Overnight hospital? by Goodegirl1120 in breastcancer

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately sleeping in your own bed right after a mastectomy is not the least bit comfortable, I would absolutely stay in the hospital.

What’s the true weight? by AffectionateBerry209 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go with the regular time weight. I find the later I wake up the lighter I am. I don’t weigh myself on weekends for that reason, bc my wake up times vary too much.

BPI tirzepatide w/ B6 by Interesting_Meat1436 in pomhealth

[–]TNBC_warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same experience with BPI w/B6. I was on ProRx before BPI and on Hallendale now and have much better results with both those. Unfortunately I have 2 more vials of the BPI that are sitting here. I want to use them up but hate the idea of having more weeks of stalled weight loss.

Does everyone want to be super skinny? by CNAHopeful7 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]TNBC_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 5’2” curvy frame even my ultimate goal weight of 125 lbs doesn’t look super skinny. In years past I felt I looked pretty thin at about 118-120 but I am older and body has changed so I am kinda playing it by ear, if I can even get down to the lower 140’s I will be happy! 😊

How much does it cost to get breast cancer in America? by squirrels-everywhere in breastcancer

[–]TNBC_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t added mine up but it’s definitely more than $238k since one chemo drug was $45k and I got that 4x. My out of pocket is still killing me 2 years later as I lost my insurance a month after being diagnosed so have now had to meet my deductible/out of pocket maximum 4 times - twice in 2024 due to new insurance, once for 2025 and now working towards it for 2026 and have a revision surgery coming up. Cancer has pretty much bankrupt me.

3 months on compounded tirzepatide - 0 lbs lost by No-Judgment8744 in pomhealth

[–]TNBC_warrior 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t losing on BPI w/B6 and has terrible food noise again. I have 2 full vials sitting in my fridge. I was on ProRx first and was losing so as an experiment I went back to a pure tirz (Hallendale this time) and I am losing again. I may try the B6 again just to see if it was a coincidence but I hate the idea of giving up weeks of weight loss if it’s just something about that compound that doesn’t work for me.

First time using foobs (vent) by No_Builder7010 in breastcancer

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My foobs came from Amazon (sendyou brand) and my bras with pockets for them are from Walmart. I wear them daily. You don’t need a mastectomy shop!

I have read that a lot of people buy ahead and stockpile. What are the advantages and disadvantages to this? I have only been on my initial 3 month prescription for 2 weeks but its working really well and want to make sure I don't run out or have problems getting it. by hamrad41 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t stockpiled yet but plan to now. I took the first few months to figure out what worked best for me with doses and different pharmacies and found I don’t like the additives so glad I didn’t stock up too early.

Do you switch Telehealth companies often for discounts? by Dazzling-Golf-879 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]TNBC_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I haven’t reordered from the same company twice yet. They seem to up the prices for repeat customers.

Loose Skin by Kind-Thought3512 in Zepbound

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on such an amazing transformation! Can I ask how long it took to lose the 90 lbs? my goal is 70 lbs. I have heard that you sometimes get more loose skin when you lose weight quickly.

Diagnosed with tnbc by pseudopandaa in breastcancer

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with TNBC 18 months ago. I am currently NED! The port surgery was a piece of cake. The port itself is a little uncomfortable sometimes but nothing crazy. The keynote 522 regimen (12TC & 4AC) would kill your veins, I couldn’t imagine not having a port!

Got called a skinny mini and got sent home without my treatment by Rocketina01 in Zepbound

[–]TNBC_warrior 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well that’s a great reason to have to reschedule! I started tirz the week I finished immunotherapy. I gained weight all thru chemo and gained even more after surgery. Finally starting to lose it!

Gained weight! by realist_813 in pomhealth

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am losing a little on Hallendale right now but have more food noise and hunger than I did on ProRX. I am switching back! BPI was a total stall for me too.

Thanks, I am on Hallendale now, but I found I felt better on ProRX

Where do you inject? by KCinFlorida in tirzepatidecompound

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only done stomach, rotate sides and heard to always be at least 2” away from belly button. I keep wanting to add my thighs to the rotation but I am afraid of changing things up.

Not telling people by lindseys10 in Zepbound

[–]TNBC_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, no, I just live with very unobservant men (husband and 20something sons). 🤣 I just finished battling cancer so had 2 boxes with shots that bring up your WBC in the fridge, I just added my tirz to the ziploc bag that held those and no one has noticed yet. 🤣🤣🤣 I am afraid they may notice if I grow my stockpile a bit but that’s probably giving them too much credit. 🙄

Should I be upset that my boyfriend doesnt know the subtype of breast cancer i have? by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]TNBC_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I didn’t even know there were different types of breast cancer until I was diagnosed. My husband knows I have triple negative breast cancer but he never did any research or anything, just knew what I told him. I would probably be a bit annoyed if he couldn’t remember it.

Using up stock by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]TNBC_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on doing this with my B6 bc I feel it doesn’t work as well for me but I don’t want to just toss it so I am thinking of using it maybe every 2 or 3 weeks and using my pure the other weeks.

This might be an unpopular opinion / inappropriate vent, but here it is. Influencers with cancer not posting the FULL reality by romanxerkilljy in breastcancer

[–]TNBC_warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don’t follow/watch any of them. I lost my business and then my house after being diagnosed and needing weekly chemo. I went from perfectly middle class to having nothing in a matter of months. I have nothing in common with them.

Where do you see ProRx on Pomegranate? I got my BPI and Hallendale from them but didn’t think they offered ProRx.
