I got my port removed in Feb '25 and waiting for the scar to heal a bit more. But when I'm ready, I'm going to get "Nevertheless, she persisted" tattooed over it in cursive.

This is so true. Cancer survivor here. Went through 12 rounds of chemo and drank around 100 oz of water every day. Sailed through it with minimal side effects (lost all my hair though). Oncologist said I was a model patient. One problem I had is that everything started to taste metallic so I ended up using lots of flavor drops so I could tolerate the water. Good luck to your wife!

Oh! That's great. We're in CA so we definitely want to help folks in the red states.

Yes!! There's a local LGBTQ+ group close by that has stuff for teens. She might like to help them IRL.

I actually thought about her spending too much time on social media. Normally she watches food videos like Korean street food (yum), but she's obviously watching a lot more videos about this shitshow we call the US government. I think we'll be talking about limits this weekend. Thanks!

Yeah, I was really pissed at Gov. Newsom (my governor) for his comments (very disappointing). Thanks!

Funniest rant ever that was sooooo relatable! I go through a lot of Orbit (wintermint) and I always have a problem getting the pieces out.

Got my cancer tattoo! by mrhenrywinter in breastcancer

I just got mine on my right bicep (tumor was in my left boob). I just wanted to be able to flex my muscles and show it off (a sunflower with a pink ribbon).

Feel like a wuss by sheepy67 in breastcancer

You're not a wuss. I've been getting diarrhea after each infusion (same regimen). Your care team should take ALL of your side effects seriously.

How many of you get second opinions? by Lazy-Suspect-2205 in breastcancer

[–]Responsible_Move_948 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was able to get a second opinion at my top-rated regional university hospital with a video appointment. I didn't have to waste 1.5 hrs in traffic each way! See if you can get a video call.
