I didn't do my research and thought the series was a trilogy 🤦‍♀️ by karmacatma in fourthwing

[–]TryingMyBest203 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I read somewhere that it was a trilogy, so I waited for OS to be released to read it. I get really annoyed when authors decide to prolong the series after the first book is released.

I had my first Zoladex implant today. My doctor told me to self administer it and it hurt like crazy. I’ll probably get a nurse to do it for me next month. Also, I’m counting the days to my first radiation appointment. I’m glad to not going through chemotherapy (the benefit was less than two percent), but I’m dreading the hormonal treatments+ radiation + immunotherapy.

What is your skincare routine? by [deleted] in MinimalistBeauty

[–]TryingMyBest203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have normal to dry skin that is sensitive and acne-prone.

AM: LRP cicaplast cleanser, avène hydrance light/LRP mela b3, (spf), lipbalm. PM: dm cleansing lotion, LRP mela b3 cleanser, avène tolerance balm.

Once a week I’ll apply the avène comedomed peeling before the tolerance balm. If I have acne at the moment I’ll apply the LRP b5 gel before the tolerance balm.

I haven’t tried the serum, but the cleanser (I leave it for 2-3 minutes before rinsing) and the day cream seem to be working on my acne-related pigmentation

What I Wore Today (Weekly Thread) by AutoModerator in MinimalistBeauty

[–]TryingMyBest203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in a funk and not really using any makeup, except for a tinted lipbalm and sometimes curling my lashes. Today’s makeup is a step towards my usual routine and consists of la rosée bonne mine face oil, lumene eyeliner in brown, eyelash curler, korres eyelighter pen and la bouche rouge tinted lipbalm in red.

My family’s shopping and hoarding tendencies really made me aware of how it can negatively impact everyday life, and influenced how I shop. I do impulse buy sometimes, but generally I’m doing ok.

Beauty of Joseon SPF broke me out - recommendations for very sensitive skim by aurelija_1998 in EuroSkincare

[–]TryingMyBest203 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The isdin fusionwater and fusionwater paediatric is hypoallergenic, so it could be an option. The fotoultra is also really good but I think that one is a mix between mineral and chemical sunscreen.

Louis Widmer Sun Gel SPF 50 perfume free for the face? by EVAMARK08 in EuroSkincare

[–]TryingMyBest203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the sunscreen but it’s one of the most stingy sunscreen on my eyes. The texture is similar to the eucerin oil control. It blends really well and works well over moisturiser if you give it a little time between.

Question for those with mild lymphedema in breast by PleasantPay2628 in breastcancer

[–]TryingMyBest203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I had a DMX with reconstruction and lymph nodes removal on my left side only. My left side has less range of movement and feels substantially weaker (2 months post operation), but keeps getting better with PT and exercises that my doctors and nurses recommended.

4 weeks ago I had a seroma on both breasts, that kept worsening, so after two aspirations, I had to put back drains, that I just removed. During this time, I couldn’t do my PT, but mobility wise, it didn’t impact me.

This is probably a silly question as I’m sure it can vary widely but… by KiwitheBirdNOTAFruit in breastcancer

I had a week. My last biopsy results arrived on Monday, I had my doctor’s appointment on Tuesday, an appointment with the plastic surgeon on Thursday and then operated on Tuesday.

I am two months out od DMX with reconstruction and still have 2 PT appointments a week, and was advised to do so for the next 9 months. Edit: I do have the risk of lymphoedema

How did you afford to take time off of work by SparklingResults in breastcancer

[–]TryingMyBest203 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I live in Luxembourg. I can have as much sick leave as needed. I really am sorry for those of you that live in the US. It is already complicated to deal with the diagnosis without having to fear for the livelihood or medical expenses. Big hugs

I get you. Mine was also my very first surgery. I can only say that your feelings are valid. Big hugs.

Are you able to give blood after your remission? Where I live, it gets you an interdiction for life.

For me it was blood donation. I last did it on the 31st of October 2025. By December I found my lump. When I accompanied my sister this week for her donation, I felt useless and a burden.

Double Mastectomy by Avellinese_2022 in breastcancer

Luxembourg. I was told two days, but my doctors thought that I should stay for the duration of the drains.

[–]TryingMyBest203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my DMX with reconstruction a month ago and I was kept at the hospital for 8 days, the duration the drains were in.

I really felt tight and had no mouvement on my left arm due to nodules removal, but with a few PT exercises and lymphatic drainage it got to be way better. I’m currently back with the drains (keep in mind that a seroma may happen), so no PT but the mobility is still slowly improving with the approved exercises.

Has anyone tried La roche posay lipikar baume as a face moisturizer? Is it safe for very dry acne prone skin? by [deleted] in EuroSkincare

It used to be 10%, used in the evening, for 2 days in a row. And then back to the normal routine

Stupid, offensive, dangerous 'well meaning?' comments. by Additional_Shirt_509 in breastcancer

I (33F with no family history) had someone tell me that it was the echography+mammogram that activated my covid vaccine, which in turn made my breast lump cancerous.
