    I just finished my treatment and operation for BC stage 3, and just want to tell you I spent a few nights in hospital with a woman who had BC stage 4 for almost 20 years. She has kept it in check with new medications, radiation and immune therapy and at the same time traveled the world. Wishing you the very best and still a long and exciting life! 10-15 years is not rare nowadays, 20 years is even better, and who knows which medications exist by then! Keep the hope ❤❤

      @@DeeDoherty Targeted therapies have really come a long way. My type of cancer was HER2+, hers was estrogen+. She was the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, probably in her 70’s. She was telling me all about her travels and how she found so much joy from them and also her garden and nature. She also had an awesome sense of humour - she said: even if you have stage 4 cancer you can let your hair out and enjoy life to the fullest - well you can’t she said - pointing at my bald head. 😂 Will never forget her. As far as I know she’s still going strong. Our hospital stay was this summer.

      Omg :( I'm sorry to hear that. You really inspired me with my very early diagnostic of best cancer HER2-positive in 2019. I saw all your videos and helped me to deal with my chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
      So, did you was under tamoxifen hormonal therapy ? When they found your cancer back ? How do ypu found it?
      Do you feel sick or in any pain ?
      I feel very bad for stopping with the tamoxifen two months ago.
      Because doctors found some polyps in the endometrial walls.
      I was so scare to develop endometrial cancer after that beside tamoxifen side effects could cause cancer.
      I don't know at this point if was a big mistake or not. But I feel that its not good to live with all side effects and the quality of lives its very important. So dealing with gaining weight, hair lost. Vaginal pain during sex. Sadness and not happy to live my live with a anti depression pills...to not look al the struggles tha cancer caused me.
      I feel scare too for not continuing with the tamoxifen treatment . My case it is just exactly the same like your.
      So I don't know what going to happen but I can not continue with a treatment with not guarantee that cancer will not return. Because the side effects are dangerous too and emotionally its affect my life , my marriage and my family .
      I just want to stop breaking in more pices year by year under tamoxifen treatment.
      If back with cancer its is there again waiting for me in the future I want to enjoy the time before that happens.
      I wish you with the bottom of my heart that you continue living with all your positive vibes and love for your family and all people around ypu..in special all the women you touch their life with your brighter light.
      😘 please keep in touch and continue updating your process and health experience. You are a truly inspiration.
      Take care ❤ I apologized ..

    Last week I went to get checked at the breast clinic because of pain in my ribs on the side of my mastectomy. I wasn't too worried until I saw consultant's face. He gave me an appointment for the nuclear bone scan the next day. I'm waiting for the results now and having panic attacks non stop. No one knows how it feels like until you've been there.
    I hope you will be able to record your journey this time again and I hope that the journey will be a very very long one. There is so little out there about the metastatic breast cancer. Thank you for doing this and good luck.

    I’m so sorry your cancer returned. I know they say that once you’ve had cancer you can never really consider yourself cured, but if you make it to the 5 year mark your chances are better. It’s possible you were likely feeling that your chances of not getting it again as each year passed put you more at ease. Then wam, that evil cancer raised its ugly head and is sending you spinning. I love how you described things. You do explain things well. I do hope you will take us on your journey. It will be so helpful to so many people. Wishing you the best of luck.

I went to have my very first mammogram because my cats would step on my right boob when I was laying in bed and it gave me great pain. Turns out my right side was just fine but the left side had stage two invasive, triple positive breast cancer. Very aggressive.
      I went through 3 months of chemo and they shrunk it down to a little tiny lump and my lumpectomy was put off due to COVID hitting. Evidently that was a elective surgery...😄
      The tumor tripled in size and attached to my chest wall in the 3 months I was postponed for surgery. It then became stage 4 metastasized breast cancer.
      The Cancer center told me they couldn't do anything for me and I needed to find a team at a larger hospital in a larger city and that I still would probably not survive.

    I have had a Stage 4 metastatic cancer diagnosis since Aug 2015. I have done radiation, strong chemo, and now for the past 7 years immune therapy every 3 weeks for the past 7 years. Last treatment day I got the news that the original tumor has started growing again. I don't understand why surgery was pulled off the table once they had discovered the cancer was already every in my bones. Maybe if they had removed the original tumor I wouldn't be seeing it growing again. I have invasive ductal, HER 2 positive cancer which is very aggressive. The treatments do such damage to us that no one understands! My husband is so tired of this journey with me. He admitted yesterday that for the second time he has signed up on an online dating site looking for a healthy, sexual woman. I am devastated! We who battle cancer did not choose this! I have been a good faithful wife for 46 years! Prayers and virtual hugs for your journey!

    Dee, you were a pivotal part of my cancer journey I was diagnosed 2021 so your videos were already out for some time you prepared me for chemo got me through the hair loss even doing my non existent eyebrows and make, wigs ext. there so many others ,I never got bored! It even inspired me to vlog. To hear that this has happened to you I’m so sorry , I’m 41 with 4 kids from 22-12 . When my cancer was staged it was already stage 4. Last year I attempted surgery only to be awakened and told I was inoperable. I feel your pain I’m walking in the same ugly shoes! I’m not glad that your here for this but, I will be here this time around. I have managed to be stable the past 9 months without treatment . I’ve only been offered palliative Maintenance chemo , and RN I’m doing metabolic treatment for as long as I can . I’m praying for you ,not only the cancer ,but for your mental health, it’s bad enough you suffered through this once but twice Sheesh really hard pill to swallow. So sad to hear this. Be careful how far you allow your mind to take you, you are here right now that’s all that matters. I get that working and routine help your mental health , but if your spending more time at work or your working outside of there school hours , reconsider , what you have is now, your time is now, you wanna spend all the happy healthy time you have with them. Your going to fight the good fight, you got it!!
