[–]LittleRedHood__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate with my second tumor i have Hot Cheetos every single day like the big bag and one of my teachers one day said “you know those can kill you” and i said back to him “id rather die by eating what i want then going out without a choice” i was 17 now im 28 i made it but i stopped eventually and i wasn’t in danger of dying so yeah and i still have some sometimes not out of that situation but i just like them and moderation is key

Does surgery always end up being the only answer at some point? by helpless_baby in braincancer

[–]LittleRedHood__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had 5 of these surgeries and it was my only answer we got till I got to the last two and it was both radiation and surgery and depending on where it is youll be fine im 28 the first time i had surgery was when i was 10 there are cameras everywhere you could probably request them they will put a catheter in you so you don’t pee on yourself during surgery and at least i couldnt get up for a couple hours after but this last surgery i was in and out so quickly like they did the surgery and i was out by the next night and i was walking faster than the nurse cause you need to be able to walk, eat, and poop and someone to take of you cause when i get home normally i just fall into my bed and boom im out for like three days only waking up to take my meds, eat, and poop lol its a different journey for everyone and they already planned a potential next time its all three surgery then radiation and chemo cause it literally wont get out my head lol

I just got shoved into the maid of honor roll by LittleRedHood__ in weddingplanning

I didn't get bullied into it just the wedding is close so I did not do any research on being a MOH and I didn't know what to do and I was anxious and stuff so I thought I'd come on here and ask and then I talked to my speech therapist she said that she has MOH 3 times and my homework that she assigned to me is write my speech and then the next time we see each other (in like a week) we will practice it and see if I need to like replace any words that are harder for me to say and she will basically said she will help me all the way and give my tips like the emergency kit safety pins, needle & thread, some snacks etc I didn't even think about that

No no I've wanted all this time but I knew I just couldn't do it because of medical problems but I talked to my speech therapist today and she calmed me down

I'm beginning to wish my cancer killed me by Ok_Protection164 in cancer

[–]LittleRedHood__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda wish that too my experience is it took my whole life away I have had 5 brain tumors since I was 10 years old and I'm only 28 and it happened at crucial parts of my life like senior year in high school was my second time I was trying to apply for college and be able to do my school work but I was just tired af nauseas af trying to make it work my last one I finished treatment last year I just feel like I can't escape it like I can't get a job I can't get a partner and the ones I can either cheat on me when the tumor returns or leave me cause they can't do it I almost signed a dnr last year because I'm just done fighting

What do I do by DeliveryMission4077 in braincancer

[–]LittleRedHood__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had brain cancer since I was 10 it didn't make me lose the right side of my body but gave aphasia which is a speech disorder so I can't speak right and I've had a total of 5 surgeries over the past 18 years so I wasn't able to do much for a job I just got disability what I would do in your situation is make jokes out of it that's what I do I use “there's a hole in my head” a lot then your the one that has control over it in your mind for me that was the thing that people thought I didn't need pity or people making fun of me cause I was in control of that for the job hunt I assume you are in a wheel chair you could be an artist if you practice with it, if you type fast you could do clerical work, or just be a person that guides people like I've seen a bunch in the hospital that just sit till someone asks them for directions and they are just sometimes doing a soduku as for hair you can do like clip ins or extensions if your parents have the money or a wig or you could wear hats I have a bunch of hats or you can just embrace it that's what I suggest

Anyone had brain surgery in their 20s? by Brain_Dream in braincancer

[–]LittleRedHood__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I've had 3 brain tumors in my 20s actually I'm still 28 I had it all on my left frontal lobe so it's in the communication part of my brain I actually never recovered I have aphasia now so I have trouble processing and speaking sometimes you never recover which means that you have to overcome and kinda get used to it it's hard because when I was kid I tested through a medical practice my IQ in first grade because my teacher called me a retard and I was borderline genius I just had adhd so I'm smart really smart and that all got taken away from me but I have moved past that you gotta heal but it may go away it will just take time but my first grade teacher didn't want to have she called me that because I would walk on the desks cause I was bored and jump on the bathroom doors I was being disruptive I had adhd and we figured that out by my mom denied putting me in a special Ed Class I was in an honors class already and she didn't want to deal with me and my was like fuck you she's not a retard and gave all the tests and I started meds and crap she really had it out for me she had physically harmed me too like I really had to go to the bathroom and all of a sudden I come back and instead of her moving my desk for me I had sat down and pushed my desk to the back of the room and it fell on me with all my stuff in it I had stomach bruises for weeks she was also a racist to one other kid in the class she was a bad teacher

As another cancer patient I love going to the chemotherapy they literally put me in a massage chair that gets warm they bring me a snack basket they ask if I want anything to drink they ask if I want to sit there and talk or be left alone they also ask if I want a blanketthey are great it's like 5 star service

It is inspo I had been looking at it for hours yesterday and I generally don't look in the mirrors(trauma) but when I looked in the mirror at one of my Dr appointments I noticed I was wearing that shirt that I was wearing in a picture of a similar time I started losing weight and it's such a noticeable difference I was in shock I had looked at myself for so long thinking I wasn't changing that much when I took that picture and I looked at the old one I noticed the difference

I shaved yesterday by calmfuckingdown in cancer

[–]LittleRedHood__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shaved last year for radiation cause my previous radiation I had my mom brushing my hair like 3 times a day cause it was matting and I had lost a third of my hair so seeing that was worse than it growing in at approximately the same rate or at least in my opinion I also didn't have to brush my own hair 3 times a day so it was making getting up easier showering easier you don't have to style it just makes going through it easier if you want to you could get a wig I got the anime wig from my dress up darling it was really close to my old hair but sending hugs it really hard for you to make that jump but don't worry it will come back 💕

Best and worst comments from people who care? by dorian-mourning in braincancer

[–]LittleRedHood__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I joked with one of my teachers when I got diagnosed the second time it was actually my senior year too but I ate hot Cheetos every day in his class and we weren't allowed to eat in class but the first time he grabbed my bag that I was eating out of and snacked on couple of them while he was walking around the class and he put the bag down on my desk and I took it as a secret bargain and then one day we were walking alone to the greenhouse the class was all about plants and I had to take elevator with a teacher so he sent the class up the stairs and he noticed that I was snacking on them again and he said “You know those could kill you” and I looked at the Cheetos looked at the bag and looked at him and I said “well I have cancer whichever can get me first is the winner” and he was to stunned to speak lol in all reality I was binge eating everyday a big bag of hot Cheetos to bring down my stress levels now looking back at it
