👋Welcome to r/cancersnark - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

Hey everyone! I'm [u/phunkydisco33](u/phunkydisco33), a founding moderator of [r/cancersnark](r/cancersnark).
This is our new home for all things related to being young and diagnosed with cancer. I’m not happy to be meeting virtually on these terms, but I feel like so many young (women especially) are getting cancer! wtf is that about?!

I’m in remission for breast cancer but in stopped my hormone blocker because menopause was making me foggy and also suicidal. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal in carcinoma stage 1B HER- ER + PR + with a yeeted right tit. I was pregnant while receiving AC. It all happened so fucking fast. And my oncologist sucked. I ended up getting chemo/post partum induced heart failure. It’s so annoying.

It’s menopause month! For those experiencing intense hormonal issues or experiencing menopause, this is your place.

My name is Phunky and I’m 31. At 29 I found out I had breast cancer in my right breast while pregnant. Right tit got yeeted 6 weeks later. Then my daughter and I started chemo 6 weeks post surgical date. It happened very fast. I lost my hair 12 days after starting chemo. I shaved it the next day, husband by my side and my son, loving warm, scared yet understanding as my belly gets bigger. I moved, gave birth, breast fed from left tit, resumed 12 rounds of taxol. I started radiation 3 weeks later and then with my third session I went into chemo/postpartum induced heart failure. Was in the icu for 18 days. Continued 22 more rounds of radiation. Then they put me on letrozole. Menopause is the scariest thing ever. It has left me brain fogged, brain dead, feelings of heavy zoning out, not making sense, skin and gum problems. Come bitch with me about the realities of what we’re going through. All is unique but we’re not alone, especially us young people. We will get through this. Share what’s on your mind, or the struggles post treatment. Share enthusiasm if you got that! But we are a rapidly growing community and we feel seen by you and your story.

It’s breast cancer awareness month 💝 send this to someone who has survived or is currently going through their journey.

we listen, we don’t judge🎀✨💗💝

Had one of those days. Can’t stay out of the bathroom feeling terrible but still have to go to work! My job is where I get my insurance so have to keep working! Stage 4 Mets in lungs. It doesn’t matter. This country doesn’t give a shit about us.
