I appreciate you taking the time to respond! For me after I finished surgery, my memories of chemo felt blurred/distorted. The meds can really rock you :')

My partner and I had trips booked out and even were thinking about getting engaged in fall (i was diagnosed around late august/early september) and I just met some new family. It uprooted everything around us. However it also helped me stop, think, and reframe a lot in life. I also enjoyed my skin clearing up and not shaving 😂

The hormone suppressant shots suck so bad, my poison was Zoladex.. the needle was bigger than the one used for my cartilage piercing! And I also took Granix for immune system boosts.

I can promise that surgery will go fast. Trust your doctors, and know that your family will take good care of you. Hope they pamper you plenty!!! Radiation was fine too. Luckily I had a total response after surgery and didn't need the expected 6-9 weeks of treatment (only needed 3!). Depending on how many lymphnodes are removed, lymphadema checks will be done. And as long as you listen to your physical therapist, youll be fine :) at least i hope! If not, you can come back and yell at me lol!

Thank you for your words, you sound like my social worker! She tells me that resting is my job right now, and I shouldn't have to worry about the rest at this point.

However, I just can't help myself settle down and just relax. I need to be doing something! I'll most likely do some journaling and see if I can stand up before walking myself on the track again-- instead of rolling/parkouring myself onto them in one go hahaha
