Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
We are in a little bit of a lull here. Not sure what is going on but it was reported that campaign people/staffers were told not to talk to the media at all for the next two months. It seems that if they do they could be fired. So, it was the viewpoint that something perhaps menacing to the campaign could come out and therefore, the warning.
Who knows. It does seem like the FG handlers are not putting him out now, but likely in part because it really sounds like he has little ability left — if there is something to try and hide as well, double trouble because it as is often said — all comes out in the wash. Someone will 'leak' because that is how it always works.
The fact that he is not being put out and especially in the swing states just gives us a bit of a leg up.
All the work has to be done, but it does seem like that side is counting on other things to skewer the results if they can. At the same time, there are it would seem an awful lot of Reps. ready to vote for Harris. They realize the FG has ruined a large part of their party and it is for the most part (save for making troubles) not survivable as a party and if they elect Harris now and can re-direct their party for 2028 or beyond, that is the only way they will actually survive.
Leaves me with a lot of questions about where all the extremists will actually go, and very much the extreme evangelicals.

Re: I was just now dx with skin mets
Claire,
It is understandable that you don’t know what to think given the news you’ve received. I am going to be honest and say I don’t know much about skin mets. I did want to address one thing you mentioned; “ All sites say that end stage happens with mets.”
While that is technically true, as we know there is no cure for stage IV, treatments have come a long way in increasing survival time. Although it’s no substitute for a cure, there are many more of us living for years with stage IV and we continue to hope that newer treatments will bring increased longevity and a true cure . So stage IV is theoretically end stage (there is no stage V) but it doesn’t mean death is imminent. There are many members who have been stage IV for years.
While I know this is an emotional time, don’t put your foot in the grave before you have to. Me? 13 years at stage IV and while I realize I’m an outlier , there are more and more of us . Take the time to experience all the emotions connected with this news and then, once your tx plan is in place, move forward. There are no guarantees, no crystal balls, but things may not be as bleak as they seem. Take care
