What brought you joy today?

Posted by northoftheborder @northoftheborder, Jun 28, 2024

If you've been living with cancer for a while, you know it's not all gloom and doom. Where did you find joy today? I'll start:

1. Working in my garden.
2. Meeting my daughter for tea.
3. Home-made pizza for dinner.
4. My spouse (always).
5. Some interesting online discussions.
6. Rereading a good novel.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

@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%

@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.

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!

@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.

@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?

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