I had stage 1 IDC HER2+, no lymph nodes last year. Did the 12 week taxol. I had reconstruction in November with implants and fat grafting around them. April I felt a round, hard pea in a fat grafting area, and they said fat necrosis upon US. Just followed up yesterday and now I’m being told it shouldn’t grow so off to biopsy I go. The only thing slightly easing my mind is the radiologist said there are some factors such as how the first US was done/read/angle could influence the reading. I just got done with shit and am nowhere back to normal mentally or physically to do this all again.

NOT LOOKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE, JUST ORHERS EXPERIENCES

Some of y’all sound like this is a mushroom trip and you better be in the right state of mind to take the pill. I guess ill wait until tomorrow night 😅

Am I wanting to take this morning or evening?
Starting with 0.25mg 🤷🏻‍♀️

I took it for the first time today and have a headache now from significant strain while working (on computer). I seemed to lose focus more today too. No actual diplopia but vision was losing focus and blurring. I looked it up and now I’m paranoid I have myasthenia gravis. Thanks internet!

Edited to be in somewhat proper English.

I’m in survivorship and hate my body. I want to try some gradual tanner or self tanners at home. Is this safe for us chemical wise?

Any recommendations greatly appreciated! I’m super pasty white from being indoors all day everyday on top of poor circulation.

I apologize for the vanity topic. It’s just you ladies are the only ones who have researched everything under the sun. I didn’t feel like I could ask this anywhere else!

Editing to say thank you for all the recommendations and the emotional support. Yall are the best!

I had stage 1 HER2+ ER/PR- IDC last year. I did the double mastectomy and chemo/herceptin. I feel like since treatment ended my mood and anxiety has worsened. In fact, I feel like all areas of my life have declined greatly. I can’t sleep. I wake up very early and begin to feel anxious and worry. I’m anxious throughout the day off and on. I feel depressed. My hair is falling out. Weight gain. I don’t want to leave the house. I don’t respond well to antidepressants. I just don’t think I can continue to function like this. I don’t know what to do.

I’m starting to freak out. I am only on 1/4 tablet and have been taking it most nights for the past 2-3
weeks. There was a random increase in shedding today as I ran my fingers through my hair.

Last taxol was back in October. I’m definitely not complaining about this. I just find it interesting. My nails also survived chemo but NOW they are peeling and breaking more.
