This is a tough post for me to write, but it has to be done. I was diagnosed (9/13/16) with breast cancer and I still continue to fight. I was in remission for a few years, but a recent recurrence in July 2020 has cased me to enter hospice. I am doing what little I can to decluttter our home so my husband as less to contend with. All items are from a smoke free pet friendly home of 3 cats, and offers are always welcome.

paulaalbe1 Many Prayers for you. I also fight that awful "c" word. I have leukemia. I will keep you in my prayers. 😘🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. PK.

jenscloset01 @paulaalbe1 I know it's a long road and I will get through it. There is no nice way to say it but cancer SUCKS!!!

Sep 13Reply

paulaalbe1 You are correct! I even have a button that says that very thing. It is on a teddy bear for my Husband. He has stage 4 c. But he has made it years past prognosis. And this ugly stuff will have no power over us. Anytime you need to talk I am around. 🙏🏻😘. PK.

jenscloset01 9/14/16 Update: Just had my first treatment on 10/11/16, needless to say, it has knocked me on my butt with fatigue. I appreciate all the love and support, and of course the shares and sales as they all help me pay the bills since I have to take unpaid time off from work for treatment. But regardless I will kick cancers ASS!

jenscloset01 @zeldamc Hi Kate! thanks so much! I've got treatment #2 this tues. My hair has already been falling out so had to shave my head. God that was the hardest thing ever! But getting used to it. I know I'll get through this, just some days I just wish it was all over and done with.

jenscloset01 @zeldamc yep 4 meds total. Just hoping I bounce back quicker this time. First one kicked my butt.

Oct 31Reply

catwalk2reality Hair grows back Easy for me to say I know but your health is more important now . Cry when you need to scream when you want to . Don't be a super women . If needed take to your bed and just suck your thumb I've been I was doing just that one day 😘💗💗💗💗

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @zeldamc LOL! Hate it when the fingers have a mind of their own. Yep the waiting and countless tests sucked royally. MRIS, biopsys, cat scans, bone scans. Then the fun port surgery. Keep hoping I'm gonna get used to having this thing, but not so much yet.

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @bethresp Yep there were a lot of tears wed night. Too much hair in shower drain. Just didn't want to have to deal with it, just wanted this all to be over with. Luckily hubby was able to do the shaving for me. Was still crying when he started. Was a rough few days but getting better. Luckily already had a wig which is itchy as hell. Scalp is dry and flakey so any tips on what can help that is oh so appreciated

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @zeldamc mine is stage three, and had gotten into my lymph nodes but luckily it hadn't gotten anywhere else. Of course it's estrogen positive, and her2 positive. So I get monthly shots to shut down estrogen production. Nothing like menopause at 37. 😳

Oct 31Reply

catwalk2reality I didn't loose my hair no chemo mastectomy and radiation I was lucky Just use a scarf they are all the rage now I can't imagine going thru loosing my hair on top of everything else . But you will get through this and you will have hair again 😘 Really sucking your thumb can be therapeutic

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @bethresp Yep was not easy. I think it's the only thing to trump my fear of surgery and a potential mastectomy. Of course still haven't had the brac gene tested yet 😞

Oct 31Reply

catwalk2reality @zeldamc I wish there was a like button on here .

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @zeldamc Good to know! I've got 5 chemo treatments left, then surgery, radiation, and a year of maintenance meds. I know it's bearable and I will beat it, just some days I just want to be back to normal and not dealing with countless doc visits.

Oct 31Reply

catwalk2reality A mastectomy is just a boob job never forget that 😝 Your health is more important than boobs Of course I didn't think that at the time but I've gotten used to them now . No one even knows and I at 58 still wear a two piece shark bite scars and all . I PM'd you on FB get the book and have something to laugh about through the tears and really the thumb thing might help 😘

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @bethresp True! Never looked at it like that. Hoping they won't need to take any lymph nodes but may not be that lucky and I think that scares me more.

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @zeldamc Hehe, I guess so. 😊 thanks for all the info, it at least makes the unknown seem a wee bit less scary.

sporcellino Stage 2B, double mx, removed 14 lymph nodes, chemo and ovary removal. April 2017 will be my 5 year anniversary and will mark 5 years cancer-free! Take it day-by-day and don't look too far ahead. There may be a few tough times, but it will pass and one day you will be the one giving encouragement. Lifting you up in prayer!! 💜 😇😇

Oct 31Reply

sporcellino @jenscloset01 I hear you on that..... Cancer sucks but surgical menopause sucks too - as time goes by and you learn what helps you feel better and what doesn't, that will get easier also.

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @sporcellino my cancer is estrogen positive, so I get the monthly zolodex shot to interfere with estrogen production, so early menopause for me, no surgery required 😳. Still have to go through gene testing to find out if that form of surgery is in my future as well, otherwise it may just be shots for life once treatment is done. All I can say is hot flashes suck!

Oct 31Reply

sporcellino @jenscloset01 yes, they sure do.... my oncologist prescribed medication called clonidine which is a blood pressure medication for night sweats. I find it to be very effective.

Oct 31Reply

jenscloset01 @sporcellino Been lucky so far with night sweats, just hot flashes. Nothing like being your own personal space heater LOL

Nov 02Reply

jenscloset01 @shanwinans Awe, thanks girlie!! Total of 6 chemo treatments, then surgery/radiation and a years of maintenance drugs after surgery. The hair loss was the hardest part so far. You know it's going to happen, but it's still very hard to come to terms with.

jenscloset01 @bagladee TY! Not a happy camper today. Didn't get my scheduled neulasta (white blood cell stimulator) shot cause ins won't cover it. Apparently my blood counts have been really good so I'm considered low risk. They would rather I get sick and be reactive than proactive. Not happy.

alittlefabshop How are you doing sweetheart?

Nov 12Reply

jenscloset01 @cdelancey1018 Oy, it's been a rough few weeks. Ins wouldn't cover my Neulasta shot, which helps keep my white blood cell count up, so my counts dropped to the gutter putting me at high risk of infection. Finally got shot on wed, but was also put on antibiotics as a precautionary measure. #s finally out of danger zone today, so just trying to recoup. So not fun 😞

Nov 12Reply

Nov 17Reply

jenscloset01 @winterapparel Thanks so much! Luckily it's responding quite well to the treatment. Next one is Tues, and that will be my halfway point for Chemo. Thanks for the prayers and kind words, they truly are appreciated :-)

Nov 17Reply

mailersandmore So you have 6 rounds only of chemo? That's pretty cool! I hope you don't have radiation.

Nov 17Reply

jenscloset01 @winterapparel 6 rounds of chemo (once ever three weeks), then surgery and radiation, and maintenance chemo (only one of the 4 drugs) for an additional year. :-( So can't wait for this to all be over with so life can return to normal.

Nov 17Reply

mailersandmore maintenance chemo is a pill or every 3 weeks chemo still?

Nov 17Reply

jenscloset01 @winterapparel Not 100% sure as of yet. I believe its going to be either the Herceptin or Prejeta, probably via the normal treatment, but it hasn't really been discussed as of yet. Thinking they were waiting to see how I responded to the original round of chemo.

thevintagekat My mom is going through the same right now. It's awful. Hellish, really. I never knew how awful chemo was until now. That said, I keep telling her that there is an end in sight. And that end is being cancer free. So much love to you. One day at a time. Xo

Dec 06Reply

jenscloset01 @khennerty So true! But some days are rough, especially when faced with new and unpleasant side effects. I mean, who knew your fingernails could hurt so much? Any who, thanks for all the Love and support. It is very much appreciated and I will kick cancers butt!!!💕

Dec 06Reply

thevintagekat @jenscloset01 yeah- it's worse than I'd ever imagined. After each treatment she says, "I don't think I can do this anymore" followed by two weeks in bed almost 24/7 and MAYBE 5 days of a few hours of feeling halfway decent enough to wash dishes and doing a load of laundry. Her cancer is aggressive so they're treating it aggressively, they say. It breaks my heart. :(

Dec 06Reply

jenscloset01 @khennerty Mine is Stage 3, ER+,PR+, HER2+. HER2 is supposedly what makes it aggressive. They also have to give me a shot to disable estrogen production, throwing me into early menopause, oh yay! Its 4 different meds every three weeks. Herceptin, Prejeta, docetaxal, & carboplatin. Luckily, it's only 6 treatments. I feel ok right after treatment, its the days that follow that are hard. Then forcing myself to go back to work in between, which is getting harder to do, otherwise I don't get paid.

Dec 06Reply

tabithasbless Jennie, thanks for the like because it brought me to your closet. I'm sorry to hear about the breast cancer. I'll be a 10 year survivor next year. One one the toughest years of my life going through cancer, but it turned out to be the most blessed year also. It took a year to complete chemo X2 radiation and 3 surgeries. My prayers are with you during this tough season of your life 😘😘💕💙🙏🏼🙏🏼

Dec 12Reply

jenscloset01 @tabithasbless Thanks! It has been rough. Good days and bad, still waiting for them to do the gene test as well. At least chemo is halfway done, then there is radiation, surgery and a year of maintenance. It has responded well so far. Just the unknown of the remaining treatment is still scary. I know I will win the fight but at the same time I just want everything back to normal.

Dec 13Reply

tabithasbless @jenscloset01 Hang in there. So many times I wanted to give up but kept thinking about family and it continued to pull me through. 💪stay strong.

Dec 13Reply

jenscloset01 @tabithasbless Thanks! Its sometimes just more of a case of focusing too far ahead instead of just one day at a time. So many doc appts, just hard to find normalcy sometimes. I will get through it, just some days feel like not soon enough.

I know they will grow out, just not soon enough. Thanks so much for the love and support, I know I will get through this, just not soon enough.

Feb 11Reply

thevintagekat My mom (who I don't know how I'd love without) was diagnosed about the same time. Because her cancer is aggressive, they have to treat it aggressively. It's been so tough. She's been bedridden almost the entire time. They put off the lumpectomy last week until she is stronger & are now on a lighter chemo for the rest of the year. And then damn radiation.

Feb 11Reply

thevintagekat I'm so sorry you're going through this. I always knew the fight against breast cancer was bad, but never did I imagine it'd be this bad. I wish I could take it from her and go through all of this myself. Do what you have to do to get through it and when help is offered, take it. You're not alone.

jenscloset01 @thevintagekat Thanks for all the love and support. Chemo was truly the worst and not something I wish on my worst enemy. Will be on a year of Herceptin, and have to have surgery as well as radiation. Just want to be back to normal

Feb 11Reply

thevintagekat @jenscloset01 nor would I. I try my best to stay strong around her but every once in a while I break down and cry. I stop it as quickly as I can but it's just so hard to see. Her chemo yesterday was the first of the more mild. Herceptin (sp?) and one other for the rest of the year. Playing surgery timing by ear. One step at a time, right?

Feb 11Reply

thevintagekat I hate it when I'm off work and have the time to see her but my son or I are sick, even mildly, preventing us from seeing her. I want to yell at our bodies , "stay healthy, damnit! Mom needs us!"

Feb 11Reply

jenscloset01 @thevintagekat my doc tells me the "maintenance" chemo once ever three weeks for a year won't have the harsh side effects I had been dealing with, I can only hope. Just want to get through surgery but sounds like it's going to be the double mastectomy then reconstruction at a later date. Just so want to heal and be done

jenscloset01 @boobsshmoobs Thanks so much! I was out of work for 6 weeks from surgery, then immediately had to start radiation. That really took its toll, now just trying to get my energy back. I appreciate all the positive vibes, I know I'll get through it, just been frustrated as I just want it all to be over with.

May 20Reply

boobsshmoobs @jenscloset01 I know the feeling well! It's an extremely frustrating process... every step is a struggle. I'm sorry you even have to go through it... but remember... once you get through this... you can get through ANYTHING! A quick radiation tip someone's probably already told you: make sure you continue to moisturize the radiated area even AFTER it's over. 😉 I didn't experience any major irritation or burns until a week AFTER my final treatment.

May 20Reply

boobsshmoobs I shouldn't have said "major" - they weren't major - it was a bit irritating to wear tops but as long as I kept a protective barrier on those areas it was absolutely doable. 😉

mindydc245 Praying for you!!❤️ hope your ok my momma had that also

Jun 22Reply

dinasingh @mindydc245 my maternal grandmother had breast cancer in 1990 and my identical twin sister had breast cancer I n 2005. They both beat it. Now my adopted sister is undergoing chemo for breast cancer. Sadly, her mom died from breast cancer at the age of 54. It's a horrible disease. I pray that each or you beat it and that it doesn't return.

jenscloset01 @dinasingh Thanks! I just had my chemo maintenance today, the targeted med for her2. I'm doing better, hair is growing back, just can't wait for this to all be over.

Jun 22Reply

dinasingh @jenscloset01 I've kept my head shaved since she started treatment; just like I did for my twin. She's very much looking forward to her hair returning. Her mastectomy and reconstruction will occur at the same time and after her chemo. My twin had mastectomy, chemo, radiation, then reconstruction.

Jun 22Reply

jenscloset01 @dinasingh I had my mastectomy in feb, followed by radiation, so dealing with the lovely expanders. Reconstruction won't occur till probably nov/dec as there is a 6 mos delay after radiation finishes to give the affected area time to heal. I finally stopped wearing my wig a few weeks ago. Hair is still very short but a lot more comfortable than a wig

Jun 22Reply

dinasingh @jenscloset01 that's about the timeframe that my twin went through. She didn't like the wig either. My younger sister prefers a bandana.

sarahmc13 Hi! I have read these posts and I am so touched by your story and your fight! You are an amazing woman! 💞 I have shared your closet (absolutely NO sharebacks, please!). You are in my thoughts and prayers! Cancer has touched my life in ways that I cannot even begin to describe. You will beat this!!! Sending so much love...🌈💗🦋🐾🍀⭐️

jenscloset01 @jules729 I'm still on "maintenance" chemo, once every 3 weeks, hopefully finishing in sept. They have me on tamoxifen now as well. In addition to the weekly visits to add fluid to the expanders to prepare for final reconstruction.

Jul 08Reply

jenscloset01 @jules729 Awe, thanks! I've never looked at things that way mostly because work was something I had to do. If my journey helps at least one person then It's not for nothing. 💕

Jul 08Reply

jenscloset01 @jules729 The chemo still takes its toll and I do what I can on the weekends. I still have tons to list myself. Just keep with it 💕

Jul 08Reply

jenscloset01 @jules729 all I can say is to just keep trying to move forward. Even if you get one item photographed and listed, that's more than you had the day before. Resisting stale items counts as well. My husband always reminds me not to overdo it as I sometimes think I'm back to normal when I'm not. You can do it!! 💕

caro_blue @jenscloset01 I know this is late, but look at my profile pic. Don't you love my hair? Finally found a wig I'd wanted my hair to look like my whole life. 💁 what an up side! As for scalp, try pure shea butter and baby shampoo rather than regular. Hope this helps. 🙏

Jul 09Reply

jenscloset01 @rhydian I actually found a natural shampoo that worked wonders. Eclair Naturals makes an awesome Tea Tree & Lavender shampoo. Luckily my hair is coming back in now, but at the same time its starting to take on a mind of its own LOL

5thwardcloset I see the Poshers are providing plenty of support. Take note that I am one more person who hates cancer and is praying for you. Stay strong. 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Aug 02Reply

jenscloset01 @5thwardcloset TY! I'm getting there. Only three more rounds of Herceptin and then I'm done with chemo. All that will remain is my final reconstruction after they finish filling. Cancer sucks but it will not win.

Aug 02Reply

thevintagekat You just popped into my mind. I remember talking to you about my mom (breast cancer as well). She's gotten through the hardest part of treatment...wondering how you are. Happy positive thoughts to you. Hope you're still enjoying the a+a bracelet :)

jenscloset01 @thevintagekat I'm doing better. Surgery and radiation are done, almost done with m my chemo maintenance and all that will remain are my reconstruction surgery. I'm getting there. Thanks for checking in 💕

meraki_boutik Reading this thread was so inspiring; it had me in tears. Women are so strong! 💪🏼 I have a lot of health issues myself. I worked in fashion my whole life and after becoming too sick to do it anymore, I was so lost. I became extremely depressed, filled with anxiety. Posh has helped a lot, and I'm meeting some amazing women along the way. You are all so amazing. I'm glad there is a platform where we can help each other! If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out!! xxx, Vanessa

a_secret_closet @jenscloset01 - - God bless you Jen! I hope treatment is going well! ❤️

Feb 13Reply

jenscloset01 @nichelle_parker Thanks! Treatments and surgeries are done. Still on medications and waiting to see if I end up being put on a chemo pill, which I am not looking forward to, but the doc is pushing it cause I was in an "advanced" stage and the cancer was aggressive. Every day is a fight to return to some semblance of normalcy. Some days I don't even know what normal is.

Feb 13Reply

a_secret_closet @jenscloset01 - - Just keep pushing! Thank you for sharing your story. I need to go get my breasts checked too. I feel something I can’t explain. My younger sister had to have a benign cyst removed and now I’m worried I’m in the same boat too.

Feb 13Reply

jenscloset01 @nichelle_parker Well, for me I thought it was a cyst. It was not something that grew over time, it just appeared as if overnight, was moveable, and hurt like heck. Not what you expect from cancer. It's better to have it checked, have it be nothing than something. I was stage 3.

Feb 13Reply

jenscloset01 @nichelle_parker And trust me I understand the fear. I was adamant it was not cancer until the very end when my surgeon gave me the biopsy results.
