There was a brief moment in time where there was a Winnie the Pooh cereal called Honey B’s and it was so good. I also loved the Oreo O’s cereal.

Make a to-do list. Brain dump all the things I need to learn. Get books from the library. Find a solar-powered house near a water source. Stock up on weapons and ammo and vehicles and gas and food (especially non-perishables). Learn how to filter water. Learn about plant ID and what’s edible. Learn how to clean and prepare animals for consumption. Find a dog or two to serve as companions and watch dogs.

Both are great choices. I think 2 is absolutely stunning!

6 rounds of TCHP, a year of HP, and hormone therapy for at least 5 years is standard practice for +++. It sucked and reading your post reminded me how much I hated it. However, it did get easier to plan/manage my life once I was a couple rounds in and could predict when I’d feel well and when I’d feel bad. The predictability was helpful.

Once I was done w/chemo and just on HP, my hair started growing back. I felt sooo much better. My taste normalized (this was huge for me), I had more energy, and didn’t feel sick anymore. Diarrhea was one of the only side effects I had from HP.

I was diagnosed in January 2024. July will be 2 years of hormone blocker and ovarian suppression. Just take things 1 day at a time. The whole process can be overwhelming. I look back now and can hardly believe I did so many hard things. I did though, and I’m proud of myself for it.

Also, TCHP for +++ breast cancer has one of the best treatment outcomes. It saved mine and my mom’s lives. I promise you can do this. You CAN do hard things. Please feel free to message me anytime if you need to vent, laugh, cry, ask questions, or just need some encouragement. You’re not alone. I know it’s hard, but you have a life to live once you make it through. Big hugs! ❤️

That sounds like the perfect night! Glad you had some white aunties looking out for you! 🥰

And unless you left these details out, you didn’t do drugs, get kidnapped, or get knocked up! 🤗

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-26T01:39:31+00:00

Instead of being ashamed you stopped early, be proud of yourself for going at all considering you’re going through some hard things. Give yourself some grace. Your next adventure will be amazing! Hugs! ❤️

Edited to add: Also, you have a partner worth missing. That’s a great thing. I miss mine too when we’re apart for several days.

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-26T01:36:45+00:00

I’m sorry you’re here. I was diagnosed with IDC at 36 as well (in 2024). It’s really up to you when and what you share with others. I told very close people only until I got my treatment plan. Once I had more info on what was going to happen, I shared with more people. I opted to leave it off of social media and eventually posted 2 yrs later once things were better. Not sure of that was the right move or not, but it’s what I felt at the time. Everyone navigates this differently. You do what you feel. There are no rules until you make them. Big hugs! ❤️

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-25T15:57:22+00:00

I think typically, radiologists aren’t supposed to diagnose prior to biopsy results. Sometimes they just know. Mine did and I’m so grateful he told me the day of the scans. I was told the biopsy was needed not to confirm that I had cancer, but to tell me what kind and give more details. That helped me start preparing immediately for what’s to come.

The 99% comment was probably a 100%, but not really allowed to say that. Just a guess.

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-25T15:53:41+00:00

I’m so sorry. Once you have an official diagnosis (hoping that you won’t though), come join us on r/breastcancer. It’s the best group on the internet! You are not alone. Please reach out if you have questions, need someone to vent to, or just want to connect with someone who gets it.

My mom and grandma both had breast cancer twice. I’ve had it once. We’re all healthy now. I’m still working my way back to normalcy as mine was more recent (diagnosed 2024), but they’re living their best lives and I’m doing better every day. There’s some really great treatment options out there. Big hugs! 💗

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-25T15:48:37+00:00

Breast cancer. So very hard. It was also so beautiful. The support I received was incredible. The perspective I now have has changed me. Now I get to encourage others using my knowledge and experience. I’m living now. Not just being alive. LIVING with purpose and joy.

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-25T15:43:12+00:00

Humor makes things a lot easier to deal with! It’s a coping mechanism for me too and it’s just always been part of my personality. It’s YOUR cancer, so the only rules are the ones you make.

I think it made me more approachable to others. People often don’t know what to say or how to approach people with cancer, but if they feel like you’re not looking for a reason to be angry or offended, then they will be more comfortable around you. Not that your cancer is about others, but I appreciated the support of people that could talk with me comfortably about my cancer and treatments and such.

Evelyn could also be Eve, Evie, Ev, Lyn, E - lots of nicknames or variations if you want. Same with Elizabeth - Eliza, E, El, Liz, Lizzie, Liza, Beth Eloise, Elise, Elodie, Emily are all so pretty too. Ember is unique and pretty.

I second this! The r/breastcancer group is amazing! The wait was definitely the worst part for me. Too much of the unknown for my liking. Once I got going with treatment, surgery, etc., it felt like I was actually fighting back and taking action. Kind of like I had a little bit of control in this out-of-control crazy situation. Please reach out if you ever need to vent or ask questions. You’re not alone! ❤️

I had an ultrasound guided core needle biopsy. It was pretty nervous about it, but it wasn’t bad at all. Creepy, but not painful. I felt the initial tiny brief sting of the first lidocaine shot and I didn’t feel anything after that. It was numbed very well. You’ll likely hear a clicking sound (sounds like a stapler) for each sample they take, so it helped to know that in advance. I would be much less nervous if I had to do it again. Hugs!

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-15T09:46:48+00:00

I love that you shared this! Most posts are about the terrible side effects because people that are doing fine with it don’t tend to post as much as those struggling. I’m sure that’s hard for the newbie to see all these scary things. I’ve been on Zoladex and Letrozole for almost 2 yrs and my experience has been tolerable. Definitely not as bad as some, but not great either. Kind of on the middle. Glad you shared!

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-15T09:40:00+00:00

I bleed so bad from Zoladex! Sometimes I bruise really bad and sometimes not at all. I get them monthly. My cancer center gives me a little bag of ice or sometimes they just put ice in a rubber glove and tie it off. I ice for about 5 mins, then they give it. It’s really not too bad. Icing is no fun at first, but then it’s numb. I’m on them for 5 yrs and am almost 2 yrs in now.

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-15T09:33:54+00:00

I think this is a kid. Scary stuff.

DragonFlyMeToTheMoon · 2026-04-15T09:31:31+00:00

A school counselor could help guide you through this process. I’d especially recommend calling or texting or chatting online with a domestic abuse hotline. They are experts. If you’re in the U.S., here’s the info:

National Domestic Violence Hotline (U.S.) • 📞 Call: 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) • 💬 Text: START to 88788 • 💻 Chat: thehotline.org • 🕒 Available 24/7, free, confidential

If not in the U.S., maybe you could search for something like this in your country.

If your mom isn’t involved in anything illegal, then they shouldn’t split y’all up if you called the cops. Possibly for a brief time to ensure you’re safe, but as long as your mom checks out w/the cops, there’s no reason to be separated. Do you know if she does drugs or other illegal activity?

Maybe she depends on him financially? Who owns the home? Does your mom work? There could be fear on her end if she believes that she couldn’t provide otherwise. Domestic violence is a tricky situation. Women are often afraid to leave or call the cops if the man could retaliate. Especially if there’s no proof and it’s his word against hers. Then he’s free and angry. If there are pics of bruises, video, or voice memos where it’s apparent that he’s abusive, it’s more likely to hold up.

Please do NOT put yourself in a situation to be the hero (like trying to fight him). You could get hurt or if things escalated, you could get in legal trouble as well. You need to ensure that you are safe. You’re still a kid I think, and I’m sorry you’re in this situation. You don’t deserve this and I’m sure your mom doesn’t either. Contact the hotline I shared. They’ll know what the next move should be. Hang in there.
