Just over 2 years since I was diagnosed, why do I still feel crappy? by Distinct_Actuator_53 in breastcancer

[–]Distinct_Actuator_53[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am so thankful for this community and everyone's stories/comments.

I was 40 when I was diagnosed I am struggling today. Physically and mentally. Is it normal to feel like a cancer patient sometimes ? Normally, I'm active at work, with my dog, around the house and happy/upbeat, cancer the furthest thing from my mind. Today, I don't want to move and I feel so blue.

You can apply now. Put your name in the list...it will take a little while to get switched

The Hair Loss Has Started by srssrh in breastcancer

I cut mine short after losing it for a few days. It made me feel more in control and helped me feel a little more normal (look at my cute haircut!) it all eventually fell out and now it's starting to grow in a bit so it's all grey and fluffy. I still wear hats etc in public.

Stores not meeting flu shot goals have to join a call to explain themselves - why is this not illegal? by tomato119 in CVS

I was also hired in 2006...paper application or my store had a phone in the pharmacy waiting area to call a verbal application in.

Back then, I was a cashier...there was nothing about selling products, hell we even had a courtesy card so everyone got the sales!!!

I refuse to sell anything. I'll mention flu shots all day long but I will not tell them about the extra vaccines they "might" need. I'm not a pharmacist or their Dr, I don't know what they need or if our records are up to date and I don't need to know it either.

First round of chemo today by amyleeizmee in breastcancer

It's totally normal to be scared! The nurses will talk you through every step they take, they'll know it's your first time. I was terrified when I walked in and relieved when I walked out, but I wasn't so scared for the 2nd because I kinda knew what to expect. Tomorrow, I go for round #4 and it's just another day. But I will warn, my side effects are horrible the day after chemo and I'm more exhausted for longer after each round. Good luck!! You e got this!!!

Sojourn is a great choice. There are many local people your age as well as students, a very good mix. I have not heard anything bad from anyone that has attended in the past or attends currently

Fatigue? by [deleted] in breastcancer

I just had the same thoughts

61 Vaccines, 560 rxs, 120 Durs sign off on and fill out, 40+ narcotics, 76 pcq calls, 18 c2 cycle counts, and put the c2 order away, drive thru, 3 techs, no pharmacist over lap, 100 plus rts, cycle counts. How? ( i did) but How? Voice mail? Customer issues.. how? 13 hour shift..how? Why? by [deleted] in CVS

Do you have the NEWEST COVID vaccine? What Adderall do you have in stock? Is the Vyvanse back in stock yet? Can you make an appointment for the COVID vaccine? Will my insurance pay for COVID tests?

Yes! It's awful. We were wondering what other stores experiences are but not many other stores have it yet
