Hi. I just had a post removed by a mod bot.

It’s sad to put my comments in the mega
thread but comments are disabled.

Any thoughts?

My insurance issues have been complicated since I switched from BCBS.

I’m likely saving about $6 this year but I also have had some major headaches with the coordinating of benefits.

So yes the insurance is fine and I’m saving some money but providers think it’s Aetna. It’s not. It uses the same network of providers but it’s not the same policy.

Given what I now know I may not have switched. I thought it would be easier to explain my benefits and have the billing work correctly. At least customer service support is great. They know their stuff!

Hi my daughter is graduating from Dickinson and i’d like to make a dinner reservation for six people the evening before graduation. Any suggestions?

It can be in Mechanicsburg or surrounding area if we need to drive a little that’s fine.

Also, we have hotel reservations at the IHG on the barracks and at the Sleep in just south of town. I haven’t decided yet where we’re staying, but I’m wondering if it would be possible to have carry out at the hotel. If we opted for carry out but I’d rather go to a restaurant.

My husband is on immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma. He has been on therapy now for a few months. It’s his second time—the first time was from 2021 to 2023. Then he was not showing signs of cancer from 2023 to 2025 so he was off of therapy but cancer came back in 2025.

Immunotherapy works with your immune system to fight cancer. It’s very important that you eat a healthy diet because it helps your body fight the cancer.

Of course, there are no studies that definitively prove this because it’s really almost impossible to prove. Although the doctors will tell you it’s important they can’t say for sure a healthy diet will help you.

Husband just had his spleen removed because the cancer was increasing. He was getting CT scans and CTDNA testing.

Anyway he’s six days post surgery and he’s eating Diet Pepsi, chips, brownies, and some potatoes and chicken. Very scant vegetables like a no thank you helping of broccoli for example.

I’m just so upset. My counselor thinks he want to “make himself feel like he has control over his situation”.

I’m super upset and I’ve tried to do everything I can do but I’m thinking about quietly quitting our relationship. I don’t think he cares about his health and if he doesn’t want to take care of himself I just feel like screw it. Why should I care about him?

He won’t seek counseling. He seems to lose himself in video games, sports on tv and work.

Can I be done w this?

I’m sorry I just needed to vent but that’s the way I feel right now. Maybe I will change my mind tomorrow but I doubt it. My counselor says I need to accept it. But maybe I can’t.

We have two adult children who want him to get better. But they don’t understand the importance of taking care of yourself when you have this disease.

Did Jimmy Carter eat chips and drink Diet Pepsi? Hahaha I mean no of course not. That’s one of the ways he lived so long beating the disease. He took care of himself.

Thank you I’m done now
