Anyone have a drink while on Xeloda? Side effects worse or about the same?… asking for a friend (that friend is me)

Is it bad if I want to drink after chemo? Before radiation and oral chemo? I almost think I deserve it.

I finished chemo 6/11, surgery 7/24, I start radiation tomorrow. I will admit that I’ve had a bourbon or few after surgery…

Is that ok? Probably not. Am I giving myself cancer again? The way my mind works, I think I am…. Do I think I deserve a break from every fucking thing since 12/5/25… yes.

Help a sister out and tell me I’m ok….

Fuck, fucking cancer.

I had my lumpectomy 7/24, just received the pathology report and it appears I did not receive PCR, it looks like I’m RCB-2 and I’m slightly tripping the fuck out right now. The lymph nodes they removed were not involved luckily, so there’s that… please help me.

. Right breast, partial mastectomy:
Residual invasive ductal carcinoma with extensive necrosis, status post neoadjuvant therapy

The invasive carcinoma measures 11 mm in greatest dimension (gross measurement), in a tumor bed measuring 2.8 x 2.7 x 0.9 cm.

Treatment effect: Present; probable or definite response to presurgical therapy in the invasive carcinoma.
Residual cancer burden category: RCB-II.

Has anyone got night sweats during and after chemo? I’ll wake up with my pillow damp, sometimes wet from sweat. I googled it and of course, I’m dieing. Though some redditors say it’s potentially from hypothyroidism med imbalance… just looking for input.

My last chemo was completed 6/11, I’m scheduled for surgery on 7/24……

My leg hairs have come back
My f’n chin hairs have come back
My pit hairs have come back
The OTHER hairs have come back

And now, my period has come back

I have just been off chemo for a MONTH!!!

I could deal with all the hairs but, my period? I was really really hoping that would be the one thing (along with the cancer) that wouldn’t stay away.

I’m sad.

Oh, and Fuck Cancer.
