3 of 3 sentinel nodes had mets, and my team all recommended radiation over axillary dissection.

Radiation also offered treatment of my surgical bed, which wouldn't have had any help from a second surgery, and they were able to treat the lymph nodes under my clavicle with radiation as well.

I also thought of surgery as a more permanent thing. If they had taken out 33 more nodes and they were all clear, then those are still 33 lymph nodes that I don't have in my body ever again.

not often :p

get your ass in gear!

you could say it's a deceptive practice

The oncology team considers whether or not chemo (or any other form of treatment) is likely to have more benefit than harm. If they think chemo would do more harm than good, they would not recommend it.

For breast cancer (I was stage 2b, ER/PR+ HER2-) there were a few choices of chemo if one or another had been too much or something. They checked my bloodwork before every round of chemo, I had a heart ultrasound before starting doxorubicin, and attentive chemo nurses who helped me navigate treatment week to week. For example, they told me if the cyclophosphamide came with sinus pressure they could turn down the drip rate and that would probably solve it, and sure enough! it did.

Chemo had plenty of challenges but there was no way on earth I would have skipped it. Fuck cancer, I want to see my daughter grow up.

I'm the oldest of 3 and my husband is the oldest of 7.

Does your university have a music library? maybe they have the scores available?

Do you mean like

Far Cows Get Drowsy After Eating Breakfast

Breakfast Eating After Drowsy Gets Cows Fat

for the order of sharps ("fat cows...") and flats ("breakfast eating...")? I bet there are loads of cool ones around. Those are the ones I learned in orchestra at least!

Have your singers breathe somewhere else (not all at the same somewhere else).

I learned this one with its rhyme in choir. I heard it more utilitarian in orchestra.

If you know moveable-do solfege:

When flats there are, the last is fa

When sharps there be, the last is ti

Musescore is free, you could type it in and then have it play back the audio

Learning by ear you get a feel for it, but learning grammar is like learning other rules and can be really hard for some people.

I remember that we diagrammed sentences in school but I didn't really retain any of it. Once I took Spanish and was taught the language by a teacher, then I had a real context for things like direct objects and gerunds and stuff.

Being bilingual is cool as heck.

You might understand the grammar better than a native speaker, at least if you learned in school.

Night on Bald Mountain (the music itself sounds spooky)

Ravel "Jeux d'eau" since it has lots of fancy tuplets

Toccata and fugue in d minor (Daddy Bach, if it's organ music it'll have the third staff for the foot pedals and that might be scary, IDK haha)

Baba yaga (from Pictures at an Exhibition, by Mussorgsky)

Paganini violin caprices

Kreisler's cadenza for the Beethoven violin concerto

Stravinsky Rite of Spring since the debut was violent haha

All of these have results on Musescore!

edited to add that if neumes are scary and you wanted something spooky-sounding you could print off Dies irae since that theme is a ginormous cultural touchstone as well.

Well it depends on the function the chord has, because the whole point of saying (for example) that you have a first-inversion C major triad or a second-inversion G7 chord is to communicate not only the pitches but their harmonic function.

CEGF doesn't stack in thirds no matter how you arrange the notes, so the "answer" isn't as clear, but based on the pitches themselves I would have two main guesses:

C major add 6

F major 7 add 9

E minor flat 6 flat 9 would be possible as well, just a little spicier.

You can write out which notes you are using on staff paper of course, but a chord symbol isn't going to give the position of the notes other than the bass.

I haven't heard this way of thinking of them before and am intrigued. I can look it up if you or someone else doesn't want to talk about it but I wanted to ask for more details on this bc it sounds interesting

yes! FUCK YOU ALL! I love the energy.

I'm part way though book 8 and I identify with Princess Donut. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE is the cancer treatment mantra.

It means you're not monolingual. That's really cool by itself.

The rightmost one is ribbing which you can achieve in crochet with post stitches.

For example, you can put front post for the part you want to stick up on the right side, and back post everywhere else.

FP and BP are techniques, or modifiers to existing stitches rather than actual stitches themselves so you can pick whatever your preferred stitch is and then just make it front or back post.

It might be easier to do one round of something like sc for the border and then start ribbing, but then there would be a tiny stripe of not-ribbing between the squares and the rest of the border. But that might not be an issue!

If you didn't want that look, you could get around it by doing a round of sc (just since it's thin and it's also not hell to stitch into unlike slip stitch) in a color that isn't your border color, and then do your entire border with front and back post stitches.

Ant fight is what we called it

I'm not sure if there's really any true "supposed to" that really pans out in English, lol, but at least in conversation I think the plural is more common in my experience.

Singular wouldn't (to me) sound really weird or anything, though based on vibes I feel like the wind here is generally pretty chaotic-feeling so that might be why plural feels more common? like maybe one minute it's blowing in your face and then next it's blowing your hair into your face from behind. Not just a steady direction of blowing.

As someone living on the Pacific Northwest coast of the US, we get a lot of wind of varying strengths. I would say "high wind warning" is what you might see from an agency, or on the news, but "strong" is the word I would use in conversation to describe a big wind.

Not to say I wouldn't say "high winds" in conversation but I think "strong winds" is more likely something I'd say.

Same and same, though I'm sure I don't always do it
