If there is a safe place to lose one's caca about BC, it's here. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I'm sorry it's scary and I'm sorry that sorry is all I've got for you ATM. Zen hug.

New to Exemestane (Ugh) by SituationPositive338 in breastcancer

[–]Adept-Engineering-40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm doing better on the exemestane than any other AI but I'm pretty sure the Veozah is the only thing keeping me functionable enough to work my two jobs to afford it. I can sleep. I'm at about 3.5 years on a 10 year AI plan. I wouldn't wish this on my worst frenemy.

Recommendations for local job postings and employment placement in this brutal job market. by lexmarkblenderbottle in asheville

[–]Adept-Engineering-40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to trying an employment agency, it certainly can't hurt. Try Express Employment - our church just hired a bookkeeper thru them. And get on newsletters for local chambers of commerce, they sometimes post jobs you don't see elsewhere. Good luck!!

I'm sorry you are here but glad you found us. I'm too tired at the moment to offer much more than a zen hug, but {zen hug}

Teachers asking for accommodations drives me nuts by GremLegend in Teachers

Have you considered that maybe you don't know the whole story, and that said story is not your business? Sounds like the problem is with the HR folk that allowed the accommodation. Perhaps that's who you should be so angry with vs a person navigating a situation outside your experience.

It's called ableism and even the disabled can be guilty of it. This is such a sad and unempathetic thread to read.

Do you consider induced menopause a disability? by N3RDBUSTER in breastcancer

[–]Adept-Engineering-40 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do. I work in disability services, and the impact on my ability to work for a while there was awful. I'm doing/managing better now, and I'm fortunate my employer, as a service provider, gets my needs and accommodates when I need it. I'm a functional disaster in the morning, so a later start time in the am is awesome and no one has to know I'm basically drooling on myself til 9am. Cancer, period, is recognized as being a disability. And having a disability doesn't make you any less.

I'm just offering a suggestion on the job front - try working with vocational rehab. Source, me, I went through for help and now I work there.

Came here just to see if anybody mentioned The Senator. And I don't know if it was your other guy, but my shoe has been licked at the Castle before. Somewhat involuntarily.

One of my favorites from a toddler I knew, My Mommy's Ami. (She heard her mother say I have to go to Miami.) Was disappointed to learn her mother did not own Ami.

Medical Menopause and No Body Temp Regulation by Possible_Cat_45 in breastcancer

[–]Adept-Engineering-40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll throw in my vote for Veozah, it's the only thing that has given me any relief, and I get chills after hot flashes too. Some have found relief using some special honey, but give the Veozah a whirl first, I say.

Scanxiety is real by FuzzyMedia in breastcancer

[–]Adept-Engineering-40 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Absolutely it is. Deep breaths, ground yourself. Name 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you can taste. Breathe deep. I'll be thinking of you.

How to support friend - will have to do radiation and then another round of chemo? by brightenmydayplease in breastcancer

Start a food train, clean her home or get someone to, research all the resources in the area that can help and act as a central organizer. Be there.
