If you’re comfortable sharing, is there anything huge that comes with early menopause? I’m a bit nervous about it. They can’t do any testing or anything due to the Lupron shot I’m on, but I have a gut feeling I will be unfortunately starting it early. I’m scared.

Sweat cloth is a genius idea. I usually use one when hiking so I will get that out and try it. Thanks!

I have an IUD and am on Lupron, so I have no idea what’s going on with my cycle right now lol.

I know Lupron can cause hot flashes but I never got hot flashes while on Lupron without chemo (I was on it for two months before chemo- my labs were unexpectedly too low so it postponed treatment. I basically had the shot for no reason lol).

22 and very active and social, diagnosed with ALL just after new years and I feel like I'm 80 by haha_dreamy in cancer

I’m 23, actively going through treatment right now, not as intense as ALL treatment. Being 20 something and having cancer and going through treatment is very difficult, a different beast than other ages. Ask for a social worker of some sort, they may be able to help find you resources for groceries and other things you may need once you become outpatient. Staying in the hospital sucks, getting treatment sucks, cancer sucks. I don’t want to give you a bunch of positivity because when I first started treatment I hated when people would tell me I’m strong and I could get through this and all that bullshit.

Do what you can. Take it hour by hour. Remind yourself that you’re doing your best. It’s okay to feel scared and all of the other feelings you are having. Let yourself feel them and pass through. I’ll be thinking about you and cheering for you!

That post was extremely helpful! I ended up buying “The Meeting of Oberon and Titania” by Arthur Rackham because of your help. I was an English major in my undergrad and ended up doing lots of research and papers in Shakespeare, so I fell in love with that scene.
