The film is excellent, though I must admit the book left a deeper impression on me (as is often the case). The story is, of course, true and based on their own journals. In my view, what the film failed to capture was the concept of a unified South America that Che held before his journey, which began to fracture harshly during their travels. That disillusionment, the apathy of the people, and their resignation to circumstance profoundly shaped his life's path. That final scene, where he gives his birthday speech, partially reflects that realization. Mostly 👍 and all the luck that would have come if Americans hadn't interfered.
It seems logical that a fast would help cleanse the body of all harmful substances. I had heard about that specific detox involving just rhizomes and water for a few days, but I wasn't aware one could go without eating anything for such an extended period... I am even considering trying this myself, perhaps for just two or three days.
I received some news today... my aunt is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Following her procedure last week, they diagnosed her with adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus. In other words, uterine cancer. Dammit...😢 😢 😢
I would Podrzati your decision to pursue psychotherapy. I began my own journey a few months ago... at times it feels as if nothing has changed, and other times it seems things have only grown more difficult. We find ourselves reopening old boxes from the past that were long ago closed and locked away, only to have those old ghosts emerge once again. Still, I try not to let this discourage me. I view it as part of my process... a path toward a point where those boxes are no longer necessary and I am no longer afraid of the shadows.
Thank you, Casey Palmer5. We should have more clarity on the entire situation in a few days. To be honest, everyone is worried because those tumors are growing so rapidly. I am just not sure what that implies... 😕
My aunt was recently diagnosed with a uterine tumor. She is 47 years old (it happens to be her birthday today), and this is the current situation, though I am still trying to gather all the facts...
The tumor consists of two parts, each about the size of a grape. Her doctors mentioned it might have been triggered by hormone therapy—is that even possible?... It seems to be spreading quite rapidly, though they haven't confirmed if it's benign yet. She is scheduled for biopsies in a few days, followed immediately by surgery. She had a checkup back in October and everything appeared normal then. However, she has been experiencing light bleeding for several months now. No definitive cause was found, and she was simply prescribed medication. My mother says they were more hormone pills, which is confusing to me... 😕
Please, if you have any similar experiences, let me know. What could this potentially be, and what does this diagnosis mean for her future?...
My thanks to the moderators for moving this post. I see there have been previous discussions regarding this film... To me, it was fantastic (I admit it has some kitschy elements, but I find them acceptable)... The cinematography and the score are 👍
Has anyone seen this movie? I watched it yesterday and found it truly magnificent. It draws inspiration from actual historical events in France during the 18th century, centering on the legend of 'The Beast of Gevaudan.' I highly recommend it. 👍
Aesop said:🙂 I have zero willpower...🙂 With everyone talking about how they quit smoking, my coworker actually did it. He hasn't touched a cigarette in 10 days, while I just keep making excuses. It's pathetic... I feel so weak...
I am truly proud of myself. I haven't smoked since yesterday. It wasn't even that difficult initially, mostly because I stayed busy doing things outside my usual routine—I spent the entire day outdoors in nature and didn't once think about a cigarette. It wasn't until I got home last night that the craving finally hit... but I managed by devouring every bit of chocolate I had in the house. 😳
Patrick Williams said:Do you want to quit smoking? I do, but I can't seem to manage it. If anyone else shares this desire, perhaps we could use this thread to support one another and share our experiences. Right now, I smoke about a pack and a half of ultra-lights. I have been smoking for 15 years and I am fully aware of the health risks, but the habit is simply too strong. I once managed to go two weeks without smoking, but the cravings were unbearable, and I relapsed. Still, if I succeeded once, I know I can do it again... it just requires strengthening my willpower and motivation. What has your experience been like?
I am in the same position; I have smoked for 15 years, currently about a pack and a half, and I once quit for two weeks using Hypnotizer. I believe the most critical factor in deciding to quit is truly wanting it. Methods such as hypnosis, nicotine gum, or patches can certainly assist, but they will fail without genuine intent. At that time, I was not strong enough. I remember it wasn't all those cigarettes I smoked daily that I missed, but rather just that one single cigarette. That craving for just one was what broke me, until I finally gave in. And after that one, came a second, then a third... I still have some supplies left, and I have decided to quit once they are gone. Perhaps it will be easier here on the forum, where we can exchange experiences and offer support. I am in. 🙂 👍
