msesq

msesq, thank you! Yes, it does suck. I'll just have to do what we all had to do: wait until I know more. At least I'm not a newbie! Gallows humor is comforting. Hugs, Carol

Thanks for participating in the conversations and adding your own experiences and point of view. Your input will help many others just to be able to read about it. We appreciate you being here and helping others!

Hi .. Did you really eat a full cup or more of fresh berries plus a dozen cherries and a cupful of fresh sprouts daily & for a minimum of 3 weeks?

Doing less is of little consequence. I know it is expensive but I dont set prices and insurance wont cover. It would also be best to eat these foods organically because the spray of peticides is so much less.

Thanks for supporting others by offering advice and positive wishes! It does make a difference for them to see that other people have been there and are doing OK.

I wanted to know if you had trouble growing your hair back because we got the same drugs and I am having a hard time growing my hair back on top.

Hi, msesq. One of your "experiences" indicates that your husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. How is he doing?

Good Morning, Just wanted to say Hi and hope you have a good day.

Sorry to hear about you latest development. I will keep you in my prayers. Let me know how you make out. Good luck. Take care.

Thank you for the feedback about sleep problems. The anxiety before getting test results seems like it does get better over the years, and we find ways to manage it. But it is still there and can definitely disrupt sleep.

Also, as a tea, cornsilk. and hifu (google it). There are lots of ways to skin that proverbial cat. Mostly, those ways don't interfere with each other.

Hi; I read your post expressing a concern about your environment. Without going into details, there was toxic mold hidden behind the walls of my prior house. I developed a skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). Mold can cause cancers.

There are almost only plastic bras anymore. They don't let your tissues breathe. Take yours off more often. Hanes make a cotton sports bra. One model closes in the front which me be a geat help to you. I'm a food nut and feel my choices kept me alive for the 13 years until a doctor could finally diagnose the "wart", which is what they all called it, as a cancer tumor.

Best wishes

Hi, msesq. On January 19 a question was asked about how folks handle anxiety. You answered that you've used the Headspace website. I looked into Headspace previously and tried the free meditations. You mentioned the sleep meditation. Have you done others? Do you mind elaborating on what you think about the program? I was about to sign up but then found a few online reviews (which, I know, one can't necessarily trust) that said they had a hard time stopping their subscriptions and getting the payments stopped, etc., so that made me leery to try it. And when you mentioned Mindful, do you mean mindful.org? I get the Mindful magazine. Thank you very much for your time. I appreciate any insight you can provide.

I just saw your henna halo picture. It is beautiful. Would it be possible to give me more information about how to get one? I did not see much info when I tried to google it. I would appreciate any info you are able to pass on about it.

Thank you for your input on my question. Gaining weight on chemo is surprising, but not hard to do, given the steroids. I also craved mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and other creamy, bland comfort foods. Have you had any success in working on the weight you gained, or are you happy where you are? May I ask, did your oncologist give you any feedback about weight or nutrition? Mine never said a word.

I just wanted to comment on a post that you made. I am coming to the end of my Herceptin treatments. After today's, I only have 2 more to go. You will be surprised at how quickly it will go. I can't believe that my year of treatment is almost over. Good luck to you. Take care.

I took the same drugs as you, and yes, I had eye twitching (my left eye too) seems like it was my last chemo infusion and the two days following.Then about 2 months later I had it again for 2 or 3 days and then about 2 months after that for a few days again. I didn't do anything about it; it just stopped on its own.

Good Luck! With your treatments!

Hi, msesq. I saw your response to Pixelated4u's question ("What can I do to help my mom during her chemo treatments?"). I have to tell you that your response brought tears to my eyes. Your children sound so wonderful. What thoughtful people. It sounds like they are the product of good and kind parenting! And I'm so glad you have that type of support. Best wishes to you. : )
