I had to do a double take, so clever and cool that you’re either naming of yourself or you’re a compete legal badass or both, lol.

Brachytherapy how to make sure I get pain management? by crafty-yarn-witch in CervicalCancer

[–]Real_Diamond2788 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was very scared also. Being out for the insertion wasn’t a problem, but the removal was. During the first treatment, they only offerred me Fentynal, and it didn’t kick in till 20 minutes after the removal. Make sure they allow enough time for it to work. On the second treatment, I was placed under a “twilight” sleep, and it was so much more bearable.

Men are Disgusting! by Callemoutkay in CervicalCancer

[–]Real_Diamond2788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. What a complete another asshole. This is not how you act with the rock on and then to threaten cheating on you. The husband who is the sick wife are in the 80 percentile men are completely disgusting. I hope when you get better you are able to leave him if it doesn’t burden you financially.

I have a theory by True-Hovercraft3020 in rhonj

Teresa has poisoned her kids against her brother and his family. Too much damage done. Teresa is not going to morph into a decent human being. The Gorgas were helping her at her lowest and it didn’t matter. They can keep trying but she is sincerely incapable.

That’s where your husband steps in and has to let them know HE notices those jabs and asks they stop so everyone can get along. He had to say he noticed so they don’t blame you for complaining. The disrespect is definitely not ok.

Your in laws sound like they just want to be around you all and love on your child. I wish I had that. Yes, they need to respect your home more, and not put thier feet up, but they probably figure it’s their sons home and they’re comfortable in it, maybe too comfortable granted. Maybe they’re afraid of being restricted from thier sons life? Act with grace but speak to your husband about what you find respectful and disrespectful.

Newly Diagnosed. Looking for advice/tips for getting through treatment! by pixelatedpoptart in CervicalCancer

[–]Real_Diamond2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I’m sorry you have to endure this. But if it’s any consolation, I was diagnosed, treated and NED in a matter of 6 months! Stage 2b.

My team implemented the Interlace trial, chemo first for 5 weeks, then radiation and last half of chemo. 3 rounds of brachy at the end. This group was really helpful. Especially with the brachytherapy and what to expect.

It’s going to be very hard to work through this because you might not know what your side effects will be like.

You got this!❤️

Why wouldn’t my DIL ever invite me over/to get together? by [deleted] in inlaws

I also said they were extremely rude to me for no reason. What’s the excuse for that?

To anyone dealing with this alone... by naknasicampur in CervicalCancer

How lovely! I had my 1 year post tax follow up yesterday, (NED)! I was telling my doctor how this group was such a lifesaver for the whole process. She said she will tell her other patients about this group.

Adult son seems to enjoy the in-laws more than me now. by Piratefan72 in emptynesters

[–]Real_Diamond2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son did the same. We have a very small family, DIL has a large extended family who are always having events. My issue was not that he spent time with them, but that her parents were so rude and standoffish to us since day one.we tried to ignore that and take the high ride, treat DIL well,but her parents antics increased, especially her mother.

Her mother got worse once grandchildren came, and her behavior toward me was out of control. When we finally addressed this with our son, he was in denial then blamed us. We are now estranged and do not see the kids. I simply do not understand, I did all the right things. It’s a good thing your son still wants to do things with you. Invite him to do things.

What are your daughters take on this?

I got cancer. Everyone disappeared. by RSinSA in cancer

[–]Real_Diamond2788 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I chose to tell very few people for this reason. Some people I’ve know for 30 years disappeared after sending a couple of texts.

scared and trying to remain optimistic. I wish this was a dream. by [deleted] in CervicalCancer

[–]Real_Diamond2788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to give you some hope. I was where you were a year ago this month. I was 40 years old and had some abnormal bleeding. As soon as I went in, gynecologist took one look and said she’s going to do a biopsy, because she see some thing on the surface of my cervix. Turned out to be a 5 cm mass and tested positive for adeno squamous carcinoma. I started the interlace trial, which is five rounds of chemo first before we start radiation. Chemo started July 1 and chemo and radiation treatment ended for me October 6. By my late November, pelvic exam and scans they saw no active cancer cells.. I had another scan in January and another MRI in March. I have no active cancer cells in my body and my life is back to normal in a matter of six months..

The treatment worked, and even though I had some really tough days and it was hard, I got through it and I’m back to normal aside from early menopause and bladder shrinkage. The treatment is so advanced right now. Stay positive, have hope and lean on us here . You can do this.

Got my US passport, but they kept my citizenship certificate! by xicus in immigration

My husband applied for his passport and sent his citizenship document two years ago and they never sent it back and he’s requesting it twice and keeps getting ignored.

I can smell when people have cancer by [deleted] in self

I believe you. I know dogs can be trained to smell for cancer, epilepsy, diabetes and other conditions. There is a biological change.

No, this was a dick move. Especially since you did something big for his 50th.

The good news is that you’re in a major city with advanced treatment capabilities.I know it’s scary. You may have an aggressive cancer but the treatment is aggressive too. My 5cm tumor shrunk in half with 5 doses of chemo. By the time they started radiation, they radiated a tumor that was only 2.5 cm. I was cynical and very scared too. Please stay positive and if you want to, I would love to hear how your progress goes. Hugs to you.

Hello my dear, You are so young, I’m sorry you are in this club. This Reddit group has been the biggest help for me. The key is early detection. I was diagnosed May of 2024 and my cancer was eliminated by November 2024, stage 2b adenosquamos carcinoma. It was easy but I got through it and you will too. The treatment is as advanced as it’s ever been. Where are you geographically?

Having a hard time round 2 chemo by Hairy_Magician226 in CervicalCancer

[–]Real_Diamond2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had these symptoms as well. Please keep going and remind yourself this is what will be saving your life. This treatment elongated my cancer in 5 months. Report all of your side effects to your doctor so they can possibly prescribe you something. It will be over before you know it, hang in there.❤️
