awesome that you’re the one there for him. It’s gonna be an even tougher road ahead than it is now and it’ll traumatize the F out of you but you’re gonna find out a lot about yourself and you’ll be happy you were fortunate enough to be the one that cared for him.

Best of luck and if you ever wanna chat about it let me know 🤝.

Ok, morans, I need help. 25th anniversary trip this fall, just the wife and I, kids staying home. Thinking we're going to try something new. Would appreciate any first-hand feedback on either Aruba or Grand Cayman. tyia

I did a day in Aruba on a cruise. It was nice and the desert was unexpected. We did an ATV tour and had a blast. The locals there were pushy, especially around the shopping district.

I think we preferred Curaçao, which is adjacent. Loved the coloring of buildings downtown.

For what it’s worth, volshop is putting a lot of nike gear on sale, could be clearing house because it’s official we’re going to adidas

Or there’s less than a month and a half left until summer is over and school is back in session so they’re clearing seasonal items for the next seasons new items, like every retail store in America.

I know RTIC is as good as Yeti’s (Weezer) but has anyone purchased an ORCA looking at getting 20qt one?

I've had an Orca for years. Last year the seals on the handle started leaking. I reached out to their support page and was sent a label to return it. I received a brand new one in less than two weeks. No receipt or anything. It holds ice as good as any other high end cooler I have used. Of course I got orange both times lol. Good luck.
