Mammography tech here. Ladies please please do NOT do what this woman did. Early detection is key!! The earliest breast cancer is caught, the better your chances are for survival!! Get YEARLY mammograms done, especially if you have a family history of breast cancer!! 😢
I have dense breast tissue and I've heard that mammograms aren't great for picking up cancer in women with dense breast tissue. Should we be asking for additional screening?
@@JustRaine97diagnostic mammogram & breast ultrasound are considerations if medically necessary. You can talk to your GYN and the radiologist about your concerns
God I loved seeing Ananda Lewis on TV! This woman is still so very beautiful even until this day. So glad to see she's surviving strong while living through the cancer. Bless Ananda for taking accountability of her own body first before the battle with cancer. Learned much about Ananda Lewis in this very educational talk sit-down. Thank you ABS!
I’m so glad to hear she’s doing better. The C word is so scary. During the interview she put a lot of focus on her eating and the mastitis. But, breezed over the fact her mother had breast cancer. That alone is the biggest contributing factor because it doubles her chances of getting cancer.
@@jayj.6146 Right. Stage 4 is incurable. At that point, any treatment is aimed at prolonging your life, not eliminating the cancer. At stage 3, there was still a possibility that it was curable with chemo, surgery, and likely radiation.
@@Ava2969ny right! It’s sad because if she wants to get rid of the cancer using modern medical methods the process will be more invasive and harder on her physically and emotionally.
I grew up watching this sista, and having the biggest crush on her. She’s a few years older than me, and this is very terrible news to hear. While she is still stunning, she also seems to be at peace with herself, and life. I hope she comes out on top for her Husband, and her Son.
I absolutely love her I always have since the first time I laid eyes on this beautiful woman I pray that God heals her from the cancers that threatened her life I pray that she lives a very long healthy prosperous life 🙏🙏🙏
This is definitely a great PSA to listen to your body the first time. Our intuition is strong. If you think it’s something in your gut, go with it and get checked out. Please.
I know she’s grown, but one would think that since her mother had breast cancer - and survived it - that she would have taken her mother’s advice. I’m sure her mother advised her to get a mammogram, especially if she found a lump during a self-exam.
Take this as a lesson to take advantage of early detection. My body experienced cancer. My doctor told me her youngest cancer patient was 26 years old. Thankfully, cancer no longer has its place in my body. Life is worth loving and living. ❤
Ananda is really going through it at a very uncertain point in her life. Im sending positive energy her way. Not gon lie...im not feeling the quirky music to her story. This is not a light moment.
THERE IS A REASON WE HAVE DOCTORS, PILOTS ENGINEERS, PLUMBERS AND ELECTRICIANS. THESE EXPERT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE WE NEED TO RUN A SUCCESSFUL NATION. IF HER MOM HAD BREAST CANCER SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAVING HER YEARLY MEMOGRAM. THIS IS PREVENTABLE.
I wish her the best. Her experience highlights the importance of utilizing proven and trusted methods when it comes to detection and treatment of medical issues.
breastfeeding is not an injury to the tissue. to the contrary, a buildup of breastmilk can form harmful blockages in the ducts if you do not breastfeed. there are virtually no downsides to breastfeeding
She was talking about mastitis which is a common infection in breastfeeding women. Some research shows an increase in breast cancer for women who had the infection. Still, the benefits of breastfeeding for mom and baby far outweigh the cancer risk should mastitis develop.
Mastitis is an infection of the milk ducts, and if you've had it, it's extremely painful. I breastfed for 2 years, and mastitis was a miserable experience. That's the injury she was referring to.
@@davidsonm1981sorry hun. It definitely does reduce the chance. I two breast feed all 5 of mine. One child for 3 yrs & one child for 2yrs. The other 3 6-8 months. Breast feeding is natural. All this cancer comes from the chemicals and things we consume. Years ago cancer was not this rapid or bad. And breast feeding has been since beginning of time.
She’s someone who doesn’t listen to anyone. I strongly believe her friends and family to get medical help (chemo or etc). Now, she’s in stage 4. So sad 😢
@@heycris5833who are you to judge it’s her life and her decision some people do everything the modern way and cancer still comes back only the most high has the last say so over her life I believe she is one of the anointed everybody can’t do what she do if you ever get the c word just make sure you do what your mind tells you and not what some doctor who’s never had the c word tells you respect other peoples decisions cause you CAN end up with it
So what it’s her life you people love doing wat other people tell you to do and I’m so for making g wats fits you best for you everybody can’t get chemo and radiation and everybody is not pressed to be here forever only reason I’m here still are my children I opted out to modern day treatment as well and I’ve had cancer ba k in 2019 and it went away had all my scans and everything I was told to do it still came back now I choose no treatment and eating better living better Living with stage 4 not dying
I will do Western medicine as recommended, but I will also be fasting, taking supplements, strict food regimen (Keto-ish, low carb, no sugar) and utilizing acupuncture, chiropractic and whatever else will give me catharsis to shift energetically.
She did not say any thing about The LORD... HE CAN HEAL HER...I hope she will seek God's Kingdom and His Righteousness...HE is surely worth thinking and talking about...
She is a very intelligent woman. I think she would have gotten more actual monitoring done much earlier. Had she done the early mammograms she would have had a cancer free body. I know she didn't expect it to spread but she seems to have a major understanding of the biological aspect so she just might be the one to beat it.
THIS IS PURE DELUSION AND ARROGANCE.YOU ARE NOT A DOCTOR. AS A NURSE I WAS EXHAUSTED TAKING CARE OF A LOT OF AMERICANS..THE ARROGANCE TO THINK WE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS ARE STUPID WAS ALWAYS FRUSTRATING.
Like many people, she talks about the ways of her GrandMother but she misses the key component...the FOOD. A vegan diet promotes breast cancer, there is much research on this. What she needed is more animal foods but when she spoke of the chickens and rabbits her grandmother raised she said "I hope we didn't eat them." When, little does she know...that's EXACTLY what she needs!
This is like a book on what not to do. I hope she stays in remission and stays healthy.

I have no breast cancer history in my family. I turned 40 in June. My family doctor told me to start getting mammograms at 45. Do you agree with that?
@@yogaqueen1527I started at 40. I didn't care what they said. Early detection is key.👍🏽

Good to see Ananda vibrant, as she has always been! She's extended kinfolks. Love and strength.🪶🪶
I'm glad she's opening up about this.
I had the biggest crush on Ananda! She still has it going on. I pray healing 4 her body, that she beats cancer. 🙏🏿🙏🏿

the genetic connection to cancer means that it would have been better for her to have a double mastectomy instead of the natural methods.
She’s not doing better because now it’s stage 4

Even if she was or will be healed naturally, the masses will still tell us to not go that route.

Just bc she didn't word it the way you did doesn't mean your interpretation is what she meant. Content clues are important. Think deeper

I Had A Mass On My Breast It was not cancer. My mom been a cancer survivor for 19 years
Actually breastfeeding reduces your chances of breast cancer. So please dont blame it on that.
No it doesn’t! I breastfed all 5 of my kids and still ended up getting it!
@davidsonm1981 I said reduces chances, not prevents it.
yes, that was the first thing i thought of as well. breastfeeding is the best thing for the baby AND the mother’s health.

Unfortunately we live and some die by our decisions. My mom is to say this is choosing to learn the hard way.
Just pray for her 🤡
Yup. Her sister also beat it and is a doctor. Asked her if she was crazy but she thinks she’s the smartest person in the world

OMG my father and his family survived the Tulsa massacre! I never knew this about her
Your father? How old is he? How old are you?!
Im in my 60’s my dad was born 1909 do the math. I was his last child of six.
@ like why would I say he was?? And he wasn’t? TROLL!!
I bet her great grandmother lived till she was in her 90s. She sounds like a very wise woman.
She did not say any thing about The LORD...
HE CAN HEAL HER...I hope she will seek God's Kingdom and His Righteousness...HE is surely worth thinking and talking about...
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She has so much knowledge but she seem afraid and is hesitant to speak it. She is speaking carefully.
I had breast lumps in both my breasts disappeared on their own after 9 years but had got them.checked

She was misinformed, no mammograms. Ego. She will be fine
She must’ve been estrogen dominant, that can be fixed
