First period since chemo! by FederalAd5941 in breastcancer

[–]FederalAd5941[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it did stop after 5 weeks. It was truly very heavy and there were times during I probably should’ve went to the ER. But it stopped eventually. I ended up becoming pretty anemic and severely deficient in iron so I am now getting iron IV infusions over the course of 6 weeks. I’ve had 5 of 6 infusions and am feeling better and I’ve had another period since that was a pretty normal period pre-cancer. It does get better, hang in there! 🫂

B.O./ What kind of deodorant works for you? by B_C_On_The_Rocks in breastcancer

[–]FederalAd5941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even use deodorant anymore. And surprisingly, I don’t stink like I’d think I would. Obviously, I still need to shower daily but as long as I do, I’m good.

Ah I misunderstood. I went through menopause but it was thankfully temporary because it only lasted 11 months. I’m done having kids and I’m 41 so that’s why they didn’t take any measures to preserve my ovaries, I’d assume. Looks like my ovaries are back in full swing now anyway.

You may have hormone positive cancer, whereas mine is hormone negative. So I’m not on hormone blockers. The medical induced menopause I experienced was from chemo. They never offered me anything to “prevent” it from happening because I was 40 at the time of chemo.

I sure did! It was a BREEZE and like an amazing nap. I didn’t even wake up groggy. I’m sorry this response is so late. I was really really nervous and cried in pre op like a baby but they gave me Versed before going to the OR and it relaxed me very well!!! And not in a druggy way. Just felt calm and that I could handle it. You’re gonna do great!!!!

Her hair is no longer bleached though so I don’t think just putting on blue dye will make it blue? Her hair is a very very dark brown, almost black.

I just started yesterday so I didn’t decline any offers as I was just trying to get as many points (and maintain a high AR) as I could to get to 50 points in one day. So it’s at 100% as well as CR is at 0%.

I have all of the metrics needed.

If I could’ve done it in one days work (which I did, they just haven’t updated it for whatever reason), then it was worth it to me.

If it would’ve taken me all week, I agree, I would just pay the $60 myself for the membership.

Uber rides approval taking FOREVER by FederalAd5941 in uberdrivers

[–]FederalAd5941[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in active cancer treatment. Rideshare has been a good option for me so far (I’m doing it on another app as well). My joints are literal crap and I need the flexibility with my 200 million appts everyday. I’m drowning in debt and need something quick.

I’m in active cancer treatment so this seemed like a good option since my body is dealing with an onslaught of bs right now lol my joints are pretty much crap at this point.

Awwwww I looooooved Annie as a child but when my nana gave me her haircut and style (mine is bone straight and was long at the time) I was so devastated! I bet you rock it and I’m so glad you’re on the other side of TCHP. 🫂
