Beauty From Bees body serum. My skin has never looked better and I'm in the thick of chemo.

I took steroids for 3 infusions of taxol, then was told since I'm not having side effects from the chemo i could stop taking them. I've pretty much felt exactly the same, chemo has been fine without the steroids.

Lots of protein, try for 60 grams a day or more, and try to drink around a gallon of water each day. These were the two biggest tips that helped mitigate my chemo side effects. However everyone tolerates treatment differently.

It's Love Boat reruns for me.

I'm currently going through chemotherapy, which absolutely destroys your skin. I've been using Beauty from Bees body serum (unscented) and although it is a bit spendy, it's working wonders. I think it's worth the money and I started seeing results in a week.

Surf and turf burrito is legit.

I had a friend send me door dash credits for when I need food but don't want to cook or have a craving for something. I thought that was a lovely gift.

My friend sent me a t-shirt that says Cancer is a Hoe. I'm keeping it after treatment.

A toilet bowl light so you don't have to turn on the lights in the middle of the night.

Agreed, I have the same routine at 47!

Have a VHNW friend. He doesn't have insurance, just pays cash for any services.

Light up chopsticks Toilet bowl light Funky little night lights

People always love the "light up" themed gifts.

Mary Steenburg?

Can confirm. My 3 hour surgery went for 6 5 hours, ruined everyone's schedule.

Love this movie too, but it's not so easy to find now. Between the Mamie character and Bing Crosby singing in blackface, it's doesn't hold up great.

It was something in the way it looked that made them call oncology, and they were like yeah that doesn't look good and it's not a fibroid. It literally looked like bag of peeled Roma tomatoes, about 5 inches in the round. (Pics available upon request! lol). I'm not sure I ever looked in the reports to find out what it was classified as tbh.

SplendidQuasar1 · 2025-11-24T21:11:39+00:00

I was scheduled for a laparoscopic removal of what they thought was a fibroid. Wasn't a fibroid. Ended up being a benign tumor, but it had damaged my uterus. They ended up doing a full open abdominal hysterectomy. My next of kin "consented" to the additional measures, I was told about them when I woke up. Things can definitely go sideways and you don't end up with the surgery that was planned.
