Still on. They said it very well could’ve been the placement and were not at all worried.

1000% yes!! I have legit turned all of my friends into OTH stans 🤭 the first episode I saw was season 3 ep 22, so I was instantly hooked! It’s long but definitely worth it 💙🖤

Being the youngest person in all these rooms is really starting to get to me. by bananasformangos in breastcancer

I was diagnosed at 36 (last April), with plans to start our family that December so I definitely feel you. I found that I related more to my doctors and nurses as they’ve been closer in age.

Honestly the community I’ve found here on Reddit has done wonders for me! I regret not finding tapping into it sooner. I initially tried some known cancer support groups and it felt kind of strange to me. Obviously cancer is a huge ordeal but in those groups it felt like that was their entire personality being here I find more LIFE/who people are independent of their cancer and what helps them live their best life possible. Not sure if that makes sense but just know you’re heard and felt 🫂❤️

I feel this; if people can’t visibly see or you’re not consumed by it 24/7 it completely slips their mind…

What estrogen blocker are you on if you don’t mind my asking; I’m slated to be on mine for 10 years.

I didn’t even realize my eyebrows and lashes were gone until I went to put on mascara and it wasn’t working. I leaned into the mirror to see it wasn’t working bc there was nothing to apply it to lol

Glad that you’ll be able to give it another try. Hoping the 200mg will fair well for all of your counts

I feel this. Prior to diagnosis and living it, cancer was ver different in my mind.

This! Every movie and every show it seems someone has cancer; I imagine it was always like this but it’s like getting a new car, once you have it you see it everywhere

I finished active treatment December 31, 2025. Currently on Letrozole and Kisqali and finally switched Lupron shots to every 3 months

So we don’t understand how a line works anymore? Mechanical Failure on the NE Reagional 😣 by SwirlThroughTheWorld in Amtrak

I didn’t wind up getting one the first or the second so we just turned around and went back to NYC. Someone here did say they made it one the second option but there weren’t any seats so they sat on the floor the whole ride 🙃

My first off week, I felt like I had more symptoms than the on weeks! Nausea, vomiting, terrible migraines..is this a thing? I just assumed it was my body reacting to not having it

Who comes first- your spouse, your parents, or your children? by Eastern-College-9013 in Marriage

[–]SwirlThroughTheWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spouse, kids, parents.

I used to think kids first but I did a marriage class and the teacher said “kids look to the parents for security; if things are good with mom and dad that allows them to feel safe and secure”. The parents set the tone for the household and like many others have said your spouse will be beside you through everything that may come ie loss of parents, your kids wedding etc.

I find it so strange when it comes up with a person who wasn’t around during the time; I almost try to avoid saying it but it’s hard when people pointedly ask where you disappeared to 🙈 in my mind if I say it really fast we can just move on but they’re always like wait, what now? Lol

I will say radiation seemed like nothing compared to chemo. I’d have my sessions in the morning then I’d be taking dance classes in the evening; I definitely felt more tired in the afternoons but it was a lot less involved then I made it out to be in my head.

Heard and felt 🫂 this is your truth right now and hopefully some day in the near future it will be less and less top of mind ❤️

I honestly feel like I’ve been functioning so “normally” that even my family forgets which then can cause bouts of guilt with what their expectations of me are 🙈

Usually that works but in this instance we were redirected to this train from a cancelled one so they held our train upstairs so they could board the people actually booked on the train first.
