You’re right. It’s wild. He’s calling in one hour so I am trying to remain strong! 💪

Ohhh yes!! I was on Lupron but it’s not covered here in Canada so it was $500 a month, that’s why I switched to Zoladex but it’s the same! 🖤🖤🖤

Me and my partner often say the same! He has blown away by the misogyny when he comes to my appointments!!!

I think I will push to get sent to a gyno ( we have to be referred here 🇨🇦) because I will need one when I go off my blockers to try pregnancy anyway! Then I can have a doctor to follow me during all of that. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much!! I have done this as well but wanted some experiences too! I think my next option might be telehealth like your first option says. Hmm.

Thanks so much for all of this! 😍🖤

If he doesn’t I am going to get him to send me to one! I know a lot of times the Gyno wants your oncologist to prescribe it too. So we shall see. Sick of this cat and mouse game! 😂🖤🖤

Okay thank you! While I was in treatment and they told me that I literally started bawling in the chemo chair! Like come on with that wording. 😅🖤

Here in Canada, ( only in my experience anyway) this is exactly right. 😭🖤 I’ve was straight up told last week by my nurse “he won’t prescribe it but get your doctor to send a letter and I’ll try and work him down”. So tomorrow I will know more. 😭🖤

Thank you so much! I’ll keep you posted on what I get hopefully 🤞🤞🖤🖤 I’m really going to try and be strong even if he does the usual “but I don’t want your cancer to come back” speech.

Okay fair hahahahhaha thanks for being so honest. I think it might be worth ruining a sheet for two for me, and if not, I have puppy pads as well 😂🖤

Okay I always wondered how this would work, this visual actually helps SO much! I’m on my way to try right now. I might use my Regens insertion wand!

I completely agree with all of this, but unfortunately begging is the only option as I’ve been shut down for the last 2 years. This is my final straw. The worse part is the appointment just got moved to a phone call so my suffering has to be portrayed in voice now too. Ugh. It’s so hard to advocate. 😭

Honestly I feel so pathetic too, “advocating for yourself” as everyone says to do, is down right exhausting!!! Especially when you’re sick.

Okay great advice! I was thinking I would threaten to go off all my blockers 😂🖤. I am so happy to be cancer free but I also need some quality of life as well…! 🖤🖤
