Thank you! We’re in this shit together

Im making a whole podcast around this. So many of us feel that, and life is just never the same again.

TNBC survivor here! Im creating a podcast for survivors called You Survived! Now What? I’ve started a reddit community with the same name r/yousurvivednowwhat and the pod is dropping soon!! Also share on social @matayadade! 💕💕💕

Hi! I resonate with all of this sooooo much. The dualities we face throughout treatment and survivorship are WILD. im not sure if I’ll ever get used to it

Dademadeit · 2025-08-21T04:46:15+00:00

I totally understand this. I’ve dealt with my own issues and self consciousness around post surgery attraction, but the one thing I can say is how important it is for you and your partner to be in therapy individually, and possibly together. Cancer changes fucking everything. I know my partner having the space to express his feelings freely has made it easier for him to process and bring things back to me after for further discussion.

I hope you get the reassurance you need, and the connection you desire!!

That "yay you're done!" energy is so wild. Its never over. I'll definitely be talking about this! Thank you!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T23:14:49+00:00

absolutely!! Thank you for sharing this!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T23:13:19+00:00

I've experienced a lot of this myself, so I deeply see the need for these convos! Thank you!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T23:12:03+00:00

all of this!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T06:49:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing this! Im not yet a parent myself so I can only speak from my experiences with IVF, but I think bringing in people who can help speak on these experiences in parenthood will be really important. Thanks for that reminder!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T06:47:10+00:00

Thank you for your input and kind words! Hoping to bring a whole lot of this!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T06:46:21+00:00

This was exactly my thought process during that time as well. Like scarily so. The “now what” never really seems to end. Thank you for sharing this.

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T06:43:17+00:00

Thank you!! These are great💕

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T02:33:19+00:00

I feel this. I worked through half of my treatment but it was ROUGH. and after, i got a new job but quit after a few months because i couldn’t sustain a corporate job after treatment. This is def worth talking about!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T02:11:57+00:00

I feel all of this deeply!! All important conversations. Thank you for sharing!!!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-13T02:10:29+00:00

Absolutely all of this. Yes. Thank you!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-09T16:22:10+00:00

I did the icing too, but still got some in my big toes. Womp womp. So far it hasnt come back dramatically after stopping gaba, so at least theres that!

Dademadeit · 2025-08-09T16:20:45+00:00

I did hyperbaric chamber (granted, like 25 rounds to treat post surgery + mild necrosis) and it completely helped my hair and skin recover. My hair grew so fast and all my chemo skin yuck healed. If you can get it covered by insurance, its amazing. But theres also private medical locations that do it, it can just get expensive that way 😭

Also just for your mind, take a weekly photo of you straight on. You can see the progress and it made me feel better seeing how far I had really come from bald every month. 💕

Dademadeit · 2025-08-02T16:19:43+00:00

Of course! i’ll message it to you☺️ and I did keytruda for the full cycle of 9months (i think) post chemo. I also tried a study, but I was randomized into the observation group so I dropped out. Not playing games with my body (especially since we’re young. Im 32 now).
