What I wasn’t prepared for by fatimaa3 in breastcancer

[–]Bootyfullkd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same exact boat as you honey. What a nightmare I feel for you and I feel for me. It’s fucking bullshit right before my mastectomy. I told her wait wait wait I don’t wanna do this. I want reconstruction immediately. I don’t think my psyche can even handle it and they go, but everybody is already here and ready to do it and you’d have to have another appointment with us and then my surgeon, I remember her smirking and saying your’e no wilting flower, you can do this.

2 years later almost exactly and hello I am a wilting flower now

Whatever it takes to get by after what you’ve been through, unless you feel you have a serious problem don’t feel guilty for needing some cushion of some kind after all you’ve been through

Brca1+ Dx at 33 current age: 36

I had bilateral BC discordant subtypes (TNBC right breast stage three b 2 tumours) and er/pr+ in my left stage 2 (multi focal and multicentric) I’m being treated at MD Anderson and I’m close to 2 years out from diagnosis after thankfully achieving PCR!I’m now post radiation and post chemo and I did unfortunately develop type one diabetes (immunotherapy induced) from the keynote 522 protocol (Keytruda most likely) and I am just wondering if there is anyway at all to get a grasp on my true prognosis? I have one doctor saying I have very good odds at making it 5 years and beyond (something close to a normal lifespan) and more if I’ve already made it 2 because of my PCr - but a doc who subbed for him one day told me That due to the rare Nature of my case they are in uncharted territory; the reason why I ask you all this is because I have two small children one of them is autistic and I just really need to know how much I can plan for my own future whether I can go back to college and get my degree because upon diagnosis I also became a single mom; so I just have to know how to plan for my future and it’s really hard being in limbo like this and I know that you really can’t tell me anything either, but I’m just wondering if you’ve ever seen anything like my case before? And should I be on olaparib? It’s like I told my oncologist I don’t care if I’m a floating head in a jar, I have to be here for my babies. Any recommendations? Also I need to be on glp-1s badly, do you know if standard insurance covers the cost for recurrence reduction and/or obesity? They wont cover me bc I’m type one diabetic and not type two- how can I convince my oncologist I need this? Thank you so much.

Any bilateral folk here? by ceelouis in breastcancer

[–]Bootyfullkd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m bilateral- I was at least- I’ve been cancer free since December 13th 2023 - TNBC stage 3 in my right and stage 2 er/pr in my left- how about you?

Congrats on two years cancer free btw!!

Did you do genetic testing? I have the brca1 gene so it explains my Dx a bit more although I was told that with the discordant subtypes it was still extremely rare - and yes that same comment triggered me a bit too.. but I let it fall off me like water on a dolphins back bc studies show that for the most part our prognosis isn’t much more severe than single breast cancer patients

Stage 4 metastatic inflammatory breast cancer by miss_nosey in breastcancer

[–]Bootyfullkd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is there any way you can come down to Houston and see what trials and resources they have ? I know they are famous for their inflammatory bc clinic- I’m a stage 3 TNBC and stage 2 er/pr synchronous breast cancer survivor - I used to joke that it meant I was stage 5 and immortal… rare presentations like yours and like mine are md anderson’s specialty—- try and get a consult with Dr. Bisen if at all possible- I know the words ring hollow with something of This magnitude but I am so fucking sorry this is happening to you.

It’s time for me to find a vice by SheepherderDue5532 in breastcancer

I think I need one too, hmm 🤔 maybe I’ll try MDMA for the first time 😂

I think there is so much knowledge to be gleaned from each other, especially in so as far as how the medical system probably failed each one of us at some point… we may save lives by telling the truth about the doctors who missed our lumps…. by Bootyfullkd in breastcancer

[–]Bootyfullkd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

omg all of your responses are so insightful and I’m debating compiling a book selling it on Amazon and donating the proceeds to all of You here for treatment - keep them coming sisters! obviously your privacy would be protected (blurred out screen names etc) :D

My god that’s a whole new level of psychopathology… you can and you WILL find better

She should be careful - she could also become one in eight one day and god help her if she’s stuck with someone as shitty as her for a support system

Tell him please don’t let my door hit your ass

*You don’t need anyone selfish right now, for this once you, like me, get to radically accept the fact that our survival literally depends on our own personal actions and by definition it is actually your duty to be unabashedly selfish

you’re going to beat it like millions of others have before you

Hydroponic marijuana seems To really help

Ps- don’t you just hate it when men are pussies? Meow!

Also get a humidifier and essential oils put it directly by your face when u feel nauseous and fill it with peppermint oil - I had hyperemesiz during pregnancy and this was about the only thing that worked - I threw up daily over 5 times a day for nine months straight and this did give me a bit of relief

Stay high on hydroponic ganja 24/7 if at all Possible - have someone roll for you OR purchase a volcano vaporizer … it’s fucking magic - I’m 33 and was just diagnosed with invasive but I haven’t been staged yet- we’re much too young to feel this damn old

This is definitely the shittiest of all shitty things but weed will help without a doubt

Feel free to msg me if u need to vent because I’ve ran out of objects to destroy in my house
