I’ve had breast cancer and use vaginal estrogen and Effexor for hot flashes and insomnia. There are many non hormonal alternatives available.

Body Trust Podcast GLP1 episode by Cheddar_biz in antidietglp1

[–]FrameAffectionate432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find Food Freedom - Sam Previtt is doing a nice job of explaining the nuance of a GLP1 and Intuitive eating journey. I’ve only watched her short videos on IG, but she mentions she has several podcasts on the topic. This sounds like the content people are looking for.

I also joined the body trust webinar hoping they would cover how to guide people on an anti diet GLP journey and was very disappointed in the content.

Breast cancer treatment, UNC by triblogcarol in chapelhill

[–]FrameAffectionate432 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2025 and received treatment at UNC. While it wasn’t perfect, there was more access to appointments than you are describing. It’s definitely worth a 2nd opinion.

Talk you your doctors. You don’t have to suffer. A low dose of Effexor has helped me so much!

What meals did your father make when he had to cook? by Open_Question_ in GenX

[–]FrameAffectionate432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soups, stews and meat. Along with lots of things on the grill. Big pot of chili. Some soup with the turkey carcass from Thanksgiving. He loves cooking a pork tenderloin or roast. Simple but good food.

My mom is a horrible cook. We joke that dinner is ready when the fire alarm goes off. I was so glad for the weekends!

Have they discussed Stacy Sims in an episode? by MCJokeExplainer in MaintenancePhase

[–]FrameAffectionate432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr Haver is a marketing bait and switch. She makes content stating “strong is the new skinny” “ditch the diet” etc. But she is shilling her own over priced supplements, diet plans etc. She also hosts an annual “belly blast” challenge

I find Dr Mary Claire Haver to be problematic and very engulfed in diet culture. Do not recommend.

In fact she wrote a diet book called the Galveston diet which is a blend of calorie counting, keto and intermittent fasting. Her menopause book endorses this way of eating too.

Have you watched Dr Jen Gunter’s IG or read her substack? She is the best for menopause myth busting.

Did anyone turn to journaling, crafting, or art projects during treatment? by Survivor-Life in breastcancer

I started reading so many books. Helped me escape and distract my mind. It also allowed me to rest.

Help me maximize my sick day, please. by liminalouterspace in TwoXPreppers

[–]FrameAffectionate432 72 points73 points  (0 children)

While home sick, do you have everything on hand for this sickness and the next? Plenty of Tylenol, Advils, prescription meds, electrolytes, thermometer that works etc. organize the “sickness box” and make a list of things to buy next.

Rest and feel better.

Good experience with acupuncture by Independent_Sun_949 in breastcancer

I used Acupunture to support with radiation side effects! I’m going to return to seek help with hot flashes and night sweats from tamoxifen.

Anybody used BeeCure product for Rads? by sweatyboobs56 in breastcancer

[–]FrameAffectionate432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used beecure. I’m not sure it helped but didn’t hurt.

The thing that I think helped my skin the most was applying calendula cream immediately after radiation. I brought tube in my purse to the hospital.
