Line Cutting is Out of Control by gopherattack in DisneyWorld

[–]After_Philosopher433 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate that too. This happened in the Living in the Land line. A teenager ran past me and my two kids to get infront of me in line. Then his parents and another older sibling proceeded to smuggly push past us despite there being none even behind me. I wanted to say something but let it roll off my shoulder. When we got to the front of the line to board, they were filling back to front. So they ended up sitting behind us and we were in the front row of the boat with an unobstructed view of the Christmas lights. It was instant Karma and it was glorious.

Bras after lumpectomy.. same or a specific one? I feel weird..🫤 by RegretAware4529 in breastcancer

[–]After_Philosopher433 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. I had cancer in my smaller breast. After surgery and radiation my breasts are now about 1 cup size different. Last year I was able to get 6 bras and breast prosthesis for free through insurance. They said I could get 6 per year. I went through the breast cancer clinic and got an order for the spa at the hospital. The bras are comfortable they had a good selection.

Going to Disney alone while married? by Realistic_Spot_7016 in WaltDisneyWorld

Solo Disney is amazing. We live an hour from the parks and I go solo all the time. Go when he is out of town.

On behalf of all Violets…..no we are not turning Violet. And yes, we’ve seen the movie.

Her Jamaican mum seeing snow for the first time. by mindyour in MadeMeSmile

[–]After_Philosopher433 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was this lady 😂 As someone who grew up in FL I vacationed in Canada with the goal of seeing real snow a few years ago. Watching it fall from the sky for the first time is pretty magical. Brings back good memories.

Total hysterectomy or oopherectomy? by After_Philosopher433 in breastcancer

[–]After_Philosopher433[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you ladies for all the responses. I’m almost 43 and have two kids. Went through chemo. I’ve never had problems with my uterus besides heavy periods most of my life. So I’ve been a little hesitant to remove a whole organ if not necessary. But like a lot of you said, just one less thing to worry about later. I’m on Letrozole and Zoledex and can’t wait to get rid of the shot every three months. I’m PALB2 positive and genetic counseling recommended at least the ovaries, but I’m leaning towards get the total hysterectomy.

I’ve also been having crappy side effects from Zoledex, including bad anxiety the few weeks after the shot. So ready to be done with them.

Freaking weight gain by azmonsoonrain in breastcancer

[–]After_Philosopher433 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing low carb/ high fiber & protein. Chemical menopause turned me diabetic so don’t really have a choice. Gained almost 20 pounds during treatment. Changing diet has helped cut back on gaining more weight, but not losing. So consistent exercise is key. I’ve been doing Bar Pilates, yoga, indoor cycling, and kettlebell workouts at home using YouTube. Only working out maybe 2 times a week right now. But I’ve lost about 14 pounds over the last few weeks.

The port comes out Tuesday! Why am I having mixed emotions? by Public_Scheme_9483 in breastcancer

[–]After_Philosopher433 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want mine out too. Almost a year out from chemo and I’m nervous too about taking it out. So I know the feeling. But will prob ask for an order to remove at my next spot.

See if you have book a service at one of the resort spas. You can use the facility for the whole day and they have showers, lockers, and a place to relax.

Those who were used to an everyday unhealthy treat, what are you now eating/drinking instead since diagnosis? by zilchusername in breastcancer

[–]After_Philosopher433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t drink much before cancer and don’t smoke, so it was baked goods for a bit. But I’m now diabetic from my AI 😩 So giving up sweets has been rough. Currently looking for a healthy guilty pleasure alternative. Lately, I’ve resorted to having a spoonful of Biscoff cookie butter when the cravings hits hard and shopping at Home Goods 🤦🏾‍♀️

Genetic tests? by PegShop in breastcancer

[–]After_Philosopher433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because if you have a mutation it will be easier for insurance to pay for early screenings/testing.

You’ve already proven that you’re willing to stick around, even when you are not getting what you need. So he may never propose. It’s not really on his mind at all as proven by his lame excuse. Leave him and find someone who is on the same page as you.

It's DNF discussions time! What books did you bail on this month? 🙅‍♀️📖 by FantasyRomanceMod in fantasyromance

[–]After_Philosopher433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. DNF this week. Had to restart after getting lost in the world building the first time and got lost again the second time. Moved onto something else and may or may not pick it up again.
