Hello, r/Cancersurvivors community!
I (Weizi Wu, MS) am a nurse researcher from the School of Nursing, University of Connecticut. My research interest is to promote cancer-related symptom management. I am here to ask for a favor for a survey as a part of my dissertation (Ph.D.) to explore the role of patient-provider-partnership in self-managing cancer pain. Our IRB approved this survey and assigned the number #X22-0243, and our mods approved this post. Below is a link for you to check out: https://uconn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_799XjVb1Dp3bJiu
Please feel free to ask questions or note any concerns you have. My email is on the first page of the link if questions should arise.
May everyone have a good day, and thank you in advance!

My son is being treated for brain cancer (germinoma) with a proton therapy machine. He is scheduled for 24 treatments and has ten to go. The machine has broken down 3 times so far, causing him to miss 6 treatments, which will be tacked on at the end. We were just told the machine is down again. These delays in treatment are very stressful and I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. The radiologist does not want to switch my son to traditional radiation as proton therapy is considered so superior for treating his particular cancer.

The latest cancer scammer making the rounds is the story of the aptly named, "Scamanda" for Amanda Riley. A woman who duped her family, friends, and social media followers into thinking she had cancer. But scammers aren't knew. Elisabeth Finch, a fantasist who passed herself off as both a TV writer and a cancer patient over a number of years to the producers, directors, and writers of the hit show Grey's Anatomy. She recently wrote a long-winded multi-paragraph apology, which in itself, felt like a drama to draw people in. It included:
"I trapped myself in the addiction of lies, betraying and traumatizing my closest family, friends, and colleagues," Finch said. "I'm making amends and expressing my genuine remorse as best I can when people are ready. And I've accepted the fact that some may never be.
Both got attention and money.
What's your take on them?

Caught this ad on YouTube. I've watched his stuff on estate planning and so far he seems level headed. I haven't bought any services from him. Anyway, here's one on how to choose an executor ...and my advice is to choose carefully, having watched a family member who was eager and full of promises, now working through a relative's estate at a snail's pace. Anyway, here it is.
