Hey
my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine screening in December.
Since then she has become a completely different person. Seeing her age 10 years emotionally in just a few months has honestly been devastating.
She has always been a VERY active, healthy woman with a young soul.
She had a lumpectomy in January, then completed radiation in April.
Her pathology showed:
9 mm Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)
1 mm Microinvasive Ductal Carcinoma (T1mi)
Grade 1
ER-positive
Ki-67: 5%
Oncotype DX score: 6 (the first sample was rejected because the invasive tumor was too minimal/insufficient)
The issue now is hormonal therapy. She is refusing Tamoxifen because she is terrified of side effects, aging, skin and bone effects, and honestly her mental health is already really low after everything she went through.
What also really concerns me is that since the diagnosis, I’ve noticed her slowly adopting a very nihilistic approach toward life and her future.
I am trying to convince her to at least consider tamoxifen, maybe even (“baby tam”) because her case seems biologically very low risk.
For women who took tamoxifen:
What were your real experiences with side effects?
Did it affect your mood, aging, skin, joints, or quality of life badly?
Did anyone here take 5 mg / low-dose tamoxifen instead of the standard 20 mg?
In a very low-risk case like hers, would you personally consider baby tam reasonable?
And also, for caregivers or daughters/sons:
How did you mentally support your mom through the emotional aftermath of cancer? Because honestly the psychological part has been harder than the treatment itself.
Thank you
Hey everyone, I am a 20 year old anglophone Egyptian medical student raised between different cities in the Middle East. I have always been interested in cooking, baking, fermentation, anthropology, and French culture, and I originally wanted to WWOOF in France partly in summer to improve my French.
The main issue for me is the visa situation. I am honestly very confused about which visa status I should apply for as an Egyptian citizen, since WWOOFing is unstructured volunteering and there does not seem to be a clear volunteering visa option for it.
Reading about WWOOFing in general made me interested not only in France but also in other places in Europe or South America.
I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with the visa side of WWOOFing, as a non European.
