DOCETAXEL vs FLUOROURACIL CREAM

I just want to share my experience, I have frequented this sub occasionally since my diagnosis. I am a 37y old single gay man. Apparently breast cancer in men my age is incredibly rare. Just bad luck I suppose as there was nothing striking on the genetic tests. I was diagnosed in Nov 22. Since

I HAVE ACHIEVED PCR!!!!!!! I had my lumpectomy on Monday morning and the pathology just came back this afternoon. All margins clear, all lymph nodes clear. I was diagnosed in February at age 36 with TNBC, Stage IIB, and a Ki-67 of >90%. I joined the SCARLET clinical trial and did 6 rounds of Key

Hey everyone, It’s been just over three months since my father passed away, in April 2025. I feel like I’ve only now finally processed enough of the initial grief to put it all together. I’m sharing his story from the beginning to the end to honor him and in the hope that it can be useful to othe

I’m not asking for anything specific. I feel like I am all alone and that my experience with breast cancer is so different from others’. I feel so isolated and hopeless. I’m 51 and was in good shape and otherwise healthy when diagnosed with IDC hormone negative HER2 positive in late June. Small pri

Yesterday I was convinced that I will not need chemo due to what my surgical oncologist told me... she said if I'm HER2 negative (which I am) and if they find no lymph node involvement after surgery/SLNB (also true for me) then I can skip chemo and move directly to radiation and hormone therapy. But

First off, this is a follow up to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/cancer/comments/1hcxvaz/today_i_have_officially_crossed_the_halfway_point/) where I discussed my progress at halfway, so it felt relevant to follow up now that I'm on the downside and headed towards healing. Secondly, this is no

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading this subreddit for a while but finally decided to post. My dad is 59 and was diagnosed with prostate cancer about two years ago. It had already spread to his bones when they found it (de novo metastatic). He started with androgen deprivation therapy, which worked for

At my wife's job in an infusion center, she mixes chemotherapy drugs like Taxol, oxaliplatin, docetaxel, and cytoxin. She does the mixing under a fume hood, wearing a gown and gloves. There is no separation in her mixing room between the chemo drugs and the rheumatology drugs. The room is not negati

I'm a black 24 yo, and I finally decided to listen to the Rock music that gets so much praise. Outside of 3 albums, my only experience with rock music is from video game soundtracks, movies and TV commercials. I tried to go into each one with an open mind and as blind as possible, doing research aft

Hello. [Original post.](https://new.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/oefrtm/aita_for_picking_out_the_peas_from_my_dinner_in/) Thank you very much for your insight. I appreciate all the comments and also the awards. I think that's very cool to receive. Some comments said to talk about it with my m

This is my first post here, and I only have done this after telling the whole story to a friend who posts on Reddit and told me that this story had to be put here after telling him the whole story. This is a long post, you've been warned. ​ If revenge is best served cold, then my revenge

I went on a date last night with somebody that I met on an app. Let’s just say, the second I walked into the meeting place, I instantly knew I wasn’t attracted to him. Anyway, like most women do, I gave it a conversation to see if I’d be proven wrong. Unfortunately I was not. He didn’t ask me any qu

I, 45 M have one son, 16 M. He recently got his drivers license and a job at a small ice cream shop. His mother left almost as soon as he turned one, so we have a very open relationship. He tells me stuff most kids don't feel comfortable telling their parents and I'm so grateful for that, so when i

My sister is a genius. When she was about thirteen she made this device that honestly still blows my mind. I’ve spent my entire life studying physics and I still don’t know what she did, or how—which is probably for the best considering how this all played out. I don’t know how she did it, but what
