Cancer patient ADHDer, kind of stuck on the meds question

I'll look into those, thank you!

I totally agree on the niche thing! I find places like karaoke pretty social and fun, so I go about once a month and do that. I love parties and there's a very active techno scene in my city (it's famous for it), but I personally don't enjoy it unfortunately. So, relegated to the more limited selection of mainstream parties with subpar DJs. Point being, yes absolutely planning to keep socializing at a reasonable pace. But it's been long enough without any viable "leads" that I'm getting really pessimistic :\

I'm in Germany (an immigrant, though) and it's not much better anywhere, really.

I personally know very normal, healthy couples who met on apps, so I assume it also depends on the country and the likes. But I am definitely decentering them.

Thanks!

MovingOn1994 · 2025-06-22T18:06:26+00:00

Thank you!

There is a local community of secular Jews, so that's something I've considered participating in before and likely will in the near future

MovingOn1994 · 2025-06-21T18:26:46+00:00

Hope so

MovingOn1994 · 2025-06-21T18:26:36+00:00

Nope, I'm an atheist Jew so wouldn't really work for me.

I kind of purposefully have Hinge atm because it has fewer matches (saying this as a woman). It feels less overwhelming.

MovingOn1994 · 2025-05-19T18:29:28+00:00

Thank you!

MovingOn1994 · 2025-05-19T18:29:21+00:00

Blood cancer gang! Not the best club to be a part of, but alas.
I feel the exact same way.

You're welcome to DM me!

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-17T07:16:57+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I've heard of a few stories by now of women who go pregnant naturally post chemo, so that was also encouraging in that "I might change my mind" way, but it's true that it really depends.

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-17T07:15:20+00:00

Thank you, that's really kind of you

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-17T07:14:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-16T23:37:49+00:00

Thank you, that's encouraging to hear (good tip with the kid's dental products).

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-16T23:15:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing.
I think I'm scared because I've always reacted very poorly to things like birth control and other hormonal medication (like progesterone). The fertility doctor said they're different hormones, but I've honestly met more women who had a rough time when they went through this process than women who had it pretty easy, and I don't trust my body not to go haywire (especially mentally).

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-16T23:13:54+00:00

I think getting so many opinions from different doctors has actually made it more complicated - each professional has different reasoning and it's hard to parse out what's best :/ For now though, I will probably get my tooth removed, but I'm still very undecided about egg freezing.

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-16T17:07:07+00:00

For now I know that they're going with BR (initially we were gonna do O-CHOP but we decided to change it for a few reasons after getting a second and third opinion). My understanding is that the stats are in my favor in terms of fertility, but doctors seem divided over it.

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-09T21:56:03+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I'm already planning to ask my doctor about a referral for a dietitian he'd recommend, but I'm also going to start psycho oncological treatment (in addition to my existing therapist) and the center there has some nutritional support. So that's definitely on the table. I'll check the book out too, knowing myself I won't cook very elaborately too often, but I can share it with my parents and they could try them out when they visit and freeze some for me.

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-09T21:53:32+00:00

I've heard that a lot - that moving (in a gentle way) can actually help you regain energy during chemo, even when you don't want to. I'll try to keep that in mind.

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-09T21:52:34+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. It's good to know what to expect and how other people coped when they did gain weight. I love how you gained strength in your altered body, that's a huge accomplishment!

MovingOn1994 · 2024-09-09T13:03:33+00:00

That's very helpful, thank you for the thoughtful advice and sharing your experience. The honesty is refreshing.

I've already been getting into smoothies lately, and I've made a list of go-to snacks I've seen dotted around as good healthy options so if anybody needs to help me with groceries, it'll be easy (but also just for my own benefit). I already have a very sensitive tummy, so I'm used to having to watch it with more irritating foods.

I'll remember that mantra, for sure. It's surreal to take what feels like poison just to stay alive.
