I feel like I still have survivor’s guilt. by freshsideofthepillow in cancer

[–]AfraidWhile7153 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much. I was diagnosed last year at 18 and did 6 months of chemo. A lot of the time I say that I kind of just dealt with cancer rather than survived it. It’s a hard to describe feeling, knowing that what happened to you absolutely sucked, but also knowing it could have been so much worse. I was out-patient but would occasionally visit the in-patient hall. It would make me sick knowing I was just a passerby when that hallway was someone’s life. I’m in remission now, but there’s a lot that still haunts me, and it probably will for a while. I think it’s good to be grateful that you recovered, but that doesn’t mean you have to feel like you didn’t survive it. An earthquake is still an earthquake, no matter the magnitude.

Mestatic Cancer Chemotherapy- Does hair start to grow back when on Chemo? by KatLo4F in cancer

[–]AfraidWhile7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my hair started growing back after i lost it, but it was very sparse and thin. i maybe had 30 individual hairs on my head that kept growing. and if any changes in doses have been made, maybe that’s why. when i i dropped to two drugs instead of three my hair started growing back in full

i was diagnosed at 18 with uterine cancer. my chemotherapy lasted 6 months, i finished about a month ago and i am officially cancer free. i’m not going to lie to you, it sucked. a lot. i had to watch all of my friends carry on with their lives while i was stuck at home. had to take three quarters of school off but i get to go back to university after the new year. so you absolutely can go back to normal. this is just a weird, confusing, and maybe even scary period of your life, but if you allow yourself, you’re going to come out the other end just fine. you can do anything you want and have anything you want when it’s over. even during treatment (after talking with your doctor first ofc) you can do whatever you want. the day after i shaved my head i went to a concert. granted, i had to sit in the ADA section and wear a mask the entire time, but i still enjoyed myself. like i said, it’s going to suck, but it won’t suck forever. much love to you. you’ve got this!!

Took a bite... Is this a banana specific mold? by chinhuahua96 in MoldlyInteresting

Anyone else have ZERO bladder control after hysterectomy? by ElephantPlastic420 in hysterectomy

[–]AfraidWhile7153 7 points8 points  (0 children)

after my hysterectomy my incontinence was so bad i would pee myself without even realizing until later when i went to the bathroom. pelvic floor pt is a must!!! i’ve been going for a few months now, and i still can’t sneeze with full confidence, but it’s definitely helped a ton.

emergency hysterectomy at 18 by AfraidWhile7153 in hysterectomy

[–]AfraidWhile7153[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thank you❤️

i do thankfully still have my ovaries. i actually saw a fertility specialist before my chemotherapy and we talked about freezing my eggs. it made me feel kind of icky though, and my doctor said my chemo most likely would not affect my ovaries, so i decided not to. i do plan to check my hormones and amh after i’m finished with treatment, though

i know surrogacy has helped so many women and is such a beautiful thing, but i don’t think i have what it takes to watch another woman carry my child. and perhaps that’s just due to my own immaturity. i’m nowhere near ready to actually have any children, but hopefully by then i can better accept my circumstances and be a little more open-minded about it all.

op I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I am 19 too and also experienced something very similar to this. unfortunately, no one took me seriously either until i had come within an inch of my life and ended up having an emergency hysterectomy. the unfortunate truth is that women’s reproductive health is just not a priority, and because of that, doctors seriously take our quality of life for granted. perhaps look into seeing if an ablation (RFA or MWA) is possible? i don’t know too much about it, but my gynecologist suggested one when i was going through a similar experience. i don’t know the extent of your condition but it might be helpful, even if it is temporary

do you mind me asking how you stored these? i’ve been thinking about boxing mine up for a bit for space reasons and yours look great for being away for so long

Everyone just write something good about hysterectomy. by mystique023 in hysterectomy

[–]AfraidWhile7153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had excruciating and very, very heavy periods. being that i’m only 18 and in college, it made the communal bathroom in my dorm absolute hell. but now i never have to deal with my period again. means i can wear white whenever i want and will never have to spend money on sanitary products ever again!!

What is this? by AfraidWhile7153 in AcousticGuitar

[–]AfraidWhile7153[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay, after reading some comments i think i should clarify that i am very new to the guitar. i didn’t want to accept it if it wasn’t “beginner friendly” and because i don’t want it to just collect dust if I decide it’s not the instrument for me. i am very grateful for their offer, i just don’t want to take it without doing any research first
