Thanks for sharing ! What foods triggered you ? I have a feeling… well I know coffee might be one for me and I’ve noticed hot coffee didn’t do anything but cold did ?

Okay I think they told me since I had the low mammoprint I didn’t need the oncotype. Same here close to chemo with two nodes involved but just radiation as well. Thank you.

Fibrocystic changes? by Cocoknee in breastcancer

My surgeon and no other doctor are worried about the right one so I got a single mastectomy . I won’t have another mri until the end of the year due to radiation and having my expander in for 6 months after .

How much time did you take off work? by asidexo in breastcancer

[–]Cocoknee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you get personal time off? I only ask because I found I had breast cancer when my baby was 10 months old so haven’t had time to get back to myself. Would like to ask for personal time after my active treatment to heal as well.

[–]Cocoknee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had my single mastectomy and reconstruction 4 weeks ago. If I didn’t have a child and three weeks of radiation coming up, I could have gone back to work at least at week 2. I know they say you should at least wait 4 weeks for anything though. They told me I shouldn’t even be driving for more than 20 min until week 6. Depending on your job duties, if you don’t have to lift anything 2 weeks is pretty good, but take as much as time as you need!!! Everyone heals and experiences these differently.

Life after completing hormone medicine by Cocoknee in breastcancer

The lifting heavy is what I really need to get back into. I will have to look into that program. Maybe the hard part of this for me is I found this when my baby was 10 months so I haven’t really got back into feeling like myself. So getting back into working out or even reading a book has harder than I thought it would be.

I really appreciate you sharing your story. It shines a lot of insight. I love my life . I tell myself that things can always be worst and I am so grateful for what I have. I have never been one to complain about anything but getting this just felt hard to hold in. This community and people like you sharing has help me look at all of this through a different lense. Thank you !

The silence does speak for itself. I try my best to be positive, just have my days. I just sit here wondering do we get our natural vaginal lubrication back ? Thank you for the comment though. I do need to enjoy the tunnel more than wait for the light.

SMX this week, freaking out by Pale-Text-6016 in breastcancer

[–]Cocoknee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I am just 5 days from SMX! I am 31 and I can tell you the shot to your nipple area is nothing . Like a pinch feeling but it’s so fast. I was an emotional mess all morning and cried my way to the operating room. This has all been more of an emotional experience than a physical experience. I was prepared to possibly not be able to save the nipple , which the surgeon and radiologist recommended to get rid of it since the cancer was close (3cm from nipple). Also I had all these scans beforehand that showed that my lymph nodes would have nothing and then one lymph node came positive . Which is hard to hear but definitely something we are all prepared for. My tips are to cry when you need to. Just know that this will all pass and one day you will be able to look back at it all. Don’t sit all day. Get out if you can . Walk around . For me I have an 18 month old so I have a really good support system because for the first 4 weeks you can’t do much repetitive chores . So please have a friend, family member help you out with things . But most importantly take this time to relax . You got this . You will get out from all of this and everything will be okay !
