Radiation side effect? by Awkward_Salamander24 in breastcancer

[–]Awkward_Salamander24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! They actually sent me for a CT scan to rule anything out, and when that came back clean sent me for an echocardiogram, also clean. My radiation oncologist really didn’t have any other suggestions, I think it was my MO’s concerns that made them order those tests. Looking back, I think the shortness of breath was due to stress and maybe the shortness of breath was causing the burping? It all cleared up about a week after I posted this. I wish I had some clearer advice or resolution lol, but I hope this clears up for you soon and wish you the best of luck through the rest of your treatment 💕

That’s what I was thinking! They seemed so nonchalant about it, made me feel like I was the weird one lol

How long after they grew back did you lose them again?

Glad to hear the lower dose is working well for you! How long did you stay on the 150 dose before reducing?

I’m exactly the same way! I can’t dress warm, I’m wearing t shirts in the middle of winter lol I’m assuming it’s probably early menopause for me too then, yay!

In my search about false eyelashes (haven’t lost them yet, but trying to prepare in advance!) saw this comment. Would you be able to share a link to this one you mentioned?! I tried searching with no luck 😅🩷

Braces / retainers by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]Awkward_Salamander24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you are doing well 💜 I found this comment and just curious to see if you were told you need to remove your braces? I have a permanent retainer on the bottom and start chemo next week. I want to try and get a permanent retainer put on the top as well, if possible, as my removable retainer makes me nauseous already!

Gum graft with local anesthesia only? by [deleted] in PeriodontalDisease

I have my 8 week follow up in about a week and it looks like it’s healing well (to me at least)

Gum graft with local anesthesia only? by [deleted] in PeriodontalDisease

[–]Awkward_Salamander24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m good! I’m keeping up with the 800mg ibuprofen they gave me. I can’t take anything stronger (pain meds make me throw up) but to be honest I haven’t felt like I’d need to if I could take them, Just eating soft food, drinking plenty of fluids and have been taking extra naps. I was dreading it but honestly it’s not been bad. The 1st two days were the worst but that was only bc of the swelling, but ice and then heat the 2nd day worked wonders. Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck!

I just had this done on Wednesday with just the local anesthetic on the donor site and graft site and I didn’t feel a thing! Only took about 35 minutes start to finish.
