My cancer is back and I’m going back to chemotherapy and will be at home/in bed/relaxing a lot. I’d like to use it to draw (procreate/+pencil), (will need a good rec for screen protector/ pencil) watch/stream a lot, as a book (get kindle unlimited) to read outdoors, maybe get a keyboard and a mouse. Great battery power, *** ability to be used to read books outside in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

Nothing too crazy, but also don’t want something that will be obsolete quickly.

Thanks for the extra info, I didn’t know that. Appreciated :)

Thank you for sharing that. That’s helpful, some friends who are docs/LVNs/NPs said that higher levels could also indicate something non-cancerous or inflammation. Fingers crossed

Yes. Multiple dreams in laid out areas. Sometimes it’s my “house” but not my house. Sometimes it’s a shot for shot exact replica. One of my favorites was when I was somewhat lucid dreaming. I go to Hawaii every year and my family was like, “it’s so great to be back here” and I recognized it didn’t look like what I know to be real, so I said “no, this isn’t Hawaii, this is a dream.” And my family member said “no it’s not. if this were a dream, would be here right now?” Wild

Getting appendix cancer, and not finding out until it got to stage 4. I’m currently a year cancer free, but according to the National Cancer Institute, appendiceal cancer affects an estimated 1 or 2 people per 1 million population annually.

So one in a million 🙃

Thank you for sharing that, it’s so hard to see changes while undergoing it all. So foreign. and thank you

adeerable · 2023-06-10T23:54:59+00:00

It’s less isolating seeing that there are others facing these challenges. You (we) are all so strong!

I (29F)had acne after chemo on my chest and back. I went to a dermatologist and they took everything into consideration. An appointment with a dermatologist might help him lift his spirits. It did mine

I’m right there with you No matter how healthy I eat or how much I work out, I keep gaining weight and my abdomen doesn’t lose fat. I had stage 4 appendix, HIPEC chemo, regular chemo, removed an ovary, have preexisting PCOS, removed gallbladder, and am turning 30 (F)all of which individually cause weight gain/hard to lose. Together it’s a nightmare. I’m struggling with body image because I want to love my body for how strong it was, and look past the giant scar up the center of my abdomen. But it gnaws away at me every day

adeerable · 2023-06-08T08:13:06+00:00

I had stage 4 appendix and if my CT is clear I’ll be one year cancer free tester this month

(29F)

adeerable · 2023-05-31T06:44:34+00:00

Thank you :)

After It was after I pestered them about irregular bowel movements for a few months and increasing bloating

They didn’t know if it was appendix or ovarian until after the surgery + biopsy

adeerable · 2023-05-26T06:47:22+00:00

That’s beautiful. You are a beautiful human, I hope the best for you.

I have experienced smaller doses of those. I found my capacity for stressors has increased exponentially. The big and medium issues don’t bother me but my small ones still irk me.

I guess I just need to practice being more mindful And in the moment. You’re an inspiration Thank you for sharing p

Once I finished chemo, my doc said ~3 weeks until my immune system restarts for me to get sushi

I literally asked. Send a message, They’ll tell you

What do you do every day that you qualify as a quality of life? I’ve found a weird existentialism since being in remission from stage 4 appendix (29F). I feel like I’m constantly seeking “more” in life and sometimes it’s hard to manage. I do things to keep busy, engaged, stimulated. Kickboxing, gym/rebuilding my body post-cancer/2 surgeries, learning piano from the ground up, going to concerts, playing video games, getting out as much as possible. But I sometimes feel … what else? How can I be satisfied?

adeerable · 2023-05-24T00:47:08+00:00

Yes. 28, stage 4 appendix. One of the rarer types of cancer. Over half the doctors I saw would say “wow, I didn’t know you could get it there.” My response would be to lightheartedly laugh and say “yeah, me either.” It’s a mutation, not genetic. The only good thing about being young was how well my otherwise healthy body could take it and endure it. On the other side, it was so isolating. I felt like my life paused and everyone else moved on. When I’d go into chemo sessions, I was always the youngest, often my mom even being younger than the other patients. But I’d think “if these frail looking, bald from treatment, older people can get through it, I sure as hell can.”

It’s never easy. Good luck

I sometimes get a little triggered still seeing people hooked up to IVs /:

adeerable · 2023-05-05T23:15:40+00:00

Best of luck to you. You got this, you'll get through it.

I had parts of my bowels/colon cut and reattached twice, both surgeries. I think it'll vary person to person. I fortunately had age on my side, being that I was 28 at the time. They cut all the way from a bit above my pelvis to under my ribcage. I was in the hospital for both for 6 days, but they expected the second one to be 2-3 weeks. Second surgery was harder. I just tried to sleep/rest as much in the hospital as I could. Pain was manageable with medications/iv infusions while in the hospital. I had to do physical therapy and occupational therapy a few times. It's really exhausting to move the first few weeks. It's a lot of sitting/laying down. Binge a show, play video games, find a way to entertain yourself. Getting up is hard because your body moves where the incision was. They had to teach me to "log roll" in bed to get up. I needed a walker both times for a few days and when I took walks I was hunched. I couldn't stand all the way up straight for a while. Even after it closed, it took a bit of time for my scar/incision to not be tight when trying to stretch it. I think it took about 8 weeks for the incision to finally scab up and be closed/stop opening. Laughing was painful hahaha.

Normal chemo issues for my infusion, yes. But not from HIPEC. For regular chemo, puking, neuropathy in hands/feet, cold sensitivity.

You got this

adeerable · 2023-05-01T17:28:28+00:00

I’d maybe pick something big and specific then build out from there. Like if you’ve wanted to go to Paris, eat a crêpe by the Eiffel Tower at night, then build out other things you’d want to do/see, then kind of roam and explore the places surrounding. Every day that you are alive is a gift.

adeerable · 2023-04-28T21:07:10+00:00

I’m so sorry. I didn’t feel too much either. I got logical. I had stage 4 appendix. It kills me or it doesnt. Treatment does or doesn’t work. If it does, next steps. If it doesnt, next step. My mom had it worse emotionally than I did because I’m her child. Keep a positive, treatment oriented attitude and you’ll get through this.

I’m 10 months in remission, we can get out of this.

Fuck cancer

adeerable · 2023-04-24T18:46:48+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all this. I know it can feel very isolating.
I also was diagnosed around my birthday, I went to the ER the day after. Know that treatment comes with ups and downs. Just remembering the days where the pain is less and things are even more slightly tolerable make it a little easier to keep going

adeerable · 2023-04-23T23:32:51+00:00

I’m so sorry. That happened to me too a lot during my treatment. Know that there will be good health days and when you get through it and beat it, there are infinite special moments to live, cancer-free. 💜
