Lopsided

Hi Lopsided. Like you, I'm experiencing medical menopausal symptoms. It began the same day as radiation. And I thought I was having reactions to the Rads but was told menopause. Now I'm like a vampire.hiding from the warmth of the sun & strolling by Moonlight. LoL

Welcome to the site. I think that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need to sound off or vent from anger. We are all here to listen and help, if we can, because at some point and time in each of our lives we have been in your situation. Please don't be afraid to ask questions either. No question on this site is silly or dumb. We all have questions we would like other opinions on or answers to. There are so many nice people here that it has helped me get through my fears I had when I was DX'd with DCIS. Good luck in the future.

Am also lopsided after a mastectomy in Feb. I was TNBC in 2009 and recurrence was squamous cell carcinoma in my breast. I'm seeing plastic surgeons and surgeons now to prepare for prophylactic mastectomy and DIEP Flap for reconstruction. I change my mind often about reconstruction, but have the support of my Physician and others to go ahead with it. So sorry to hear you don't have the support you need NOW. I pray you have friends and family you can depend on. I'm guessing your husband is in denial. If he doesn't deal with it, it didn't happen. Please come to this site with questions and for support. Praying for you. MLT

Welcome to the site, I too am stage III Triple negative breast cancer. You will find everyone here is very friendly ask any question we are all here for each other. Cris

Hi Lopsided - love your name, it made me smile. Welcome to the group, so glad you found us (though sorry for the reason why). I noticed you posted about having peripheral neuropathy after the chemo, and that's a problem a lot of people struggle with. I have a website that I created to help others going through breast cancer and I recently shared an article that discussed this very thing. The article I link to within my article lists 23 different complementary therapies that could make a difference to you and your neuropathy, here's the link to my article. I hope it helps you! Sending hugs from Denver to Guilden Sutton. http://marnieclark.com/help-for-chemotherapy-induced-peripheral-neuropathy-cipn/
