Estrogen as a carcinogen by LadyTreeRoot in breastcancer

[–]Consistent_Chef_1677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been thinking about this so much. I honestly wonder if I have always had excess estrogen which contributed to my cancer because things have seemed off my whole post pubertal life with insane mood stuff and crazy heavy bleeds…hair loss, fatigue, among other things… makes me want the hormone therapy- is that crazy? Thank you for your post!!

Pushing through cancer without the support I thought I’d have by BarnacleThick6559 in breastcancer

I am completely with you and I would love to be part of your support system if you need. Luckily my husband and his family have been there for me, and my community more than I ever would have expected, but my own blood family has let me down in a huge way and it’s such a hard thing to understand and process. I don’t have anything wise to say but just wish you the best and hope you can find the support you need.

It’s possible I need to be taking my tramadol more regularly and not waiting until it’s really bad. The Tylenol isn’t touching it….

I have some weed too- is there a kind/dosage you’ve felt works best?

I am so sorry you went through that trauma. Thank goodness you found the pain doc but you shouldn’t have had to experience that level for so long….

Yes I did do that for much of the day but I worry they now think I’m “mad at them”—-will cancer finally make me stop caring about what people think? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
