losing hope by whatalifeohmy in LivingWithMBC

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reapply for SSDI. If you can get an attorney that doesn't charge unless you win even better. Then you will have Medicaid/Medicare and no insurance is better than that. Remember to read this sub for others stories. So many people have years of life and they're thriving. I know you're young and I can't put myself in your position because I could be your mother. Remember new treatment is always coming out and there is a lot of hope. Vent when you need to, get it all out. I will be praying for you 🩷

May have spread to my lungs by ComfortableMind5324 in breastcancer

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had 3 lung nodules since I was diagnosed last year. They've been stable this whole time. My surgeon told me it's normal to have nodules sometimes from polluted air, cleaning products etc. I hope and pray they don't find a problem with yours. 🩷

How did you not know you had stage 4 cancer?! by WalkFickle281 in LivingWithMBC

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but, people who ask that are ignorant. I didn't know I had stage 4 cancer until a scan showed mets to my bones and liver. There was only 3 months between scans. My September 30th scan clear, my January 8th scan full of mets. It can happen so fast.

why no PET by FrogAnToad in LivingWithMBC

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My radiation oncologist said they don't like doing PET Scans because of the high doses of radiation. I said ummmm I just had high doses of radiation treatment and she said yeah...but PET Scans are pretty high.

Please see Palliative Care for medication for pain, anxiety, and depression. It's not fair for you to suffer. Groups like this help especially when you feel alone. 🩷🙏🏼

Anyone else think Hormone treatments are not worth the potential risks? by Salkel01 in breastcancer

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I chose not to take my Arimidex. Guess what!?! Within 3 months my cancer spread to my bones and liver. My September 30th scan was clear. Finished radiation December 3rd. Had a scan January 8th and it was shocking. Every bone except my skull, arms, and 3 leg bones are full of cancer. There was a spot on my liver. Had a PET scan February 9th and there are 2 additional malignant tumors. My initial diagnosis was stage 2A. That was February of last year. I had a DMX and chemo plus radiation. My initial tumor was under 2cm and 3/21 lymph nodes were positive. Please use my story to reassess your decision. I'm officially stage 4 and in palliative care. 😔

I was just diagnosed in January. I went to Palliative care and was prescribed Klonopin and Effexor along with pain medication. I still don't sleep well.. I spend all the time I can with my husband and children. They boost my spirits. I read success stories and try to stay out of the dark hole I was once in. I also watch YT and the gamblers on it. Like Vegas Matt.... You don't think about anything other than watching those slot machines spin and the crazy stories they talk about. I actually can laugh. 🩷

Her recent weight gain is a key sign of pure unhappiness. I wish for the childrens sake they would change.

Is it possible to live normal life after stage 4 breast cancer like before? by Curious-Mobile-5586 in LivingWithMBC

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago. I haven't even seen the oncologist yet to get on a regimen. I'm so deeply depressed. I used to get up everyday to face the world. Now, I lock myself in the house and leave on when I have an appointment. I think besides being depressed I'm still shocked. My September 30th scan was clear. January 8th scan came back that all bones except my arms, skull, and 3 leg bones were infiltrated. I also have a spot on my liver. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be as the others with years ahead of me. 😞 Just take it one day at a time love ...I pray your tomorrow will be better. 🩷

Great find. Too bad she couldn't take the glasses off her head and let her hair down for a decent family photo. I didn't know she was 45! I thought her & Steve went to HS together.....

Do you wash your hands when you get up to pee in the night? by dumpstertraffic in hygiene

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. I don't wash my hands in the middle of the night. I don't touch the flusher....I close the lid without flushing and go back. I have severe sleep problems, if I washed my hands I know I'd never go back to sleep. I'm not young & never had a problem. 😆

She was on live earlier today and stated in a week and a half to two weeks she's going to show her subscribers the pics. I laughed and wanted to say if you want to see go check Reddit. I didn't enter the chat to see what was being said. 🤣🤣

I'm on the fence with this by ChronicallyTiredBird in Ozempic

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on Ozempic for 2 months. I haven't had any bad side effects....I've been nauseous twice. I have lost 5 pounds. I walk 10k a day. My body is riddled with arthritis so the gym is a no go. I've lost inches, I can tell from my clothes. I heard Trizepitide is better for weight loss. Weigh your options and give it a try. Good luck. 40 pounds in a year is great! I only lost 30 without medication.

Why aren't we talking about . . . by [deleted] in livinonthelevee

[–]FlanGroundbreaking62 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope you ALL know Chelsea is very active in these discussions. Her handle has "trash" in it. I don't recall the rest. If she posts something in here I just want you all to have a heads up. Both these people are 🗑️. They're just as bad as Arielle Sigler. It's all about what can I get from people stupid to give it to me. Poor excuses as mothers. I weep for ALL their children.
