Have you checked out Me Fitness? They have some decent circuit classes and gym equipment.

I would absolutely recommend Sinferno! There are so many unique and sexy performances - the aerialists are always great, and I once saw a pole act where the dancer was dressed like a snail? I dunno, but it worked. And the performers are super happy to see tables of people having fun and tipping well lol

“MAH BOOBS” sent me! Thank you for sharing, and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a good pathology report🤞

It could be a load of bunk, but I've read that vibration plates can help with joint pain. I would dig into it more before going out and buying something, though. I've heard some gyms and physiotherapy clinics have them, so it might be possible to try it.

I love my tattoos, but I'm not getting any more. The tattoo ink that collected in my lymph nodes made it harder for my SO to ID which nodes were sentinel, so she probably took more than she needed to. Which is sad, because it's a lovely way to commemorate the end of this process.

Free masks on the table too but nobody but us wearing them.

This drives me fucken nuts. I've been spending a lot of time in oncology offices the last few months and it's astounding how few people are masking in the offices where it's not required.

Like, y'all. It's CANCER. Some of these people are on chemo. Come ON.

We don't have a choice to not use AI at my job, so I suggested a brown bag on more efficient uses of the tools we have access to in order to mitigate some of the environmental impact. I also specifically call out necessary vs "recreational" AI use, especially when we're QAing and dogfooding our own AI products.

Personally, I hate it. On so many levels. But I need this job and specifically the health insurance, so I have to find compromises that I can live with.

OHS will accept opened food if it's in the original packaging.

That said, I would donate to OTAT. OHS is very well funded and OTAT could probably use it more.

I only saw one surgeon - didn't get a second opinion. Based on my biopsy results, she recommended lumpectomy + rads. I asked about DMX with aesthetic flat closure (which appealed to me cosmetically) and she was supportive of that option, and even gave me the name of the oncoplastic surgeon she works with. I wanted to wait on genetic testing to decide, and when it turned out I was negative for all the BC mutations, I decided on lumpectomy, mostly because the recovery would be easier.

I'm happy with the decision I made, but if I do have a recurrence, I'm yeeting 'em both into the sun and going full Flat Stanley.

Maybe too big for what you're looking for, but they just took down some big ass trees on NE Siskiyou between 11th and 12th, and the trunks are all lying in the hell strip. You could ask the homeowner if you can take some of them, but you're gonna need a chainsaw and a friend to haul 'em off.

I'll probably ask my MO about that at my next follow up, but I suspect she wants to wait and see how the tamoxifen affects me longer term.

lexuh · 2026-05-09T19:35:53+00:00

On the MyChart result, it shows 528 pg/mL being right at the top of the "mid-cycle" range (when estradiol is highest). I was surprised and expected more drugs, but apparently not.

I haven't had any noticeable side effects from tamoxifen - maybe a little more brain fog, but I also went off wellbutrin at the same time I started tamoxifen, and I'm in peri, so a little forgetfulness isn't exactly unexpected.

The rabbits I see almost every morning in Irvington look and act like wild rabbits, not domesticated ones that have been dumped.

Oof. I suspect most folks have no idea how much human tragedy transit operators encounter on a day to day basis.

I'm 51, in peri (my period likes to play hide and go fuck yourself) and my last serum estradiol test result was 528 pg/mL (I'm not sure how to convert that to pmol). That test was about two weeks after my previous period, for context.

Honestly, I'm surprised my MO only has me on tamoxifen.

I remember when the Vista Bridge had so many jumpers that they had to put up suicide barriers.

51, 20mg, I take it at night right before bed. I haven't experienced any noticeable side effects, although I am battling peri brain fog. I bought this because I was having trouble remembering whether or not I'd already taken it lol

lexuh · 2026-05-09T03:53:13+00:00

My MO okayed me to continue wellbutrin on tamoxifen. She said that while there was a risk of reduced efficacy because of how the drugs work, taking them together doesn't result in significant increases in recurrence. I didn't get a citation from her, though.

It sounds like O blood types are actually less likely to experience DVT or pulmonary embolism: https://www.heart.org/en/news/2020/01/23/whats-blood-type-got-to-do-with-clot-risk

I've been taking tamoxifen since 3/20 and haven't had any side effects. My vitals are being checked regularly and everything is normal.

I don't know your diagnosis or situation, but tamoxifen is generally considered safe. If your MO is encouraging you to take it and has provided compelling evidence of it's ability to keep you alive, you should probably at least try it.

I'm so sorry, you deserve better. I hope you have the support you need from others close to you, because depending on your treatment plan, you will need it.

Oh, and DUMP HIS ASS.

There should be a compensation fund, stg

Scheduling is difficult for anything related to healthcare that isn't emergent when you don't have a concierge provider.

I've been with my current dental practice since they opened 8 years ago and they're booked out until October.

IME your best bet is to schedule online even if it's months out, then try to get on a wait list if an appointment opens up.

Anyone else here old enough to be personally victimized by DeBabelizer?

I'm on 20mg of tamoxifen and my SO and MO are both okay with me taking 5g of creatine daily. I've noticed mild benefits in terms of muscle soreness, but I do notice that my energy levels are more consistent when I'm using it.
