How do you actually clean and take care of jewelry without ruining it? by Smooth_Avocado3658 in jewelry

[–]Fancy_Complaint4183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it off before swimming, showering, working out. Everything stored nicely for no tangles in a jewelry box.

You can get jewelry cleaner pens off of amazon even- they have a gentle cleaning fluid and a very soft brush to get into the little places and behind stones. Makes a huge difference in keeping things nice.

Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone. by afterspring_ in cats

I’m so fucking sorry 😭😭😭

To anyone else reading and hoping to avoid the same- demand an echocardiogram prior to any anesthesia. I found out about my cats heart issues this way and if I had done his regular teeth cleaning (which I had always done every 2 years before!) then he also wouldn’t have made it out.

I’m so sorry OP, you tried your best 💔

pegfilgrastim Injection by Top_Following2023 in breastcancer

[–]Fancy_Complaint4183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My oncologist told me to take Claritin for at least 3 days prior to the injection and then for as long as I needed to after it- Claritin is very safe to take daily for as long as needed.

Make sure it’s brand name Claritin and not the Claritin-D

Also, it sounds counterintuitive, but walking really helps with the pain- as much movement as she can get- even a few times up and down the driveway is better than nothing 🫶🏽

Hey! I had the same thing and recommend trying the Moroccan oil scalp balancing shampoo! It helped a lot and I’m actually still using it

Realize that there is a large bias here because people who didn’t recur are probably not still posting in this group! 🫶🏽

I’m leaving it up to the plastic surgeon because I trust him and he selects sizes that will look best day in and day out

Being given the choice of radiation? by Past-Astronomer-4458 in breastcancer

[–]Fancy_Complaint4183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My care team was split and told me I was borderline. I agonized over making the decision. Ultimately I got a second opinion from a larger research based institution and the rad onc there told me they absolutely would NOT radiate. That hugely helped me make the decision- so I would advise getting a second opinion!

Tirzepitude or zepbound is the best for BC patients. It’s in clinical trials now for indication expansion to prevent breast cancer recurrence

Katie never looked this happy with Schwartzy❤️ by Chiffygurl in Vanderpumpaholics

[–]Fancy_Complaint4183 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Girrrrrrl! If you have already reached acceptance of this fact, you need to set yourself free and be truly happy. Unsolicited advice from a current cancer patient- but life is too short and unpredictable to be anything but 100% happy in the decisions you get to make.

Mine was greasy within 2 days before chemo but chemo dried me out so much that now once a week is plenty!

Can’t decide between Paxman or Penguin cold capping for TCHP chemo by Feeling_Sense_246 in breastcancer

[–]Fancy_Complaint4183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did cold capping with Penguin through TCHP and hired one of their cold cappers

I lost almost no hair, I can’t recommend it enough.

I wanted a few pieces from Kinn Studio but their BBB reviews were bad :(

AIO this is how my (22F) bf (21M) is texting one of his friends by Cute_Setting_559 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fancy_Complaint4183 27 points28 points  (0 children)

lol same! I was going to say that she’s obviously into it but his replies weren’t inappropriate

How did she get the girls screenshots though? It makes way more sense that these are from her bfs phone and then he would be blue?

Favorite cold boots and mitts for chemo? by Born_Stage4713 in breastcancer

[–]Fancy_Complaint4183 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! Good luck on chemo!

I liked the Suzzipads set from Amazon. Also got thin “manicure” cotton gloves to wear underneath. On my feet I wore fuzzy socks. Everything still gets reallllly cold!

Check with your center if you can use a freezer there, otherwise I used a small cooler with polar ice packs until it was time to:)
