My sweet baby girl is all healed up now, but she always loved being beneath blankets during her recovery. She still does! I often find lumps in my bed and peel back the covers to find her half asleep.
Hey, guys! I’ve started feeding the crows, and I just love them so much! I’ve noticed in the last week that a couple of them seem to be missing their feathers around their necks. This one seems to be the worst of them.
Is this just molting? Is there any food rich in nutrients that I can give them to help with the process if that is what is going on??
Thank you!
Heya, people! I’m (22f) a little uncertain about some of my results that I recently got, and my oncologist is so busy that she hasn’t yet replied to my follow-up questions.
I was diagnosed at 20 and was put on Sprycel 100mg. My numbers swiftly began to improve and in five months I was undetected. I think I started out at 38%? My oncologist was super excited about my quick response.
I had some issues on Sprycel, though. I came off the first time due to PE, and they lowered my dosage to 80. I had PE a second time and they lowered it to 70. The entire time I had absolutely an insane amount of fatigue. I slept about 16 hours a day, and when I was awake I had a hard time getting from one side of my house to the other.
I should have been switched, but I made the huge mistake of not telling my oncologist about how bad my fatigue is. I’m extremely emetophobic, and the nausea from the Sprycel was controlled very well with Ondansetron. It wasn’t until my dad insisted that I open up to him and be truthful about the meds that I actually started getting some help and was given a palliative care nurse.
It was with her that we decided we wanted to try a dose reduction to 20mg, and my oncologist refused. Ultimately, I went to see a specialist instead, and she told me that because I had such a fast response, I’m young and in otherwise good health, and that she thought I was a good candidate for TFR. I’m not gonna lie. I was so excited. I quit my meds, and I hadn’t felt this good in two years.
Then I went back next month for my next BCR and I had already gone from undetected to positive. It’s a slight positive, but still positive. She wants me to wait until my next BCR in mid-August before we make any decisions. But she had already said during my initial appointment with her that if I failed TFR that she wanted to switch me to Scemblix.
Honestly, I’m so scared. I felt so awful on Sprycel that I’m scared to try another drug. I want to ask her if she’ll let me try the 20mg of Sprycel even though she said no. What if the Scemblix makes me sick? I have a pretty sensitive stomach and taking meds without food is hard. I have so many thoughts running through my head that I feel like I can’t function. Is it possible for me to be undetected again without a TKI since it’s such a faint positive?
Good morning, Swiftie friends. My best friend passed over the weekend and I’m hoping to make her the ultimate friendship bracelet using handmade and sustainable beads, but still retain the Eras feel. Where are we buying such beads? Everything I find leads me back to mass makers, and I can’t trust Etsy to be sustainable.
Also, no one can convince me that she wasn’t a Folklore girly. 🫶
