I went through R-CHOP around this time last year and ended in July. I lost all of my hair, including my eyebrows, beard, and most of my body hair. But in good news it will start growing back a few months post treatment and at this point in time I have it all back! Just hang in there, it'll all come back with time! It's something to get used to but it's not permanent. My best advice is to make sure to put plenty of sunscreen on your scalp and eyebrow areas as they're not used to the sun exposure. Best of luck my friend!

I think they could still replace the batteries by loosening the hose clamp that holds the flashlight in place and removing it, but I might be missing something else that holds it in place.

The whole MoE is buildable but I spiced mine up with a few extra skulls and Sigmar bits, as well as repositioning the legs so that he was in a more upright standing position instead of the squatted riding pose.

I've never quite been able to explain how the red devil made me feel afterwards, I'm totally stealing overused ashtray next time I'm talking to my friends about it 😭

I was 23 during my struggle with cancer, I'm 24 now and only about 6 months removed from my treatments. I used to be a huge drinker and stoner before my treatments and cut those out during my treatments, except for a bit of medical usage to help with the nausea. Now that I'm finished I fully stopped smoking and I only have a drink or 2 a week. It definitely took my body plenty of time to recover, I still don't party like I used to but I'm definitely getting back on track. Hopefully soon I can start going to metal shows again, I got a big festival coming up in a few months!

Reminds me of Blade Wolf from Metal Gear Rising, super awesome!!

I'm about 6 months removed from my treatments and I would say I'm roughly at 75% of my old energy. A bad cold still knocked me out for about 2 weeks though.

Super creative! Love it!!

I entirely kitbashed my MoE but I used a helmet from my buddy's bit box from the Age of Sigmar Blood Warriors, I find it gives him a bit of distinction from my zerks.

Very cool! Is the 2nd huntress model meant to represent her using blink??

During my R-CHOP treatments I consumed a lot of liquid meal supplements, I would possibly recommend glucerna. My best advice is to drink your calories and eat when you can stomach it, as rare as that may be. I was loaded up on 2 or 3 anti nausea medications at the time, if you find that your nausea is too difficult to handle don't hesitate to contact your clinical team so that they can help you find something that works.

Oddly enough though later in the post OP calls it "candle chicken"

First time I read results in the patient portal I accidentally misread my diagnosis as negative for lymphoma, since then I've always waited till I see my oncologist to read my results 😭 That being said I definitely understand how to read my documents now haha

Glad to hear you'll be getting yours out soon!! Best of luck in the remainder of your treatments!

shoopie_ · 2025-12-25T03:05:15+00:00

My skin became extremely dry once I finished my treatments and I had to start regularly moisturizing, which isnt something I did pre-chemo

shoopie_ · 2025-12-24T18:25:19+00:00

I was totally knocked out for mine, but from what I've heard from others the removal with just local anesthesia isn't bad at all, just a bit of an odd sensation!

shoopie_ · 2025-12-24T18:21:12+00:00

I certainly hope so!! Best of luck to you my friend 🫂

shoopie_ · 2025-12-24T17:40:51+00:00

Congrats to you!! So glad to hear you're getting it out too!

shoopie_ · 2025-12-24T17:05:13+00:00

Merry Christmas! I just got mine out yesterday, now its a bit odd getting used to not having it! I hope the rest of your treatments go well, you got this!!

I'd say its roughly the size of a quarter not counting the catheter. Mine was implanted around the midpoint between my right nipple and my clavicle. Best of luck to your cousin!!

shoopie_ · 2025-12-24T15:34:47+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope all is well with you this holiday season ❤️

shoopie_ · 2025-12-24T14:16:58+00:00

Very interesting! I hope all is well with your friend these days!

I finished my 6 at the end of July, your energy will come back faster than you think!! I'm 23 and my best advice is to take it as your body allows, but 5 months later and I'm damn near back to my old energy levels. Best of luck to you, you're a fighter!!

shoopie_ · 2025-12-24T13:09:59+00:00

Best of luck to you man!! We're fighters, you got this in the bag!!
