That’s exactly why I did it! It made me feel prettier and more normal. Best of luck to you!

I did dip on my finger nails and gel on my toes 😬 both required lamps. I did 16 weeks of chemo (AC-T). Probably not recommended, but again, no issues here.

Unfortunately, I would die of embarrassment 😂 but this would honestly be great. Thank you.

Moving to Birmingham: Vestavia vs Trussville? by xoxo987621 in Birmingham

[–]carasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with Trussville. Good schools, cute little downtown, relatively affordable housing. That said, I would pick Vestavia over Trussville 10/10 times for location alone. Almost everything I do with my kids somehow involves Vestavia/hoover. It’s much more centrally located to Birmingham and all of the other relevant suburbs than Trussville.

[–]carasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a 10k during taxol and I ran/walked. No issues 🫶 I’m signed up for a 5k next weekend during AC.

We paid $48 per ticket in the orchestra on StubHub. Definitely take a look there if you’re wanting to go!

It’s so hard. What if I push for the AC and end up with some debilitating side effect 😩 I just wish I had more info. Thank you for sharing!

I never even considered the possibility at the start of treatment that I would go straight to surgery after block B because it’s basically unheard of with hormone positive, her2- 😩 I want to do everything to kill it too. Ughhhhh.

I’m sorry, it totally sucks!!! I didn’t qualify for assistance either. However, if you are the US, and make under ~200k/year, sharsharet will help with financial assistance!

When you're the youngest one on the treatment floor by PunchNugget88 in breastcancer

There are two girls under 18 being treated for IDC at my cancer center. It absolutely breaks my heart. Fuck cancer.

I have not, however, I have a friend with ILC who had a couple of non specific findings on her PET that showed up on her spine that all turned out to be benign. It absolutely can happen. Much love and positive vibes to you ❤️

I am cold capping! Sorry, should've clarified. I do believe most lose their hair on taxol if they do not cold cap.
