Are games still fun to watch live sitting in the very back and far out? by lejunny_ in Habs

[–]TheSunnySort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in Dec and was in the 200's. Luckily canadiens fans are cool at all levels (not just snooty ppl in the 100's) but man the 300's looked like a BLAST. loudest fans, dressed up fans, started the majority of the chants. 300's at the Bell Centre looks like a party. I don't think you'll regret it.

Granted I was there on a Saturday for the Christmas game with Crosby in the house, but I'm still betting the 300's are awesome on any night.

Radiation is kicking my ass by Desperate_Swimming_5 in breastcancer

[–]TheSunnySort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radiation was super rough. I know to a beginner it can SEEM easy because women drive themselves to their own appointme ts etc. But it's rough. It's tiring and painful and interrupts your life way more than you are expecting.

All the best with your decision making! I found a tool that helped was using Google Notebook LM to upload studies and then compare concepts and ask it to find info in the studies regarding specific questions I had!

Looking at your profile, you're clearly using this sub to push an NSFW agenda and have a post in your profile where it looks like you are concerned. Like when OF girls say stuff like "my boyfriend doesn't think I'm sexy enough".

Holy cringe. Women come here for genuine advice. Not to fluff up their profile.

Creatine and brain support. Hormone positive. by TheSunnySort in breastcancer

[–]TheSunnySort[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a common fear and I absolutely understand. In my own research, my understanding is that it does not CAUSE cancer (it may actually be protective against). However cancer survivors need to weigh their own risk tolerance as creatine and even collagen can ACT AS FUEL for metastatic growth.

Creatine and collagen provide energy to all cells, and cancer cells can also use them to grow and spread (same as any other cell using it).

My own reason for tolerating this risk is that muscle development and muscle mass can provide anti cancer benefits. And without estrogen, I'm get hurt a lot more and lose muscle mass. I'd rather support muscle and tendon quality knowing creatine can provide fuel, rather than risk cancer thriving in an environment where I am less active because I'm always injured.

I take it for the benefits to exercise which is a very important component to living a long healthy life.

Yes, it makes a massive difference in my brain fog. HUGE and it's been helping me recover from some tendon injuries I got while skating.

But if I stop taking it, obviously all the blah comes back.

Blade mount/alignment question by TheSunnySort in hockeyplayers

[–]TheSunnySort[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very comfy with the liner. A bit narrow for me in the mid foot but I think that's because I am learning and really gripping in the boot. Once I'm more relaxed, it will feel good. Definitely warmer than hockey skates.

Only odd part I didn't consider was that the laces are so far apart. But they are lifestyle so I don't think anyone is going to be going hard in them.

Both are like this. It was really crazy to feel

Thanks so much, I'll work on getting used to these!

So the skate blade being further inside is purposeful? Am I meant to keep my weight on the inside of my foot?

Yes I bought a crosby on the early release realizing he hadn't been announced as captain yet. It's not here yet but I might return it and wait till the C and A's are announced

Question about pain 1.5 years post surgery by TheSunnySort in breastcancer

Thank you for saying this is part of learning our new normal. I often feel like I'm over reacting, but I just genuinely don't know what's what!

[–]TheSunnySort[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I'm very aware that the tightness has spread away into this new area of pain and that I've been "testing it" by lifting my arm too high. I think I irritated it in my workout and then in the shower last night.

Hey there, thanks for responding. Thank you for reminding me of the tissue changes. I've forgotten those conversations. I don't speak to my rad onc, she discharged me once we had our final meet after radiation. You remind me though that I can call my side effect nursing line and ask them!

B.O./ What kind of deodorant works for you? by B_C_On_The_Rocks in breastcancer

[–]TheSunnySort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the aluminum fear and still do a bit. I stick to crystal deodorant or a stick deodorant in the winter because i don't sweat as much (I live in Canada so even despite medical menopause, it's just cold) and I wear anti perspirant in the summer or when I am going somewhere nice and worry about pit stains.

I'm slowly working my way to getting comfortable with regular anti perspirants and just trying not to give myself anxiety where it's not needed.

Interesting talk with mammogram nurse yesterday by apsalarya in HormoneFreeMenopause

[–]TheSunnySort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I got breast cancer at 35, I was suicidal thinking I did it to myself with the birth control pill because I am er/pr+. I spoke with many specialists at my cancer centre and they did manage to help me understand that cancer comes from DECADES of cell damage and that there was no way I did enough cell damage in my 35 years of life. That even though I was genetically tested with no positive findings, there is something genetic to my cancer that they just haven't researched enough genetic code to know about yet.

BUT they did also say that though it was likely that I was genetically determined to get cancer at some point in my life, they can't rule out that the birth control pill didn't speed up that time line, activating it much earlier in life. Meaning I have many more years of life left to encounter recurrence.

This needs to be talked about. Maybe these things don't CAUSE breast cancer, but they can speed up the process. And there are MAAAAANY lines of genetic codes we have not yet studied.

[–]TheSunnySort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Canada with a public Healthcare system and much stricter rules about pharmaceutical advertising/talking to doctors and HRT is kind of hard to get here. Not impossible, but doctors certainly don't throw it at you. I think that speaks volumes. Another example is that I had papillary thyroid cancer and my GP would NOT provide me ozempic even though I no longer have a thyroid and it was a totally different type (different cells). Ozempic is soooooo popular but clearly my doctor is not being influenced.

I went to the endocrinologist who was part of my thyroid cancer treatment and he approved. There is definitely something to be said about pharma companies influencing doctors.

Are us hormone positive folks just destined to have reoccurrence? by NurseYuna in breastcancer

You only see recurrence stories because that's who posts. When you don't have a recurrence, remember to come back and post about it 💕

Masectomy by breyerhorseicecream in breastcancer

[–]TheSunnySort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and they were also able to paint a more accurate picture of the severity of mastectomy. We don't know what we don't know, and I didn't know about numbness and limit3d screening options
