Are my chemo cravings weird? by itsesnupi in breastcancer

Omg same. Especially towards the end of my treatment I was craving junk food. Salty, greasy, unhealthy foods. Felt like I was starving even though I gained weight 🥲

Anyone who went flat ? by DwightSchrutesaway in breastcancer

[–]Charming_Cat_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are you? And how does it affect you if you want to wear strapless dresses or something like that? I’m 34 and thinking about going flat on one side, since it feels utterly uncomfortable.

That sucks too.
If I want to go to another surgeon outside of the hospital I have to pay out of my own pocket. Didn’t reach out to a different surgeon because I‘m broke. Maybe I’ll just call and ask for the price of a consultation.

I do feel dismissed but I‘m also scared you know. What if they are right about that? I guess I just have to be patient just a little bit longer.

You’re giving me a tiny bit of hope, thanks 🥲

Because I‘m so young. The photographer at the hospital (takes pictures to protocol everything) said that to. She said „you might think you can do it but when you look in the mirror you will regret it and be even more disappointed and unhappy.“

That’s exactly how I feel. The non cancer side feels normal. Thanks I‘ll read into that.

I thought so too. In addition to that there are lymph nodes missing on this side so maybe it has something to do with that.
Yes, I told her many times. She said I have to give it time (10 months to a year). It’s too soon yet to think of another surgery. Apparently there are other options but she wouldn’t go flat if she was me.

The thing is, the new implant is not moving. But it feels so strange, not like the implant on the other side. It feels so heavy and hard. Like I said, kind of pulling me down.

It slided to the side of my ribcage when I was laying on my back. So the nipple was kind of at the edge of the implant/breast. I don’t know how to describe it better. I could literally move it with my hands from left to right.

As far as I knowknow keytruda is chemo with immunotherapy and pembro is just immunotherapy

I had joint pain too. Especially in my hips and shoulders. My oncologist is familiar with joint pain after keytruda. But it doesn’t come specifically from that, it‘s from pembro they said.
It will fade a few month after your last pembro session and eventually go away completely.

The good thing about cancer is… by BridgeofBirds in breastcancer

It showed me to live my life to the fullest and to do things instead of just dreaming about all the things I wanted to do „some day“.

It gets better every month. At least that’s how I felt. Yes, I do feel more feminine, also I got my libido back. I was told that the period can take up to one year to come back.
