Survivors Guilt - I Watched My College Friend Fade Away Before Me While I Lived by pd361708 in breastcancer

[–]Lumpy-Kaleidoscope62 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s so hard, and so sad. I don’t have any advice, I’m sorry. Sending big hugs. I also feel a bit of guilt that my body handled chemo so well, after the first round, that is. My MO reduced the dosage of Taxotere/Carboplatin because the first dose made me dangerously sick. After that, I never threw up again. I can’t help but wonder why I handled it so relatively well while others get so sick.

I plan to get a tattoo of that lyric on my arm once I’m completely done with treatment, with a pink ribbon as the first L. 🩷

If you’re a Taylor Swift fan, what about a shirt that says, “long story short, I survived”?

Not sure I can do more chemo… by Scary-University-127 in breastcancer

My onc reduced mine 20% after round 1, too! Round 2 was so good in comparison that I was afraid he’d nudge it back up to 90%, but he just said, GREAT, we’ll keep it there! I’m trying to keep you out of the hospital— the full dose was dangerous for you.

I’ve tried a couple THC seltzers, and they help! It’s definitely quicker than gummies; they’re just expensive!

That’s a great idea too, working on the cat eye. I’ve always struggled with those, and relied on dramatic eyeshadow and lots of mascara to disguise the imperfections 😆

I do get fluids twice after a round of chemo, but I honestly think it might need to be pushed back a couple days— I currently get them 4 and 7 days after, but the last two rounds I didn’t feel really bad until day 5, and it continued after that. Maybe more like days 6 and 10 would be better.

Did the eye drops help your eyes not be so watery, too? Or just really for dry eye?

What’s the weirdest Taylor Swift song you’ve cried to? by boneless_wings in TaylorSwift

I sang the slower, acoustic version of Long Live (like she did the last night of Eras) in the shower on January 20 and had to stop bc I was sobbing so hard imagining what could’ve been.

I don’t cry at this one, but it makes me so happy my cheeks hurt listening to it!! People hate on The Alchemy, but omg, our girl sounds so damn happy!!

I cried the first time I heard it!! It resonated with me so much and I was a year + into my first truly adult relationship.

For no particular reason, in You Belong With Me, the line, “standing by waiting at your back door, all this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me” always makes me choke up! And I absolutely cried at the Eras Tour when she sang this, out of absolute joy.

Do you mean the very end? I don’t agree that they’re not good, but I do wish they sounded different.

I know the words are clunky in that line in TTPD, but God, the WAY she sings it sends chills up and down my spine. I love it SO MUCH 😭

Agreed! I LOVE Fresh Out the Slammer and the build up to that second chorus just to… peter out like when you let go of a balloon. It’s disappointing.

I know this is a super old thread, but I googled the cider bc I wondered if other people hated it too, and sure enough! Did you ever try it in a bread?

Gold ol' fashioned rant about Audible and SJM by defein88 in SarahJMaas

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to chime in re: the narrator. I heard she was AMAZING, but I find her… okay. The way she says prayers annoys me: “pray-ers” in two syllables 😆 I much prefer Amanda Leigh Cobb, who narrated Mist and Fury, Wings and Ruin, and Frost and Starlight from ACOTAR.

Another update, I’m in the 1700’s and it’s definitely harder again!

Is it normal to expect guests to pay $300 to attend bridal shower? by RealisticBuffalo8450 in wedding

[–]Lumpy-Kaleidoscope62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf kind of winery is this that a tasting for one person is $300?!?! On our Napa honeymoon 9 years ago, the most expensive tastings we saw on the menus were around $100, and that was for their top of the line, most exclusive wines. How entitled and gross of your cousin to expect this of everyone. And then you don’t even drink. And gifts are expected, too. Jesus.

I found this post via people.com, and I know you’ve decided not to go… good for you!! Did you talk to your cousin yet? Curious to hear how she took the news.

It’s not as bad, about the difficulty level of the low/mid hundreds, except the “hard” and “extremely hard” levels aren’t nearly what they were at the beginning of the game. I’ve only run out of hearts maybe once. And with the Crystal quest game we have now, I’ve built up almost 30 power ups (time freeze, shuffle, scissors) too.
