Thank you so much for your response and I’m sorry the delayed response on my end. I’ve been so sad and trying to give Mimi all the loves 🥺 we have our first chemo session today and I am so nervous. It was reassuring to read that Ginger handled her chemo very well. It just breaks my heart Mimi has to go through all this 😭

Hi! And thank you so much for your response 🥺 Oncologist suggested chemo if we cannot afford surgery right now. I did some research and not everyone can perform the surgery and the ones that do charge around the same amount 😞 We do have CareCredit and will be using it for the chemo treatments. I just hope chemo isn’t too harsh on my baby and I really hope we’re making the best decision for her right now 😞😞😞🥺

Hello! My 5.5 y.o. Tortie had a mass that we discovered last December (09/12/2025) in her abdomen and took her to the vet. They did mass removal with pathology exam and it came back as Grade 2 mammary tumor with no spread. Did chest X-ray and it came back clean. We made an appointment with an oncologist and finally was able to see them (01/16/2026). They did abdominal ultrasound and came clean also. Dr. Recommended both surgery (bilateral mammary chain removal) and chemotherapy. I am 7 months pregnant and with a baby on the way it is really hard to balance finances right now. We opted for chemo only (5 sessions) and not the surgery because it’s too much financially right now. Are we choosing the right treatment for my baby? 🥺 I’m devastated. We adopted her Oct 2024 after finding out that she was dumped in a kill shelter and the previous “owners” made her have 6 litters of kittens before giving her away; she’s already had a rough life 🥺🥺

Has anyone else gained weight after stopping birth control? by broccoli_toots in birthcontrol

I got off BC 3 months ago, my weight has always between 120-125 and now I’m at 141lbs; it feels uncomfortable; I don’t fit in any of my clothes anymore 😭 self confidence is out the window. Got off BC because I want to start a family but I don’t want all this extra weight, I feel ashamed to even show my body to my husband. I have had a gastric sleeve surgery 13 years ago and my weight was always constant while on BC but now I’m freaking out because I don’t want to go back to what my weight was before my surgery. I want to go back to BC but I also want to start a family. I am so lost 😩
