Last week there was a male patient being loaded into the glass HBOT chamber with a urine bottle, so that he could relieve himself if needed during his 2.5 hour “dive”. I was pissed, literally, because I was never given this option, well today, I was given my own bottle. 🥴😂. The thought of trying to maneuver my body over this bottle, while laying flat in a snug glass chamber, under bright lights, with a tech sitting directly next to me, is way too much excitement for me. I would end up wetting everything inside the chamber. Pew! Nah! I pass. 😂 #mylifeafterbreastcancer ~ Madame President ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #StopWantingEverythingYouSee #sspw #cancer #prayforshay #breastcancersurvivor #brokenribs #humor #gottalaughtokeepfromcrying #hyperbaricoxygentherapy #youngwomencananddogetbreastcancer #shaysharpespinkwishes (at Shay Sharpe's Pink Wishes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Y6VrLBdrg/?igshid=idptbiemoxuy

In 2004, I recall paying $10 to park at the hospital for every appointment, then daily for 7 weeks for radiation. It added up fast! I was thrilled when my 2014 radiation was given at a community location and I no longer had to pay. #MyLifeAfterBreastCancer ~ Madame President ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #sspw #prayforshay #parking #copays #cancer #breastcancer #shaysharpespinkwishes #patientassistance #chemo #radiation #patient (at Shay Sharpe's Pink Wishes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MpgojBCpw/?igshid=w75mywachy6i

EVERYDAY before my Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session, I must see a Dr to check my ears and lungs, to ensure they are both clear. My vitals are also taken by a tech immediately prior and after my session (Dive). Transportation costs & daily copays are tiring but thankfully the hospital gives me a free coupon so I don’t have to pay for parking. It’s the little things that get you over this cancer journey.. #MyLifeAfterBreastCancer ~ Madame President ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #sspw #prayforshay #cancer #breastcancer #hbot #brokenribs #radiation #breastcancersurvivor #igetbywithalittlehelpfrommyfriends #hyperbaricoxygentherapy #mylife #shaysharpespinkwishes #osteoradionecrosis (at Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KFn47B4zL/?igshid=1j3f7clu1idt6

Many of you have asked why must I undergo #HyperBaricOxygenTherapy. I underwent radiation in 2004 and again in 2014, when I had a breast cancer #recurrence. Due to the double dosage of radiation and the bone altering meds I’ve taken during my cancer treatment, three of my ribs are fractured. The condition is called osteoradionecrosis. ~ Madame President :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Osteoradionecrosis is bone death due to #radiation. The #bone dies because radiation damages its blood vessels. Osteoradionecrosis is a rare side effect that develops some time after radiation therapy has ended. It usually occurs in the lower jaw, or mandible. The lower jaw is at risk of osteoradionecrosis because it has a limited blood supply. Very rarely, osteoradionecrosis can start in the upper jaw, or maxilla. Osteoradionecrosis is caused by #radiationtherapy to the bone. It may develop years after radiation therapy for head and neck cancers. The risk of developing osteoradionecrosis increases when the dose of radiation received is greater than 60 grays. It is also higher if the bone treated with radiation is exposed. :: Managing Osteoradinecrosis. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room. It is done in a special chamber where the pressure inside is higher than the normal pressure of the atmosphere. The higher pressure allows more oxygen to get into your blood, which can help heal damaged and infected tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used in combination with wound care and surgery. The treatment plan often includes 20 treatments before surgery and 10 more treatments after surgery. This #treatment plan may be adjusted based on your personal situation and how well the #osteoradionecrosis responds to the hyperbaric oxygen therapy. {cancer.ca} :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #prayforshay #educate #cancer #breastcancer #brokenribs #survivor #2xbreastcancersurvivor #mylifeafterbreastcancer #youngwomencananddogetbreastcancer (at Shay Sharpe's Pink Wishes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_lGcYBsQL/?igshid=1qwj2tdqtffm9

HBOT Tech: Don’t take this the wrong way, but the Dr asked me if this is your real hair. Me: YES! This is my hair, Sir! I have #sisterlocks. Please know that if I was buying a wig or weave, I wouldn’t buy this short hair, I like my hair touching my butt! 💁🏽‍♀️. :: I can’t wear wigs, weaves, nail polish, lotion, deodorant, pins, glue or hair products during my daily Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions. #mylifeafterbreastcancer ~ Madame President ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #youngwomencananddogetbreastcancer #sspw #hair #shaysharpespinkwishes #postcancer #sideeftects #osteoradionecrosis #blonde (at Shay Sharpe's Pink Wishes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_iYZ7BPPM/?igshid=1p06bbyg6w7rv
