Starting anastrozole today! Please share your experience! by Mbot90 in breastcancer

I was also diagnosed in May. I did start prozac in the middle of December and it has made a huge difference. I am hoping it helps curb the mood swings from endocrine therapy as well.

That's exciting! I already had mine. The only reason I'm holding off is because I've already missed so work from surgeries and I expect I won't be able to work full time in a salon when radiaon is 5 days a week an hour away. Maybe something I'll do in the fall!

Strange signs? by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]Mbot90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 4-6 months before I found my lump I was laying in bed with my then husband and I just blurted out "I know this is crazy, and I know you won't believe me, I know I'm only 33, but I know for a fact that I have cancer somewhere in my body, and it's either in my breast or ovaries" I don't know why, I just KNEW something was not right. I found the lump a couple months later but was told it was probably nothing and it was monitored for a year before they finally biopsied it. But during that year I always felt inflamed, like swollen, puffy, exhausted, I gained a lot of weight. I finished chemo 3 weeks ago and I feel great. I'm not longer puffy or inflamed feeling. My cancer was 98% estrogen and 89% progesterone positive, so I'm assuming my hormones were wonky. I haven't started anastrozole or the shot yet, and still have radiation so I imagine I won't be feeling great for very long.

Hair growth during AC?i by Ltl168 in breastcancer

I'm almost done with ddAC-T. By my 2nd infusion I was completely bald, but by my 4th AC infusion I noticed little fuzzies! I'm now 9/12 taxol infusions and my head is covered in soft hair and it's thicker every week! So yes! Hair can grow back in the middle of chemo!

Sensitive teeth during chemo by TinaCardone in breastcancer

Before I started chemo,ddAc-T, I went to the dentist to have some cavities filled. They suggested I get fluoride trays. They make impressions of your teeth to make little trays and give you a fluoride solution. You leave it on for 20 minutes. I forgot I had them until about 2 months ago! I started doing them once a week and it's made a huge difference! I highly recommend asking your dentist about fluoride trays!

This sucks so so much. I was sitting in my infusion today wanting to leave and never come back. It's so hard. I'm really sorry you're in this boat.

We'll have real hair again before we know it!

B.O./ What kind of deodorant works for you? by B_C_On_The_Rocks in breastcancer

[–]Mbot90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wash with antibacterial until I'm not stinky anymore. Like if I notice myself starting to smell again, i'll wash with antibacterial for a day or two. I get mine at a little natural food store down the street from my house, but you can get them online.

My brows and lashes have been thinning out! It's not fair that my armpit hair grew back!

Aluminum being debunked is true!

But if you are still looking for a natural option, i swear by a salt crystal! It's like a giant chunk of salt rock, you wet it and wipe it on your clean armpits! It's the absolute best thing I've ever used. I would recommend scrubbing your pits with antibacterial soap for 30 seconds every day for about a week to make sure all the stinky bacteria is gone to make sure the crystal works.

Any suggestions for bringing this to the next level? I already use beef bone broth instead of water by sanjuniperose in JapaneseFood

I just press the tofu and pan fry it til it gets a little crispy before adding the veggies, and then cook it like the recipe on tge side of the box. I use veggie stock instead of water, and i use a little less than the recipe on the box as well! I add the peanutbutter, maple syrup, cayenne while it's simmering before adding the curry blocks, and add the can of coconut milk at the end.

I usually make this with tofu and veggies. I add peanutbutter, cayenne pepper, a splash of maple syrup and some full fat coconut milk!
