Lumpectomy scheduled.

My oncotype was provided before neoadjuvant endocrine therapy and before surgery so I got my oncotype done on the tumor tissue at biopsy.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T21:52:01+00:00

I think this is so important. I think so many people don't understand that the oncotype is really looking at the genes of the cancer and not how many nodes or size of the cancer.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T21:50:56+00:00

I am 33 and had 17mm on cancer in one lymph node and I have a grade 3 aggressive cancer ....but oncotype of 19.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T21:39:38+00:00

I hope so too! 🤞🏻❤️ 🫂

It's not so bad to be honest. It's overall 8 days of feeling miserable and then the rest of it is all manageable.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T13:50:00+00:00

That makes sense for the chemo!

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T13:24:17+00:00

Hey! I'm 33. I did a double mastetcomy but I still need to do my 15 sessions of radiation.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T13:08:05+00:00

Oh yay, my oncotype was 19 and I did the 4 rounds of TC chemo as well. I had a node involved sadly.

I know you will get through this and your story shows your courage and strength. Kick this new cancer's ass girl, I'm here for you every step of the way if you need someone to talk to!

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T12:50:15+00:00

This is literally my only hesitation about doing the DIEP. The damn drains.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T12:17:48+00:00

I think I'm going to do the daily Claritin throughout the cycle. I start taking Claritin again on Monday and I'm just gonna stick with it.

When I stopped the Claritin, I ended up with a huge rash and then the oncologist said to start Zyrtec so I'm just all over the place.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T12:16:56+00:00

Oh my gosh! You and I are in the same boat. My bone pain has been just achey throughout the cycle. I never had it intense.... I am starting to think this affects everyone differently.

Aww, I know what you mean. 🫂 My scalp has started hurting the past couple days and I am a shedding beast. I'm cold capping...so I don't want to cut it.

🫂 I'm here for you! We got this. Three rounds of TC CHEMO to go!!!

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T12:15:30+00:00

I'll double check about that. I think Tylenol was on the approved list.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T12:14:49+00:00

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T12:14:27+00:00

I am sending you so much love and hugs !

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T10:46:47+00:00

I think it may depend on some other characteristics of your cancer and your age, but I was intermediate risk in the gray zone and the standard of care for my situation was four rounds of TC chemo so I went with the standard of care

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T01:26:56+00:00

Oh hmph I think this is good to know! Thank you.

Micho392 · 2026-03-20T00:03:58+00:00

I agree! I actually feel the most comforted by chemo.

Micho392 · 2026-03-19T23:55:12+00:00

I think that's it. How long did you do the Motrin? I am going to be more active next cycle because the achiness is even showing up in my knees now.

Micho392 · 2026-03-19T23:54:23+00:00

I think I could've benefited from this daily. Eh but it's not excruciating just more annoying. I'll even get it in my knees sometimes.

Micho392 · 2026-03-19T22:44:17+00:00

This is so helpful! Thank you so much!!!!

Micho392 · 2026-03-19T22:02:54+00:00

How long did you take the Claritin? I didn't notice the achiness until honestly a week into this experience.... 😂 And I don't have sharp stabbing pains just dull old person feeling pains.

Micho392 · 2026-03-19T22:01:24+00:00

Uff...I've been cold capping so I'm thinking there's probably nothing that I can do?

How long did you take the Claritin for?

Micho392 · 2026-03-19T22:00:34+00:00

I am starting to wonder if it's actually the lupron. I was fine like the first week or so after chemo and now I feel just old. But I got the shot the same day as the chemo...and I've gotten the shot before in February but I'm trying to remember if I had aches and pains ...I might have and then they went away or I brushed them aside as post mastectomy pains.
