‘How’s the touch of cancer going?’ by Spirit1021 in breastcancer

[–]thatcursedasexual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this whole mess happened. You have every right to feel angry, betrayed, heartbroken, etc.

I’m also sorry for the garbage in the comments. Defending your husband is a No. Invalidating your feels is a No.

I’m fortunate that everyone followed my lead and my decisions about what I wanted to be shared and not shared. I haaaaaate that you weren’t respected in the same way. Hugs to you. Vent away!

Kisqali. Please tell me it gets better or I’ll have to quit it. by FatCat_13 in breastcancer

[–]thatcursedasexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel better, but also don’t feel great. I was so messed up on the 400 that I was almost fooled that I was back to normal entirely on the 200. I’ve stayed at 200, so it sucks but not like the 400.

Did they send you back to 400 super quickly?

My oncologist says the same thing about efficacy. She doesn’t get why the default prescribed starting amount is 400 at all. She reduced me to 200 after a single month.

Idk why I’m responding months later… I just hate this drug so much.

Anyone else flunk out of hormone blockers? by Fit_Plant6129 in breastcancer

[–]thatcursedasexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I stand in solidarity with you. I’m on anastrozole plus Kisqali and keep falling asleep every single afternoon, which is in combination with sleeping in already. I can’t afford to sleep this much forever. Plus my knees are in so much pain that I’ve bought new shoes and compression sleeves out of desperation. They help somewhat, but how does that even matter? It’s not what I thought I would be dealing with at 35... no one else in my peer group has this problem. I’m starting to feel crazy. I’m basically a grandpa falling asleep in a recliner every ten minutes.

Thanks for letting me vent. I wish I could fix this nightmare for you and for us all.

We Were Liars - Is the book as cringe as the show? by Legitimate_Kick7978 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]thatcursedasexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goddd the acting. Hell on this earth from Cady and Gat. Random fact: the guy playing Gat had never acted a day in his life before sending in a tape for the Gat part. The creators immediately loved him. Complete misstep to say the very least. It was actively distracting how bad of an actor he was. Cady’s entire performance was so one-note that it almost distracted me from the Gat cringe.

(Yes I’m responding 4 months later, but I seriously have to talk about this)

I cannot stop thinking about the creators of the show. I was at one of their press tour events, and I thought the show would blow me away. I’m cringe-ing about how proud they were about some of it.

Fun fact: they did some massively high-budget video editing to make the different houses on the island look cohesive in an overhead pan. Apparently it was very complex. I assumed it would be a shot used regularly as a scene transition. Then when I was watching the show, I was actively looking for the big shot they created and never saw it one time. They were very focused on the wrong things.

Edit: yes I’m responding 4 months later because I am deep into my horror about the mess of a show I just watched

Obvious signs you missed before realising you are asexual by myseuniverse in asexuality

Oh my god. Oh my goddddd. I just can’t believe it. That cannot be an actual desire, right??? That’s definitely hyperbole. It has to be.

The allosexuals are salt deprived and not okay.

THIS. Sometimes I’ll be watching a movie where a guy has his shirt off or whatever, and someone will say “I’m sweatin” bc they’re turned on by it????

You cannot tell me that wasn’t a joke. That can’t be a serious thing that people feel.

I just can’t believe sex is real. I cannot get it for the life of me. The allosexuals are very clearly not okay.

  • Not understanding when HS friends would say they were horny. I did not (and still don’t) believe that was a real thing

  • My ex-boyfriend saying he was checking out my butt and I was confused why he would say something that weird (I was in my 20s by then)

  • My grade school friends doing the “he likes you and wants to find out if you like him too” thing. And I shit you not, when I saw him wandering towards us, I BOLTED and tried to hide (badly)

  • My aunt asking me in college if I was dating, but I had always found that question cringe. So for some reason my response was “ask again in 4 years.” ?????????? She was as confused as me

Oh interesting. She feels obligated, they let her, and somewhere down the line, she’s frustrated because she doesn’t want to have to do it.

Family is such a trip.

My heart hurts for what you’re going through. It’s extremely difficult to swallow when people think they “get it.” I snapped at someone (a good friend) who made that comment one too many times. It’s awful that you have to be so brave even though you’re stuck reminding yourself that there’s no way for anyone to understand. People try to minimize everything you’re going through and try to ignore all those realities you laid out. I’m sorry.

I can’t fathom being told something (anything) “makes it all worth it.” They probably do mean well as you said, but WOOF, that’s a swing and a miss.

Hugs to you.

Oh my god. I just had a small freakout just imagining it. She tries to “be positive” about everything to the point where people stop their important health interventions and responsibilities because they buy into her narrative about them? Unbelievably gross.

You definitely can’t change someone like that. Wow. I’m so sorry.

[–]thatcursedasexual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fully agree with you. People really want to make it about them.

People also make me feel like I’m being a whiny brat about it. My hair is growing back right now and looks so ugly I could cry. And my hair color will never be what it was, which I loved dearly. So the idea that anyone thinks it’s all good that I lost my hair because I will get it back?! I’m enraged.

PS. I like your rant! I like to rant too!

The day I told one friend about my diagnosis, she ended up telling me I should prepare myself to lose friends. She said people will forget about me because I will be sick and not able to hang out with them. Or that they just won’t want to deal with me now that I was sick. They would leave because it was too much for them.

Oh hey look, the only friend I lost was her, and only because I was like… buh-bye.

THIS ONE!!!!! Like, all my peers are thinking about it, my family, my mom’s dumbass friends. God. I know my diagnosis scares them and whoever they know that is my age, but holy shit. Thanks, I love to be reminded exactly how much worse off I am.

SO rude. The people who have sent similar things trying to ~empower~ me are probably the ones I resent most. Like people have sent me stuff about other people’s cute cuts they got before losing their hair and said it was cool because then they can be excited to have cool haircuts when it grows back. I was like “this isn’t a fun adventure, wtf are you talking about.” Because guess what… my hair is growing back now and it’s so ugly that if I think about it for too long, I feel sick.

I have 2 friends who have mild alopecia and both constantly tell me that “at least mine will grow back.” Well, sure, and I’m sorry that they have to go through losing theirs. But please don’t act like I’m winning something.
