    Shit man, cancer drugs in general fucking suck. My wife was on tamoxifen for a year and she didn’t even have breast cancer, she’s just at very high risk. It’s played utter havoc with her hormones, causing all sorts of side effects in a systemic manner. To make matters worse, she metabolizes drugs very slowly, so it’s only now finally out of her system, months after ceasing treatment.

    Now she’s saying fuck it, gonna get ‘em lopped off and replaced with fakes; as much as we both love what she has, the constant fear and agita she’s been getting from them is terrible.

    This is with full knowledge and agency over what’s going on, so yeah, I get it, it’s [unintentionally] cruel to do to a pet.
