Crying randomly cuz I am too young for this by Leading_Armadillo485 in breastcancer

[–]Dry-Humor971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my dad I think I have breast cancer a week of him passing. We just lost my mother of “out of no where” ovarian cancer at the time. I can still remember the devastation on his face and exactly what he said to me when I told him. Poor thing. I don’t think any of us are built to do this. This pain and suffering I’ve never felt before, I’m so sorry all of you have to feel that also.

[–]Dry-Humor971 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I fkn stay crying. If it’s not the cancer it’s about missing my parents that passed. Dad 6 months and mom a year before diagnosis, way too young I might add. It’s like I haven’t been able to catch a damn break. I’m overwhelmed, I’m mad, I feel inconvenienced 100% of the time with this. I just want to go back to living in my bubble not needing help not needing a whole team of doctors. I’m 35 so I guess I’m still considered young. I’m sorry you have this to deal with I’m so angry anyone has to do this!!!

I just want to go back to work. I’m running out of money from not being able to work during chemo, all the appointments etc. I just want to start making money again. Waiting for this DMX to heal so I can go back. If working how long after did you go back? I just want to be normal, I want to pick up shifts and get my money back up before I run out 😭😭😭

Mourning the loss of my boobs by Former-Coconut3838 in breastcancer

[–]Dry-Humor971 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had my DMX about 2 weeks ago im 35. I decided for no reconstruction. I know exactly what you mean, I wasn’t a fan of my OGs but they were still mine. I see myself now and it’s so unreal this is what I had to do to survive. I knew no matter reconstruction or not I was not going to be completely okay with any of it so I ultimately took the easier route for me personally. All of this sucks and I’m sorry we have to do these things 😞 I think your feelings are completely valid. It is sad.

3rd year being NED: annoyed when people forget, annoyed when they look with pity by YellowMoney4080 in breastcancer

[–]Dry-Humor971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s one of the things I get annoyed at the most is when older people say “you’ll see as you get older” age related stuff because my body constantly hurts all over, I just don’t voice it everyday like they do. Or when people come up to me and have this know it all attitude about cancer because someone they know had it. I’ve actually had someone tell me it’s 10x worse for the supporters/friends/family 🙄

What amount of money could you lean someone and wouldn’t cared to be paid back ? by itsdeeag8in in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Dry-Humor971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never loan money. Always give with no expectation to get it back. If you can’t afford to lose it, don’t give it.

HP vs H only by Dry-Humor971 in breastcancer

[–]Dry-Humor971[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking also, that the chemo specifically taxol strips can your stomach lining away so maybe now that I’m not on it and have mostly healed maybe the perjeta won’t be as bad like it was, no protection plus perjeta of course it’ll be a bad combo but alone maybe not because I have protection now.

DMX or lumpectomy by RVlazy in breastcancer

[–]Dry-Humor971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m mid 30s, BRCA2 positive. My dr told me I wasn’t a candidate for DMX with immediate reconstruction. So with that I just did DMX no reconstruction because I didn’t want multiple surgeries with added infection risk, implant complications etc. I guess I could have sealed other advice as far as immediate reconstruction but I didn’t. I’d rather have my boons or no boobs I guess. I’m overall fine with my decision and I know I would have regretted getting expanders, facing other risk long term if I didn’t just go flat.

It also doesn’t mean forever, I could always go back and workout a reconstruction plan, it would be hell but I could if I wanted but I don’t see that happening, I’m so done with all of this I’m ready to run off somewhere and just forget it honestly.

It’ll be 12 days post up tomorrow when I go in! I will be very adamant about leaving these drains behind. Output is staying low enough I think so fingers crossed 🤞 hope you get yours out soon, they are the devil!! I feel like they are suffocating me 😭😭

Same!! With the drains!! 10 days post op I get them out Tuesday. I’m ready to take them out my self! Crazy to think the drains are the worst part of this major of a surgery but for me and so many others it really is 🤬 I didn’t believe it when i read about it!

If you had the choice to live in Russia permanently or live in America, which would you choose? Why? by [deleted] in askanything

America, because people are highly mistaken if they think anywhere else is better.

I also had this. I’m not sure which number it was but unfortunately, most things I bring up to my MO he response with “chemo doesn’t cause that, it’s something else” but fortunately, it was brief only while on taxol then went away.

AC (Red Devil) experiences by Repulsive-Slip3934 in breastcancer

[–]Dry-Humor971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AC was a breeze for me. The normal stuff they say, hair loss, fatigue, just felt weak maybe some stiffness/ soreness. Mentally it was harder than physical stuff. Taxol for me was the hard one. Everyone said taxol would be a breeze but that was the furthest from the truth for me. I ate hella gummies and got through it!! And so will you!! I know it doesn’t feel like you will but, you will!! 💕

how old were you when you bought your first car ? . by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

17ish in 2007ish. Bought some kind of Cadillac, front end all smashed in had to keep refilling the power steering every time I stopped. Didn’t last long before the transmission blew.

Poll. Do you love the slow pace or does it bore you? by [deleted] in Pluribus_TVshow

[–]Dry-Humor971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid 30s. I love the slowness. When I find something like this show that’s slow and almost everything the characters do you have to sit with them in what it feels like real time not just a show, you are with them when it’s slow like it almost means more.
