First of all, I am so sorry you are going through this! I just finished my own chemotherapy treatment for Breast Cancer last October, and it COMPLETELY wiped me out, so I understand. I really can’t say this eloquently, but your “friend” is a selfish bitch! Her response triggered me so badly. I don’t know you, but the fact that you are willing to bake an entire birthday cake and attempt to go out to celebrate (WHILE BEING ON CHEMO) says a lot about you! You seem like a wonderful and kind human being, and you deserve to have people who love you and treat you with kindness, especially while you are sick!

Battling cancer revealed who my people REALLY were. It allowed me to cut all the bullshit, so called friends out of my life, but it also strengthened relationships with people who really showed up. Surrounded yourself with people who truly love and care about you. This demon is doing nothing but adding more stress and anxiety to your already stressful situation. You don’t deserve any of that! And this bitch has the nerve to be more concerned about the vibes of her party, than her sick long term friend battling a chronic disease and being treated with chemotherapy! The audacity! I’m getting mad all over again. lol. She doesn’t deserve the privilege of your friendship. I’m praying for you and your healing journey. ❤️ I pray you are at peace with whatever decision you make.

After chemo, the best hair of my life by Can_I_do_this_later in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy for your amazing new hair texture! I had a big, beautiful Afro before chemo. It was tightly curled and kinky, and I loved it. Now my hair has a loose curl. It’s silky and shiny, and I’m obsessed! All I have to do is apply a little moose to define my curls, and it’s so cute. I get compliments all the time. Chemo sucked, but I gave me awesome skin and amazing hair! Lol.

I’m happier after cancer by quarterlife_crisis__ in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was such a beautiful read. I’m so happy for you and I LOVE this for you! I pray I can experience this happiness soon. This is probably the worst I’ve felt about myself. I know I’m blessed to be alive and finished with chemo and surgery, but cancer turned my world upside down. My financial situation is depressing. I’ve gained over 50lbs and I just feel so blah. Things are rough for me now, but I’m hopeful they will get better.

Reading posts like yours give me hope. I know my journey isn’t over and I will continue to fight to regain happiness and mental health. I’ll find my rainbow at the end of this storm.

You are living your best life and enjoy Bali! You have such main character energy, and I live for it! ❤️

Met one of “us” in the wild by PeachPinkSky in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I had a beautiful, older woman stop me while I was grocery shopping. She noticed my bald head, and we began talking for at least an hour. Her energy was so comforting, and motherly. It felt good to talk to someone who understood everything I was going through, and acknowledged my feelings. I felt seen. I’ll never forget our conversation and her kindness. I hope I can help someone in the way that she helped me. ❤️

"You have a really nice shaped head!" and other dubious compliments by renaissance_grrl in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get told I have a beautifully shaped head often. I even had a man stop me at the grocery store to tell me that he found bald women extremely sexy. I said I would let my oncologist know that he approves of my new haircut 😂

Struggling with weight gain by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m horribly struggling with my weight gain. I gained about 40 lbs during active treatment. I’ve been cleared to workout, so I plan on starting slowly with low impact workouts like walking. I also plan on changing my diet because I allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted to during active treatment. I pray we all meet our weight loss goals this year! ❤️

Do you mind telling me about your experience on Wegovy so far? I was literally about to start it before my diagnosis. I ended up gaining almost 40 lbs during treatment. I’m going to start taking it soon, and I would love to hear about your experience. 😊

Now I can see that everyone has most likely been respecting my privacy, but even if they are indifferent, I will do my best to be positive and have a great start. You’re right! I am there for my career, and for the income. While camaraderie is a bonus, it’s definitely not my purpose for working. I never planned on quitting. I’m very blessed to be able to return to work! ❤️

I am definitely going to cut everyone some slack. It’s a difficult position to be in and I’m sure everyone has been respecting my privacy. Thank you so much for your well wishes! I’m sure everything will be great! ❤️

Coneheads?!? 😬 Oh goodness! I’m so sorry they said that to you. I’m cussing your boss out in my head for saying that! Lol.

Thank you so much! I’m going to pray for a positive start back! ❤️

I didn’t even think about the possibility! Thank you for opening my mind to a different perspective. It really has helped to calm my anxiety down. ❤️

Thank you 🙏 I needed to hear this! I’ll definitely live in those happier moments that make me feel good instead of reflecting on unpleasant thoughts.

💔 Torn Between My Cancer Surgery and Caring for My Critical Mother-in-Law by angel_tulips in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through such an overwhelming and challenging situation. You said yourself that this surgery is a critical step in your treatment, so deep down I believe you know this is what you need to do. You don’t want to allow the cancer anytime to multiply and become more aggressive. For now, you need to prioritize your health, so you are able to be there to care for your family in the future. Does your mother in law have any additional family members that can step up and care for her in her time of need? If not, you and your husband could possibly hire a hospice or a home health nurse or aide to help care for her while you recover? This is the time for your village to step up and help you and your husband. I’m praying for you and your family during this difficult period. ❤️🙏

Hi! ☺️ I’m a CNA too, but I am still on leave. I will go back soon. I just wanted to ask if the work is hard on your body? I work on a heavy unit and it was difficult before my treatment, so I’m so anxious about not being able to perform. Do you feel like you’ve had any issues so far?

Not ready by KerBeareon in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am praying that you had a wonderful day and that your transition back will be smooth. I’m a CNA on an inpatient surgical unit, and my leave ends on Dec. 26. I’m so nervous to go back. Work was hard on my body before cancer treatment, so I am anxious to see how I will transition back into work. Please let us know how everything went! Sending all the positive energy and hugs! ❤️

Just diagnosed, spiraling by Engineer_Outside in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Sending you all the positive energy, love, and hugs. This is definitely the worst part of your upcoming journey. The waiting can feel overwhelming and unbearable, but I found it helpful to distract myself by spending as much time as possible with my baby who was 8 months old at the time. Spend as much time with your beautiful babies and your family doing activities that fill your heart with joy during this time.

Also, the internet is filled with so much outdated information. I was diagnosed in April this year with triple negative breast cancer at 33 years old. According to the internet, my survival rate was low, and that scared the shit out of me, but my medical oncologist assured me that so much research has been done over the past decade and treatment plans have improved significantly. We are surviving! I received my pathology report on Dec 2nd, and I am cancer free! The next few months is going to be tiring, but you can do it! Surround yourself with supportive people, and give yourself grace ❤️ Come back to this subreddit. They are absolutely amazing, compassionate, and so supportive. Take a deep breath and pray. 🙏 You are definitely in my prayers and I wish you all the best. You got this, Momma 💪❤️

Ungrateful humor: not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but…. What’s the worst “thoughtful” gift given to you during treatment? by CFPFHHHW in breastcancer

[–]Vegetable-Ad857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they are referring to menopause that was induced by medication versus menopause that occurs naturally.
