Girl, you held yourself together while it was so obvious your heart was breaking. my heart broke for you. You are a rockstar and your videos are so inspiring! Thank you for everything you've done. ❤
I was going to comment something similar. That conversation, particularly your responses, the way your voice sounded on the phone, really sounded like how my voice sounded in my head last week. I was told in-office however, so I tried to wait until I got out the front door before I really lost it. This was helpful, at the very least to not feel alone.
Thank you so much for noticing that. LOL sometime I feel like I am just stuffing down my emotions to make others feel better. But I like being described as "nice" way more. ;-)
I remember the first time I watched this video. I wanted to hug you so much! So glad that you got through all of that and I wish you a lifetime of remission!
Coopdizzle I think about you soooooo often. You were one of my early sisters in this. I am heart broken with what you are having to go through. My prayers are always with you and I am sending you so much love.
Same I feel SOO SORRY 😭😭😭 that must of been so heartbreaking. I will share this like this subscribe to this and pray for this. She is so brave to go back up on RUclips and post this video with a smile 😭👍❤️
+Angela ProudMommy Congratulations Angela! I remember watching your vlogs and your reaction when you found out you had cancer. I'm so proud of you for coming this far. God bless you, your husband, and your kids!
Very unprofessional by the doctor - telling you on the phone like that. You shouldn't have been alone, and she should've waited with all that information, since you were clearly in chock. With that said, I'm so glad you've gone through treatment successfully. This video definitely made me tear up! You seem like a brave superhero-kind of woman.
R Beth The nurse who did my mammogram told me over the phone. She was very kind and reassuring, she set me up with a breast care coordinator who made all of my appointments for me during those first couple of weeks. It's not as unprofessional as it may sound.
OMG I would break down crying if I got the call I had cancer. I'm sure this was very hard for you and I applaud for you for being so strong even when you feel like your entire world is crashing down. Your intro really fits, your a very strong figure
I don't know you so I feel like I invaded a very private moment by watching it. I'm glad you stopped it at an early stage and thank you for sharing your experience. The doctor asked you if you knew anything about cancer. Most people don't know about cancer until it affects you or a relative. I've had 2 atypical results and no cancer yet. The process of having biopsies and the wait for the results is really stressing
I've never seen this before. When you hung up the phone and broke down I started crying with you and got the biggest desire to give you a hug, even though I don't know you. This was so hard to watch. I'm so glad that things are going well for you. I hope that they keep being positive.
Cancer Grad I realized after losing my mom to stage4 Lung/Liver Cancer I scheduled after procrastinating about finding a new gyno and getting my yearly paps and. hopefully scheduling my first mammogram ever and I'm nervous
Cancer Grad I'm so sorry I wish I could have been there to hug you when you found out its hard I don't have it I never did but my grandmother is fighting against breast cancer it's hard to even look at her without crying.
I wanted to hug you so much when I first watched this. I was utterly heartbroken when I saw your hand shaking, and how you were trying so hard to hold it all in while on the call. But this makes me all the more prouder of you now that you've beat cancer. I knew you could do it, and you did it. Now I myself have been recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, and one of the first videos I went to was this one. The utter hope, strength, and "I can do this" attitude vibes coming from this are overwhelmingly beautiful. God bless you. You're an amazing, strong woman, an inspiration to us all.
I am a nurse at a primary care office. We do a lot of preventive screening so we have to make that call a lot. These videos are helpful to see from the other side. From what you said I think I will start doing follow up calls two days latter for the people that didn't record the calls like you. I am so glad you beat it!!
My mom passed from breast cancer 5 years ago. I will get my first mammo in 1.5 years (at 35). This is my worst fear. Her diagnosis was a shock to us all. I am scared to have kids because I don't want them to go through what I went through. Cancer takes so much than a physical toll. It's emotional and spiritual impact is just as great, if not greater. I'm happy you've done well and pray you continue to do well.
Despite what the media would have you believe, the median age is like 68 for this disease. 35 is a good time to start screening if you want to stay on top of it. My mom (72) said her doc told her “if you get an annual screening there is almost zero chance such a disease can not be effectively cured “. Not “zero” but close enough that you should worry more about fastening your seat belt when in a car.
You are so brave. I would have freaked out on the spot. I found a lump in my neck last Friday, bloodwork came back clear but I wasn't convinced. So I'm pressing it further. Hope that everything is okay, and I hope that you carry on being your brave self
If you've been tested and nothing was wrong then it's not cancer lol. I've got a lump on my neck too and it's just a slightly enlarged lymph node. I had strep throat about ten years ago and it enlarged then and never went back to its original size. It's not as large as it was then and is JUST barely large enough to notice it if I press down on the side of my neck. Anyways, what I'm getting at, is that it might just be enlarged due to a sickness or something!
Bless your heart. I was just diagnosed with cancer and I know how heart wrenching and scary it can be. You're so strong and brave and have motivated and encouraged me to video my journey on youtube too. Youre an inspiration.
Holy crap. I found you by search for "how to finish ash" It ran came up with your "How To Do It" on staining. I just wanted to watch a beautiful woman teach me how to do different things. Funny, sexy, educational and above all else entertaining. Then the "Up Next" switched to this channel. I'm blown away by you. My father passed 2 years ago after being diagnosed with cancer. This video gave me a true insight into that actual moment where a strong and smart person gets the news there is a monster living in them. It's something that my father never talked about (too much of a "man's man"). Thank you so much for shedding the light on it and being willing to share such a personal moment. Now back to the good stuff. The doc(s) did a great job on those new ta tas and mixed with the return of that ginger hair...you are looking stunning as ever! Your husband is a lucky guy. Funny, hot and an all around cancer kicking badass. Good luck on the rest of your endeavors. Also, bring back the hot cheeky side of the how to videos. It sucks watching the fat old guys (like me) wood work and DIY all the time. It's nice to see you mixed in there as a pallet cleanser!
Your reaction to the diagnosis absolutely shook me up. I'm so moved. I've not watched any of your videos before today, but I'm just... no words. You brave brave lady. You're incredible.
Your reaction was just like my Moms. She was 36 when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, she went with a double mastectomy and did chemo / radiation. She was clear for 4 yrs and it returned to stage 4 in both lungs. My Mom was very religious and didn't really listen to when the Dr. said she only had a few months. She was clear within 3 months from lung cancer and using the same chemo for her breasts. It was kind of blessing that is was the one from her breast that metastasized to her lungs so they new how to treat it. 2 years later though was her brain. She found out 4 days before her birthday that she had 13 lesions in her brain. She underwent the gamma knife radiation at UCSF and had brain surgery. She lost most of her motor skills and this was the cancer that she lost the battle too. Your video inspires me. May God bless you to be cured from any cancer. Thank you for sharing your story and to encourage them to get checked. I get checked yearly for my Mammograms since I was 25. God bless you 😘
You're such a beautiful person! Soul and all. I'm so glad everything ended up okay. Getting a biopsy tomorrow for a swollen lymph node, your videos are making me less anxious.
I just got diagnosed yesterday July 12, 2017 and I went right to RUclips and found you!! Thank you being here for me!! I will be watching more of your videos!! I am only 33 years old but you have inspired me to do a vlog!! I am gonna dance too!! Thank you so much!!
I found a lump on my breast and was too scared to tell anyone so i started watching ur video and after a year ur video finally made me go gets it tested and today I got the whole CLEAR I needed to share this with you cus you are making more people go forward and test it thankyou so much i pray that you will one day recover fully xxxxxxxxx stay strong xxxx
I wish I could wrap my arms around you a thousand times, I have been exactly where you are and sitting in my car right now waiting for a follow-up call at 4 p.m. after surgery after cat scan after blood work waiting
glad to see you ok again. just saw your video a couple of days it's all fun then I saw this part I didn't know you had cancer. Now I'm glad to see your getting better while watching other videos it's getting emotional. God bless you pretty girl
OMG u r so brave. I can't imagine getting that phone call, I can't believe u could even have an conversation after that! Congratulations on getting through that and for being a great inspiration!
Thank you so, so much for posting this. I was diagnosed three weeks after my wedding with TNBC sept of 2015, I have almost finished chemo and will have my mastectomy in March. It has been so hard to find and hear stories from other young survivors, and your honesty and willingness to be fully open about the experience is insanely inspiring. THANK YOU!
+Stephanie Noble I am so sorry you are having to go through this. But Holy COW you are kicking some major butt (and your marriage will be able to get through anything after this).
I was diagnosed B-cell lymphomas which are types of lymphoma affecting B cells. Lymphomas are blood cancers" in the lymph nodes. They develop more frequently in older adults and in compromised individuals.I remember being on my knees praying, “God, I will fight as hard as I can if you just let me get through this chemo stuff.” When I went in, Dr. Noy said, “I have something that’s going to help. I’m going to give you Procrit after you get your chemo.” Once I got the Procrit, I never felt again like I had after that first chemo treatment. I got tired and I didn’t feel 100 percent, but I was really okay. My cancer became very real to me once I lost my hair. But by then the mystery, the uncertainty, was sort of gone. Not gone, but it just wasn’t at the forefront. There were things that I started looking forward to doing, like going out and not just staying in the house. By then, the weather had started getting really nice, and I decided I needed to get out. I would go for a long walk or take the subway into the city and look in the store windows. It’s funny, people I didn’t know would chat with me on the bus, on the train. We would talk about anything. That made me feel a lot better. It come a day when i was told by a lady to try and do some research on the internet for help maybe there will be a cure to my Cancer.I google for treatment for cancer and i saw some testimony about the herbalist called Dr ODIA and the great work of his Herbal Herbs. With the hope i have in God i believe this to be the end of my problem for i have pray for a solution from God. I contact Dr ODIA with the giving email and also click on his website to see his work. I finally believed in him and told him about my problem. He prepare His Herbal medicine and which I was advice to take for three weeks, There are lot to say about Dr Odia, I Thanks God that this man was used to end my sorrow All my pains and sorrows turn to joy and history from the day i came in contact with Dr ODIA, Who really help with his herbal herbs, I WAS TOLD HE IS A HERBALIST AND HE CAN BE OF HELP, I gave him a try and it really work out for me, today here I'm cured of B-cell lymphomas. Contact him via: (drodiaherbalistcenter@gmail.com ) +2349076581184.
I was recently diagnosed with another type of cancer. I was told over the phone. I was glad the doctor told me right away rather then keep me waiting any longer.
oh God the poor woman. that's really hard. I'm glad you got through it though. you are an inspiration to others who have suffered the same. thank you xxxxxxxx
You're a rock star! You broke my heart watching the beginning, but I'm so happy you're ok now...I had colon cancer, stage 4, and I beat it too, welcome to the survivors club, you're AMAZING!!!!!
My Nana passed away a couple years before I was born. She had breast cancer and originally beat it with chemo, but got into a car accident and the stress on her body caused it to come back. My mum gave me her name, and I don't know your views regarding spirituality but I have always felt a weird connection to her. Maybe that's just me inquiring into what she would have been like. My mum is almost the age she was now, and I want to make sure she gets checked often. This video really made me emotional, but not in a negative way. I plan on getting a preventative mastectomy when I'm done having kids and breastfeeding them. I worry about the women in my family who are at risk, but I also know it's not always a sad story and can even be empowering
Ur so beautiful even going through all that u was put through u still kept ur beautiful looks..I'm sure ur just as beautiful inside as u r on the outside ...u r one brave person to be able to get on utub with such a personal thing to go rhrough..tyy for that...I don't think I could be that strong as u r...may u live many many more years being cancer free and not sick all the time too..ty for sharing for us..
Thank you for sharing your very personal moment with us. Your moment resonated with me...the shock you relayed was so similar to mine when I received the phone call from the nurse. I knew I had cancer, but hearing those words....was life-changing. STIN YGEIA MAS! xoxo
I am finishing my treatments May7/2019 started Dec.8/2017. That was hard news to get over the phone and you could see the shock on your face....but I feel for me looking back it went quick and wasn't as bad as some of the stories I heard..and staying positive helps.
Hi, i don't even know you but by watching this video i feel happy for you that you made it throught! You look so good and healty and i hope that your videos will be a inspiration for those who have to go through this!
I'm gonna get this call soon. Being sent for a biopsy. Just found out 2 days ago. Oral cancaer. I'm highly intuitive. My gut is ALWAYS right. When you know you know. 😟 A bless and a curse, to know things. You're a badass little warrior, there, mama. Proud of you. ❤
I see others have posted this to you, I thought it was very unprofessional of the doctor to tell you over the phone, let alone when you are not with someone. That is a Trumatic event for someone to absorb and I can’t imagine being told this over the phone. Sweetie you brought tears from my eyes whenever you were crying and she tells you especially after you hung up with her. That is Trumatic. I am so glad that you are better now. God was definitely with you as he always is with us. God bless you sweetie and I hope you stay cancer free.
TheBennie102103 or at least waited until u were able to get someone or a couple friends together before she told u the bad news..this reminded me of a friend that my hubby and I took care of shows even going to his cancer drs.office close to the end or to the last apt.that the dr.pretty well knows he told us if he's not eating don't make him cause he's going to die aywy ...I thought the dr.should of told us not in front of him..
I will remember till the day I die getting that 10PM phone call saying that I had advance Stage 4A Ductal Prostate Cancer. (Ductal Prostate Cancer does not raise your PSA nor show up with digital exams). Why do the doctors give people that information over the phone and then expect people to be able to deal with it. I am so sorry. My wife and I just hugged each other for the rest of the night. Glad to hear you are doing well.
God bless you, you're so brave !!! Thanks God you caught it early and by the way you look great I hope you feel great too, May God continue to bless you so that you can be an example for those who are facing the same situation👍👌🙏🙂
wish I could of been there to give you a big hug... you are an inspiration thanks for loading your experience ... maintaining health maintenance is so important
This girl this very girl Is the strongest being on earth she kept so calm with the lady on the phone she was very sad as who wouldn’t but she fought she fought hard until she won nobody should NEVER EVER have to go through this especially bc her mum died bc of it but I speak for all of us when I say you inspire us all u kept positive and fought until u won the fight so go,go now and give someone u love a hug no matter ur mum ur dad ur sis ur bro ur dog ur bed ur food whatever or whoever u want and tell them u love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Boo, This is Q. I'm so glad that you are okay now. you are a trooper. I love you to pieces. Seeing this is so hard. Im doing a breast biopsy on this coming Monday. This video helps me to be positive and ready for anything..
Hey Q, Sending you a bunch of love for your test. Fingers crossed. Take the rest of the day off after your biopsy if you can. I was shocked at how sore I was (and emotionally drained). LOVE OU BUNCHES!!!
Hey everybody, it’s me again, I’m the last guy who commented on this video…...... on Monday I go in for a bone marrow biopsy to determine what stage my leukaemia is at, I didn’t even know I had to keep me up until yesterday, which was Tuesday. My story is too long and complicated to say all of it, previous to this I’ve dealt with Crohn’s disease and colon cancer, I’ve been through three relapses of cancer, And now between the two diseases I have only 5% of my entire gastrointestinal tract left, I have finally started to feel better after going for a whole year without one surgery (from the ages of 20 - 49). In total I’ve had 33 brutal operations, countless therapies and procedures, I’ve been clinically dead once after my colon ruptured, and nearly 3 more times well on the operating room table because my kidneys failed. I’ve been feeling kind of sluggish lately, so my doctor sent me to a hematologist, whom I’ve been seeing every three months to monitor my levels. Well two days ago on Monday I had bloodwork and an x-ray, the chest x-ray was fine, but the doctor called me yesterday to tell me that my Red and white blood cell counts are through the roof, combined with many other factors from previous tests, they are 100% certain I have leukemia, at least I’d beat the colon cancer, now there’s a new challenge in my life. On Monday I have to go for a bone marrow biopsy, something I am not looking forward to, so watching your video is making me, well, to be honest, even though I’m a man, I’m in tears right now, and to be honest I’m absolutely terrified i’m not gonna live to see my 50th birthday. I fought so hard over the past 29 years to get through all those operations and attacks of cancer, and now this happens. If any of you are religious please pray for me, no I am not A troll, I wish that was the case, unfortunately on being quite serious. If only I had no one in my life is going to be I really would’ve appreciated the first 20 years of my life, because that was the only time that I was relatively healthy, even though my had five different surgeries. Thanks for letting me vent, I’m not gonna give up, I’m going to fight kick and scream until the very end, but it just seems to me that sickness will not release its grasp on me, it says if I am not meant to be healthy, but to be sick as hell for the rest of my life. That being said, I’m also a man of faith, I believe that no matter what I’ve been put through, it’s been for a good reason, because I’ve been able to help so many other people who are just starting out with Crohn’s disease or colon cancer, I’ve helped hundreds, if not thousands of people deal with their illness, and I’ve met some absolutely wonderful people that I would have never met otherwise, so I do believe that no matter what, even in the very worst of times like now, something good and something positive can come from it, which is why I tell my story to as many people as I can, With the hopes of being able to help others, which is the one thing in life, the only thing in life, that brings me pure joy and happiness. So as I start this new journey to fight off the leukaemia growing within my bone marrow, while I am scared, I’m also curious as to see how things are going to turn out and who I’m going to meet this time, praying that I’ll be able to help as many people as I can even if this disease kills me. I’m not just one man, I am but one voice in a chorus of millions, the louder I scream more people I can help, So again, thank you for listening, let’s see where this takes me, thank God for universal healthcare and being Canadian! If I was the new United States I will be in debt for the rest of my life!
I had a tumor in my wrist and had the same reaction to being diagnosed. I thought it was going to mutate into cancer. Thankfully, it just formed and I got it removed right away. I'm a male. Lol. I feel stupid. Great job on survival. My prayers stand tall :)
Awww I cried so much. My heart aches so badly that would be really scary to have your whole life flipped upside down with one phone call. I'm glad you're done with cancer. Btw I'm 11 and I can even imagine what it was like for you. Good job fighting!💪🏻❤️
I clicked on this because I lost my mother to stage four lung cancer and wonder what went through her head when she heard. She had a stiff upper lip personality so I wasn't sure. She tried to be strong and died within a week of diagnosis. I wonder if you were thinking about your mother who died when you got your diagnosis. I don't know if you have young children or a loved one you don't want to leave. How very difficult and thanks for sharing it because we need to be closer to people with cancer and we need to know how it feels. Prayers for you to stay healthy and I will get my next mammogram.
Actually the finding and the outcome here is not bad at all. It’s the best of the “bad”. But the way it was delivered was so inappropriate. Of course, if they had told her it was not cancer....she wouldn’t have saved the video and it would have been forgotten. By the way, number one cancer killer of women - lung. Don’t start smoking. We can take those numbers down 80-90% if nobody smoked.
It's great she shares her story, and very happy she appears to be on her way to beating cancer long term. On the other hand, it is a shame that so much attention is paid to breast cancer. It has a very high survival rate, yet it gets so much of the available funding that it chokes out diseases that need the money, and attention so much more than breast cancer.
who else thought she was really calm when she was on the phone?!
I did. ;-)
Jesus Christ I am so sorry. That was the hardest thing I've ever had to watch. I'm so sorry. You're so brave. I'm so glad you're okay.
within 3 hrs of my first scan, mammo, ultrasound, biopsy, prelim. official results 6.16.16
+harley mama tears rolling down my face while doing biopsy. this reaction was me. tear up everytime.
poor lady. her face just dropped when she found out. I'm so glad she was so brave and her strength got her through it.
the doctor couldn't of been so more supportive. she was so nice to her.
Girl, you held yourself together while it was so obvious your heart was breaking. my heart broke for you.
You are a rockstar and your videos are so inspiring! Thank you for everything you've done. ❤
Willow, Thank you so much for your utterly kind words. It has been an experience, to say the least. Grateful that I get to share it with all of you.
Cancer Grad h7c
This is exactly how I reacted...all I could say was "okay".
RIGHT? What else can you say?
I was going to comment something similar. That conversation, particularly your responses, the way your voice sounded on the phone, really sounded like how my voice sounded in my head last week. I was told in-office however, so I tried to wait until I got out the front door before I really lost it. This was helpful, at the very least to not feel alone.
It so amazing how she waited to hang up to cry, and she still manage to be really nice to the woman she was speaking to, that's being really strong.
Thank you so much for noticing that. LOL sometime I feel like I am just stuffing down my emotions to make others feel better. But I like being described as "nice" way more. ;-)
I remember the first time I watched this video. I wanted to hug you so much! So glad that you got through all of that and I wish you a lifetime of remission!

My Breast Choice Thanks love! I shared this on my page.
Same I feel SOO SORRY 😭😭😭 that must of been so heartbreaking. I will share this like this subscribe to this and pray for this. She is so brave to go back up on RUclips and post this video with a smile 😭👍❤️
same here
Wow. How touching was this video? I am a 4 month cancer survivor. (Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma) Thank you for sharing your story.
+Angela ProudMommy Congratulations Angela! I remember watching your vlogs and your reaction when you found out you had cancer. I'm so proud of you for coming this far. God bless you, your husband, and your kids!
Angela ProudMommy keep fighting girl
Very unprofessional by the doctor - telling you on the phone like that. You shouldn't have been alone, and she should've waited with all that information, since you were clearly in chock. With that said, I'm so glad you've gone through treatment successfully. This video definitely made me tear up!
You seem like a brave superhero-kind of woman.
I agree
It's not really unprofessioal. Oncologists are very busy doctors.
R Beth The nurse who did my mammogram told me over the phone. She was very kind and reassuring, she set me up with a breast care coordinator who made all of my appointments for me during those first couple of weeks. It's not as unprofessional as it may sound.
R Beth just because they're really busy doesn't mean they should tell people over the phone like this. Very bad bedside manner
R Beth Busy or not, schedule your patient to come in to ho over results! That was a cold, and callous call!
OMG I would break down crying if I got the call I had cancer. I'm sure this was very hard for you and I applaud for you for being so strong even when you feel like your entire world is crashing down. Your intro really fits, your a very strong figure

this was so sad watching....😢 I hope I never get cancer😢😭😿

Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for watching.

Holy crap. I found you by search for "how to finish ash" It ran came up with your "How To Do It" on staining. I just wanted to watch a beautiful woman teach me how to do different things. Funny, sexy, educational and above all else entertaining.
Then the "Up Next" switched to this channel. I'm blown away by you. My father passed 2 years ago after being diagnosed with cancer. This video gave me a true insight into that actual moment where a strong and smart person gets the news there is a monster living in them. It's something that my father never talked about (too much of a "man's man"). Thank you so much for shedding the light on it and being willing to share such a personal moment.
Now back to the good stuff. The doc(s) did a great job on those new ta tas and mixed with the return of that ginger hair...you are looking stunning as ever! Your husband is a lucky guy. Funny, hot and an all around cancer kicking badass. Good luck on the rest of your endeavors. Also, bring back the hot cheeky side of the how to videos. It sucks watching the fat old guys (like me) wood work and DIY all the time. It's nice to see you mixed in there as a pallet cleanser!
+Chad Ralston Thank you for the amazingly kind words and I am so sorry for your loss.
Your reaction to the diagnosis absolutely shook me up. I'm so moved. I've not watched any of your videos before today, but I'm just... no words. You brave brave lady. You're incredible.
Your reaction was just like my Moms. She was 36 when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, she went with a double mastectomy and did chemo / radiation. She was clear for 4 yrs and it returned to stage 4 in both lungs. My Mom was very religious and didn't really listen to when the Dr. said she only had a few months. She was clear within 3 months from lung cancer and using the same chemo for her breasts. It was kind of blessing that is was the one from her breast that metastasized to her lungs so they new how to treat it. 2 years later though was her brain. She found out 4 days before her birthday that she had 13 lesions in her brain. She underwent the gamma knife radiation at UCSF and had brain surgery. She lost most of her motor skills and this was the cancer that she lost the battle too. Your video inspires me. May God bless you to be cured from any cancer. Thank you for sharing your story and to encourage them to get checked. I get checked yearly for my Mammograms since I was 25. God bless you 😘
And I'm currently eating a breast cancer awareness cookie. I'm so glad you're okay now
You're such a beautiful person! Soul and all. I'm so glad everything ended up okay. Getting a biopsy tomorrow for a swollen lymph node, your videos are making me less anxious.
Thank you. I am glad it is helping you. How did you biopsy go?

glad to see you ok again. just saw your video a couple of days it's all fun then I saw this part I didn't know you had cancer. Now I'm glad to see your getting better while watching other videos it's getting emotional. God bless you pretty girl
OMG u r so brave. I can't imagine getting that phone call, I can't believe u could even have an conversation after that! Congratulations on getting through that and for being a great inspiration!
Thank you so, so much for posting this. I was diagnosed three weeks after my wedding with TNBC sept of 2015, I have almost finished chemo and will have my mastectomy in March. It has been so hard to find and hear stories from other young survivors, and your honesty and willingness to be fully open about the experience is insanely inspiring. THANK YOU!
+Stephanie Noble I am so sorry you are having to go through this. But Holy COW you are kicking some major butt (and your marriage will be able to get through anything after this).
I so wish they can find a cure for all cancer!!!! geeze
I'm getting a biopsy on both sides tomorrow. Finding your video is priceless. Thank you for sharing your story.
I was diagnosed B-cell lymphomas which are types of lymphoma affecting B cells. Lymphomas are blood cancers" in the lymph nodes. They develop more frequently in older adults and in compromised individuals.I remember being on my knees praying, “God, I will fight as hard as I can if you just let me get through this chemo stuff.” When I went in, Dr. Noy said, “I have something that’s going to help. I’m going to give you Procrit after you get your chemo.” Once I got the Procrit, I never felt again like I had after that first chemo treatment. I got tired and I didn’t feel 100 percent, but I was really okay. My cancer became very real to me once I lost my hair. But by then the mystery, the uncertainty, was sort of gone. Not gone, but it just wasn’t at the forefront. There were things that I started looking forward to doing, like going out and not just staying in the house. By then, the weather had started getting really nice, and I decided I needed to get out. I would go for a long walk or take the subway into the city and look in the store windows. It’s funny, people I didn’t know would chat with me on the bus, on the train. We would talk about anything. That made me feel a lot better. It come a day when i was told by a lady to try and do some research on the internet for help maybe there will be a cure to my Cancer.I google for treatment for cancer and i saw some testimony about the herbalist called Dr ODIA and the great work of his Herbal Herbs. With the hope i have in God i believe this to be the end of my problem for i have pray for a solution from God. I contact Dr ODIA with the giving email and also click on his website to see his work. I finally believed in him and told him about my problem. He prepare His Herbal medicine and which I was advice to take for three weeks, There are lot to say about Dr Odia, I Thanks God that this man was used to end my sorrow All my pains and sorrows turn to joy and history from the day i came in contact with Dr ODIA, Who really help with his herbal herbs, I WAS TOLD HE IS A HERBALIST AND HE CAN BE OF HELP, I gave him a try and it really work out for me, today here I'm cured of B-cell lymphomas. Contact him via: (drodiaherbalistcenter@gmail.com ) +2349076581184.
I don't think that you could be any more spectacular than you are! Thank you for sharing this intimate moment, and more than that, the happy ending!
That's exactly how I feel one day ago. I cry just like that. Thanks for your videos.
I was recently diagnosed with another type of cancer. I was told over the phone. I was glad the doctor told me right away rather then keep me waiting any longer.
Brave woman, we've got to also appreciate the medical professionals who dedicate their lives to health care. Hope your doing well Aniela.
I wish you all the luck of the world! Big hugs!
thank you for sharing. I will be getting my results next week and will remember your strength.
oh God the poor woman. that's really hard. I'm glad you got through it though. you are an inspiration to others who have suffered the same. thank you xxxxxxxx
You're a rock star! You broke my heart watching the beginning, but I'm so happy you're ok now...I had colon cancer, stage 4, and I beat it too, welcome to the survivors club, you're AMAZING!!!!!
I’m a man dealing with this right now, very concerned atm but I’m happy that you’re okay now
My Nana passed away a couple years before I was born. She had breast cancer and originally beat it with chemo, but got into a car accident and the stress on her body caused it to come back. My mum gave me her name, and I don't know your views regarding spirituality but I have always felt a weird connection to her. Maybe that's just me inquiring into what she would have been like. My mum is almost the age she was now, and I want to make sure she gets checked often. This video really made me emotional, but not in a negative way. I plan on getting a preventative mastectomy when I'm done having kids and breastfeeding them. I worry about the women in my family who are at risk, but I also know it's not always a sad story and can even be empowering
This is heartbreaking, I am so glad you got through this! To see you learning this in real-time is surreal...
Ur so beautiful even going through all that u was put through u still kept ur beautiful looks..I'm sure ur just as beautiful inside as u r on the outside ...u r one brave person to be able to get on utub with such a personal thing to go rhrough..tyy for that...I don't think I could be that strong as u r...may u live many many more years being cancer free and not sick all the time too..ty for sharing for us..
Thank you for sharing your very personal moment with us. Your moment resonated with me...the shock you relayed was so similar to mine when I received the phone call from the nurse. I knew I had cancer, but hearing those words....was life-changing. STIN YGEIA MAS! xoxo
This makes me want to waste no more time in life really opened my eyes that phone call thanks for sharing.
This is so sad.. I'm so sorry hopefully you are doing much better! Love u girl
I am finishing my treatments May7/2019 started Dec.8/2017. That was hard news to get over the phone and you could see the shock on your face....but I feel for me looking back it went quick and wasn't as bad as some of the stories I heard..and staying positive helps.
I was told on the phone while I was on my lunch break at work. Its pretty devastating. I was right there with you Aneila.
It's so good to see you back. You were gone for such a long time...It's good to see you back.
Congrats on the success on your struggle.
Oh man, it's a VERY good thing that you're better now.
Hi,
i don't even know you but by watching this video i feel happy for you that you made it throught! You look so good and healty and i hope that your videos will be a inspiration for those who have to go through this!
I'm gonna get this call soon.
Being sent for a biopsy.
Just found out 2 days ago.
Oral cancaer.
I'm highly intuitive.
My gut is ALWAYS right.
When you know you know.
😟
A bless and a curse, to know things.
You're a badass little warrior, there, mama.
Proud of you. ❤
i don’t even remember my reaction when i found out i was diagnosed. i blanked out
Oh my goodness! Why would any doctor give you results like that over the phone?
I see others have posted this to you, I thought it was very unprofessional of the doctor to tell you over the phone, let alone when you are not with someone. That is a Trumatic event for someone to absorb and I can’t imagine being told this over the phone. Sweetie you brought tears from my eyes whenever you were crying and she tells you especially after you hung up with her. That is Trumatic. I am so glad that you are better now. God was definitely with you as he always is with us. God bless you sweetie and I hope you stay cancer free.
Lady I wish u the very best after such an experience
they should not have told you over the phone like that, they should have had you come in and be told in person, very unprofessional doctors
TheBennie102103 or at least waited until u were able to get someone or a couple friends together before she told u the bad news..this reminded me of a friend that my hubby and I took care of shows even going to his cancer drs.office close to the end or to the last apt.that the dr.pretty well knows he told us if he's not eating don't make him cause he's going to die aywy ...I thought the dr.should of told us not in front of him..
And the dr.said just take him to e to die...
Do not speak on things you know nothing of. Life is not a hollywood movie.
I think about you often which is weird for someone I don't know at all. It's good to see you back. Congrats on your remission
OnceUponAThrift You are so sweet. Thank you!
I will remember till the day I die getting that 10PM phone call saying that I had advance Stage 4A Ductal Prostate Cancer. (Ductal Prostate Cancer does not raise your PSA nor show up with digital exams). Why do the doctors give people that information over the phone and then expect people to be able to deal with it. I am so sorry. My wife and I just hugged each other for the rest of the night. Glad to hear you are doing well.
God bless you hun !! U are such a strong women ! Thanks for sharing !
God bless you, you're so brave !!! Thanks God you caught it early and by the way you look great I hope you feel great too, May God continue to bless you so that you can be an example for those who are facing the same situation👍👌🙏🙂
Thank you.
wish I could of been there to give you a big hug... you are an inspiration thanks for loading your experience ... maintaining health maintenance is so important
You are strong! I hope you enjoy the journey ahead of you.
You are so brave. I'm so glad your ok!
You are so strong❤️❤️❤️
What an amazing woman you are!

Thank you.
Hey Boo, This is Q. I'm so glad that you are okay now. you are a trooper. I love you to pieces. Seeing this is so hard. Im doing a breast biopsy on this coming Monday. This video helps me to be positive and ready for anything..
Hey Q, Sending you a bunch of love for your test. Fingers crossed. Take the rest of the day off after your biopsy if you can. I was shocked at how sore I was (and emotionally drained). LOVE OU BUNCHES!!!
really!! OMG im not looking forward to the biopsy, but its better to know then not to know.. love you more!!! thanks a lot
You are so strong! God Bless You! :)
Hey everybody, it’s me again, I’m the last guy who commented on this video…...... on Monday I go in for a bone marrow biopsy to determine what stage my leukaemia is at, I didn’t even know I had to keep me up until yesterday, which was Tuesday. My story is too long and complicated to say all of it, previous to this I’ve dealt with Crohn’s disease and colon cancer, I’ve been through three relapses of cancer, And now between the two diseases I have only 5% of my entire gastrointestinal tract left, I have finally started to feel better after going for a whole year without one surgery (from the ages of 20 - 49). In total I’ve had 33 brutal operations, countless therapies and procedures, I’ve been clinically dead once after my colon ruptured, and nearly 3 more times well on the operating room table because my kidneys failed. I’ve been feeling kind of sluggish lately, so my doctor sent me to a hematologist, whom I’ve been seeing every three months to monitor my levels. Well two days ago on Monday I had bloodwork and an x-ray, the chest x-ray was fine, but the doctor called me yesterday to tell me that my Red and white blood cell counts are through the roof, combined with many other factors from previous tests, they are 100% certain I have leukemia, at least I’d beat the colon cancer, now there’s a new challenge in my life. On Monday I have to go for a bone marrow biopsy, something I am not looking forward to, so watching your video is making me, well, to be honest, even though I’m a man, I’m in tears right now, and to be honest I’m absolutely terrified i’m not gonna live to see my 50th birthday. I fought so hard over the past 29 years to get through all those operations and attacks of cancer, and now this happens. If any of you are religious please pray for me, no I am not A troll, I wish that was the case, unfortunately on being quite serious. If only I had no one in my life is going to be I really would’ve appreciated the first 20 years of my life, because that was the only time that I was relatively healthy, even though my had five different surgeries. Thanks for letting me vent, I’m not gonna give up, I’m going to fight kick and scream until the very end, but it just seems to me that sickness will not release its grasp on me, it says if I am not meant to be healthy, but to be sick as hell for the rest of my life. That being said, I’m also a man of faith, I believe that no matter what I’ve been put through, it’s been for a good reason, because I’ve been able to help so many other people who are just starting out with Crohn’s disease or colon cancer, I’ve helped hundreds, if not thousands of people deal with their illness, and I’ve met some absolutely wonderful people that I would have never met otherwise, so I do believe that no matter what, even in the very worst of times like now, something good and something positive can come from it, which is why I tell my story to as many people as I can, With the hopes of being able to help others, which is the one thing in life, the only thing in life, that brings me pure joy and happiness. So as I start this new journey to fight off the leukaemia growing within my bone marrow, while I am scared, I’m also curious as to see how things are going to turn out and who I’m going to meet this time, praying that I’ll be able to help as many people as I can even if this disease kills me. I’m not just one man, I am but one voice in a chorus of millions, the louder I scream more people I can help, So again, thank you for listening, let’s see where this takes me, thank God for universal healthcare and being Canadian! If I was the new United States I will be in debt for the rest of my life!
glad to see you back again :-) with your big smile. missed you....
I had a tumor in my wrist and had the same reaction to being diagnosed. I thought it was going to mutate into cancer. Thankfully, it just formed and I got it removed right away. I'm a male. Lol. I feel stupid. Great job on survival. My prayers stand tall :)
You are sooo brave! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you.
You're a brave, strong, and beautiful woman!!
Awww I cried so much. My heart aches so badly that would be really scary to have your whole life flipped upside down with one phone call. I'm glad you're done with cancer. Btw I'm 11 and I can even imagine what it was like for you. Good job fighting!💪🏻❤️
Thank you, I am so glad you were able to see life from a different perspective. That will help you grow into a glorious person when you get older.
Heartbreaking!
Who tells news like this over the phone???
New Subscriber here from Amman Jordan Middle East
News like this is not given on the phone here
Sorry you had this shock
I clicked on this because I lost my mother to stage four lung cancer and wonder what went through her head when she heard. She had a stiff upper lip personality so I wasn't sure. She tried to be strong and died within a week of diagnosis. I wonder if you were thinking about your mother who died when you got your diagnosis. I don't know if you have young children or a loved one you don't want to leave. How very difficult and thanks for sharing it because we need to be closer to people with cancer and we need to know how it feels. Prayers for you to stay healthy and I will get my next mammogram.
I am so sorry about your mom. It is so tough losing a mother to cancer. Sending you a huge hug.
And I am so glad you are getting your mamo!
omg I cried with you with this horrible news n look at you now wow!
im so sorry for what you went through...and that doctor from the initial phone call was quite insensitive i thought..
I cried so bad😭💕hope your okay x
Cancer sucks
This is the saddest thing I've ever watched
Actually the finding and the outcome here is not bad at all. It’s the best of the “bad”. But the way it was delivered was so inappropriate.
Of course, if they had told her it was not cancer....she wouldn’t have saved the video and it would have been forgotten.
By the way, number one cancer killer of women - lung. Don’t start smoking. We can take those numbers down 80-90% if nobody smoked.
My grandfather has died from cancer. But hope your ok.
2:51 You took the news better than I would! I would have broken down during the call!
It's great she shares her story, and very happy she appears to be on her way to beating cancer long term. On the other hand, it is a shame that so much attention is paid to breast cancer. It has a very high survival rate, yet it gets so much of the available funding that it chokes out diseases that need the money, and attention so much more than breast cancer.
It is so sad to see how you really want to stay strong
I feel your pain I has a biopsy when I was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis
Dearie it was very sad seeing your face like that bless you hon I hope you will be alright
