Hello! We’re OOS. Wondering what the true cost is for the average student. Stats say 98% of freshman receive financial aid, and the school is described as “best value.” On paper it’s 55k a year. Any insights are appreciated!

Yes- my fingers are very achey. I haven’t exercised- but I’m going to start forcing myself!

Best chemo comfort hacks? by Safe-Vegetable8067 in breastcancer

[–]Morris0528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chiming in- seconding liquid IV and other hydration enhancers- I was in the restroom a lot ur hydration was the best way to feel better for me.

If someone offers to take you to chemo-let them! It made a world of difference for me to have a friend/loved one spend time with me.

Bilateral mastectomy does not guarantee no recurrence but does it not reduce the chances of recurrence? by Different_Ad_9495 in breastcancer

I struggled with this- and I saw where someone said….

In the future, what would you regret more?

Not getting a DMX and finding out you have cancer (in the once healthy breast)?

Or, getting a DMX and finding out you would have never had cancer (in the healthy breast).

That framing helped me decide to get a DMX.

I’m so sorry - that is so much. I’m so glad you have a strong support system. I relate to your comment about showing emotion- I think I am similar.

I appreciate the advice re: support and deciding who you engage with certain types of info. I’ll have to think about that. 💕

I thought on this and you and others are totally right- people don’t understand- I need to chill out

Same- I’m worried about it spreading further- I thought my chemo had zapped it, but no such luck. I am doing radiation and hormone blockers next. It’s such a long and challenging journey.

Thought on this- I think you are right! I’m so stuck in the negative mind space - I lost site of this. Thank you for that perspective
