@seachanger@alaskan.social My insurer is also my provider, an arrangement I cannot believe is legal. It's definitely unethical. Not unusual I gather.

@seachanger@alaskan.social It's a very weird feeling when your oncologist says to you "We are just waiting for insurance approval" for a treatment. So the insurer dictates standards of care. That is incredibly dangerous imho.

@seachanger@alaskan.social The lab themselves let me off the hook, which was nothing more than kindness on their part.

@rixx I actually gave it up in the end because the stress was overriding any enjoyment I had. I warned the owner and he didn't listen, and the place shut down.

@rixx We lost a wonderful community because they allowed some motivated bullies to set the tone of the place.

@checkervest Is he eating or expelling, I can't tell and don't know why it is important to me, but it is important I know.

@checkervest Or Baha men even, I forget my shit 90s pop acts

@Magooish@mas.to @seachanger@alaskan.social I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. It's a miserable disease. I got very luck with imaging as I was on on a trial and the scans were part of the methodology, so I got very good surveillance without too much stress. The whole thing soured me so much, but I also realize I am very lucky.
