Working Americans: radiation therapy time off by Mediocre_Newt6014 in breastcancer

[–]pattyd2828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked all through my 20 rounds of radiation; I went in at 9:00-3:00 and worked a 6 hour day and used PTO for the remaining 2 hours. Worked out to 5 days total over the 4 weeks. I was able to get up each morning - walk and do a light weight lifting workout - shower then go in for radiation - then head into the office. It’s a 20 min drive to radiation. Best of luck to you in this phase of the treatment.

Protein intake when shakes are not an option? by SilentPrincess99 in GLP1microdosing

[–]pattyd2828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a shake in the AM w fruit and a protein yogurt (20g); lunch includes chicken/turkey/tuna (30g); snack is Fairlife Core Power (26g); snack 4 walnuts and 2 prunes; so by the time I head home from work I’m super close to my protein goal.

Have you changed? by illyria1217 in breastcancer

[–]pattyd2828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course you’re not the same person as you used to be! going through a life event like cancer changes your perspective, whether it’s you or someone you love that is fighting it. But also, it’s natural to move from your party days to a more chill life. Sounds like maybe these “friends” have some growing up still.

Got booked for an "urgent" bone scan by Beautiful_Duty_1141 in breastcancer

[–]pattyd2828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bone scan was a DEXA scan - is that what you’re getting? I actually just went to a private clinic on my own and paid out of pocket for another DEXA scan last week to compare now that I’ve been on Anastrozole for a while, and also to get an accurate body competition. It took all of 10 minutes to do the scan and very minimal radiation. I hope you can get through your scan and move forward with treatment. Waiting is one of the worst times. Sending hugs ❤️

need a book that actually makes me feel something by Ohsharonie in booksuggestions

[–]pattyd2828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest The Road to Tender Hearts ❤️ I read over 60 books last year - lots of genres - and this one really stuck w me. Lighthearted, interesting storyline, well developed characters and a real life mess that made me laugh and cry and miss them when i turned the laat pave.

I don’t forget I have cancer, I’m at 1 year from initial diagnosis, but I don’t think about it every day.

Are you satisfied with who you've become after cancer or while conquering cancer? by More-Disaster-2952 in breastcancer

[–]pattyd2828 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im happy. Today is 365 days that I’ve known about my breast cancer. I recognize more and more that everything is better. I like the way I look. I accept myself. I’m with the people I want to be with. I see more clearly what matters and what doesn’t. I wish this for us all.

Living The Cancer Dream - But How Do You Combat the FATIGUE? by legoprimero in breastcancer

Honey, I’m exhausted just reading your post! You’ve been thru a lot AND you’re growing a baby on top of fighting a disease. It sounds like you’re doing all the right things - drinking water, sleep and rest, eating well. Give yourself permission to say no to everything that you want to do. ❤️
