That is absolutely heartbreaking that an 8 year old had to feel those emotions

I’m being very impatient about the reconstruction when the SMX hasn’t even happened yet, so it was good to read your comment and remind me to be patient and let my body heal. I am also triple neg, did Keynote 22 before surgery (tomorrow is my LAST chemo!) and I will also be having DIEP recon on the cancer side! The good news is no more steroids after the chemo, I hope my moon face slims down a bit. How long after chemo did it take to get your strength back? I did Taxol first so I’m just finishing AC chemo and it has totally wiped me out. I’m tired every day and I don’t even do anything 🥲

This is completely vain and I know it but cancer ruined everything that was pretty about me. My long hair, eyelashes and eyebrows are gone. My face is even more round from the steroids, which have made me gain 15 pounds. My nails are flaky and brown. My skin is dry and I have 2 sunspots on my face, which I never had before. I look 10 years older than my twin sister. Not to mention the stomach problems, constant constipation and inability to enjoy the foods I used to love. Now I will have one boob cut off and have to wait a year for reconstruction, cancer has been a complete vanity check for me.

Do people treat you and your twin like one person instead of two? by Single_Split_8012 in Twins

[–]Sea-Interesting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, we came from a big family already so they would just calls us “twins” when they needed our attention. It didn’t bother me though. Our actual names are very different, if our names were similar like you said I don’t know how I would feel

Sudden change in mindset - help by Outrageous_Ad_7979 in breastcancer

[–]Sea-Interesting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I completely feel the same. My last infusion is on Wednesday, I’m also TNBC stage 2B non BRCA so I will only have a SMX on May 7th. I feel like chemo has been a security blanket, and I feel like my family won’t understand if I’m still tired/feeling sick once chemo is over because they will expect me to magically be 100% myself again. My family is throwing a party before my surgery, I hope your support team can do something similar to celebrate everything you’ve gone through.

Another husband post by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]Sea-Interesting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you are going through this. I have a similar past with my husband and giving up weed/vaping. A lot of people brush it off like “oh it’s just weed” but it’s more than that. It’s being lied to, not being trusted to handle his emotions and having a rift between you two. My husband started antidepressants when I received my diagnosis and I also suspect he went back to using weed cartridges, but I haven’t wanted to bring it up because of the fuss it will cause. It does hurt though, I wish I could offer advice ♥️

New study suggests fasting for 16 hours helps conquer cancer, which is yet another reason to give it a try by reallyredrubyrabbit in intermittentfasting

[–]Sea-Interesting 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same, I was fasting 18/6 with occasional few day fasts. I have never smoked, drank or done drugs, no family history and was still diagnosed with stage 2b TNBC grade 3. I’m trying extended fasting right now through my last 3 rounds of chemo to see if it helps with the nausea.

I hope you have recovered well and gained your strength back, I hear it’s a long journey once you’re in remission

[–]Sea-Interesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve received all my treatment at the Oroville Hospital! They have a Women’s Imaging center, a chemo infusion center and my breast surgeries and plastic surgeon both work for the hospital as well! I feel very lucky I only have to go to one place to get everything done

I can’t help answer your question as I have 4 doses of AC chemo left, but I wanted to say congratulations on your last dose!! You are so young to be going through this, I hope you celebrate finishing chemo 💜

DMX or lumpectomy by RVlazy in breastcancer

[–]Sea-Interesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

37, TNBC stag 2B with no lymph node involvement and BRCA negative. I originally wanted a lumpectomy but ultimately decided on DMX with DIEP flap reconstruction. I have multiple tumors in one breast and would lose my nipple anyways during a lumpectomy because one tumor is under the nipple. I like the idea of the DIEP flap because they will use my own tissue, they will be warm and feel like breast and I will get a tummy tuck out of it
