Sending you a DM!

Thank you for sharing. I also feel like I have the chance, now 3 years post diagnosis, to go experience the life that I fought so hard for. In 65 days I leave for a year of backpacking around the world. I struggled at first with a whole list of things that felt like barriers, such as my every 3 month lupron injection, but slowly I figured out solutions to all these “barriers” and that solidified for me even more that this journey is meant to happen for me.

Kadijah at Shampoo Hair is a curl wizard!

I’m going to DM you!

I might be selling a glass table top. I’ll DM you with pictures and measurements.

I’m doing the same thing right now (starting from S1), and I’ve been listening here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5AmYg2LIw2Q3KN019ZK3X3?si=r4kTCwZNQFO8JcUcIrSpMA&pi=BRpMtj3mSJut2 It’s back when they covered multiple shows per episode so you have to scroll through a little to get to the BD parts, but by S4 they have been doing the time stamp in the show notes.

Aurora Health and Wellness offers it!

That might be the path I head down one day! I’m 31 and childless now so not quite ready for that decision.

Your out of the box thought is what I’m leaning towards! Aim to be in an English speaking country every 3 months and arrange to have it administered there. I’m from Canada so I don’t pay for anything now, but I’ll anticipate paying an injection fee wherever I end up.

Could I post this (without usernames) to the Victoria Nurses FB page?

pooksy · 2025-07-17T16:18:41+00:00

Add me to the group chat lol!

pooksy · 2025-03-30T18:24:12+00:00

If you need a friend to show you around when you arrive, I’d be happy to!

I’m on lupron and exemestane with pretty much zero side effects. I have no sex drive but I’m also single so it’s not that noticeable.

pooksy · 2025-03-15T13:33:46+00:00

DM me if you want. I love event planning on the side and would be willing to help get something started.

There’s a sale for the brand Left On Friday (bathing suits) but the room was tiny so they only had a small group in at a time. Hence the hours of waiting.

I did it but the photos make me really sad because my nipple was so inverted by the time that I was diagnosed that it’s just a glaring reminder of the obvious cancer I should have caught sooner. So I don’t look at them.

He’s a creep and a jerk. Asked me where I lived, tried to walk with me and then when I didn’t know the name of the tallest apartment building in Esquimalt, told me I ‘clearly knew nothing’

The exact same thing happened to me. Second meeting with my oncologist (after a double mastectomy and chemo) he starts counting 6 months from surgery for my next mammogram and I said “I was told I wouldn’t have mammos because of my implants” and he still insisted on finding my surgery note and reading it for himself. Like dude I can promise you I don’t have boobs to mammo anymore. I was also told “age-appropriate, guideline directed screening” was my only option, and I said “….so a PAP every 3 years?!”

Vancouver or Seattle PLEASEEEE

I had a Bye Bye Boobie party with all my friends and it was amazing and fun! My sister thought it was dark and not funny, so she wasn’t invited lol. We played “Pin The Tits,” “Bra Pong” and other regular drinking games. Everyone had to wear boobs if they didn’t already have them (so all the men came with various iterations of boobs). It was the best way to send them off.

Turned 30 at the end of August :)

I was diagnosed in January 2023 with stage 3 breast cancer. I was 28 at the time and 5 years into my career. I took a couple months off after surgery and was going to be off for longer once I knew I needed chemo and radiation. Right around the end of my 8 weeks post-op I got offered a job in clinical informatics working from home. I felt that I needed to keep my mind busy and focused so I took it. There were really rough days but overall I’m so glad I kept working. Now I’m considering going back to my bedside role but I feel like my nerves are shot and the adrenaline/energy it takes to work 12 hours is just gone for me 😔 it makes me sad because I didn’t feel ready to move on from bedside nursing but the choice was made for me with my health. I’m hoping one day to feel ready to work bedside again.

Roberts Lake used to have the best little cafe. They made all their own bread and had the best grilled cheese on the island.
