After weekly treatment for breast cancer, on the way home we would stop at a Hooters restaurant for lunch, cause the wait staff was young and lively, wings good and beer very cold.

Kudos on you guys fighting back hard and it obviously worked out for y’all!

You do get the irony of regularly going to Hooters while fighting Breast Cancer?

I think that’s excellent.

My wife had breast cancer, went through 4 rounds of the “red devil” then 12 of another lesser aggressive chemo.

My opinion the steroids were great for her, and I think some people saying it was the steroids giving them side effects may not be realizing how much the steroids were helping the first few days. At least that was my conclusion for my wife’s experience.

1st days after she had decent energy to still do stuff around the house. But could not do anything for very long, poor thing just had no endurance, hell almost 2 years later her endurance still isn’t to where it was before.

Cold capping was applicable to her diagnosis & treatment, it’s fairly costly, but was absolutely worth it for her psyche and I cannot recommend it enough!

Some days will suck, just be shite, mainly due to fatigue! She didn’t have much vomiting actually but there was still some nausea. It’s different for everyone. Some foods & smells that she loved suddenly made her queasy.

My mom and aunt had lumpectomies and it was probably medium tough. I think it was like a month or two of radiation treatments almost daily. Mostly, they were just tired, but not too sick. God bless anyone dealing with something more extreme.
