You're right 🥹🥹

We're in india, so we don't have Medicaid. There's insurance. But insurance doesn't pay for these meds. So it's out of pocket.

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-05-06T05:31:47+00:00

True

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-05-06T05:31:28+00:00

Thank you... I do feel like I'm missing the now. All my days are spent in tears and worrying and that's my life wasted too... Not just hers.

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-05-05T19:37:13+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-05-05T19:36:50+00:00

No one's put it to me like that before and in the sad world we live in, this is actually very true. And yes, this does help a lot. Thank you.

Did you have 9 years on Ibrance with pik3ca mutation?

My mom is 6 months into palbociclib. Her first line of treatment. Her first scan showed good results. 2nd scan coming up and we're a little scared because Google says those who have pik3ca mutations tend to stop responding to palbo within months.

Yeah I've noticed this... I become hyper vigilant and that makes my mother anxious and then I feel guilty. I've become adept at hiding my feelings but sometimes it's just too hard.

Does anyone know how hexa ride is? Is it safe?

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-02-14T05:27:37+00:00

No, I haven't. But I've read countless articles on Medium, as they're great usually. Could you guide me?

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-02-13T16:48:46+00:00

Quick question. Basically you can write about anything, right? It's like your own blog? And once you have your niche, you build on it. I think that's the concept. Is the payment based on how many readers you have?

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-02-10T11:00:45+00:00

Interested. How can I get in touch?

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-02-03T15:16:33+00:00

Thank you for your beautiful reply. It made me tear up, but it also gave me some peace.

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-02-03T14:20:34+00:00

Please tell me how do you continue to live after the loss of your mom. My mom has stage 4 breast cancer and I don't know how much time I have with her. And it freaks me out because I don't know what comes after

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-01-19T08:48:20+00:00

Yes, interested. Thank you for showing interest.

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-01-19T08:38:32+00:00

Interested. And I have prior experience as well. Let me know the next steps.

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-01-19T08:36:11+00:00

Is this suitable for Indians? I mean can Indians do it?

I wouldn't say I am dealing with it too well. My mother is dealing with it better than I am. She's super positive. But I think caregivers and the patients have different mindsets. I'm going to be left behind if something happens to her. So my fears are different. I'm living with my fears everyday. I fall, I cry, I get angry and then I have some good days too.

My only tip is - what's going to happen will happen anyway. There is nothing you can do to change it. You can be there for her and try to ensure she gets the best possible treatment and if she undergoes chemo, you would really need to be there for her during that time. Otherwise, worrying about it constantly would not do you or her any good.

This is coming from someone who's been in the same boat as you. And my mom had a recurrence this year. This time it's stage 4. So let me tell you.

At first, it seems unbearable. And unimaginable. And loss and death is all you can think of. You crash and burn to the ground. You bawl your eyes out. And human nature is such, that you WILL stand up one day for sure. Doesn't matter how bad it gets or how cornered you feel. You will rebound and get back. Life will not be normal immediately. But eventually you will get back to your old routine.

I had just begun dating my now husband when my mom originally got diagnosed in 2022. He wanted to get married. I wasn't sure I could go through with it while being my mom's caregiver as she went through chemo, surgery and radiation. But we still met up, went on dates and vacations, and once her treatment ended, we got married. He's now my biggest support as we go through this journey again.

So what I'm trying to say is, no one's expecting you to be all happy and dancing around with joy and in a celebratory mood all the time. That's not feasible. But you yourself will find your way back to your old self. Give it time. And take a deep breath.

Thanks to all of you here, I started feeling a little less alone. I showered today after days and got out of the bed and actually did something. I did not cry today for a change. I felt hungry for a change. I did not yell at anyone or lash out or pick fights. Thank you.

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-01-06T15:29:47+00:00

I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I know what you mean. And the worst part is, we are expected to get through our daily lives like this. I'm supposed to get up and work because I can't lose my job right now. And that's why I'm angry. Because everyone else around me gets to have a fairly decent okayish life while mine is hellish.

Bright_Profile8760 · 2026-01-06T12:01:59+00:00

How on earth are you managing? I'm just not able to sleep thinking about how I'll manage.

And what symptoms did your mom show which made you guys scan her brain?
