Re: Stage IIb and 5+ years out, anyone?
Very cool to read your story! I was dx in April 2020 - two years out now and feel so lucky to be here. I am on lupron and arimidex to keep me in menopause and I'm just now stopped with the crazy hot flashes and adjusted to all the new muscle aches. Still waiting to get my double DIEP flap.
Re: Stage IIb and 5+ years out, anyone?
Very Happy to say I'm 10+ years post diagnosis! Life for me is very enjoyable with lots of interesting twist and turns that I have the energy for. Hang in there guys

bcat34 congrats on making it that far and being your own advocate and finding a safe place to talk as well which is important as well. May you continue to remain ok for the foreseeable future.
Re: Starting radiation in December 2025? Gather here for support!
I start radiation after Christmas. I am nervous, but hoping it helps with the pain I am having from stage 4 breast cancer that has moved to my ribs, back and spine. Been on Tamoxifen since 12/5. I hope the pain I have lessons🙏 I am tired of taking pain meds and certainly don’t like side effects like constipation. That’s the last thing I need. Merry Christmas to all🎄❤️

Good afternoon all, slept pretty late but was in bed late, not sure why but will force an early bedtime tonight and tomorrow night for sure. Stop eating by 6pm so better make sure it is a good size dinner.
Nothing on the agenda, got plenty of laundry to do which is always good, floors, sweep and a vacuum. Mop at later date I suppose, need to get cat food for my SIL to give cats while in hospital and that is about it. I told her not to worry about any organization yet because my mind could change on a dime.
Probably air fry a couple of hashbrowns, set timer to 4 mins check the crisp and flip again. My thought is to have hashbrowns, a hot dog cut up and air fried at same time and either an egg or lentils added in, not sure yet. I do have the option of using the air fryer at same time as small griddle since both together use max of 1300 W. That may be helpful to do up an egg and some hash browns and eat up. Later, crispy beans or lentils added in crumbled up chips and use up some queso of my own. Debating a shop from Walmart before surgery, make sure enough eggs and frozen macaroni and beef are in the fridge, meat pies are good too. Will not cost too much. I have a while yet, but think some may be a good idea. I will see what I think.
Anyway, I hope all have a good day. I am in pockets for us all, hopes for good holidays whether with people or spoiling ourselves as well. Not sure what I will have Christmas Eve or Christmas but I will figure it all out.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@irishlove I will join you in prayers for your DD situation and that your DSIL can make things work. You deserve better and need support for you with all the physical challenges you are going through. My DD and DGD live with us too but it is entirely different as my DD is an emergency room night nurse and we help care for our DGD when she is at work and/or sleeping. Still, there is an added amount of stress with two generations living together.
