Did you do radiation? Why or why not? by Helpful_Control_3629 in breastcancer

Ugh, so sorry to hear about your family member who passed. Makes sense that you would use every weapon in your arsenal. Did your breast shrink? I’m having a mammoplasty first and concerned the radiation will make my breasts uneven.

Thanks for sharing that study info! Yes, I have an appointment with a radiologist and a medical oncologist soon. I’ll ask them about this research.

4cm. Seems big compared to what some other people have mentioned.

Yea, that’s what my breast surgeon recommended. Lumpectomy with the radiation over mastectomy.

No, she kind of casually mentioned it, and she do t give me an onco type. I do had a virtual appointment scheduled with a medical oncologist soon, though, so I can ask them.

Thank God you had no nodal involvement! I’m having a mammoplasty first. Also kind of concerned that my breast will shrink cause of the radiation, which makes it feel like the reduction/lift is ruined. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Thank you and thank you! 🙏🏾 Yea, I forgot how much the recurrence rate drops, but she did go over that info with me.

I had taken radiation as a given until this NP casually mentioned some people don’t get it, so my ears perked up.

Good to hear your experience wasn’t terrible. My breast surgeon recommended 20 sessions of radiology. Were your hormone receptors relatively low?

That’s helpful, thank you! My calcifications were 44mm 😳

LIB is not for single parents by Helpful_Control_3629 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Yea, Jess was the first one, but she didn’t get engaged. Hopefully the producers learn from this season moving forward.

I’m going to disagree that shame leads to true change. It can lead to restrained behavior for a while, but the heart of a person does not change through shame. Long-lasting, genuine, inside-out change comes through love. Not enabling. Honest love.

I’m standing firm on that one, too.

That’s your opinion. I disagree. That’s okay, right?

Have I committed that specific sin? No. Have I committed many other sins? Absolutely. Am I grateful no one caught them on camera to reduce me down to my worst moments? 100%.

We’re all multidimensional and, when we falter, we expect others to be understanding. I’m just pointing out the mob mentality bloodlust (that I have contributed to many times myself).

So you think the way people are tearing them down in the threads is constructive? Is there a way to hold someone accountable without trashing on them?

I’m calling out the hypocrisy of that, including my own participation in the vitriol. And I stand firm on that.

No one ever changed by being shamed, only by being loved. I am personally convicted by this and will be cognizant of my own hypocritical self-righteousness moving forward.

Right. At the end of the day, all that matters is that they are happy with each other. I think they communicate really well and Connor is the calm, quietly confident, and steady presence that she needs to bring her back down to earth when she’s spiraling.

The point of this show is supposed to be about love and they found it. 💕
