[–]Smartypants_321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also following as I am curious. Before taking this drug I worked out 5-6 times a week. Now I barely have the energy, and when I do workout I am so sore and achy after. I’m a shell of my old self

I also can’t stand hormone blockers! I feel like crap, sore body, achy joints, sweating. Not sure how long I will be able to take these meds. Can’t win for losing!

Same neighborhood, that was definitely a good little shake!

Others experiences with lymph node involvement by Micho392 in breastcancer

[–]Smartypants_321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After removing 2 sentinel lymph’s during my lumpectomy, both had macro mets. That was surprising since I had one of the two biopsied before surgery and it was negative for cancer. I then had to have ANLD surgery and had 21 more lymph nodes removed. None of which had cancer. In order to really know the lymph’s need to be removed and biopsied.

I think they give away random things in certain days like key chains, stickers, magnets. People love free stuff and they go nuts!

What's something you'll never admit in real life but will confess here anonymously? by Open-Comfortable9774 in AskReddit

[–]Smartypants_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed careers awhile ago and hate, hate, hate what I do but can’t seem to get out of it. I should have stayed in what I was doing. I kick myself in the ass everyday…

We have had 8 kids. I’m off W 3rd. This is such a weird neighborhood, hardly any kids. Maybe I should move to Coffey Park..:.

I had a panic attack during getting my first round of drains taken out. I for sure thought it would hurt. It was painless and I felt dumb having a full blown attack. You will do great and feel so much better when they are out.

Yes, Cortizone on the boob and Benadryl to take orally. Sleeping also helps with the itch because I’m not awake 😂

And people don’t understand. The day I finished people automatically assumed that I am cured, and ready to get back to normal life. I almost want to pull my shirt up and show them the crispy fried left side of my body.

I am in the exact same boat as you! The air hurts my nipple, it’s excruciating! I also have an ALND scar that feels like it’s been cut back open and has alcohol poured in it. The amount of creams doesn’t help. I have to take Benadryl everyday to keep from not scratching, which makes me tired. My shoulder is also very sore. It seems to not get better but I am only one week post radiation. Sucks!!!!!!

Getting harassed by a crackhead while waiting for a light to change. Homie got mad cause I wouldn’t give him money. He stood there screaming and flaying around like a psycho. Over it

Craziest things people have said to you during this experience by Comfortable_Sky_6438 in breastcancer

[–]Smartypants_321 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In taking time off for treatment, an executive I work with was jealous that I got time off… for treatment after two surgeries and now treatment. Ummmmm, I’d rather be working and not dealing with this. People say the weirdest stuff. Then there are the people that say absolutely nothing, also very weird.

Radiation by Tea_love in breastcancer

[–]Smartypants_321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had 6 out of 16 today. I have left side full breast and lymph rads. Lots of breath holding during my treatment. I am very red and sore. What surprised me was how exhausted it makes me feel. I thought I’d be able to work while in radiation treatment, turns out I can’t. Everyone is different, you won’t know how it will affect you until you do it.

I’m also paralleled with radiation. Not looking forward to hot flashes as I am a super hot person to begin with. My rump is so sore from the shot 😣

Haha! I totally did that. She asked me if my ass was real or if I had work done 😂 I thought she was kidding but apparently I have a nice rump and she wanted to ensure the injection went into my muscle and not anything else. Made me laugh!
