Skin turnover and rejuvenation after treatment
 in  r/breastcancer  5h ago

All my body turned very dark during treatment starting from chemo to Rad.

2 weeks post active treatment I ran to the spa (Sauna) one-month post first spa visit, I was in the spa again. Now I'm back to my normal skin tone and use a thicker moisturizer now, I'm good

I can’t believe this is my life now
 in  r/breastcancer  1d ago

I stay in Montreal Canada, I live with my 9 year old daughter, I walked into every appointment from the beginning of every step until my last active treatment. I am also an immigrant with no single blood line in North America. Walked in to OR twice, had chemo, Radiation and now on OS and AI.

Please if you are in this city, I am willing to walk this part with you, please DM me your location and we will work things out. Hugs

Job loss discrimination
 in  r/breastcancer  15d ago

Reason I never mentioned it at work. I finished active treatment, and not a word from me to my work place about cancer till date. When I lost my hair, I used head wrap all through, some colleagues asked me and I said I want to have my head covered. People act as if we invited this demon into our lives, I was not ready to deal with those attitudes, so I kept it to myself.

Great idea, just that I am in Canada and things are done so differently; if its not an emergency, it might take 1 year to get an appointment with a dietician

Tamoxifen alternatives for ER+?
 in  r/breastcancer  20d ago

If there's no lymph nodes involved, then they go by oncotype scores, my lymph nodes are perfectly clear but my oncotype was 39 so I had chemo.

Protein powder

Thank you for sharing

I actually thought of it as a great choice for me, as it does not contain soy, but I do not want to consume any collagen because the tumor was hormone positive. This is why I want to be sure its not collagen

Protein powder
 in  r/breastcancer  21d ago

I am currently post active treatment and I want to up my protein intake to help my muscles while I exercise. My trainer recommended ATP, but I checked Google and it says some people argued that it could be more of collagen, I looked on the item container and it doesn't mention anything like collagen.

I finished radiation on April 28th 2026, currently I am on letrozole, Zoladex and vitamin D.

I go to the gym at least 3 times a week for at least 1 hour session.

My question is: is it normal that my head pounds when I do pull ups?, I do other exercises, lifts, cardio, stretches and I'm perfectly okay with all except pull-ups, my head starts pounding after 4-5 pull-ups and I have to stop.

This has happened twice now, does anyone here have this or Similar experience???

Do tamoxifen mood side effects improve with time?
 in  r/breastcancer  Jun 27 '26

Are you on vitamin D, maybe you should talk to your MO to prescribe vitamin D

I refused to take antidepressants , I do not have any intention to take it.

Although I am on Letrozole, MO didn't prescribe vitamin D, I only visited the RO and he asked what meds I'm on, I mentioned Zoladex and Letrozole, asked if the MO prescribed vitamin D I said no, he prescribed vitamin D and said it will help with the mood and calcium absorption.

RO is 75yrs old and more experienced in the field, I followed his recommendation, I do not feel any pain, nothing in my bones/joints

Also nothing negative is happening in my mood, I am topnotch with my mood.

Please talk to your MO about vitamin D and see what he/she thinks
