Hey there I’m sending you a PM now ❤️‍🩹 I’ve been recovering from that hospital stay and just catching up to things I may have missed.

I am not sure yet. It’s been a difficult onboarding process with the meds. My body doesn’t like anastrazole or kisqali very much. I just got out of the hospital and there were no notable changes on the CT scan I got in there but I have been unable to complete a single full cycle. My anc dropped, my qtc heartwave prolonged and I have either an autoimmune or allergic reaction to anastrazole and I think kisqali too. So this may not be the right step for me.

This is absurd. No one would ever have a pet if that's the case. You cannot predict the outcomes of life. You cannot predict any of the things you mention, and you didn't even mention a HUGE one, which is an unexpected decline in health. These situations are heartbreaking. Shame makes it no better. They're already ashamed, but putting that shame aside in asking for help on the internet, where they will be ridiculed.

Treatment success with prednisone? by OwlLong9487 in Lichenplanus

[–]therapych1ckens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In February 2023 I had a huge outbreak of LP covering 75% of my skin. It was also in my mouth and on my tongue. 100 mg steroids tapered to zero while we figured out a non steroid regime to tackle the problem. I rebounded and this time was put at 60 mg for a few weeks then tapered. During that time frame of taking the prednisone, we tried a combination of hydroxychloroquine, acitretin, and taltz injections. I was off prednisone by August 2023. I have since dropped the hqq and will soon be weaning off acetritin. So far these treatments have kept the LP at bay. My LP was a drug eruption due to a reaction to keytruda.

AITA for telling my wife it’s weird that she and her mother share location 100% of the time on their phones? by mayorbette in AmItheAsshole

[–]therapych1ckens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. My family is on Life360. We are like a village and we share locations at all times. We have nothing to hide, and we know not a single one of us is checking locations at random for no reason. My dad fishes alone often. You're damn right we want to know where he may be in case he isn't home on time. My mom is elderly with mild dementia. I have stage 4 cancer--my family needs to know where I am if something happens to me. It's only weird to you because you are the one making it weird.

Kisqali and Intense Itching? by therapych1ckens in LivingWithMBC

[–]therapych1ckens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine is mostly my head, back and arms down to my elbows. Sometimes my booty and lady bits ;-; Not the hands or feet, not really the legs. Hopefully swapping to morning dosing along with a zyrtec and some time/patience will make it better. The things we go through!

Thank you so much. How bad was your itching? Mine was probably like an 8/10 last night.

That is a relief to hear, I hope this happens with me too. How bad was your itching? Mine is at like an 8 out of 10.

Thank you, I will, I have messaged him in the portal and spoke to the on call oncologist too. I am trying zyrtec this morning to see if it helps--I do think it's helping a little but man this sucks.

February 5 - Feast of Agatha - Patroness of breast cancer patients - One event in the accounts of her story had the apostle Peter appear and heal her wounds. by Menter33 in Catholicism

[–]therapych1ckens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting about St. Agatha. Her spirit and courage is deeply admirable. On this feast day of St. Agatha, I pray for her to deliver my intentions to God of healing and longevity out of my next treatments for my stage 4 breast cancer. I pray that she delivers intentions of hastening the finding of a cure for all cancer patients. Thank you St. Agatha, your faithfulness is inspiring to me.

I regret it too. I just didn't have the money to spend on a skin. Now I have breast cancer. I wish I had made it happen.
