    Mods, I hope it’s okay for me to post here.

    I want to encourage anyone who is in treatment to take advantage of this invitation to join these Zoom meetings.

    I found calling into them to be a great way to track my progress with others and to share ideas for managing side effects with others who were slightly ahead of or behind me. The other women I met were all combinations of fierce, vulnerable, courageous, and worried. Together, with caring moderators we spent valuable time moving through a tough and important time.

    And we spent a fair amount of time laughing together along with talking about the hard stuff.

    I agree with @sarahmaude whole heartedly! We found great support in each other’s stories, strengths and humor. We shared vital information, empathy and frustrations freely without judgement. There were tears, celebrations and lots of laughter. You will not regret this experience.

    I have loved meeting other women on this journey. I forget after the surgeries, the end of the herceptin/perjeta infusions and the port removal after nearly 2 years that i still have side effects. Neuropathy on a few fingers on my right hand. The blood clot i spoke about that i feel now is being treated. The thigh high compression sock is keeping the fluid from draining into my ankle area. I never saw this with the compression socks.

    I say to anyone who gets surgery, make sure they give you a med to prevent blood clots. We can and do learn from each other.
