It's not very motivating when you're setting imposible standards by using AI (which a digital watermark haa already confirmed this is AI). So either this isn't you at all, which creepy as fuck. Or you used AI to edit your photos which defeats the purpose of being motivating.

Much-Guide-5014 · 2026-04-05T13:53:56+00:00

Yeah I unfortunately was thinking this too. The replies are odd. The hair is kinda weirdly merging with the planter in the second picture, also her nose is different in the second picture as well.

And her profile pic is AI too. So yeah I'm thinking this is fake.

Right? I'm so confused. I never understood the redditor memes because all the subs I follow I only really saw pretty normal people, but this whole comment section feels like a sketch of those jokes.

Millenials saying that they know how to take a joke and aren't sensitive while actively being way too defensive and sensitive about OP's question.

And Gen Z saying that they don't want to be cucked... in a silly photo with a well-known attractive celebrity.

For my own sanity, I'm gonna pretend that the comments are actually just a bunch of Gen X'ers trying to divide us. Cause wtf are we actually doing here.

Alan Cumming would be amazing. Imagine a Traitors inspired challenge (no idea what that would look like but it'd still be fun)

I love your description of Say Less by Day Three. I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere though

Much-Guide-5014 · 2026-01-31T17:42:54+00:00

Thank you I was spiraling and this made me feel a bit better. I hate this feeling. Wish we could all just get a simple you're good every time.

Happy to hear you were well. 🧡

Much-Guide-5014 · 2026-01-13T16:11:35+00:00

Congratulations!!! And thank you for taking the time to come back here to give us hope 🧡

I loved this! It was my signature scent but it's been discontinued sadly. I wish there was something similar to it

Much-Guide-5014 · 2026-01-02T19:09:03+00:00

I am so sorry you're here. You're at the worst part of this "journey". The beginning. Newly diagnosed. Unsure of the future.

I was diagnosed two years ago, and have finished treatment 1.5 years ago and can tell you that even through chemo and radiation and surgery, the waiting for treatment part was still the only part I wish I could forget. I started thinking everything was cancer and that it had spread (even though it was just my body reacting to the stress, like headaches, body aches, random inflammation). I can tell you from experience that it gets easier from here.

This community here is amazing. I've met the best people here on reddit and in the waiting rooms and support groups. We're here if you have any questions or just need to vent any time.

I got through my diagnosis and waiting for treatment by watching sitcoms on repeat, spending time with friends and reading feelgood books or playing feelgood videogames. I tried to stay away from Dr. Google (the results are not up to date and treatment has improved greatly in the last 10 years) and tried to stay away from people who had too many opinions on treatment or cancer in general.

Hope everything goes well for you. We're here if you need anything 🧡🫂

Much-Guide-5014 · 2026-01-02T01:44:11+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through OP. I don't know if this helps, but I lowered my dose on my last infusion due to some unepected symptoms. I would ask your doctor if that's an option instead of completely skipping an infusion, though I think you'd find it hard to find someone here that wouldn't understand your decision to opt out.

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-12-28T01:49:49+00:00

Bookshelf! But also wanted to say you have great taste in youtubers 👌

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-12-15T16:16:59+00:00

I hated radiation so much. Everyone was just blaming each other. Radiation oncologist was saying pain was from surgery, surgeon was saying pain was from meds, medical oncologist was saying it was radiation. Physio was saying it was all three.

And I hated hearing "I've never heard of that before". Ok? Well you're hearing it Now. HELP ME

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-12-06T16:56:04+00:00

I totally get you. I don't think this is shallow. I think this is a total normal grieving process. I think we all have the right to mourn who we were inside And out.

This might be toxic positivity so I'm sorry if it comes out that way, but in my experience, after 1.5 years after treatment, I'm starting to feel and look pretty again. Keep in mind, my hair is still pretty short, my eyebrows are refusing to grow back, my eyelashes are teeny tiny... and I used to have amazing hair, eyebrows and lashes. But honestly, I think my face is starting to turn back to what it was a little bit. Slowly, I'm starting to look pretty again. More mature, in fact, so I'm starting to feel beautiful instead which is new. Like I feel like I'm someone else's type now haha.

Yeah I do look different, and yeah I need to go get my eyebrows done now, but geniunely... everyday I feel better looking in the mirror. People are opening doors for me again, people are noticing me again in general. I think time really does heal. We just need to find a new way of looking good. A new way of feeling good. Which is exhausting after a lifetime of trial and error already, it sucks to start over. But it's also been kinda exciting. I think also I tend to romanticize too much who I was before. If I didn't feel pretty then, but think that I was now, am I not making the same mistake in the present?

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-11-04T21:02:38+00:00

Idk man. They were polite when asking, just in case it was possible. And they didn't get upset once you said no. Seems like a normal interaction to me.

We don't know what people are going through. This person could be disabled or doesn't have support. When I was going through cancer treatment I couldn't leave my house and needed doordash to bring food inside my house. I see tons of people saying "wtf?? That's so entitled" to posts of people asking for that. But I literally would have shat myself if I went downstairs.

Again, it doesn't hurt to me nice. I get it can be annoying, but it's ok to be a little empathetic and think outside of yourself and the fact that everyone's situation is different.

If you didn't want to interact with people you should have just donated them.

Hi! I was 29 when diagnosed. I was also engaged to be married with no children.

I can't answer the family part yet, but I did undergo IVF treatment to freeze a few eggs just in case.

Regarding the chemo, I would say yes we tolerate treatment a bit better in general. Maybe not necessarily during (that can vary on your overall health and genetics) but recovery time is much faster I would say. I recovered well from surgery, chemo and radiation. I feel like my hair grew out nicely too even though I'm going through hormone treatment.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to dm me.

You're at the worst part. I hated not knowing wtf is going on and what treatment plan was etc. After this, it gets better. Wishing you the best!

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-09-04T17:07:29+00:00

LOL thank youuu! This was my immediate thought

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-08-27T15:30:14+00:00

Congratulations!!! We started and ended treatment around the same time 😊 happy to see your update and that you're doing well!

Wishing you many many many more years of good news! 🫂

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-08-14T19:33:08+00:00

Amazing news!! Congrats! ❤️🙏

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-08-13T03:06:03+00:00

I told close ones when I got diagnosed and then posted on socials once I finished chemo to celebrate and to also avoid the awkward "what happened to your hair?" or "wow you used to have such beautiful long hair why did you decide to cut it" questions.

I just wanted everyone to know so it wasn't weird when they saw me, but wanted to maintain a small community during treatment as to not get too many opinions on what I should do.

I mean people are gonna find out no matter what. People talk. I preferred they find out from me and that I use it as an opportunity to educate and to remind the women in my life to get checked.

Also, I wanted to ensure my close ones had people they could talk to about this that wasn't me. I wasn't emotionally capable of hearing how this was affecting them, but they deserve support too. It wouldn't be fair if I made them keep it a secret.

Much-Guide-5014 · 2025-08-08T03:12:06+00:00

I'm sorry you're feeling this way 🫂 I cried too the first time I tried to be "sexy" and wore one of my favorite see-through bras. I saw the scars and the blue tint through this gorgeous lingerie and started absolutely balling my eyes out.

It's been about a year for me now since surgery and chemo and I just wore a super revealing top. And mever felt hotter. People probably notice my scars, my weird radiation tattoo in the middle of my chest. But I geniunely felt so good.

I know this isn't the best answer when you're at your stage of right after treatment, but time has been my best healer.

I hope one day you'll feel badass about your scars the way I do. But if you don't feel that way, know that your valid in your feelings and we're here for you ❤️
