It warms my heart to see three Black female doctors educating all women about understanding breast cancer diagnosis. It definitely can be overwhelming when you hear the word "CANCER". Each of you are Awesome!! Thanks for a very informative video and continue to help breast cancer patients along their journey 🥰😍
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Yousef Taylor I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you ladies for providing such valuable information. I started my radiation treatments yesterday, and Dr. Karen Winkfield I asked my radiation oncologist what we were going to do to protect my heart being that my treatments are on the left breast as you suggested in a different video and he looked a little caught off guard by the question. I also asked if I should do deep breathing and he told me to just breath normal. I decided to do the inspirational deep breathing. However, after my treatment he did show me my scan of the breast and how only a very small portion of my heart would be exposed to the radiation. Thank you for all you do for breast cancer patients, especially for Black women.🥰 I'm glad I discovered this channel before I had my breast conserving surgery and began my radiation treatments.
God bless you . Strong mother, strong support team. The prayer wheel will continue to turn. Blessings. Writing things down will help you mom. Pray press and push. Talk with someone.
Thank you. Just found out yesterday that I have breast cancer and I don’t know what to do or where to start from!!! Haven’t told my family yet. I am afraid!!
I know it's been 3 month ago that you found out, but I prayed for you tonight. I found out 3 days ago and told family immediately because that's just who I am. We are all so different but still so much alike. Stay strong and allow family to support you. 🙏🏽
Stsy strong. My three p's are pray, press and push. Strong support team. Since my diagnoise . I have been every where emotional, . Fear kicks in but remember your only human. YOU GOT THIS DEAR. THESE DR ARE FOUND ON THIS SITE FOR A GOD SEND REASON.
I'm in the process of getting diagnosed so looking for information and you three doctors are the best! Hope if this really is cancer, I get doctors like you.
Thank you sooooooooooo much for all of your information. I wish I lived near all of you; you were so informative. This is a new journey for me and your information has helped me. Once again, thank you!
This is so informative I hope there are some more advances in TNBC. I pray they find the way to treat it in multiple ways with greater success stories for us!! Greater SURVIVOR STORIES!
This was so helpful. I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive breast cancer her2 neg... I have had a bilateral Mastectomy no reconstruction. I will start kemo on Mon Dec 28th for 5 months... Please pray for me. To preach the gospel of Jesus is my calling so I say YES to His Will...
I’m 5 radiation treatments in and have had increasing heat and now pain since the first treatment. I am ready to quit. Everyone is very kind but says they’ve never heard of this other than a very slight increase in temperature right after treatment. It actually is worse 8 hours after treatment and is intense. Superficial temp(because I thought I was going crazy) was over 10 -15 degrees higher. When it started hurting , they mentioned possible infection, but therapist literally recoiled when they touched my breast. They spent xtra time and I think some parameters were adjusted, but now the heat and pain are in my ribs below my breast! I know can happens after all radiation is done. I have had a problem with large hematoma and bruising, so breast is changing and it did delay my starting. I’m tired of feeling crazy. I’m tired of hurting this much, knowing it will be worse in 5 weeks(yes I am making it worse with catastrophic thinking). I usually am not a nut, but I feel like I ‘shouldn’t’ be having these symptoms…But I am.
What should I know about expanders while undergoing radiation therapy? Will they be filled during or after? I am 69 yrs old and have a 3cm ILC ER+ HER2- and a 9cm LC in Situ. Biopsy shows no lymph node involvement. Plan is for a mastectomy. I also need info on abdominal tissue transfer instead of silicone implants. Does a tissue transfer suffer necrosis during radiation or is it done after radiation therapy?
I would like to know what inflammatory breast cancer looka like in colored women, cause i have concerns for myself my breast pigment is darken rash like
My best friend a single mom of 3kids has been diagnosed with breast cancer in Africa can someone please help me to bring her here for the traitement if possible ? I have to work here to help her with the traitement and the traitement in Africa isn’t like here thank you
Thank you for your comment. Here is an article that explains more about the Oncotype test and it’s use for Black women: www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2021/oncotype-dx-breast-cancer-less-accurate-black-women. We are unable to answer specific medical questions or provide medical consultation, however we encourage you to speak to your team of providers to learn more about this test and to get answers based on your unique medical situation. Thanks again for your comment and we hope this information is helpful to you.
I had the biopsy test done on my breast and under my arm. They found that the cancer was in my nymph under the right arm and breast and was told that I has in stage 3. The Pet scan did not show any cancer cell reach any part of my body. The Dr. had recommend I should receive 20 weeks of chemo and 8 week of radiation. I feel that's excessive can I suggest less chemo? Am worry that it will damage my heart and liver at end. I also read that you can also get leukemia after receiving chemo within 5-8 years. What do recommend if you can?
I also had a similar diagnosis, I had a 2nd recommendation by a radiation oncologist and he stated I didnt need radiation based on my stats (tumor size, age, receptors) seek a 2nd opinion! He wants to reserve radiation just in case there is a recurrence. His ultimate goal was to avoid over treatment.
I didn’t know I was supposed to be afraid until I read that book. The first 4 chapters are all about fear. Fear for yourself, fear telling your partner, fear about telling your children, fear, fear, fear!
I am operated stage 2a breast cancer,had undergone 7 chemotheralhy treatment but i was not able to have the last one session.I got sick ,my electrolytes did not function because i was malnourished for i have not eaten .I was hospitalized for long time .So no chemotheraphy was done to finished it.But until now i am recovering .I was not able to have my check up with my oncologist because of pandemic lockdown.

Abdomen muscle transfer leads to hernia in future better not to go for any reconstruction procedures except oncoplasty

Cancer is a scary word, and people deal with it in different ways. If you’re not scared, that’s okay, too. 🙏🏽
I appreciate the info. Is it common to be advised by the doctor to do chemo and radiation?
