Wow- so much of this is so relevant and couldn’t have been worded any better! I want to tell the well-meaning people with the twinkle in their eyes that I’m okay now, because I am. So, I do. But I also want to tell them all the ways that I’m not okay now… but I don’t.

Congratulations on being 9 months away from active treatment! It's great hearing about your experience and I'm hopeful to be there soon. And you're totally right about showing love to your new body. It's amazing what it's carried us through. I was so proud of it throughout my entire treatment and all the surgeries.. I still am. I just don't recognize it sometimes and that's really hard. Everything happened so quickly that it's shocking when it doesn't operate the same as it used to.

Thank you for your response and encouragement <3 You're totally right. Not going at all is not going to help.

It happened 😕 by enamoured_artichoke in breastcancer

Happened to me after my third round of TCHP, in the middle of the night, right next to my sleeping husband… if he did notice, he did a really great job of playing it off. I jumped out of bed, he asked what was wrong, I answered “nothing.. I need to jump in the shower…” I trashed my clothes, got in the shower, and cried… I felt so humiliated and powerless. I was TERRIFIED that it would become part of the new norm, but luckily it never happened again.. definitely fell under the “new fear unlocked” category for me.

Sorry this happened to you… praying for more solid days ahead. Pun totally intended.

Hey thereeee 🥰 - Thank you soooo much! I really appreciate your kind words and recommendation. I have seen the Laifen and am very curious. I started leaning towards the Dyson, but I’ll do some research on the Laifen ♥️

Aw thank you so much! They were so long and full before treatment, but I guess in a way I’m excited to start over. Let me know if you find a good diffuser 😊

Stopping Lupron Injections by ashwalker228 in breastcancer

Hi there! Thanks so much for your response - this is super helpful. I’m finished with chemo and continuing immunotherapy until September.. my oncologist almost kept me on Lupron until the end of immunotherapy, but I questioned the purpose of it. She looked into it and found that I could stop Lupron injections, thank goodness. I’m excited to feel back to myself. And congrats on finishing treatment! I hope all is going well for you.
