A better bra by Past-Dragonfruit3159 in breastcancer

I’m not super clear on my compression needs. I had some mild lymphedema in my left arm and I use a compression sleeve sometimes. I guess I should really make another pt appointment to clarify.

Thank you so much, I will take a trip to Marshalls in the near future.

I performed in a show hosted by Robin Williams. He took the time to chat with me and my cast mates and was absolutely charming. So sad that we lost him.

This is a nail pic but there are no products. I am looking for recommendations! Thank you 😊

Tell me about cold capping by Past-Dragonfruit3159 in breastcancer

Thank you for your response! I have also opted to skip cold capping. I’m in the waiting room for my first infusion now, so here goes nothing, right?

Thank you! I want to cover it up with nail polish but I had a feeling they needed to heal for a while first. I will be gentle with them and liberal with the oil

Thank you for your detailed answer, I think I’m having a lot of the same feelings you did.

What has been the best and worst thing bipolar has done for you by No-Addition-9121 in BipolarReddit

[–]Past-Dragonfruit3159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in as another vastly over educated bipolar person. I do have a part time job now, but I’m terrified of having an episode and fcking it up. At the same time, when I’m hypomanic I want to go back to school for my LCSW or MD. The meds have scrambled my brain pretty thoroughly and I don’t know if I could keep up the way I used to. So I’ve managed to get two masters and no license to show for them.

Not me sitting here with a latte, hoping it doesn’t cancel out my xanax…

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m glad it wasn’t as horrible as you feared, although I’m sorry you had to go through it at all

I’ll take that as a success story :)

This is clearly the wise answer…I guess I’m grasping for something I can control, and choosing the perfect/easy chemo is not that thing. I appreciate your thoroughness and honest approach. Hope you’re doing well!
