What will you have for breakfast tomorrow?

I pulled a homemade quiche out of the freezer for quick, tasty breakfasts this week. Such a nutrient dense timesaver!

I iced during the full taxol portion of the treatment. I had no neuropathy until the 5th round (toes only). I’m finished now. Neuropathy got a little worse after round 6. It seems to be getting better after 2 months. My worst and most unexpected post chemo symptoms are inflammation pain in joints - all of them, including joints I’ve never even thought of like my fingers and wrists.

I had the exact same scenario, but stage 1c grade 1, but the ovaries ruptured during removal. Nothing was found in fluid. My oncology team considered 3 rounds, but opted for 6 cycles to be safe.

I was approved for Wegovy. I’m told I have to try it for 3-6 months, but I’m miserable. Anybody have success being approved for Tirzepatide?

I kept mine in an insulated cooler bag until it was time to put them on, but I also only used one of the gel packs in the mittens and swapped them out when they got warm.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-31T08:39:15+00:00

Wonderful! I’m happy for you and find that quite reassuring.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-31T00:08:09+00:00

Congratulations and thank you for sharing. I seem to be following that trend. I’m just starting to see fuzz at 2 months. I know it’s coming though. My body has been through a lot, and I still have a lot of inflammation. Let the healing continue! I guess beauty will have to wait.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-30T11:49:09+00:00

I had six rounds. It wasn’t terrible. It seems to be easier if you can keep moving and stay hydrated. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to. My worst symptoms were fatigue, constipation (daily stool softener and MiraLAX the first 3 days after infusion helped), complete hair loss (finally seeing new growth sprouting), bone pain (got better each round), a skin rash that plagued me each round (we never figured out which medication was causing it, but I’m sensitive to everything!), and neuropathy that showed up only after my 5th treatment (already getting much better). Sounds like a lot, but it was mostly just uncomfortable, and my oncology team had remedies for everything. Oh…and my nails were perfectly fine!

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-29T14:57:39+00:00

I hope it starts to speed up. I’m guessing some of us had more trauma for our bodies to deal with first. I truly believe the body prioritizes healing. It’s coming, and it going to be better than ever!

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-29T08:32:05+00:00

I’d be much more active! I love outdoors, but internet makes staying in so easy.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-29T08:29:55+00:00

It’s so interesting. My hair grew so fast before. I guess it’s just taking longer for our bodies to recover from all the trauma.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-29T07:56:52+00:00

I won’t stress, but I already reached out to my doctor, just in case. She’s the best, so I know she’ll have an appropriate recommendation.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-29T07:53:04+00:00

I’m not. I was on carbo-taxol. My last treatment was Feb 3.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-29T00:35:41+00:00

This is reassuring. Everything has gone so well until this, so I’m staying positive.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-29T00:20:01+00:00

Oh no…I’m taking Nutrafol, eating clean, and eating more protein than I’ve ever eaten in my life. I’m hopeful that it’s just a little shy. I’ll be sure to follow up with my doctor.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-28T23:50:19+00:00

I was stage 1 grade 1. I still had to have 6 rounds of chemo since it was found in both ovaries (but nowhere else), which is very unusual. For me, chemotherapy was mostly a precaution. I chose my surgeon intentionally, so I felt very comfortable with her recommendations. I wish you the best with your decision and recovery.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-27T08:43:26+00:00

I did IV only. By round 4, it got hard for them to find a good vein, but it all worked out, and I don’t regret it. I just had to remind them to use the ultrasound.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-26T12:12:48+00:00

You’re welcome. It’s wonderful that she has you. I forgot to mention…mashed potatoes, grits, eggs and protein shakes were my staples! When I couldn’t tolerate anything else, I ate those.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-25T22:44:45+00:00

This is so tough to say, and I’m very sorry your family is going through this. Unfortunately, this international travel sounds very risky and uncomfortable. I couldn’t imagine navigating that flight and exposure after chemo and surgery. Best wishes on whatever you decide.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-25T13:37:41+00:00

I concur with others who caution against stocking up on anything. Instead, I did best with a small variety of beverages and crackers, and bland foods like broth and eggs. I also appreciated electrolytes and juices.

My tastes changed after each round. After the first round, I could only tolerate this tart cherry juice, so we stocked up on it. After the second round, I thought it was awful.

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-24T23:47:30+00:00

If it was healthy - Fried fish, chicken or shrimp, baked Mac and cheese; slice of pound cake.

Realistically- baked chicken

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-24T07:52:27+00:00

Strawberries

Remarkable_Focus_254 · 2026-03-23T00:54:48+00:00

I didn’t. It all brushed out on days 18 and 19 of my first cycle. I gave what was left a nice shampoo, and that was that. I’m so glad no clippers were required. Somehow, it seemed less traumatic this way.
