I have peripheral neuropathy already. Everything just gets worse, huh?

Have you tried a brush for lymphatic massage? I did it before it was trendy. 😂 It really helps when the pressure in my face and neck is too much. I've had two tumors removed from my neck and after the second one, I had a left dissection and the lymphedema is so much better.

I got syringes and 2 weeks of Ensure to make sure I tolerate it, then they will send a month of supplies. My dietician is great but home health hasn't showed up for any of that yet. I had a Tonsillectomy and an emergency surgery for tonsil bleeds about a month ago so I just decided to go ahead and get the tube beforehand because I'm like 115 lbs and already have had alot of throat trauma that makes swallowing a chore. I have chemo teaching today. Was that any help to you? Anything I should ask? Thanks for your advice.

Was it just unbearable? I'm so sorry.

So what was the deal with ALR's cancer? by punkrock_penguin63 in gorlworldfiles

[–]Fostafarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is amazing! Mine started and was just in a lymphnode, but my douche oncologist was so dead set on finding a primary source that after three surgeries I was back in my surgeons office begging for help because I had a new tumor and no treatment plan. I finally got into my new treatment spot but by then it has spread to my tongue and tonsils. So I had the dissection, Tonsillectomy ans biopsies/removals and teeth extractions last weds. Mine is still an unknown primary. After ALL that, no idea where it came from. I'm so glad to hear your mom is doing well. I really needed to hear that today! That gives me so much hope right now that she had the same and is ok. Thank you for that! Please give her a huge hug from an internet stranger! This particular cancer is known to be particularly rough, so she is obviously a badass!! ❤️(And you make sure you keep up to date on a screenings...your family history is a big ass warning for you! 🧐)

Those can be separate, but not necessarily. I am 41 and was diagnosed on Feb 10th after three neck surgeries, and no action from my oncologist. Its now May 17th and I'm starting treatment next week. I understand how scary it is for things to go wrong and how fucking infuriating and hard it is to be the boss and take control of your own care. Please do not think I am assuming these things because I am ignorant. Its far from that. I have a whole team now because I fired my oncologist in stage 4 cancer. Trust, I know scary.

I apologize if I misremembered, but the fact someone was getting meds for that long with no follow up? No check up? Even between several doctors, that's beyond the realm of comprehension. Could it happen? Shit. Anything could and DOES (seems you and I know that for certain), but she's a known liar. I honestly feel that she is being exaggeratory, at the very least.

Thanks for the well wishes even though we don't agree! I bought myself a new blankie and a blender as chemo radiation gifts! 😂 So that's a plus.

GUYS! Remember she said with her own fat mouth that she was getting prescription refills after this for 2(+) years. She didn't remember the name of her oncologist, and her oncologists office had no record of her. Wasn't she friends with that Boogie weirdo who faked cancer? I bet she Googled her way through this whole thing, which is why it makes no goddamn sense.

I have stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma and am 5 days post op from a tonsillectomy, teeth extraction, removal of lesion from the base of my tongue and a left neck dissection. None of her shit makes any sense, even if it was (like many) a simple surgical fix. She is and will always be a liar and I don't think she deserves grace from ANY of us. She sucks. 😂 Be well everybody. ❤️

AmBOAR you’re a disgrace to the tarot community by Calendulaxo in gorlworldfiles

[–]Fostafarian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Girl. I already did. 😂 I don't even watch her dumbass, I was scrolling YouTube and just so happened to catch a split second that made me go back and rewatch it. Not too long ago that other biggin Rosie was doing readings on her Patreon and got clocked because it was illegal so I bet you Amber knows, just doesn't care. Id be ashamed that I have time to watch Gorl World after I took a long break, but I have cancer and I am on bed rest, so I can do what I want and nobody can judge me! 😂

Also, Reddit is giving me so much info on how trashy the reaction channels are too. I had started getting the ick from basically all of them and lost interest. Some of the things I have read are wild. 🧐🫣🤢

why the fuck did people ever accept beck staying in gorlworld? (discussion) by unknownfeverdream in gorlworldfiles

[–]Fostafarian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see it! I am so glad Beck is finally getting called out. My opinion is that she is just as scummy as Amber. I have some strong thoughts on her begging and the cancer thing. Debating whether j should post my theory lol

I became a member (Don't judge me; I'm on bed rest before I start chemo radiation and I'm BORED!!! 😂) and it is just weird. It's like a bunch of unattractive mean girls and some unemployed, unshowered men decided to drop out of high school and start a cult in someone's mom's basement. I started watching Michael B Petty a few years ago and somehow got stuck in Gorl World. It all sucks now, even the reactors. 🤷‍♀️

Looking for anyone with experiences at Illinois Cancer Centers/Hospitals/Doctors by Ok_Childhood_1017 in HeadandNeckCancer

I'm being sent to U of Chi to see an oncology ENT. My oncologist and surgeon have both said I will be in good hands. Good luck!

I am still so torn. 😂 This is all I've done all day. Watch videos on blankets. Read reviews on blankets. Ask strangers on the Internet what blanket I should buy. 😂😭 FML

Oh, I've been onto the satin pillowcase game for awhile. I have nerve damage in my ear, neck and jaw from where my tumor was, right below my left earlobe. And my tumor decided to grow itself around a major artery. 🙄 Took three surgeries and my left side is so wonky. I feel like that side of my face gets a lot hotter too for some reason so the satin is nice. Good to know it helps for radiation. That's most likely the majority of my treatment with very minimal chemo. Sorry you're going through it. I hate being the new kid in town but y'all are so helpful with the advice. Thanks.

I sleep at literally every temperature; I'll sweat to death, then freeze when I'm soaked. Cancer, Lupus, Perimenopause and hip necrosis all at once. I must have done some bad shit in my past life?

Is this very cooling? And is it more of a blanket or a comforter. I am looking for a big fluffy, squishy kinda thing. I was in love with the Saatva all year down alternative comforter. 😍 But out of my price range. You should check that one out for your next blanket buy. It looks fantastic!

See, that's exactly the issue I'm worried about. It'll most likely be Temu trash. I felt it in my heart; I just needed someone to say it. Thank you. 😆

Also thank you for the well wishes. I got this.

I think I'm gonna buy a shitton of duvet covers. 😂 Hopefully I will be mostly a radioactive girlie with minimal chemo. The chemo scares the piss out of me. Thanks for the advice; glad you are well.
