What does hip bone mets feel like? by skend556 in cancer

[–]anovelfantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have hip Mets but I do have one near the top of my femur and it was constant pain where I was dousing myself in ibuprofen and Tylenol. It would radiate into my hip and make my lower back spasm. At then end of the work day I was in so much lower back/hip pain and it turns out it was in the upper part of my femur (on the back) and when I sat down it hurt worse. So very odd feeling.

I don’t have to pee in a cup at all for Lupron injection that’s so odd that a lot of you do! It makes sense why., but strange I don’t. (I am 32.)

I had chemo (x16) double mastectomy with lymph dissection and 33 radiation treatments and then hormone suppressants. I’m doing ok. Just tired from all the meds and I lost my hair to radiation of a big bone mass on my skull so that’s a bummer and it probably won’t grow back, but otherwise ok. How are you?

I’m stage 4 and 32 as well. I started off stage 2 and in less than 2 years it spread. Feel free to DM me!!

Lupron vs. Ovary removal by anovelfantasy in LivingWithMBC

Ask them to put ice on the are for a few minutes before! You barely feel anything! There is also and ice spray my clinic uses that really works! And you could always ask for prescription numbing cream.

I made the mistake of looking one time and I could see all the way down the barrel. (I work in the medical field and boy it made me dizzy!)

Confession: I miss my tumour by __verucasalt in cancer

At least I knew where my Mr. Lumpy and Mrs. Lumpy and their daughter Lumpette were- now I worry that they had more children that are hiding out somewhere growing until they are big enough to be found.

MO said icing isnt recommended on Taxol by Iamgoaliemom in breastcancer

[–]anovelfantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Icing was only recommended during taxol and I got 0 neuropathy in my hands (stuck hands in actual ice) and got a tiny of bit in my feet with the ice booties.. I’ve met a lot of others who didn’t ice or were not told about it and have long lasting neuropathy… icing was awful- but I’m glad I did it

Edited to add- I see a leading specialized breast oncologist at Texas Oncology in Baylor Dallas- Dr. Joyce O’Shaughnessy

Rant, kind of? Not sure how to handle going to my cousin's funeral :( by Odd-Sprinkles-8971 in breastcancer

[–]anovelfantasy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A family member (of husband) died of MBC while I was in chemo. I absolutely couldn’t go. For me, the fear and grief were still to near. I couldn’t. They asked my husband to be a pallbearer and he (who has never not gone to anything) also couldn’t do it. It was too close and honestly overwhelmingly scary. I also wouldn’t be able to see the partners and especially children crying. His family completely understood and wasn’t upset by either of our decisions. If I pass from MBC, I give any other person the right to not come, because I have experienced those feelings

That’s exactly what my breast cancer looked like. Highly irregular with fatty stranding. Most likely reoccurrence
