Wow. That's so sad.
I remember her from the first season of Supernatural. She was great as Meg. She was also in Jeepers Creepers 2 and did a great job.

I loved her as Meg in Supernatural. Rest in peace.

Bro what. Supernatural is one of my favorite shows. She was awesome as Meg.

Makes me want to go get a full battery of tests. Regularly. Not even an age thing. My friend had it at age 1.

I randomly found I had stage 3 testicular last year at 38. I’m cancer free right now, but I had random back pain and went in just to get my back looked at and found cancer. Thank god.
Be proactive.

Randomly found that I had Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year due to a MRI on my back due to pain. The scan Found incidental swollen lymph nodes. No other symptoms. Chemo is awful and glad I am past that. Life is crazy
Edit: Added more context and grammar

Same. I had zero symptoms. My CT showed swollen lymph nodes and that’s what caught mine too.
Happy we’re both past it!

Katie Cassidy was by far the best female demon 'companion' in Ruby (compared to the atrocious choice that was Genevieve Padalecki), but yes Nicki was better than Rachel.

My friend was perfectly healthy. Completely normal. Would never suspect he had cancer. Got real sick for a few days and went to the doctor. Was diagnosed with leukemia and died 3 weeks later.
Crazy how quickly things can change.

She was bad but made worse because the previous version was fantastic. If she came first, we'd probably be nicer.

That show Dark Blue was great. So sad they ruined the last season and canned it.

Mine too! I am watching the series again right now and just got to the Leviathans…sigh.

Two years ago today my mom fell outside and hurt her side. We were worried she broke her ribs again so she went to the ER the next day and ended up getting diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
She’s still getting treatment, but if she wouldn’t have fallen she’d probably be dead now.

That's the one I remember her from the most she kicked butt in that part I thought.
Thank you for the entertainment and RIP

No, you have anger issues because you think a thread that's discussing the death of an actual human being is the appropriate forum to criticize artistic choices in their profession.
Read the room you fucking rube.
benny_greaseman t1_ix4exle wrote
Honestly, if you can and you’re worried then you definitely should. I caught covid in March got over it relatively fast bust kept having weird pressure behind my left eye that turned into seeing stars with extreme tunnel/double vision, went to the eye doctor they took some images and immediately sent me to the emergency room. One MRI later and turns out I had a sizable glioblastoma in my front left lobe. Had to have brain surgery not even two weeks later.
Barkasia t1_ix4fvxx wrote
Agree to disagree, her portrayal sucked
Barkasia t1_ix4g02t wrote
I didn't think it was the appropriate forum, I made a passing comment in the context of her most well known role and I was jumped on for it.
I still don't get how that gives me anger issues, mind

I was so disappointed in how Dark Blue turned out. Started off so good and really just squandered the potential to be a great show.

Cancer has always been common. Afaik the only reason why cancer is more common nowadays is because people generally live long enough to get it.

Just watched her in jeepers creepers and was raving about how I wish she stayed on as Meg In Supernatural as I liked her much better. That’s so sad. Fuck cancer

As a shlubby guy that drinks a bit too often and smokes socially, eats a lot of red meat and similar types of food, I actually fear my yearly check-up. Some day I’m gonna get the bad news.
My grandpa on my dad’s side had heart disease, my grandpa on my mom’s side had cancer, and my dad’s side of the family overall has a prolific history strokes and early onset dementia/Alzheimer’s.

They likely wont. It’s expensive. Studies show unnecessary screenings cause more harm. Insurance wont pay for it. Etc etc
DoodleDew t1_ix53kn1 wrote
You have to ask and beg for it because If they did it regularly to patients then the insurance companies will go back to the doctor and say “why are you doing all these unnecessary test? We’ll drop you if you continue”
The system isn’t built on preventative care

Every year Directlabs sends me an email when their Men's health screening is on sale for $99 bucks and I always do it. It's good for peace of mind but also could be useful baselines as I age.

I just almost died 2 weeks ago at 39 because I was in denial and tried to wait to go to the hospital and waited until I could barely breathe.
Just a PSA:
Once you’re in your 30’s and 40’s you can’t fuck around. If you aren’t feeling right, get it checked out. The worst that happens if you’re overreacting is you’re out a few bucks and are reassured you’re ok.
usafnerdherd t1_ix5mnvi wrote
I believe an uptick is predicted partly because of the pandemic. People weren’t exactly rushing to the hospital if it could be avoided and two years can make a big difference in something that typically requires early detection and intervention.

Draxus t1_ix6lmii wrote
ACR guidelines are changing in a way that will help get more of these caught. Technology is also helping. Part of the problem is that often these incidental findings get lost somewhere between the radiologist and some action being taken. It's up to your physician to read the radiologist's report, notice the finding (which is unrelated to the thing you're seeing them for) and make sure the follow-up happens. I work for a startup that's using machine learning to identify and track these things. It will get better!

My favorite episode of hers was when she came back as the girl Meg had possessed, and was like, fucking with Dean and blaming him for her death? I can't remember exactly which season, but it was a few seasons after she first appeared and I thought it was neat they got her back, and that they explored how technically, Sam and Dean did kill a few innocent people in killing the body the demon possessed. A lot of those folks were innocent people and they really just brushed over that a lot. But she did great in that episode and I thought she looked really good with longer hair.

I know a widow whose late husband was having hot flashes and went to the doctor had some testing and scans done and at the time it was a treatable endocrine cancer. BUT no one at his doctors office told him! 8 years later the symptoms were more frequent and he was finally diagnosed, it was terminal by that point. He did survive an unexpectedly long time after diagnosis. They had more good years but I know she still feels so much rage at her unnecessary loss of him. The work you’re doing is very important.
Dashiepants t1_ix73z7c wrote
Because we’re still going to die. It would be one thing if avoiding unhealthy things meant we wouldn’t
but you can do everything right (like my Mom and step mom who were both health nuts, ultra fit, never/rarely drank, never smoked and both died of cancer in their 50’s) and still die young
or you can do everything wrong and live to 101 ( like Grandpa) and live to 101.
We all die. Most of us unpleasantly. We all gamble.
And if I were in his genetic shoes I’d be hoping for the heart attack to get me before the dementia arrived. I hope the same for myself having done Alzheimer’s care for the last decade.

I'm really sorry about your family but I find your take backwards. Just because being healthier doesn't guarantee you won't get ill it infinitely increases your chances. Nothing is guaranteed.

Found a lump in my breast, made a mammogram appointment for the next day, went in and was refused service because I told them I had a lump in my breast. Found out at 3:30 on Friday before Thanksgiving week that they would not screen me without a doctor’s orders if I had any symptoms. Am currently waiting to hear back from my “doctor” I’ve only met with once, remotely, over a year ago, to gatekeep my needed medical care. Really awesome.

If it is randomly, it probably isn't cancer. What did your GP say when you asked?
Honestly, just keep a close eye on them - maybe get a blood draw every 3-6 months if you feel that nervous.

Not sure who was the better Meg but loved them both. Probably favor her. Her acting was the more convincing truly evil demon. The other more played her as just badass, basically. It was good but different. Nicki would be the one I was afraid of much more. One of their best side characters.
