MsScribe

Hi-
Most every morning when I make my bed, I think about you and your telling me that you would make your bed knowing that you always had the option for a nap later! Hope you are doing well. I'm now a year post-chemo/radiation and so glad to be on this side of things. This Minnesota cold is getting to me, so I am going to lie down with a heating pad for awhile...even though the bed is already made!

All the best! I so appreciated your help and advice along the way.

Hi MsScribe,

I wanted to reach out to you as I'm currently producing a segment about mastectomy tattoos and I've been trying to gain some insight to the process. I think it's a really brave and amazing choice and would love to find out more about how you came to the decision.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Best,
Quinn

Hey there!

The hot flashes etc what do u attribute that to..? Just wanted to say I appreciate all the reasponse as the volunteer for recovery program thru the cancer society has never come thru despite going on 3+ mos and multiple requests even a call saying sorry cant help would be appreciated I am in southern Il

Happy New Year, MsScribe!
I love your new picture! You are so beautiful.
Thank you for your words of encouragment. You have been through a lot with both DLBCL & HER2+ breast cancer. My cousin was recently diagnosed with HER2+ breast cancer. Do your doctors think the DLBCL was caused by the HER2+ treatments?

I wish I had know then what I know now about reconstruction. Mine is a botch job. So Naturally I didn't do anything when breast cancer came to the other last year. Tell your good story whenever you can. it would have saved my sexual life.

I sent for ginger chews and ginger tea. I also find that coffee is a nono. Will be drinking a lot of tea.

Mouth dryness is a big problem. I have to walk around with a water bottle. A friend suggested the mouthwash Biotine. It helps some but hard to work it into my day, unless I'm in bed.+

hi how are you Ms Scribe? I seen you commented on someones wall about nipple reconstruction. I'm a10 month breast cancer survivor and I had both breast removed... next step is the nipples. What should I be expecting?? I have an appointment a week from today and not sure what to expect. I'm only 34, I just want them to look somewhat normal. Looking down at them today just depresses me but makes me proud too b/c I am here today.:-)

Hello, I saw that you had RA and was then diagnosed with NHL. That is exactly what happened to me. I have had 6 treatments of RCVP. The scan after 4 treatments showed no growth but not diminished either. I am having another scan this week. Were you on the RCVP cocktail?

Thanks for sharing those milestones. I can't believe you held it together for business. I have pretty much been a slug, and as I was laid off from school counseling, didn't even try to work. Looking for a new job while bald hasn't seemed like a great idea!

You've had a rough time, and to hear that you are doing well is an inspiration (and a comfort). I have truly forgotten what it feels like to feel normal. I need to regain my body, my life, and get my house cleaned!

Thank you so much for telling me about your experience. It seems to me that there is a lot of information about six treatments being sufficient. My doctor suggested a seventh, but seems to be okay with my wanting to stop at six. I had a good scan after three (cancer virtually gone, perhaps just scar tissue remaining), and virtually the same (but better) scan after five. The side effects are wearing me out! It's been six days since my last chemo.

Thank you! Sofi
