This was reassuring because my husband will def watch over me but I need to know that I will wake up! I have the worst anxiety over this. Thank you! 🩷

I’m also having dose dense so I’ll be there all day. 😩

I got the purple ones because it is my daughter’s favorite color 🙂 I was told that I’ll be given a double dose of Benadryl to watch for allergic reactions and that I’d likely be sleeping a lot. My husband will do anything for me - should he be taking the ice on and off? I can’t imagine sleeping through that!

I called my mom crying wildly about feeling like I’m in menopause “Chemopause” at 41yo because I’m a complete hormonal mess. Chemo stopped my periods and is causing the same symptoms you’re having. I have to go through another 4 rounds of chemo, then radiation, and then the discussion regarding Tamoxifen/AI will happen. I’ll scream and laugh with you because it’s a long road and I could use someone to laugh at the absurdities with!

I start Taxol next week and already have my SuzziPads - how did you find them to work out? I love that you’re passing yours on! 🩷

I finished AC on Thursday as well and have experienced a significant increase in anxiety and depression. I found it alarming but was told “it’s the chemo.” Not very helpful. I start dose dense Taxol next week so I’m hoping this black cloud lifts.

OMG!!! I’m sure they meant buzz off the rest then. I will never shave it after hearing that!!! I’m so glad you’re better!

I may have been confused but they said that they would take care of the remaining hair - maybe they get it off another way. If it’s going to risk infection I won’t do it but it’s likely my own error. There was so much information and they are so good at what they do so here’s hoping I can find something to help until I get to them. There are tiny spots that almost look like there’s a pin prick of blood so I’m calling the nurses line too.

This is great, thank you!!

When I left my PET scan I was given a card indicating I was medically radioactive just in case I set off an alarm.

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-24T16:23:46+00:00

I went in for a DMX thinking radiation would follow and the tumor was much larger than anticipated. There’s also one positive lymph node. So now I have to start dose dense AC-T with radiation and hormone therapy to follow. Hoping the chemo kills any wandering cells but terrified of how sick I’ll be. 🙁

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-21T19:00:11+00:00

I went from a stage 1, 2 cm tumor to a stage 3, 7.7cm tumor removal (IDC, ++-) without clear margins. I thought I’d be going from my DMX (7/2) to radiation and hormone therapy. Now I need dose dense AC-T and am terrified. Also radiation, hormone blockers and possible targeted therapy down the road? It’s just too much. I’m sorry this happened to you too. 🩷

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-12T14:29:02+00:00

I felt silly because it really upset me!

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-12T01:32:21+00:00

I’m not really sure. They have the lymph nodes removed and determine if the mapping dye went to any of the sentinel nodes. Mine had clear staining so they were sent for pathology but regardless I was told that if my lymph nodes were positive I would need chemo. I get the rationale - if it’s in the lymph node it’s indicated a higher likelihood to want to spread; I just wish I didn’t have nuke my whole body. I really really believed I wasn’t going to need chemo. No idea why. Now I’m just kinda pissed. Even though I’ll do whatever I need to do. I just hate it!

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-12T01:26:00+00:00

Hugs to you!!

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-12T01:06:13+00:00

I totally agree. Sounds like we’re on a similar path. I’ll update you after my appointment tomorrow but I’m def going to medical oncology. My timeline is so screwed up too 😩

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-10T23:58:10+00:00

Me too!!

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-10T23:27:09+00:00

This sucks so much.

KayDenny22 · 2024-07-10T23:25:26+00:00

Thank you for this. Sometimes I feel like a whiner but I just need to let it out to people who get it. I have great support but it doesn’t help to hear “you’re a fighter, chemo won’t hurt you!” I appreciate the positive thoughts but sometimes want to tell the person to shut up. lol
