Fuck me im thick please make me feel better.

I decided to share a bottle of wine with my lovely husband this evening, he poured, I went to go and get another glass. I don’t know what to say! We both knew we go through wine fast in the house but we can make a bottle of wine last 2 days if we take it home from a restaurant.

Why did it never occur to me to check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He’s used 2 375ml bottles of wine for 2 glasses. BECAUSE THATS HOW MUCH OUR WINE GLASSES HOLD!! Im horrified!! I’m already dying of stage 4 cancer so it won’t do much harm to me but to him!!

This one glass of wine is an entire 375ml of wine and it’s been a really really bad day so I’ve already finished the glass. Fuck me!

WIBU to not check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He always pours the wine (he’s the aficionado) and he always pours it to that level. we’ve probably annihilated bottles of wine in 2 glasses!

Well if my work colleagues were about to see my bumhole I'd be drowning my sorrows too.......glad the wine went down a bit too well OP. And I wish you well for your op. Even if you do have to flash your bumhole.

I don't even think I'd bother with the glass, I'd just neck it out of the bottle or fetch a straw if I'd had your news (particularly if the surgeons I know were rummaging in my innards... they're all utterly nuts!).

Btw... thats so not a wine glass. Thats the issue, not the wine or the bottle. It's for something heavier that you warm in your hand and swirl around a 3/4 empty glass.

So were people……but then again we didn’t see wine as ‘invisible’ calories back then.

Yes. All the people thinking they are being ‘clever’ by accusing the OP of lying. Surely in a cancer thread, you give the OP the benefit of the doubt anyway. Some people just get kicks from being mean.

The OP didn’t call you an idiot first. Yet you made snide comments about her.

Glad to see your comments have been deleted. Rightly so.

Have a think what made you post like that yesterday, and deal with whatever is going on for you.

They usually do a whipple for pancreatic cancer, but more often than not, it’s already spread too much by that stage so surgery isn’t possible. They can remove it, and have started to do a surgery called TP/AIT in the UK in recent years where they can remove and transplant islet cells which create insulin into the liver. You can take creon for digestion of food (pancreas second function). If they don’t transplant the islet cells then you’d become a brittle diabetic which is difficult to manage, but in this case, worth the swap. I had a whipple 8yrs ago, thanks to a gallstone damaging my pancreas, so I know a lot of people with pancreas issues via health groups, including a few who have had a full pancreas removal. It’s fairly rare though, hence why people aren’t aware ot can be removed. Most pancreatic cancer cases are inoperable, the lucky one’s get a whipple.

Good luck in your ongoing battle!! We sadly lost one of my lovely colleagues recently but she was full of praise for all at Christies and how well cared for she was ❤️

Just be quiet. You really are being ridiculous and it’s never a good look but just to shut you up anyway -

The Op is a long standing member of the cancer forum and is personally known to other posters on the cancer forums in their off forum friendship groups.

Bugger off with your nonsense.

Those doubting @sellotapechicken . She has certainly played the long game by being on those cancer threads so long😁
a toast to you @sellotapechicken 🍾🍷
ps you are thoughtless and cruel idiots

Another surgeon here - I get how big an op this is. Sending huge love and strength. So sorry you are having to go through this.
Enjoy your wine !

And you are clearly an awesome surgeon if you are doing this work Xx
Your colleagues will do their absolute best for you I know.

Unless it's changed, the surgery @sellotapechicken is referring to is only available at 2 hospitals in the country, so she really doesn't have much choice where she's treated. If I was in that situation, I'd choose the team I knew! I've looked after patients after the surgery and it's radical in the true sense of the word.

@sellotapechicken drink and enjoy the wine. Be the model patient with your chest physio after, but I hope you don't feel the need to be a model patient in other ways. Thank you for all the work you've done saving lives.

You sound amazing Op. Hope the wine went down well. Sorry to hear of your diagnosis and very best of luck with your surgery. It sounds like you are in the best hands. Willing you to be well and back in that theatre performing surgery in the future.

Really wishing you well.
A large glass of something delicious is the very least you deserve.

Take no notice, these unkind ignorant folk, enjoy those nails if you can, sending love fro us, , cat and I 🐱

Words fail me that ignorant person, not ringing true 🤬

I don’t believe you have a decent or even half decent apology in you - why else would you start your pathetic post with ‘if’?

You’ve made it very obvious just what you are and you should be ashamed of yourself though I doubt you will be.

In my aunt's nursing home they have a bar, all residents are allowed to have pretty much what they want! Unless it's contraindicated with meds, but yeah, my aunt drinks Baileys like it's Christmas every day!

Just similar to what everyone else is saying (apart from the unpleasant ones).
Enjoy your wine, I think you're being quite abstemious under the circumstances.
Good luck with the op. 🍷

I truly wish you the best of luck with your surgery. Great to know you are in very good hands too. I know of two people (one friend, and one neighbour-Female-) that have stage 4 cancer. They were both diagnosed at stage 4. Does it seem to you that this is getting more common? Thank you

What kind of wine 'afficionado' pours 375 ml glasses? That's either someone who doesn't know and understand how to drink wine at all or it's a raging alcoholic.

Wine glasses are big because it's thought that the increased surface area in the widest part of the glass (which is about a third of the way up, so there is the clue) will improve the drinking experience. Not because they are supposed to be filled up like it's orange squash. 🙄A really posh restaurant serving an expensive wine will use a large glass but only fill it up by a couple of inches.

Wine glass, pint glass, mug, out the bottle....all the same to many. 😘Cheers!

@DearGoldBee what’s not adding up?
