You are beautiful and your story (even though I JUST started following you on IG with the recommendation of my MIL, your story is very similar to mine n you’ve offered me some hope n been an inspiration. I finally took the “plunge” and shaved my head, it’s more traumatizing than one would think when you lose a glob of hair just from touching it. And the amount in the shower, UGH just heartbreaking! Thank you for sharing your story! I know it’s not easy to do. I just had my 4th chemo yesterday and cuz of you I’ve decided to document the rest of my journey. 💜 prayers to you always!
You will get this, it is hard some times, like a training for life….life is a hard fight a nyway.I finished this spring my treatments for triple negative breast cancer, so I know what you are dealing with.One thing I can assure you: it will be ok at the end.Take care of you and your loved ones, and try to learn to say NO when you feel you can not manage things like always.
Thankyou for sharing, I had my first round of chemo for breast cancer last Wednesday. It’s nice to be able to follow someone going through the same thing . We seem to have very similar symptoms so far . You look great with no hair 👍 I hope I do 😂
The after chemo tears, know them all too well. The taste issues is so frustrating. I cried at cracker barrel last week because the bacon was atrocious which then ruined my pancakes, I really wanted pancakes that day. the frustration was real. then I got embarrassed that I was crying at the table. My 2nd dose of red devil was harder than the first for me too. Seemed my side effects were delayed had my 2nd dose on July 15. The 16, 17,18 I felt ok but after that I felt horrible. They had me start my chemo with Zofran and it did nothing for me I had what felt like vertigo for 4 days they changed my meds to Meclizine for dizziness and Promethazine for nausea and they worked better than Zofran did. I have 2 more doses of red devil this coming Friday 8/5 then again 8/26 then I switch to Paclitaxel for 4 doses. My doses are every 21 days cuz I'm getting Pembro (immunotherapy) with it as my Dr said pembro along with chemo has been great for triple negative which is what I have. In a way I'm happy my chemos are spaced out like that cuz I get 1 really good week before getting knocked down again but then it also prolongs my treatment. If all goes well with no set backs I'll be done with chemo Nov 18th (which sucks cuz appetite and my taste will still be off for Thanksgiving) How is your mouth doing?
It’s so hard !!! All the little things that come with it just add up and it’s ok to break down and cry sometimes 🥹🫶🏻 My mouth has been ok actually, I chew on ice chips during chemo, not sure if that’s the reason why I don’t have a lot of mouth sores or not. I am also scheduled to have my last treatment Nov 18!! We can celebrate together 💫🥂💖
@@tirzahcooper I'm glad to see you added chewing ice I remember asking after your first dose and you saying you were getting some sores and you said no they didnt have you chewing it. I have my last red devil tomorrow I still haven't had mouth sores never did its the ice. Chemo doesn't respond to cold well at least thats what my nurses said. I'm at the halfway point. 😁 I'll definitely be cheering for you Nov 18th!
@@tirzahcooper well.. my chemos got pushed back my last one is no longer Nov 18 it's Dec 2nd but I'll still be cheering for you Nov 18th. I'm now doing 12 weeks of Paclitaxel carboplatin and keytruda. Was originally told it'd be 4 doses total done every 21 days just like the red devil was but now they want 4 cycles of 3 weekly treatments with no break between them. So 12 weeks straight of chemo. Started it today. Nothing has changed condition wise my oncologist just said doing it weekly has shown better results. I'm feeling pretty good today it was a 5 hour treatment. My next 2 will be 3 hours then another 5 hr and repeat until done. I had someone with me for all 4 red devils but chose to just get dropped off today and I think I like that more. I actually slept for 4 of the 5 hours (between IV machine beeps) when my sister would go to the red devils I'd fight the sleepiness cuz I felt I had to keep her company. It was nice to just do my own thing this time so my next 11 I'm gonna go solo.
Thank you for your videos and keeping it real. I just finished my last round of chemotherapy. It's a humbling experience. Stay strong ❤
