What brought you joy today?

@sandy8043 thank you for the recipe suggestion. That is right up our alley.

@sevillas I also love Kwik Star. I am cancer-free now but after each treatment at Mayo in Rochester, on the way home, my husband would stop at one so that I could get something cold to eat. Ice cream or one of those milk shakes or smoothies. It would be something to look forward to after 4 to 5 hours of chemo. Yes, no matter which store you go into, the staff is always so friendly and helpful. Agreed that onions for .39 lb can't be beat.

@feesepa These are some awkward diagnoses, definitely! I urge you and your friend to wander through the Melanoma & Skin Cancer support group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/melanoma-skin-cancer/ No doubt you will find information and support there as you both navigate this new journey. That is what we do the best, here on Mayo Connect! Being there for each other and offering support helps us feel less alone.

@gingerw
The official so far is:
Triple negative Metaplastic breast cancer squamous cell.
And in the armpit is squamous cell highly aggressive.
The breast is nonsquamous in ducts but highly invasive held in by thin skin layer.
She said it is very rare. Less than 1%

@gingerw

2 cancers. Armpit is squamous cell highly aggressive and breast is nonsquamous in ducts but highly invasive held in by thin skin layer.

@sevillas We did, too! I found a recipe on Pinterest for "onion bombs". There were several different ones but I went with ground beef, cheese and bacon. I stuffed the onions like stuffed peppers. They were so sweet after roasting and the filling was moist. Kwik Trip onions...who knew?

Good morning, @sevillas If you don't mind sharing a little more about yourself and what brought you to the forum, I'd love to "Connect" you with other members with whom you might have something in common. As you can see we're a pretty supportive group. ☺️ Were you diagnosed with cancer? Are you currently going through treatments?

@myoga
Now I get lots of food instead. I’ll tell them no food because I don’t want to gain more weight. I put on 10 lbs from Exemestane. If I gain any more, they have to break the door for me to get through 😂. Thanks everyone for sharing simple happiness. At our age, we appreciate simple pleasures life brings. Hugs to all.

I know, Kwik Trip's are so special to me. Everyone is so kind, and the selections are always great. As for the $0.39/lb onion, how can you beat that??!!!

And thanks for the forum. I'm just feeling a range of emotions, so it's nice to know that others are also feeling the range. Great support!

Hi @sevillas We can find joy in the most unexpected events! Buying an onion at Kwik Trip! Love it. Having had cancer and being treated in Rochester for 4 months, I remember my first outing on the way home had us stopping for gas at Kwik Trip. My big moment was getting a sandwich that I’d been hungry for, for months! What would we do without KT…

By the way, Welcome to Mayo Connect. What brought you to our forum today? What made this onion at Kwik Trip a special moment?
