@drummergirl Hi nice to meet you, I too have no boobs as of 05/2022 and lost all my teeth 10/2022 due to all the years of meds I took on my first walk with BC. It was more expensive to have dental repair work than to have extractions. I wore a wig the first time and decided I would not do that again just my decision. My first oncologist wants to start me as a new patient and put me in the survivorship program. My second oncologist retired. Hi, @colely Did you watch the youtube video I posted? Flat & Proud. To answer your question I never feel devasted about how I looked then and/or now. The only time I felt guilt was when I was on the chemo floor waiting for more poison and I said something to a woman that I thought was there to support someone else she said "This is my 2nd time with BC" I'm grinning at you all ear to ear with no teeth. Having Coho Salmon with brandy, butter brown sugar, and baked sweet potato for dinner. Stay Strong Sister there is light at the end of this tunnel. I just sent a prayer for you. oxoxoxo

Thank you. You are indeed a warrior, sister. Your dinner sounds perfect. Sending hugs

No comment. Except, thank you for adding to my guilt, because I haven't had chemotherapy.

Bcwarrior- you are a valued member of this group. Please come back and share with us again.

I admire your strength and warrior woman attitude. Yet we are all different in disposition. Not being able to do the things I love, prone and nauseous in bed, no appetite for even something as delicious as you describe I personally find it hard to fight. If it was a temporary treatment with an end in sight: yes, sure. But at stage 4 with lots of liver mets, I imagine this is as good as it gets. And somehow the Amazon spirit must have been doled out sparingly to me. So some of us will have to find other ways to cope. Reading is great.
