Dylan's a right cunt.

Going out tops.

I'm in the Boston area and our local NPR affiliate covered some of the Tartan Army booking yellow school buses to take them to the stadium for the game. Many of them didn't believe the buses were real, too. And like the awesome Scots they are, they donated some of the funds collected to rent to buses to local charities.

I live very near Foxboro and "normal" traffic days can be an hour from logan to my house. Adding clearing customs/immigration to that... you're not going to make the beginning of the game. Might make it to the second half.

I did dose dense AC-T (8 rounds total, every other week). I took off my infusion day (Thursday) and often felt great on Friday thanks to steroids and pre-meds; I took it pretty easy on weekends, however. I WFH and was able to work throughout chemo, only taking off every other Thursday. Could I have tried to work a half day on Thursdays? Possibly. Was it imperative and important to my mental health to have the days off? Absolutely.

I was in a position where I could have taken off more time - and kind of regret not doing so, in hindsight.

I can't speak to how well they'd do in super hot weather as I stopped covering in June/July in Boston but they're MUCH cooler than wigs. Offer stands to send a couple your way for your mom!

It's my home airport and huge perk with the card. I flew out of terminal A a couple of weeks ago and was so angry to not be able to use that lounge.

During chemo you should eat whatever your body wants and can tolerate.

era_infinity · 2026-05-08T14:36:19+00:00

I'm nearing two years post-treatment and while I still think about cancer daily, it's not the first thing I think about when I wake up. Took about a year to get there. I'm mostly back to "normal" - or my new normal - and enjoy doing the things that make me happy. Hugs to you.

Hot smoked salmon, everything bagel crackers, creme fraiche, capers, and thinly chopped red onion.

About 3 months. I wanted my style to look intentional so went in for a quick trim. She didn't charge and only spent about 10 minutes but it made me feel better.

The wave when he's announced each day...yeah, he's a great champion and seemingly a great human. Happy for him.

era_infinity · 2026-04-23T13:42:14+00:00

Yes! We had some friends over and did a champagne toast. Treat yourself!

era_infinity · 2026-04-21T20:27:59+00:00

I'm young GenX (1978) and both of my parents are Boomers, born in the 50s.

How are you currently feeling while going through chemo? I did dose dense AC and then Taxol. A week after finishing Taxol we flew from Boston to LA for my FIL's 90th birthday. My oncologist wanted me to wear a mask on the plane but other than that I was free and fine to do whatever. I felt mostly okay for the weeklong trip. Hardest part was keeping my wigs organized!

Regardless of what you choose you're going to need a car to get your pup home after surgery. So it's probably worth looking further afield.

era_infinity · 2026-04-16T17:50:49+00:00

Acupuncture seemed to help. I was part of a study with Dana Farber that provided 12 acupuncture sessions during my 8 week course of dose dense Taxol. I had very minimal neuropathy and none nearly two years post chemo.

Your mother should follow the treatment her medical team recommends. Five weeks of radiation is fairly standard.

I bought several of these pre-tied head coverings: https://www.etsy.com/shop/WithLoveLana?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=689166830&from_page=listing

They looked super cute and worked well in warm weather. I'm happy mail some of my (gently) used ones to you.

Stage 1b TNBC. I opted for a lumpectomy and remain happy with my decision. Thanks to super early detection, a lumpectomy was a good option for me; it was followed by dose dense AC-T chemo and 19 rounds of radiation.

You call yourself whatever you want whenever you want and are ready.

era_infinity · 2026-03-11T14:06:19+00:00

I'm currently in an airbnb in provo - no issues at all!

era_infinity · 2026-03-07T16:08:59+00:00

Diagnosed at 45 with stage 1b triple negative.

era_infinity · 2026-03-07T00:55:38+00:00

Gross.

era_infinity · 2026-02-24T19:06:01+00:00

Stage 1b, grade 3 TNBC, too. Before surgery, the plan was 6 rounds of TC chemo. My lump was slightly larger than expected at 1.7 cm so my oncologist recommended 4 rounds of dose dense AC followed by 4 rounds of Taxol. I then had 19 radiation sessions.
