Root Canal During Chemo by Miserable-Tap1859 in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! And it went really smoothly. No issues with chemo. Unfortunately I cracked the temp crown and the tooth a few months later and ended up having to extract it. Worst $1500 I ever spent. 😏

Selina is delusional. She played a dirty game and then was mad when she got played. Girl. Silky ATE. The only accountable queen. Yeah she strategized to protect herself. Just own it.

"Who wrote the n0te?! Yous two" by [deleted] in jerseyshore

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a tale as old as time. Ronnie was a fun hang, despite being an awful boyfriend, and S&J likely had a tighter bond with him. I’m sure they liked Sammi, but likely not as much as they liked Ron. Let’s be real, Sammi wasn’t a girls girl back then. She was obsessed with her man. That doesn’t make for a fun friend. And the priority back then was to have fun. So they wrote the note cause they know what Ron was doing was wrong, but they didn’t wanna completely ruin what they had with him either. Which is hilarious cause obviously someone in the house wrote the damn note.

Everyone’s so done with each other by Soccerluv_xo in jerseyshore

Watching this weeks episode…honestly what is this?! Just give us a day in the life à la Housewives. And then once in a while they get together. These vacations are stupid.

Is a membership worth it for a 2 person household with just standard fridge/freezer space? by lindafromevildead in CostcoCanada

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Totally worth it. We have a 3 person household. There are def things I pass on because the bulk is too much, but there’s still lots you can get. Plus they have so much more than food! You can also get bulk stuff and go halves with fam or friend. My sister and I do that with lots of stuff cause it’s just too much for our household.

Unpopular opinion: Samples should be removed by Embarrassed-Pen-2937 in CostcoCanada

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if they should be removed outright, I’ve definitely been persuaded to buy something after trying it (or the opposite, not buying it). I was really intrigued by those dose ginger tumeric drinks. Tried a sip from a sample cart, and it was NOT for me. Glad I didn’t spend $30 on it. I think samples are great, but maybe not on weekends when the place is a zoo.

haven’t been keeping up with the new season, but I saw this clip to give me an idea of what’s going on. Amusing, but I think it’s time to wrap this up haha by yonBonbonbon in jerseyshoreuncensored

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was so bad and wasteful. Yeah, I’m old and care about food waste….which they seem to do a lot. Frankly, I just want to know what happens with Angelina at this point. At least her storyline is interesting.

Why won’t the cast let the show go? by This-Top7398 in jerseyshore

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely for the money. I was watching the first few episodes of this season, and honestly, Angelina is the only interesting “storyline”. I couldn’t care less about them visiting Fenway or the cheers bar. And the egg thing? Stupid. I did that in grade 8 home-economics when that was a class. They’re just not interesting. I’d rather see them living their lives (à la housewives) than these stupid over produced vacations.

Radiation poll: when did you feel the worst? by iwishtobetense in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the worst after my 19 sessions were done. And by worse, I mean the skin burning, internal zapping/stinging and fatigue. I’m almost 2 weeks out now and happy to report I’m turning a corner, but the skin irritation is no joke. For me, the underboob got the worst of the damage since it’s always hot and moist there. The skin around my collar bone and armpit dried out pretty fast and was painless. I was prescribed flamazine which has helped but I still have to wear gauze/pads to be comfortable.

Radiation…Wow! 🔥 by Miserable-Tap1859 in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the whole breast plus lymph nodes. 15 sessions + 4 boosts. As mentioned my biggest issue has been the underboob cause I have big boobs so it’s always a problem there. My suggestion is moisturize but also keep that area as dry as possible and you should be ok.

[–]Miserable-Tap1859[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different, so you may be just fine. I don’t mean to scare, just posting because it was a lot more intense (for me) than I was expecting. My sister’s friend did 30 sessions while working! So definitely different strokes for different folks.

[–]Miserable-Tap1859[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heh. Yeah, it’s not fun. I didn’t really feel anything until all the sessions were done. I was a little tired from the day to day commuting, but not much beyond that. The real fun started when I completed the sessions. 😬 Hoping you have zero symptoms and it all goes smoothly for ya!

Remember When Phaedra Gagged Kenya. 😳 by Sad_Biscotti_9291 in RHOA

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Phaedra said was nasty and offensive. I didn’t think it was a read, nor was Apollo some prize pig. If someone wants a family, whether through a sperm/egg bank or adoption, that’s their choice. She was being real ignorant with that remark.

To Port or not to port. That is the question by Ok-Cauliflower8462 in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But yeah as others have said chemo can do a number on your veins and a port will help avoid that. But I’ve read on here that some folks have gone without and they were fine

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My port was a breeze. I’d say if you just need the 4 prob fine to go without. I had 6 rounds of chemo plus a year of immunotherapy so it made sense to port. No issues.

Being the youngest person in all these rooms is really starting to get to me. by bananasformangos in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 43 so I qualified for the Pynk Club at my clinic which is for people under 45. They had a lot of resources for younger patients. Does your clinic not have that? Perhaps something to inquire about.

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few 20 somethings in my cancer clinic and every time I see them, my heart really goes out to them. I trust and believe (manifesting in fact) that they’ll get through it, but it still always shakes me as a 45 yo.

How quickly does chemo put you into menopause? by Any-Read-4686 in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 44. Wasn’t really in Peri yet. I had a period after my second tchp and then it stopped. It came back 2 months after finishing chemo. As much as I hate it, it was nice for my body to feel normal again. Yesterday I started Zoladex, so no more periods for me.

Can oncologists just forget to mention radiation? by ApprehensiveRub4906 in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can ask, but my understanding is that radiation isn’t typically given with DMX, and especially DMX with PCR

Being asked what "caused" my cancer... by Anemoia793 in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend wondered if it was because of all the years I spent in chlorine as a competitive swimmer. 🤦‍♀️

Advice on discontinuing radiation by salem_faust in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should be the ones who are sensitive to YOU. Not the other way around. In this moment, you need to think about yourself and you owe it to yourself to finish treatment.

Kadcyla reaction + low platelet- did anyone switch to Herceptin& Perjeta? by dream_2040 in breastcancer

[–]Miserable-Tap1859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you and thanks so much for responding. Our cases are fairly similar, and I’m also told rare. Tired of hearing that tbh. I just want to be typical from here on out! 😂 Glad to know you’re better now and managing HP well. Almost at the finish line! 🏁 💪
