I’m sorry you are going through this too. It sucks and it’s even worse when people want to play cancer one-upmanship like it’s some sick competition but you don’t have to put up with that.

Take care and wishes for effective treatment for you.

Infusions is a term that means to put a liquid medication or water in your body through needle in vein. Chemo is done through infusions of slow drip medication or chemo pills. What are they giving you? Maybe a preventative medicine?

Not every cancer drug for every type of cancer is chemo. Google is your friend.

Unrelated to my question. Infusions of what? What is being infused into your body?

Google: Cancer drugs infusions.

PP has to be a Boomer if they can’t figure this out themselves…

So I asked what medication is being delivered into her bloodstream by infusion? Simple question that none of you seem to comprehend.

I’ve had chemo by infusion. Right now I have a chemo pill and a non chemo pill I take every day and I can name every drug I’ve taken by mouth or infusion . Is it immunotherapy?

You didn’t just ask what it was or share your experience. You explained that chemo can be infusion or pill, then suggested she was getting a preventive therapy rather than treating her cancer. Your question was off putting. If you can’t reread your post and consider how without tone of voice your writing could come across as negative, condescending, critical, or challenging, depending on the reader’s perception, I doubt that anyone’s post will satisfy you.

Everyone comprehended that you were asking what medication was in the infusion. PP either didn’t want to share on a public message board or didn’t want to share because of the way you came across. The fact that you assumed no one is smart enough to understand your question is another example of the negative tone in your posts.

This is the another version of the dynamic OP is talking about. It’s not sibling rivalry in this case, but a sort of dismissiveness of experiences that don’t line up with their own. Someone posted about an infusion other than chemo to treat her cancer. PP’s response is basically: that’s different from my treatment. What exactly is your medication? Maybe you’re wrong, I need the details so I can judge your accuracy. Why aren’t you sharing, do you not understand my question?

Are you or any of your siblings planning on having kids? Just mentioning it in case you haven’t thought about it before. You can use IVF with genetic testing to avoid passing on the BRCA gene to offspring.
