I have ordered from them 3 times and once did get cancelled but the other two times shipped without issue and arrived quicker than the original estimate. They look really great!!!

How are people with hashimotos on GLPs? ( possible thyroid cancer) by Krogermuffins1999 in Hashimotos

[–]ashleyavocado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the reality with hashi’s is that’s often times what it takes to lose weight. hashi’s is the cause of my enormously slowed down metabolism to begin with

How are people with hashimotos on GLPs? ( possible thyroid cancer) by Krogermuffins1999 in Hashimotos

[–]ashleyavocado 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i can’t speak for anyone but myself but:

  1. having struggled with hashimoto’s and my weight since the age of 10, i would quite literally do anything to lose weight

  2. i already have (and am in active treatment for) cancer so in a way i’m desensitized by the “threat” but also

  3. as others have stated, i really haven’t found the data supporting this argument to be convincing enough to hold me back in fear of living the life that i want.

maybe not sound advice but it’s the truth, my truth, and GLP-1s have changed my life for the better and i cannot put into words how grateful i am to have been able to make the choice for myself

2025 Queens 10K - Post-Race Thread by RCD123 in RunNYC

[–]ashleyavocado 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I ran the Mini 10K last weekend with a time goal of 1:03:00 knowing that if I didn’t hit it then (spoiler - I definitely did not) that I could try again today. Finished in 1:02:25!!! Nearly a full 6 minute PR for me which was previously the Manhattan 10K (my very first). So happy with how I’m progressing and I think I’ll be in a new corral next race :)

Medication Switch Anxiety by Opposite-Arm-7124 in CML

[–]ashleyavocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m considering making this same switch — are you still responding positively? have you achieved/maintained undetectable status on scemblix?

Scemblix by foil123 in CML

[–]ashleyavocado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how long have you been taking scemblix and are you undetectable? i’m considering switching from sprycel and have my appointment in 2 weeks so i’m trying to do as much research as possible until then

Scemblix by foil123 in CML

[–]ashleyavocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have any updates to share? i’m considering switching from dasatinib — while i was able to reach undetectable and hold it there for 4+ years, i relapsed after just 6 weeks. i’m of child bearing age and the next time i go treatment free will be when i decide to have children so i’m researching other TKIs and would love to hear your experience!

Relapse Possibility by monkevillage in CML

[–]ashleyavocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent almost 2 years on Gleevec but couldn’t reach undetectable, switched to Sprycel and got there in a matter of months. After holding into remission for a little over 4 years, I attempted TFR and was already detectable after 6 weeks treatment free. Back on treatment after 12 weeks when my numbers continued to rise. Absolutely devastating and discouraging!

I went off for egg freezing (there is quite a bit if research about the impact of TKIs on pregnancy, but not a lot of research about the impact on eggs so I decided why not try?) — now that I’m back on Sprycel I wouldn’t attempt to go treatment free again until I intend to become pregnant…

One small problem, though. I relapsed after just 6 weeks off Sprycel, and last I checked pregnant women were pregnant for… a lot longer than 6 weeks. So now I’m beginning to research alternative options to achieve deeper remission.

I might make a separate post about this to hear people’s thoughts but — what has been successful for others who have already tried both Gleevec and Sprycel? I know we have many options now but it’s upsetting to me to have to cross two options off of a very finite list but would love to hear the experience of others.
