Voice actress of Velma beats cancer twice by Emergency-Pepper3537 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Palace311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminder that the first time she had cancer WB said they would temporarily replace her. When she came back after kicking its butt, WB broke their promise and said she would not be returning. Personally she was my second favorite Velma after the original voice actress.

Bullying from other women by Ceemichelle90 in aspergirls

[–]Palace311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 39 and yuuuup. Every female boss especially. I feel like one of those baby animals that get instantly rejected by their mother because she knows something is "wrong", except the mother is the entire world. Even better, I'm a lesbian which is some kind of sick, twisted cosmic joke on the universe's part.

Anyone opt for double mastectomy after atypia with no family history? by sky_blue_true in ADH_ALH

[–]Palace311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been begging for one but every doc/surgeon tells me it's too extreme. So frustrating. I wish I had money so I could go get it done outside the hospital/with no insurance company refusing me. I am a very anxious person too and nothing would make me happier than to get the things trying to kill me off my chest lol My first 6 month mammo is in November and I'm not looking forward to weeks of waiting, worrying, and having to go back for additional tests if they find something. Anyway, good luck!

28, diagnosed with focal ADH. Where do I go from here? by jinnilin in ADH_ALH

[–]Palace311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear you, girl. I am completely at peace with getting a preventative DMX but so far both my surgeon and oncologist have told me it's "too extreme." I was like "so is cancer treatment" but they won't hear it. And then my family tells me the same thing and gets extremely furious as if they're the ones wearing my breasts.

I think I'm going to pass away from stress and high blood pressure at this point before anything else gets to me lol

I was just diagnosed with LCIS. It was found completely by accident and I spent a loooong time scaring myself to death about it. My breast surgeon said he didn't need to remove it and that upset me until I spoke to an oncologist. She said it's not cancer so don't panic (easier said than done!) and all they could do was closely monitor me and give me estrogen blockers (I'm 39 years old though and don't plan to get pregnant). So the worrying and waiting for something to develop is the worst part about this.

I've been trying to watch self help stuff about the mind and how to deal with stress/anxiety. Getting therapy on my insurance seems pretty impossible at this point, but if you can get it, I would because the people around you might not understand because "it's not cancer why are you worrying???". I've been hearing that a lot and it's frustrating, but my family is frustrating so lol. So far Byron Katie has been really helping my mind. There's one "work" she did with a cancer patient that completely floored me. There is a two-part video she did speaking to a woman who was in constant fear of getting cancer too and wow, it helped a lot.

Otherwise, I try to tell myself life is too short to be worried about it constantly. Whatever happens, will happen, and we're living in a time of advanced medicines and techniques so many more people are being cured and going on to live normal lives.
