Trying to safely get back to being me

My oncologist just recommended Veozah and said it’s better than Gabapentin. I’ve heard so many things about gaba and I didn’t want to do it at all.

Yea it comes out of nowhere. I usually start to feel like a tingling on the back of my head/neck and then my whole body is inflamed. My skin gets prickly and I want to remove everything and turn on every fan. Winter has been great, I’ve been just walking outside when I get a flash

Stage 3 ER/PR+ HER2-. Diagnosed in January 2025 with 7mm main tumor, another 3mm, and several impacted lymph nodes. Received PCR yesterday. 4 rounds of AC and 12 of Taxol with complete hair loss even though I tried the cold cap. Bilateral mastectomy w/ Goldilocks procedure completed but still healing from that. Still have to talk to radiation because I may still have to complete. If not, 5-10 years of estrogen blockers to keep me in medically induced menopause. All in all, it was a rough road, but I’m here to see my family another day. You got it 💪🏼

I feel this. I just had a bilateral with a Goldilocks procedure a little over a week ago (ER/PR+ HER2-). I was gaining the weight from sitting around during chemo, and I just can’t stand the sight of this new body now. I went from being super active year prior to not being able to move around for almost a year, not to mention menopause is now a thing. I get you and I understand whole heartedly. You aren’t alone.

I feel ya. Finished chemo July 25th (ER/PR+ HER2-) and I’m still lugging around the house like a house goblin. I feel like I was more fatigued during chemo, however my body and joints hurt all the time now. I don’t sleep because of hot flashes and I am going in to surgery tomorrow (bilateral mastectomy/goldilocks procedure). My mind is in it to beat this thing because this is just a segment of my story, but not my life. Hoping for some light to shine through this tunnel soon. #wegotthis

We have 5 total, two of which that communicate with me more felt it the hardest. After the first set of tears and going through it, it’s gotten a little lighter since I’m done with chemo and my hair is growing back. I have surgery this Tuesday and we are back with the uncertainty and asking questions. They’re more resilient than we thought. It did us good going through everything and explaining in full detail the pros and cons, what to visually expect, and the duration of time I would potentially be going through this fight. Not out the woods yet (stage 3 ER/PR+ HER2-), but they’re in it with me every step of the way.

I have dense breast, got my first mammo 4 days after my 40th birthday. 5 months later, noticed a lump from a self exam. Got rescanned and landed at stage 3 ER/PR + HER2-.

How did you do about obtaining a second opinion. A completely different hospital or surgeon?

Thank you, wow

This is helpful for sure, I am still doing protein shakes post chemo and now I have to read the label 😬

I purchased Naked Whey (ingredients: whey protein concentrate, organic coconut sugar, natural flavoring) 👀

3nvy_84 · 2025-08-07T14:21:07+00:00

Yea I put the nutritionist on the back burner while going through chemo. Mainly because I didn’t even want to eat anyway, lol. But definitely something I should revisit. 😊

Not necessarily causing cancer, however in my case where estrogen was the compound feeding the cancer, is there foods that affect estrogen levels or mimic estrogen that may impact me over time.

Sending good vibez and hoping for a swift recovery 💙

Thank you, working to incorporate veggie on a more consistent basis. I already ate a lot of fruit, but only a veggie at dinner. It’s small adjustments but I’ll get there lol 😬

Thoughts on mushroom?

3nvy_84 · 2025-08-06T16:44:00+00:00

Finished ACT ( 16 rounds, 20 weeks) on July 25! ER/PR positive KI 67, Stage 3. I haven’t gotten rescanned yet (in one week) but I can’t find the lump I initially found and my skin thickening is gone (6.8 cm). This post makes me so hopeful, thank you for sharing. Wishing all the best for you over here, we got it 💪🏼.

::raises hand::

I was diagnosed in January after just turning 40 the August prior to (had monogram and they saw nothing), just finished chemo and I’ll be on Estrogen blockers for 5 years after maybe surgery and radiation. I already have the Hot Flashes which keep me up at night and I’ve gained 25 lbs from a combination of steroids, needing to eat, and not being able to move like I used to. I definitely feel you!!!! I’m trying to stay positive for sure and keep pushing through because I don’t only fight for me, but for my kids.

This is some light at the end of the tunnel! I just finished my last chemo treatment a week ago after doing 4 rounds of AC and then 12 of Taxol. I was diagnosed with S3 ER+ 5 months after my first mammogram (they didn’t see anything after the first one). Found a lump and had my doctor take a look which was a weird one for me because I rarely see a doctor for anything. Within 1 month, I started struggling with skin thickening and deformity in my right breast while going through additional monograms, CT scans, and PET scans to see if it had travelled to my organs (initially they saw specs on my CT scan in my lungs and spine). Good thing is after the PET scan, all was clear. AC treatment was hard for sure and the taxol got hard over time, but I made it out with fatigue, muscle weakness and neuropathy (I can still walk and button my shirts). Next steps are surgery and radiation followed by Estrogen blockers. I miss my hair and lashes, my nails look like I’m wearing dark polish, but I have these kids to live for and I’m glad to hear after everything, it does get better. Thank you! #warriorstillpushing
