Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
Just imagine the excitement if we Democrats have an open convention. This country hasn't had one of those in over a generation. The buzz over who will be nominated would keep millions of viewers tuned in to every single moment of the convention. They would then hear firsthand (with no filters or "interpretation" by corporate media) the vision Democrats have for this nation.
We could easily set up an online system where Democratic voters tell their delegates who to nominate. The roll call of the states would be exciting as hell! We, the voters, would know our nominee before the end of the convention, but the nominees would likely have a pretty good inkling as to the outcome beforehand.
I was in television advertising for many years. You need to create excitement around your "product". Imagine a commercial with the tagline "Trump/Vance are what America's past looked like. Harris/Buttegieg (or Newsom /Whitmer, or Buttegieg/Pritikan) are what America's future looks like".
That kind of a campaign would bring all those Obama voters back to our party. Plus all those young people who really do want to vote for Democratic ideas, but call Biden "Genocide Joe". Plus, there's the added benefit of a much shorter window for Republicans to attack our nominees. Win/win/win/win!
Re: My Chemotherapy Journey
Since you are interested in cannabis , here is a link to a thread about its use. It’s not a very active thread but contains a lot of good info and personal experiences with cannabis use and treating bc side effects. I don’t know why the link takes you to p.5, but you can scroll back to p.1

I'm on my beach vacations so have watched as little news as possible. Harris would have to get it, if she wants it. All the Biden/Harris pac money is hers to command. Plus the powerful black women base would rightfully be very mad if she were passed over. Back to 'beach stuff' for me!

Re: List of what to do/get/pack to prep for Radiation Therapy
I'm halfway through. I go first thing in the am. I use R1 immediately after RAD and then R2 60mg every 3-4 hours. No one told me to apply to my back and I'm badly burnt. So now applyingR2 to back as well as a mix of a queues cream with Betnovate( cortisone). I use Taurine in my water 4 x a day. Radiation depletes the body of Taurine, and this is what results I in fatigue. I work full time and dont suffer from fatigue at al

I live in PA and very familiar with Newsom but I think Illinois Gov. Pritzker might be a better choice.
Re: Psychological reactions to aromatase inhibitors.
This has really helped. I also got little help with my SE.. I will now go and really push for a change to a name brand. I even mentioned that I had to take a name brand Thyroid med. years ago for this same reason. You have told me that there is hope. Thank You.

Who could step in? Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Pete Buttegieg, Mark Kelly, and of course , Kamala Harris.
Young people are very angry with Biden over the situation in Israel/Palestine. They would be far more likely to vote for a liberal woman of color (especially if she broke somewhat with her boss's stand and forcefully condemned Netanyahu) or a liberal gay man, or an astronaut, or the very liberal, youngish, photogenic, governor of the state with the 5th largest economy in the world. Any of them have at least as good of a chance against Trump as Biden does.
Don't get me wrong. I love Biden. But the press has decided to turn on him. Most likely at the behest of their corporate owners. They smell blood in the water, and are like sharks in a feeding frenzy. I don't think they'll let up until he's mortally wounded. Sad but true.
Re: Any stage IV surviving 5+ years ?
I’m at 11 in August, and I’m still here, even though they totally screwed up, missed my diagnosis for six years, and I had no medication during that time. I’m almost grateful for that, though, because if I had been diagnosed correctly in 2013, Ibrance wasn’t approved yet. If I hadn’t been on Letrozole for two years starting in 2019, I wouldn’t have had Orserdu the last nine months because it wasn’t approved until January of 2023.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Well, today finds us with cooler weather which is really nice, cool enough that I should be able to go for a walk, perhaps this afternoon to avoid fire alarms etc though I do want to get through laundry, only need to throw stuff in dryer, run a quick vacuum, cat box and break down more boxes for Sunday night recycling.
Not sure what I wish to eat, I know it will involve a hashbrown, done in the frypan in the breville and after that is made, will go from there. Other option is take another frozen meal, put an egg and have it with the precooked hashbrown, still have lentils and beans as well, maybe some beefless ground too. With the white milk I have, will make the pasta dry packs I have to keep in the fridge for other meals, I will see about that. I also have plenty of meat pies and fish left over as well.
Not sure if shopping today, if so, no groceries but would go for an extra walk. Also planning to resume regular bus rides as well, no way I should not be able to step down from the bus and it is free, mall walking is good for me.
Hoping everyone has a good day, in pockets for everyone who needs me as well.
