From Stage 4 Breast Cancer to Colon Cancer: Sherri's Story | The Patient Story

- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Prior to her colon cancer diagnosis, Sherri noticed some symptoms like occasional rectal bleeding when going to the bathroom, which she assumed was just hemorrhoids.
It wasn't until a routine stool test as part of her stage 4 metastatic breast cancer workup detected traces of blood that further testing was done. Doctors then discovered a precancerous polyp and abnormality in her rectum and she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.

I really appreciate and I'm grateful for your kind words. I'm sorry that you have to go through that with your mom I can't even imagine that feeling of losing a mother. My kids are the reason I'm still alive honestly. They have given me so much power and strength to get through this part of my life. I definitely enjoy life a lot more than I used to before cancer so I'm not totally mad about it. Thank you for watching my videos it really means a lot to me and I really do hope that it can help other people. I always wanted to be able to take something bad and turn it into something good so hopefully I can do that for the world. Again I wish you much happiness and health for you and your mom.❤
@sherrioverstreet9119 Thank you 😊 Prayers also 🙏 going out too you .
Thank you so very much for sharing your story! I have estrogen positive metastatic breast cancer and I just had to change medication’s because the cancer spread a little more. I live my life every day at a time, but every once in a while, I allow myself to hope and thanks for being a support in that way whether you knew it or not. I wish you long health and happiness! 🤗🤗❤️🤗❤️
It's quite the journey isn't it. I'm praying for you❤
My sister's breast cancer just came back. Im praying for you.❤❤❤❤
Sorry. I lost my sister to breast cancer at the young age of 44. 😢
Prayers for you.
Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Thank you for your prayers!

Continued prayers for you,
beautiful lady and Sister in Christ. 🙏
Hey Sherri, thank you so much for both of your interviews. They really gave me back some positivity and hope for my mum. She's 56 and has 3rd time breast cancer, this time MBC (in the lung). Her first line treatment stopped working, so now she's started chemo. I am 28 now, the first time I was 13, and even though I am a lot older than back then, I am still scared to loose her already. You inspired me to stop looking at statistics and to stay more positive again. Thank you!! P.s. I think I can understand your feeling of guilt and of course loosing a loved one - especially a loving and caring mum - hurts tremendously. However, I am so sure your kids are well ahead of others in their age already because they witnessed your immense strength, positivity/defiance, how you turned such an obstacle into something beautiful helping others as well (your Podcast, the Interview,...), and so many more things. Your kids are well prepared for life and you + what they learned from you will forevee stay in theirs. I say that as a daughter who loves and admires her own mum immensely as well, so I can relate to your children. I wish you and your family a lot of strength and healing. I am so glad that you're getting better again, you'll beat this! 💪😊
Sending prayers from N. Ga for you and your Mom. Try to stay positive
🙏❤️🙏
how is your mum doing now ?
Thank you for sharing! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers I am really grateful for that
Hi wanting to send you lots of love 💕 I have breast cancer myself for the second time … it sucks thank you for sharing ❤
I am sorry that you have it again that really does suck your right. Hang in there The body is amazing healing itself. I have heard so many stories of what people have gone through and it just amazes me that they're still walking around on the planet. I wish you speedy recovery on the second phase that you're in. Lots of love and prayers for you❤
@@sherrioverstreet9119 thank you for such a lovely reply … I know cancer definitely 💯 sucks … sending my ❤️💕 love and a big hug …
Ma'am you are one tough lady. I sincerely hope you will soon be completely cancer free. You are a benefit to the world with your positive outlook.
Thank you so much for saying that I sometimes don't feel that strong however I do want to take the something that seems so horrible and turn it into something good for the world. I am amazed at what other people have gone through and I realize that the body is really powerful beyond measure. Thank you for watching and being a strong supporter❤
wishing you and yours the best.
Thank you you as well
What an amazing woman you are!
Shucks you're making me blush thank you for saying so
Thank you so much for your service. Bananas and yogurt, walking, and jogging were my coping mechanisms as well. Ensure. Same. The good thing is that I did like the taste of the vanilla ones, but I felt like I was defiling myself. It did help with weight maintenance. Colon cancer in 2003 and 2021 myself. I like your attitude. I hope and pray you’ll do very well and be around in 60 years.
Thank you for your comment I really appreciate it so much and I am grateful to still be here. I also am grateful that you've gotten through what you have as well.❤

This happened to a friend of ours she didn't make it was growing to fast.
Thank you for so much for watching and you're encouraging words I appreciate it
Thank you for sharing. I recently decided I want to go plant based diet. And eliminate sugar . Starting December , and be more consistent in exercise . Your video was so encouraging. Again, I thank you .
Going plant-based help me so much and I fell off the wagon. I am climbing back on it but yes plant-based is has been the way to go. And it's okay to have some cake sometimes!!🎉😂
Wishing well.Thks.
Thank you
We are all touched by cancer, the anxiety is real.
You will be around for your kids and for your future.
That is so true
I believe your going to be fine.. believe in God stay positive your beautiful ❤❤❤
I like the way that you're thinking!! All I know is I'm alive now and so I'm going to live life to the fullest
The BRCA mutation is not the only one pinked to breast cancer. I have the CHEK2 mutation and have had breast cancer twice. My sister has the same mutation and got breast cancer after my second occurrence. Research of genetics is rapidly progressing. 😊
I agree with you that research is progressing and advancing rapidly so hopefully that will prolong my life even more.
I am also sorry to hear that you had breast cancer it's a roller coaster ride that's for sure
Im curious, wouldnt the pet scan pick it up?
0:41 "Pinking my blood..." Can anyone explain what that means? Perhaps I am not hearing her correctly but if that is the very first symptom....I wonder what she is referring too?
I heard the same thing.
I think she said her blood was “tanking”
like quickly she had low blood counts and low hemoglobin
Tanking my blood sometimes I talk like I have rocks on mouth. 😅😂
My sister's breast cancer came back with in 3 years.
I'm so sorry to hear that 😢
❤❤❤
I treated my cancer holistically. Entered year five cancer free. BEST decision I ever made!
Thank you for your service! Happy Veterans Day!
P.S. - Sugar/carbs feed cancer. Carb turns into sugar.
The whole carbs/sugar thing feeding cancer is complicated and not necessarily true. If it were as simple as cutting out the sugar/carbs then we wouldn’t be doing the harsh treatments we do today. I have seen too many people try this instead of conventional treatments and end up dying. Cancer will always find a fuel. The sugar/carb link is more to do with the obesity link to some cancers. The more sugar you eat, the more likely you will be overweight. Being overweight is the risk factor for cancer, not sugar. Not all cancers are the same. Some are driven by hormones or genetics. Others may be caused by damage to tissue (e.g. skin cancer, sometimes stomach cancer from an ulcer or something). Well done on being 5 years free from cancer! I am fighting my first and hopefully last cancer!
What was the test she mentioned? Sounded like signature?
signatera maybe
Yes a test was signatera
@sherrioverstreet9119 Sherri are you ok? Your picture shows you are on oxygen?
@@megtravers327 I was on oxygen when I was admitted to the ICU in Nov of 2022. I'm doing well now 💖
@@sherrioverstreet9119 I'm so glad!
Camp Lejeune?
No didn't go near there however I was exposed to other toxic chemicals in the military
Wishing you a quick recovery from me and from my wife. Chemo can trigger colon cancer. Once the DNA of these cells is unstable and they loose markers which are targeted by conventional chemo, it is time for Fenbendazole which is an anti-parasitic medicine. Fenbendazole does not replace chemo as long as the DNA of metastatic cells has active correction genes. Once these genes are damaged, Fenbendazole starts helping.
Thank you for your well wishes so grateful for that
Lung cancer is the deadliest in men and women. But for men Prostate is second and women Brest is second.
Women who have had breast cancer ar at higher risk for colon cancer
I'm sure they're at a high risk for everything.
Seek and trust in Jesus Christ For He alone knows our beginning and our end , He is our only way to heaven, God bless
This has been definitely true for me I wouldn't have been able to do this without him thank you for your kind words
obviously a vaccine injury
No. Vaccine is for tracking you. Stay informed!
What vaccine leads to cancer this quickly ?
That is an ignorant statement.
@Randompotatoes-qs7bm
You'd be surprised the ingredients in vaccines... antifreeze is in one of those COVID shots.... why? 🤔🤔🤔 I can imagine that can lead to cancer (not saying this is her case).
Embarrassing comment. Someone said the same thing to me when I said I have cancer, but I am unvaccinated!
Quit sugars & carbs as cancer feed on these.
Its not that simple
@@megtravers327 then CONTINUE TO EAT THESE POISONS !!!
@@michelesnoopy what does my question have to do with poison?
@@megtravers327 what question?
@@michelesnoopy where to get the test she mentioned
