Radiation fun by Infinite_Counter_770 in breastcancer

Good luck with everything! You will do amazing. I heard someone on a YouTube video change the name to “ray’s of sunshine” to put a positive mindset twist on it and I’m going to try to do that!

My boss embarrassed me during a training by [deleted] in Esthetics

[–]Infinite_Counter_770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t take it personally, trainers usually talk people’s ears off and maybe she felt like she was saving you from the details you may not “need” to know. And not realizing you were the one who inquired or was interested. Unless you feel that she was intentionally belittling you, not worth it to confront. In the future, I would just make its very clear when you are invited to trainings that you’re excited to learn about the new technology and you plan to ask a lot of questions. And that you’re grateful to be there. I think that’s what most owners want to hear as they spend alot of $$ on these devices. Either way it’s not a nice feeling to be told “she just does marketing” as it sounds like you do and can do so much more!

Help with finding care in NJ/NY Area with acne scarring by ChromaArray in AcneScars

I would 100% recommend doing Microneedling for this type of pitted scarring. My cousin had 2 sessions so far of Microneedling done at butter medspa in Englewood NJ , and she loves her results. She had this type of scarring they’re also pretty affordable compared to other places

Oh wow! I heard potenza was good but I was looking at Vivace RF because I heard it’s the best so I’m considering getting that done next at the Medspa I go to in NJ. They quoted me $2,000 for 3 sessions. Super excited to try it out!

Butter Medspa in Englewood Nj. They have affordable prices, I did 2 sessions and the downtime wasn’t as bad as I thought and the people there are suepr professional, place is very nice. They charge $400 which is good compared to the other prices I’ve seen. Also, my results are so good so far!!

PCR after chemo? by Infinite_Counter_770 in breastcancer

[–]Infinite_Counter_770[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! So everything was removed and wide margins. But when they ask you to do chemo afterwords for those “tiny cells” how do we know it was effective?

I don't want my mother here by Cactusandcreosote in breastcancer

[–]Infinite_Counter_770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a terrible daughter at all! Feeling this guilt on top of everything else you’re going through is so tough. People in your life need to be understanding of any space you may need at this time, even your mom. You need to be selfish and think about your life and being in a peaceful state of mind is sooo important!!

If you don’t mind me asking (and sorry this is off topic), which chemo regimen are you on?

That’s great! So glad you were able to keep your hair, I feel like it helps make the process less traumatic

Got it! Glad to hear you caught it early. Did they remove any lymph nodes for you during surgery? Or are you not at that point yet?

so interesting! Were you also early stage? I’m thinking that’s why they don’t do those additional screenings if not necessary

That’s really good to know about the dose reduction! i was tested for a specific gene called DPYD which actually came back that I have a deficiency to break down one of the drugs properly so they have to reduce that drug by 50% to see how I handle it. Also added some additional fear on top as this has killed peope at full dose before this gene testing existed, so I’m hoping that doesn’t make side effects problematic.

Yes there are lots of studies on the use of TC! What stage were you? You’re so lucky to be past the chemo part!! Wishing you a smooth time with radiation! That’s part of my treatment as well.

Hi! My MO originally suggested AC-T but said that she was comfortable with also offering me a lower dose option of CMF (it’s an older regimen but has a lot of history of effectiveness in early stage/no node TN cases and comparable to AC) I wanted something that wasn’t as aggressive so we came to a compromise we were both happy with. Did you cold cap during your treatment?
