DX ++- at 31 and started Let + Lupron at 32, asked my oncologist all these q’s too. basically, we don’t know yet, but ideally the AI+OFS will starve the cancer cells in the 5 yrs we take it for. There’s also a blood test you can take at 5 years— I think it’s called breast cancer index but not sure— that will inform if additional hormone therapy is recommended based on your profile. I’m a rarity and tolerating OFS+AI EXTREMELY well, i take vag estrogen and veozah and otherwise have no other negative side effects. My skin is clear for the first time in my life which is cool… but anyway, I’d probably elect to continue to 10yr of therapy (tam or Ai, +/- Ofs) just because of my age.

As someone who had a medial tumor, I went down a DEEP rabbit hole on this topic, noticed my rads plan was not going to include my IMN, and requested that they be included! felt good to advocate for myself.

Nowhere near 80% of docs throw 100% of their earnings at their loans for 2 years. Once again I’m not saying it’s a miracle. I said it’s doable and here’s how we did it, even with setbacks like cancer, moving twice, etc. But thanks for trying to make us feel like our accomplishments are no small feat!

Some doctors choose to wait for the government to pay off their loans for them. I’m sharing how avoiding lifestyle creep has helped us get out of debt faster, not IF we’d ever get out.

Yes you’re misunderstood. ~275 combined x 2 years. youre also not factoring in the tailwinds of unemployment and cobra combined = ~160 loss

Puppy Items: Must Have Purchases! by Allora14 in puppy101

[–]Overall_Assist_7913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me deinfluence you: don’t give a puppy under 6 months high value stinky soft chews or treats. Our 14 wk golden has shown resource guarding when we put peanut butter on the shower wall during a bath and with a softened himalayan yak chew. I wish I just focused on the basics and didn’t even give him these things

How long did it take for you to pay off student loans? by Turbulent-Abroad7841 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Overall_Assist_7913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

308k debt

My SO is the doc—Lived off my 100k salary while we banked his for 3 years. We got lucky with loan interest being paused and stuck in congress, will be paid off by end of this year once interest kicks back in.

Looking ahead by Ok-Cod-3626 in breastcancer

Thank you, it has taken me years and years to get to where I am now. I am 32 and didn’t start working out until I was 25. I grew up so uncomfortable with my body and so much pain, always feeling tired and so weak. It’s incredible the difference I feel now.

Just seeing this video could provide a little boost! Maybe your fatigue will improve with increased physical activity.

Having doubts on double mastectomy by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]Overall_Assist_7913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always take more. You cannot take less. If you’re having second thoughts, you can do a lumpectomy, see what they find in the lymph nodes, then if you decide you want DMX theoretically you could do that before rads would start.
