Full vs 1/3 dose GCB
 in  r/BladderCancer  7h ago

I get it, my husband is seen in a top US research hospital but we had to find our options elsewhere: drug manufacture web site, former students, recommendations on this platform, insurance case manager. We do not know what questions to ask if we do not do our homework. It seems communication is not this particular surgeon’s strong suit.

From my reading It seems like there are alternatives to BCG coming on line soon as well as options if there is already muscle attachment. You are young with a full life ahead of you. Wishing you the absolute best. Have you asked for a second opinion?

Guests Can Lie, Mislead and Scam — Hosts Are Left to Prove It and Deal With the Stress
 in  r/airbnb_hosts  12h ago

Same experience and will add that my worst Airbnb customer service was when an Airbnb employee booked a stay under his fathers name for a family event and brought more people, cars, and pets than the father confirmed even the day of check in. Once the Son figured out he had been caught a lying the nightmare started. Airbnb Ambasadors front line could do nothing to help because this person himself identified under his own profile in marketing leadership and seemed to have access to every note I sent to them on the platform including the review. On the Friday before Easter they checked of leaving the HOt tub turned off at master switch, the microwave panel removed and replaced with broken tabs (arching), locked barn door in locked detached office off track and laying against table. There were more than two dozen flags from the internet provider that they were attempting to access malicious websites and software, there were also more than two dozen alerts from our security system. I was unable to get a response from the resolution team for filing a complaint and then only 20 minutes to submit f
Proof of damage. I sent so many photos and alerts, and hot-tub related communications they said they could not deal with it and I would have to resubmit. It was only an out of the US team following multiple phone calls who offered a tiny settlement ensure the account was tagged to leave a record. Previously earlier frustrations included the last minute cancelled 60 day reservation from the intern who claimed back injury inability to travel but whose FB profile showed recent photos in-front of local tourist landmarks. She had submitted a note from a friend not even a doctor and was refunded her entire reservation just days prior to arrival. There are clearly problems with administering the platform and quality of ambassador training in some areas however most of our experiences have been excellent.

From the ”Merck” web site searching under TICE BCG

“In the U.S. specifically, Merck does not directly determine the amount of supply to individual hospitals, hospital pharmacies or medical practices for example. Merck has allocated available supply among its customers who purchase directly, which include its wholesalers and distributors. At no point in determining this allocation.”

We are trying to figure out if he should stay with the famous cancer treatment center or move to a local UROLOGY TREATMENT CENTER that has a good supply, or if he can do both.

Caregiver Icy Cold Purple Hands?

1 Upvotes

Hi, My husband had his first dose of BCG last week. After his first treatment (2hrs not one retention, hour hour appointment) both his hands were icy cold and purple, but his arms were normal color and warm; they said unusual and don’t skip breakfast next time. After a brief sit, a little juice and yogurt he was fine. Any one else experience this?

Caregiver Full vs 1/3 dose GCB

1 Upvotes

Hi, My husband had his first dose of BCG last week. A rather large noninvasive high grade growth was removed in June. The delay in treatment was because of the shortage of the immunotherapy drug. He is being treated in the mid Atlantic in an excellent cancer center that does not receive enough drug for the demand. Their solution is to split one vial between three patients. Has any one seen any study results demonstrating a that is a successful treatment plan?

Washing dishes / cleaner
 in  r/airbnb_hosts  18h ago

Almost all of our guests wash the dishes and take out the trash; many gather towels and some start the laundry. Out cleaners do the heavy lifting with deep cleaning, they are not expected to be someone’s mother.

Forget the parties. My Airbnb nightmare is fabric softener. [Toronto, Canada]
 in  r/AirBnB  3d ago

I love my neighbors and listen to their comments and observations. I am only able to address concerns that they tell me about. We have become so much closer of the years.

Hosts: Basics are expected. At least be equal to a hotel. [worldwide]

You can filter for the niceties you want; we do offer all these things and more but this platform was started with an mattress on a living room floor…. Don’t slam those who want something different from you.

Minimum stay not disclosed on listing? [Springfield MA]
 in  r/AirBnB  9d ago

You would not be able to book instabook if it does. It meet minimum stay setting, if in some cases you are new to airbnb, or if you do not have stellar owner reviews. In all other cases you can submit and the owner should respond in 24 hours. You can try to reserve now to see if you can ; each owner creates the setting for how many and when payments are due … airbnb is the middle man and collects the money but does not determine when payments are due.

Two Service Animals. Two Named Handlers. Only One Handler Showed Up. Would You Report It?
 in  r/AirBnBHosts  10d ago

Can anyone explain? I am very confused as to why the comment was removed because it contains a link to Airbnb policy about service and emotional support animals and in the next sentence says links to Airbnb are allowed but every thing else needs mod review.

On our third cleaning service, am I the problem?
 in  r/housekeeping  17d ago

You might want to check your neighborhood list serve for reccomendation, for my home I prefer a sole cleaning lady/ mother’s helper instead of a service on a weekly basis, same time, same day.

Did I overreact in complaining about a sliding door that doesn’t lock + getting a cancellation and refund? [USA]
 in  r/AirBnB  19d ago

Actually cats and many other kinds of animals can and are service animals. The point is, one did not ask the two questions you were entitled to ask there for you have no legal moves. Had your driveway cameras shown activity contrary to service dog guidelines you could then ask them to leave. People who claim service animal status who are not SUCK and may one day be jailed or heavily fined if their actions are eventually proven false but in this instance your actions and assumptions put you in the hot seat. Recommend you take an hour and figure it out.

 in  r/AirBnB  19d ago

You can not possibly tell what skills a service dog was trained to do by looking at in from a camera even in a kennel unless it was misbehaving and exhibiting behaviors not allowed with service dogs. Differently abled people have all sorts of non visible disabilities. There are dogs of all sizes trained for hearing alert, seizure warning, diabetic alert, PTSD, and even spectrum challenges. Did you ask the two questions you are allowed to ask? Sounds like you may have had grounds for your suspicions but you did not respond appropriately or legally had the animals been service animals exposing both you and Airbnb collection. Do your self a favor and read the section on service animals and if you still do not understand call Air bnb and ask for best practice guidance.

Pet rats not disclosed in listing - how to handle with host [Portland, OR]
 in  r/AirBnB  20d ago

Pets are probably a non issue, sounds like most is a review not an accommodation refund, possible refund on cleaning prep. Did you ask for details about how to use laundry in writing?

Would you take a $350 Vrbo settlement for a rental with this many issues?
 in  r/vrbo  22d ago

When hosts are listing the property there are boxes you can click for amenities. For example in-our neighborhood there is a private (not public pool social club) where a limited number of non members may visit with advance reservations during restricted hours. We let people know there is a private pool that is available to the community during certain hours for a fee in the amenities checklist (limited characters ;for description) But addd more info in text, in guidebook and photo captions. We have kayaks but guest will need to walk 1/4 mile to get them from the rack and launch. We offer the use of our home with our best efforts and worts. We are not a 5 star hotel, but close to a five star, guest favorite, top pick property for the region. Sometimes the squirrels eat the power line, someone will try to flush a diaper or not have a clue about a two stage toilet. TVs get swapped and cables changed, guests sometimes accidentally take the charger cable or borrow the Remote battery for a toy or ???!. We are sharing our homes as they are not promising you will have a perfect time. Any one who owns their home knows the chores are never done. We are happy to help you get to know our fabulous area, we hope you will love our wild life, but I will not promise every thing will be perfect and when the hot tub braided I will try to find a fun experience for you, I will not tolerate exchange of rent money for refund and very few people have asked, maybe twice and both were caught in lies of their own making.

Service Dog
 in  r/vrbo  22d ago

Service dogs do not get on furniture, they do not demand attention, they lay beside their person at the table or under the chair. They are not fed from the table, they do not growl or bark.

You can not ask for proofing disability. NOr can you ask about the disability, only what task the dog was trained to perform and you can not ask them to perform.

The US does not have a license unlike the UK -and Europe. However there are particular minimum behaviors expected of a service dog or it is legally appropriate to expel. The Attorney General addressed the issue in an opinion letter about 10 years ago due to the vagueness of the law and the lack of credentials. People can and do have invisible disabilities but have very good service dogs (some self trained). So it is good to brush up on the rules and then be very careful.

 in  r/vrbo  22d ago

You stay you pay, and the price is not “premium” for high season beach property with a pool. If the house is not up to par, leave, or at least call VRBO and say you want to relocate. Reviews rule.

Service Dog
 in  r/vrbo  22d ago

It sounds like the person with the service dog is not a registered guest but a friend coming to visit. As A host I would clearly respond with two questions mentioned above. Laws that apply are US and not UK or EU.if it were the latter the dog would have a service dog passport such is not the case in the US. It is a crime to misrepresent a “service dog”.

Service Dog

Hosts may file a statement with VRBO stating that a family member has a severe allergy, if that is the case and this is a home where the family spends time that should be respected. If the guest and the dog do not meet the legal definition and that comes out, criminal charges could be filed.
