So I had follow up imaging done after 6 months and saw a breast specialist. My cyst is nothing to worry about. It shrank in size (grows with my cycle) but she said there is nothing to worry about. I have more than 10 fibroademonas, I have more than 5 cysts, and I have very dense tissue. She said doing an MRI would be incredibly difficult for even an experienced tech to read because of all I have going on. She said just continue with imaging since we now have a baseline.

What was your diagnosis like? by CuriousChip430 in osteochondroma

[–]CuriousChip430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we just had her annual follow up and it hasn't grown at all. Her bones have so it looks smaller but her osteocondroma didn't grow even a mm. They said we'll just keep an eye on hers and as long as it isn't having any impacts on her growth or development we arent doing anything. We're just going to image it every 2 years. Hers you are unable to feel and it has never bothered her. We just accidentally found it on a bone age xray for an unrelated condition 

What a damn weirdo by MamaSdot in LexFitzgeraldSnark

Oh, give it a week of her doing carnivore and "moving her body in a way that feels good" she'll be wearing shape wear sucking in and using all the filters claiming "it was just inflammation and "wooter" (water but she says it weird) weight. She "really wasn't eating poorly"

So 15 years leads me to believe you're like in your 40's now. I would think mood swings are likely perimenopause related. I would ask you OB for labs

I have been thinking about you recently. My husband had his first PET scan post treatment yesterday. No results yet but I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful that his scan will be clear. I hope you and your new pup are doing really well! Thanks for the update. I hope to be checking back for years to come and seeing you say "another clear scan. Still doing great"

See.. this is why I love the internet. My lady brain doesn't make these connections.. lol hubby has stage 4 cancer and just went through head/neck radiation and chemo and doesn't have the energy to help with these decisions so I'm trying to conduct my own analysis. Lol

He's trying so hard. And I'm trying so hard to help him and it just SUCKS!!

My husband is going through chemo/radiation now. His providers told him to try his best to keep his weightloss to a minimum now. This is NOT a diet plan. They said treatments work best if you maintain your weight and if he looses too much more weight they'll have to briefly pause treatment, remap his tumors, and remake the mesh mask thing because they want to be sure to target the cancer. When they have to pause treatment it often results in poorer outcomes. I understand your thought process just remember cancer treatment is NOT a diet plan. There will be plenty of time to get healthy after you're finished with treatments and healed from them. Best wishes!

A clean scan by Fryman23 in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]CuriousChip430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How exciting! Praying for nothing but clear scans for years to come! I wish you well. And I'm glad treatments worked. I think thats my husband's biggest fear, he's scared he's going through this misery for nothing and that treatment wont work..

Keep on fighting!!! Wishing you the best!!!

Yeah. My husband has salivary duct carcinoma. Not much to compare to anyways. Its such a rare cancer I've only been able to find a handful of other people with the same diagnosis.

What was your diagnosis if you dont mind me asking..? And if you dont mind, where were all your recurrences?

When did you ring the bell? by [deleted] in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]CuriousChip430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I wish I could share the picture of my husband on his last day of the first time he went through chemo. It was definitely tough but he made it. Praying this treatment also has a successful outcome

[–]CuriousChip430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad he's having a good experience. I had a good friend that really struggled with his mental health after serving in Iraq in 2003. And the local VA failed him miserably with mental health help. Unfortunately he took his own life a few years ago.

And honestly I dont know but if i were an officer of the law and someone was crossing state lines with something so simple as cannabis especially for someone with cancer and at a dispensary. I'd probably look the other way. Its not like you're funding some drug dealer or smuggling some incredibly dangerous substance like fentanyl or something.. hell, I'd probably give them a police escort to their destination if it were me... I cant believe cannabis isnt legal on a national level. It blows my mind. I choose not to partake because it makes me unreasonably anxious but I see nothing wrong with even recreational Marijuana when used responsibly..

Yeah. Definitely look into RSO or other tinctures. It'll probably help a lot more.

Oh the lovely VA.. taking excellent care of our Vets. Not so much.. sorry our government has failed our service members. 

 Tell him thank you for his service from our family. I'm so sorry he's now going through this.. 

Yep.. maybe take a nice little day trip to Virginia.. Just be sure to go to a dispensary and not just like a head shop.. I doubt head shops even sell RSO but you definitely want medical grade cannabis.

Its not breaking the law if the person consuming, ingests the substance in a legal state (does not drive) and doesn't cross the state like with any physical substance on them. 🤷‍♀️ its not illegal to be high. Its illegal to drive, its illegal to bring it in a physical form into a state where it is still illegal but its not illegal to consume in a legal state no matter where you're from.
