    On November 16th, 2022--- 2 days before my 52nd birthday I drove myself to the ER due to heart palpitations and feeling like I was going to pass out. I have had no prior health issues other than being sick from covid and have been athletic most of my life.
    I drove myself to the ER just thinking it was jet lag or maybe I picked up a virus from costa Rica as I had just returned from the trip there.
    Little did I know this would lead to 7 days of hospitalization, 1 platelet transfusion, 3 blood transfusion and found Mass under my right breast. A bone marrow test :(
    I was eventually diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer it had metastasized to my bones. The Drs said and it's aggressive.

    I found you by accident, but I believe there are no “accidents”. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer almost two years ago. I had a lumpectomy, 35 rounds of radiation and am now labeled No Evidence of Disease. I should be so grateful about this, but I know that this particular type of cancer is “sneaky”- not my word, but my oncologist’s. I am monitored every 3 months, but essentially the responsibility is mine to note if something doesn’t feel right. I forgot to mention I am taking daily tamoxifen which brings its own set of struggles. Feel like I am living on constant high alert.

    Hi Sherry 🩷 I'm a breast cancer 🎀 Survivor as well. I'm coming up on my 5th Anniversary from the date May 31st the day 5 years ago when I was diagnosed. I finished my last in-hospital treatment on December 30th, 2018. I can't wait to celebrate my 5 years in December on some exotic tropical island. 😉
    I am going to keep you in my thoughts and Prayers so you continue to do well. It's a struggle but I also believe it's so important to keep a 100% positive mindset. I always say that if I just keep smiling and laughing, I'll fool the cancer into leaving my body. Laughter was part of my healing journey and I made it my job to find things to have full belly laughs at. I survived against the smallest of odds and all of my caregivers said it was because I stayed positive and laughed every single day.
    Recently unfortunately I started having pretty bad issues between back pain and breathing just as you described. I have never had such a hard time breathing and this is getting ridiculous. I did just see my Internist on Tuesday and he was all over it and has me booked for a bunch of scans. But I'm curious to know if you know what caused your breathing issues. My biggest fear is the cancer has metastasized into my bones but it's so fast! It's just 4 months since I started having pains in my back.
    I look forward to hearing from you and watching your next update. ❤❤

      Hi Cindy! The tropical island sounds AMAZING!! i Love how you like to fully belly laugh I love doing that! I often think of past things that made me laugh so hard I cried and I can tap into the same feeling. I am sorry that you are having pain it is difficult to not go into fear and panic. My cancer had metastasized to my bones and I never felt any pain so that may not be it currently I have a clean scan basically they can't find it anywhere. My breathing issues were from low blood supply my hemoglobin was tanked and so were my white blood cells. I will share an update soon on this it is a miracle I believe. It is difficult to not go into fear keep your head up you made it this far. I imagine army men going in and shooting away all the bad cells in your body and you are healing. Our bodies are amazing in self-healing. I am praying for your full recovery and being pain free!

    I’m so sorry this has happened to you❣️Thank you for sharing your cancer story. I do believe that stress is as much a cause as anything else. My daughter was diagnosed at about the same time as you and is currently on chemotherapy. She had a mammogram last May after finding a suspicious lump but it came back negative so she carried on as usual, but it was there growing aggressively. Mammograms don’t always show cancer apparently. There are a lot of seemingly successful trials going on around the world, one in Seattle and another in Melbourne, amongst others. I’m hoping my daughter, who is 48 with two special needs children, can access one of the trials. Her best friend has stage 4 breast cancer and was given 6 months to live two years ago. Her cancer has spread but she has recently started a trial in Queensland. Is it possible for you to be accepted onto a trial? Wishing you love and strength and improving health long into the future. ❤

      @sherrioverstreet9119  Год назад +2

      Thank you for your response and for being here! My thoughts, heart and prayers are with you and your daughter. It is not an easy thing to go through. ...and chemo can be tough. I really don't like when drs give a timeline of how long someone has I don't believe any of us know. I also have realized that stage 4 is NOT a death sentence. I pray your daughter's friend would land on the perfect trial for her healing. I have looked into some trials however currently I have NO evidence of disease as of latest petscan!! Video coming soon on that one! It's pretty amazing. Thank you for sharing!

      I am sorry to hear this. Cancer can definitely put fear and doubt in our heads. I really have to work on this and especially hearing things that we don't want to hear. I have discovered that disease is a sign that something in you needs to be healed this has been very true for me. Getting to the root of it. I have had significant unhealed trauma in my body I was so busy having a savior complex i forgot about myself. New podcast episode coming soon on back to life and new website may help you. I am praying for your healing in ALL ways.

    I knew someone who starting having mammograms at age 35 and every year after that b/c cancer ran in her family. When she turned 45 the government health plan kicked in so she no longer had to pay for them herself. However, after getting her regular check ups and nothing be discovered, she was shocked to find out that the government funded mammograms had missed a 10 cm mass in her right breast for three years. So she made a point of telling ev1 that mammograms do not always see a mass so you should get a 3D picture if you believe there is something there. Look forward to your next video.

      This is a REALLY great point! I was told mine was overlooked because my breasts were "dense" mine was 4cm. I do believe things can be overlooked even if you do everything you can. The 3d picture is a great recommendation not something I would have thought of before the diagnosis. Thank you for being here!

      I think I have learned to go deep into the pain vs finding something to mask it. Mine was watching and escaping in true crime or other dramatic shows. Now I go right to it and most of my mine is emotional i have not had a lot of physical pain. I have discovered a lot of repressed anger in my body. I believe that those unfelt emotions can create havoc in our bodies. I am grateful for you checking out the channel!

    "I feel sorry for those suffering from cancer.
    But I want to pray so that all of them will be miraculously healed in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST.
    They all must be mighty witnesses to show that Jesus Christ is the only true living God
    The LORD GOD o😂ur HEALER.
    "The prayer of faith will heal the sick."
    I Just repeated this verse again and again.
    Iwas miraculously healed.
    One sister fourth stage breast cancer was healed when she repeated this verse ten times.
    Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.
    And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."
