  • Is it cancer? A couple months ago, I had my yearly breast MRI. A small spot lit up on that scan, so this MRI guided biopsy appointment was set up so we could get an update on the spot in question.

    So happy they didn’t need to do the biopsy!! I’m always dead tired after being at the hospital all day for appts. I had an ER doc freaked out not too long ago because they couldn’t believe that I hit my lifetime CT recommendation years ago. I had to explain that my team said that my GI failure will most likely cause a life threatening problem that would kill me if we didn’t CT as often as we do, long before radiation is a concern. You are so brave! I’ve been living in hospitals since I was a teenager and I can’t handle any procedure without sedation because of severe medical ptsd and anxiety. I wouldn’t have tolerated the biopsy. You have every right to be tired, we all understand if you’re not super up beat 24/7. I will keep praying for good scan results! I have to meet the first doc from my new team in a few weeks and I’m nervous!

    Awesome news Samantha! Sorry to hear about you feeling ill and your hot flashes. I have them too (hate em hate em hate em!!) I bought this little fan to wear around my neck which really looks like a set of Apple earphones and it is awesome. I wear it on bad days/ nights and just turn it on when I get a flash and it gives me instant relief. It has 3 settings too. Got it on Amazon. Nothing else helps me so think about that. I like that it looks like ear phones so no one knows it is a fan.
    I live in Canada (Ontario) and we wear masks everywhere in the hospitals (during chemo and radiation as well) and my husband is never allowed in with me. We also wear them in stores and in restaurants unless we are seated. Wearing them outdoors is optional on the streets. A lot of people still wear them. Try to get some fresh air and rest and feel better soon💪

    Dear Samantha,
    Happy great news! I've had the guided needle biopsy. After the numbing injection not at all painful.
    The wait for results terrifies me. I'm finally having my double radical mastectomy on August 31st. Forgive me if I already told you.
    I greatly admire you, so young in years but very wise. I get sick from the MRI'S, CT'S and PET SCANS too.
    Cramping and daily stomach ache. I guess I'm not the only one. I wish you a long life and the end of monster cancer. 💞

    • @SamanthaL

      Yes! I'm in Southern California. Los Angeles County. Again it's mandatory to wear a mask. I never stopped. I go to the market and I'm amazed at all the shoppers w/o their mask. Management doesn't say anything to them. Why is it mandatory in my county but not 12 miles away?? In fact why is it not mandatory for the entire country??

DeSantis, who took the initiative to set up free-of-charge Regeneron mobile clinics in many FL cities, where everyone with early-stage Covid is welcome to receive monoclonal antibody treatment. This has brought down Covid hospitalizations and deaths in a major way! Congrats on not having to have the breast biopsy. (I had one many years ago, and refuse to ever have another, lol.)

    In Brazil we are doing horribly at vaccination so we wear masks everywhere. We are doing a pretty good job at giving everyone the first dose, but... It's a 3-month wait for the second one! Yayy! Unless it's Sinovac's one, this is 28 max. Even tho Astrazeneca and Pfizer said "21 days is the best!!!!!!", we are still doing it at 12 weeks because they want to give us the illusion of a fast vaccination schedule, so... 🤷🏻‍♀️. I'm afraid we might not have enough doses for the second shots, but I also can't miss my dose (next saturday), or else it will be weeks til I get another chance 🙃 very interesting spot where we are at! I'll wear masks til we are covid free, but it depends on the entire world's vaccination, and most countries didn't have the money to buy it, so it'll take a while I guess
