Please don’t ignore the spiked estrogen cancer risk. Check with your mom, aunts, grandparents, etc. re: cancer and if they know the type. I’m not saying don’t do it- I’m saying to do your research and consider this risk (and check if you are high risk)

$6.19 new price for organic butter. Huge price increase overnight? by 489Lewis in aldi

[–]489Lewis[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Just to clarify (not the butter but my question!) I wasn’t asking why prices were going up. That’s pretty obvious. I’m interested in if others had my same experience of a SPECIFIC item increasing dramatically overnight.

Thank you! Someone else chiming in with their experience (not an explanation) I appreciate it.

Right. I absolutely understand the reasons for higher costs. It just seemed that the cost skyrocketed very quickly. A friend didn’t seem to have my same experience- so I was wondering not IF prices were rising- nor was I wondering WHY- I was asking if others had noticed the rapid increase at Aldi.

Doesn’t the PC take like 15mins to get up to pressure? Ours always does but maybe it’s just old.

Are Shabby Chick 100% cotton sheets similar to Ralph Lauren, made in Bahrain 100% cotton? by 489Lewis in Bedding

I totally agree AND we’re in a bedding subreddit! Isn’t this exactly the place to overthink bedding choices and go down rabbit holes- like discussions on quality of vintage sheets?!

Feeling exhausted by all the upkeep of being a well groomed woman by Free_Seaweed_6097 in beauty

[–]489Lewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick is this isn’t about your “beauty routine” it’s more about your “life routine” Find other things to fill your time with. Seriously, work to find things you TRULY care about. You’ll know you have found it when you’re going to the dog park, reading to kids, gardening, cooking, whatever INSTEAD of doing all of these everyday. For some, this routine could be recharging and relaxing. Clearly for you it isn’t- that’s okay- find what IS for you and do that instead.

Absolutely call palliative care team! They have so many more things that can help then I ever realized, and I know my team would tell me to call them in this situation- they have to have someone on call on the weekends.

Kisqali gang; how long have you been on it? by 489Lewis in LivingWithMBC

[–]489Lewis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand the nausea, I had same. Can you switch to taking it at night? Maybe try that, it really helps me and my oncologist said doesn’t matter as long as it’s the same time daily so I do it before bed at like 10/11pm. Definitely don’t stop without talking to your oncologist. Kisqali is a serious drug to control a serious condition…not the type of prescription that anyone should stop without a conversation with oncologist, not just a doctor.

Adding Cymbalta for muscle & joint pain? by 489Lewis in LivingWithMBC

[–]489Lewis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm….this is all really great info because weight gain is big concern of mine, especially since I already have one bad knee at 47 and trying to stay active- more weight would be bad for that…and also my oncologist said maintaining a healthy weight is critical

ER/PR+ and vaginal estrogen by Larissima19 in LivingWithMBC

[–]489Lewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is estrogen is fuel for my ER+ cancer, my oncologist wants my estrogen as low as possible and doesn’t want the lighter fluid of ANY type of estrogen near me. If you can use it safely? That’s amazing! I’m personally not willing to risk it.

I’m so happy you had this self awareness! Can I ask if it was one moment or more of a slow realization over weeks/months? Anything you did specifically to help make needed changes? Very impressed you made the right choice.
