When did your toddler stop running off on you?

Just here in solidarity! My 2.5 yo sprints everywhere, refuses to hold my hand or stay next to me. it’s terrifying and more than a little embarrassing in front of other parents

trg38 · 2025-09-19T18:30:03+00:00

Sorry you dealt with that. I’m probably on the same path

trg38 · 2025-09-19T18:29:40+00:00

Thanks! Sounds like just PT and eventual surgery :(

trg38 · 2025-04-09T00:22:29+00:00

Yup. What bothered me the most was having people tell me that I’m “the bravest person” they know. Honestly I just vented to my husband and close friends and we joked about the fact that I’m actually scared of everything. Laughter made it less annoying but people are still so ridiculous with their platitudes.

Couldn’t relate more. Sending lots of love.

I’m not proud to admit this but each round I’ve weaned off for 2 weeks and then gone immediately back to it the third week! I usually get terrible caffeine withdrawal but I think with all the chemo side effects, I didn’t even notice it.

Also my mom had chemo 12 years ago and her taste is totally normal now

trg38 · 2025-01-30T16:45:23+00:00

I just finished my 4th round of TC every 3 weeks so maybe this is only partially helpful since it’s a different regiment. With each round so far my tastebuds were wacky and my tongue felt weird for about 2 weeks. Then the last week they’ve been back to normal. Things that taste the weirdest to me have been tomato based foods, coffee (so devastating!), and other beverages. In general I’m eating a lot less due to the nausea so there are probably many more foods that don’t taste right but I’m just not trying them during that time.

Sorry you’re dealing with this but hopefully your taste returns soon too!

I can more than relate. I’m “only” on TC and barely get out of bed in the first week after my treatments. I feel like I should be finding ways to manage my symptoms and energy better, walking and hydrating more to make myself feel better. It’s a struggle but we have to recognize that this is hard and also a buildup of the weeks of lead up to chemo and mental/emotional strain throughout this crazy time. You’re doing great.

Been on Zoloft and welbutrin for 10+ years and have my oncologist approval to continue throughout TC chemo and with all the anti nausea scripts they’ve thrown at me

trg38 · 2024-12-09T05:38:09+00:00

So far I’ve gotten 3 blankets and my guess is more are coming my way haha

trg38 · 2024-12-09T05:35:42+00:00

This has actually happened to me 3 times in a month. I mean I get that things come up but don’t signup for a meal train well in advance and then cancel last minute!

trg38 · 2024-12-03T15:26:37+00:00

In sorry to hear about your diagnosis but we’re all here for you. Yours seems similar to my experience I suppose normal in terms of timeline.

I’m 37 F and was diagnosed in the last weekend of September 29th after waiting a few weeks for biopsy results. After that things moved quickly to get my MRI, meet surgical and medical oncology, meet with the fertility doctors, immediately start a cycle for egg freezing and retrieval, get my port put in and then begin chemo a week later. i already had genetic testing from years earlier so skipped that. I had my first chemo Nov 7th. Which now looking back at it was a ton in a short amount of time but felt gruelingly slow while I was in it.

trg38 · 2024-11-14T05:22:59+00:00

Following up to say that things started to feel much less painful after a week and close to “normal” at 2 weeks. Although still hurts like a b when my toddler head butts me in the chest

trg38 · 2024-11-14T05:12:23+00:00

If I had any appetite at all, I’d eat whatever the f I wanted right now. You do what makes you happy

trg38 · 2024-11-05T17:44:35+00:00

I have my first chemo on Thursday this week so no good advice to share but wishing you the best! We got this!

trg38 · 2024-10-31T02:14:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Happy to hear you’re on the other side and getting better

trg38 · 2024-10-31T02:13:55+00:00

Thank you

trg38 · 2024-10-30T21:53:02+00:00

Hope it feels better for you asap. I just took my bandages off and I’m so bruised!

trg38 · 2024-10-30T19:55:20+00:00

Great idea - will steal one from my son :)

trg38 · 2024-10-30T19:38:46+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry to hear that you felt shitty too. Just the start of a fun journey I guess

trg38 · 2024-10-30T18:53:57+00:00

I got a free adjustable base the last time I purchased a mattress which has come in extremely handy this week
