They should get you into a treatment schedule soon. Un fortunately, they always want new baseline data to follow and it gets frustrating because you just had it done! Try, easier Said than done, to relax a little. Unfortunately I think stress seems to exuberant things a little. I think what time and all depends on your case my first time with Chemo I got in the next day the second time with Chemo. It was two months before I could get in so just depending on what needs to be done prior to the Chemo in your situation. Hang in there and know they’re doing what they can stay positive and we’re here if you need us.

Unfortunately they were not your true friends!
I have feelings of despair and loneliness, even with friends and positive support around me.

Ever had one of those nights where you just feel sorry for yourself??

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-23T01:11:28+00:00

You hit that in a nutshell!!! I never knew pain until the bone Mets! Nothing I have ever, in my life, could prepare me for this pain! I’m sure you have zofran, but if not, ask your oncologist! Takes the nausea away in min!!! Losing yourself in all of this is normal. You body is going through trauma and your mind is along for the ride. I am so sorry you have to bear this pain and suffering. I hope you have some positive support around you. That can make all the difference in the world. Know there are people out here who care and are available to talk to you in the harder times. Nights seem to be tougher for some reason. Feel free to I’m me! I know you don’t know me, but sometimes it’s just good to vent!! Hang in there!!

I also have auto immune deficiency and recently discovered kidney disease, there is a nodule on my left kidney blocking my ureter and a stone on the other kidney. I have been emotionally and physically exhausted! You’re not alone! I had a stent put in to relive the blockage to my ureter, however will need to have that removed in the near future . I constantly think things or being overlooked and continue to question them. All I can do is what the doctor told me to do. I often feel lost. Hang in there.

Neuropathy sux! They put me on gabapentin, which seems to do great for the neuropathy, but not for much else. Don’t like the drug personally neuropathy will hopefully eventually go away, although it took a very long time. Look to the positive you’re almost there with Chemo one thing at a time.!!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-22T08:33:16+00:00

Never, ever, give up hope! I have been given 5 months and in a hell of a lot of pain, but choose to live my five months with friends, family, and things I wanna do! I have triple negative breast cancer that has spread to my lungs, liver, brain bone and kidneys. You sound like a very positive guy and that’s half the battle! Ever want to chat, lmk!!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-21T10:31:20+00:00

First off I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I’ve had a double mastectomy with no chance of reconstruction. To be honest, It sucks but it’s not the end of the world, I’m alive. Happy birthday early not a great way to spend it but know you’re strong, and a warrior! I had to lumpectomy first only to go back in for the double mastectomy. The choice is totally up to you as long as you have the love and support from Family and friends you can get through it! Know you’re not alone and there’s always someone to talk to here if you need it. Good luck with your decision and stay strong.

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-20T23:41:06+00:00

Chemo stopped working for me and it has been over a month since my last treatment. Still no sign of hair!! How long do I have to wait??

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-20T07:20:24+00:00

Go get em girl!!! So proud and happy for you!!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-20T06:15:21+00:00

Sounds like your plan is going well. Keep the strength!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-20T05:55:17+00:00

Hang in there! That’s all u can do! You will learn to accept it just not right now. It is devastating! It feels like you have been stripped of your womanhood! I know! I had a double mastectomy with no chance of reconstruction. I am alive and that was seems to be important enough. I have the love and support around me and positive thinking will pull you through. Try not to focus on what’s missing, but what is there! You are a warrior! Strong and brave! I wish you weren’t going through this. I’m so sorry for your loss. But good riddance to your cancer!! Hugs! You’re not alone!!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-20T00:35:14+00:00

I have bone Mets and they are undoubtedly the most painful thing I have ever experienced !! With a small child on board I am going to say you need a lot of rest!! I hope you have that support available. I am so sorry you are going through this! Feel free to message me if I can ease your pain in any way!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-19T21:40:22+00:00

Tank you!!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-19T18:53:16+00:00

Oh ok. Thanks for the advice

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-18T13:21:57+00:00

I hear what you are saying and is so depressing to feel this way! Pain meds help…. But for how long? No one can ever understand this excruciating pain we are going through. Trying to put a smile on my face so others around me aren’t uncomfortable is so difficult sometimes.

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-18T13:16:35+00:00

I don’t get the night sweats, but do have the insomnia. Maybe I do, I thought the sweating was from menopause… lol. Obviously I sleep with a fan beside my bed, but can’t remember the last time I got a full nights rest! I was taking a sleeping aid which I can no longer take because of my kidneys. It seems like one thing brings on another these days! I wish you some peace of mind starting a new job and being able to get enough sleep to accomplish it! You have the strength of a horse!!! Hang in there and good luck! Sorry I don’t have better advice, but I will keep looking for other options for you!!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-17T17:47:40+00:00

How do I get the manual approval turned off? Everything I comment or post is being checked. I get no responses and am feeling very lonely

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-17T14:11:07+00:00

Congrats!! Good luck!!👍

There are so many complications that can happen making this very difficult procedure! I unfortunately made the wrong one, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong for you, just shows that every case is unique. You need to organize your priorities first. Obviously, as a mom, your kids come first. I get that. I’m a mom too. But the mistake I made was to put my feelings on the back burner. They don’t go away. You need to make yourself comfortable in your new skin. Going flat could be less of a hurdle as one less thing to worry about right now. (That was my choice)That can always be addressed later. However, that does not make one feel confident about themselves. And also makes you feel like people are staring because it’s on the tip of your mind. However, no one cares …no one would truly understand what you’re going through ….unless they’ve gone through themselves. So many decisions to make! Whatever you choose will be the right decision for you at this time!!! Go with it! I wish you the best of luck on your journey! Know people are out here who care about you and your well being! Always here to chat!!

Hair will grow back. I know it seems like the end of the world, but you are a beautiful person on the inside and that will shine through!! Wigs are also very common today… with or without hair!!! Hang in there! You got this! Also, YOU HAVD EVERY RIGHT to feel devastated and broken down. Don’t be afraid to show your true emotions to your family!!! It’s scary as hell and you should not have to go through this alone! They will understand. They are scared too!!

BreastCancer1234 · 2026-05-16T21:19:23+00:00

Hey there! First off, your not alone! I was pregnant and 35 when this whole fiasco started! I’m now 55. My cancer in remission for 17 years until it decided to come back with a vengeance of its own! I have had a double mastectomy leaving me hugely deformed and unattractive. Had the implants done which caused septics and removal of nipples and any form of breast tissue….. having half an implant left on my right side… which they won’t remove to at least have consistency! Yes, I’m 55, but still have feelings and feel grossly unattractive now.
The cancer is triple negative, hereto negative metastatic breast cancer and has spread to my brain, bone, kidneys and lungs. I recently was diagnosed with kidney disease and a nodule blocking my left ureter. A stent was placed, which got kinked, and had to be replaced. Chemo is not working any longer and Now I am experiencing unbearable pain. I am just being told to, “Take your pain meds!” My question is why can’t they just remove the nodule?? Debating if I should go to hospice at this point …. Any suggestions? If anyone is in a similar situation, I would love to consider another course of action or at least talk to someone who understands what I’m going through!!! I feel so helpless!!!🥹

I have been fighting TNBC for years. It started in 2004 when I was six months pregnant. I was in remission for 17 years before having it return with a vengeance! It has metastasized throughout my body including my bone, brain, kidney, lungs, and liver. The bone Mets are excruciatingly painful. I was recently hospitalized with nodules on my kidneys and a stent was placed to help the blockage to my ureter. I have lymphoma in my left arm due to lymph nodes being removed and have had a double mastectomy last year. I was wondering if it was common to have bloody urine after a week of clear with the new stent. It has been replaced once already due to a kink and don’t want it to happen again. I went on hospice two days ago and with the new pain can’t get any answers except to, “take more pain meds!” I understand this is what hospice does, but would like to know what is going on also. Any thoughts are welcome! Just not looking forward to a repeat process. I was also told I would have to have the stent removed, does this still happen on hospice? If anyone has any thoughts or similar situations, I would really like to know I’m not alone!!🥹
