A Day In The Life Of A Cancer Patient | Radiation Therapy

- A day in the life of a radiation treatment for breast cancer. Delia went through 25 treatments as part of her regime to battle breast cancer. Already having finished chemotherapy, a double mastectomy surgery and an emergency surgery due to an infection, this was the final step of treatment before the waiting period until reconstruction. Radiation was one of the most difficult steps for Delia mentally, even though treatments each session were quick and painless. She describes some of the effects of radiation both physically and mentally and how she was able to remedy some of the side effects caused to the skin and minimize permanent damage.
We take you through all 25 treatments from the beginning to the end. This was a large milestone on the Journey to beating Breast cancer 🤍
Delia’s skin treatment recommendations:
*these are just recommendations and what worked for me. Always consult with your doctor before doing these as you may have a different experience or reaction.*
1) Calendula Cream (worked best for me & was my favorite - I kept this on my skin at all times)
2) 1 oz sweet almond oil
10 drops frankincense
10 drops myrrh
10 drops sandalwood
10 drops helichrysum
I usually mixed this in 4oz bottles. However, now I mix it in 16 oz bottles. I use it still after my shower.
During radiation treatment am, pm, and after each treatment.
3. Aquaphor
4. Lanolin (shown in video)
Suggestions: Get a big oversized black all organic cotton T-shirt. Go about 5 sizes too big and wear this as all of the creams and oils will ruin your clothes. Dedicate a few shirts to switch out during treatment. These shirts will get stained but you can just toss after you’re done with treatment.
I would continue with these skin lotions/creams for 2-4 weeks after finishing if you can. Make sure they are thoroughly rubbed in to the skin in both front & back areas of where the radiation is being treated.
Best of luck warrior sisters!

Delia
Hi Delia. My stepdaughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 27. She went through a lumpectomy, chemo, radiation, hormone therapy, took a pill that put her through early menopause, etc. She not only beat it, but it has been 12 years since her diagnosis. I'm here to tell you that you are going through the storm, but it will look better really soon. Stay strong and don't give up. Stay positive, exercise, eat healthy, it's great for breast cancer. And you what to know one more thing? After everything she put her body through, she was still able to get pregnant. So, just remember, stay positive and be true to your faith. At the end of the day, when someone tells you you can't, look up, because a higher power has veto power, and can reverse everything. God bless you and your husband. You got this!
Love that inspiration
Thank you so much for sharing this. As a breast cancer survivor, it’s so refreshing to see people sharing positive stories instead of always telling us the scary stuff! God bless you and your step daughter!
:(
What an inspirational message! I am also 27 and waiting on my biopsy to come in 2 weeks, this was something that I really needed especially as fertility is one of my main concerns. Thank you for that! ❤
🙏🏼❤️
I cried when Delia rang the gong. Congratulations!!! I can truly relate. I am a 7 year one month pancreatic cancer survivor. I was diagnosed at the age of 56 and I thought that was young so to hear a young girl 28? Diagnosed with breast cancer is unbelievable. You are so strong and a real warrior. You are a survivor. Keep fighting and never ever give up. NEGU as we say in the pancreatic cancer community. 💕💕💕
Hello my mother pancreatic adénocarcinoma. May I asked what type of tumor it was? And the stage you were please? My mother iS stage 3 inoperable. And has been diagnosed 9 month ago. 😢
@@jovivi6512 I also had adenocarcinoma. I was 2b. I had the whipple originally but during that surgery they saw cancer in the margins upon closing so I had to go back 7 weeks later to get the rest of my pancreas removed and spleen. In the first surgery they took 1/3 of my stomach, half my pancreas, gall bladder, duodenum (small intestine), part of the biliary tree. 7 years later I am a very brittle diabetic, and have an insulin pump. I am Ned and alive so I am grateful to God and my surgeon and all the support I received. Please have your mom get a second opinion. If there is anything else you need to know I am here for you.
Sending love 💖
Never ever give up
@@kerri759 wow! What a story! I thought you couldn’t live with out a pancreas. I’m learning something new! May I ask what your first signs you had?
I had 2 lumpectomies, ,28 radiation treatments , and years of Arimidex. Radiation definitely changed the tissue in my breast, but I celebrate 14 years being cancer free in February. I'm 71 and still here enjoying life. :) Praying for you and your family.
Amazing 🙏🏽💕
🙏🙏
Glory be to God!!! So happy. May you live more beautiful.
❤❤❤
Radiation has changed my breat tissue that my implant on one side is still super high on my chest. Do you know /think it will eventually stretch down or will it stay?
God Bless you...I had a double mastectomy 1 month ago. YOU are so brave.
My mother died of breast cancer at 30 in 1973. I'm so glad so much more can be done. Hope your future is glorious and everything you want it to be...
Thankful for the update. During these trying times you should feel supported and not pressured to give updates. You both have enough stress you don't need anymore. Sending strength and well wishes your way. Positive thoughts for you and Dylan. 🇨🇦
So happy you finished the radiation treatments. My sister went thru chemo, surgery and radiation this past year as well. She is now cancer free. She and I flew from the East coast to California and then to Las Vegas for her celebration of being cancer free. We had so much fun.
@lynda sorry about your loss, but your bitterness and political bullshit is not welcome here. All lives matter!
So glad you're doing better.
Praise God🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Omg , thank god ,
How many radiation?
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am 3 year breast cancer survivor, double mastectomy and 6 week radiation. Anxiety and fear is a real thing, and you take all the time you need. It does get better and your relationship with God will get you through. God bless you! You are a warrior!!

❤so glad to see you guys back. You have come so so far, you still look absolutely amazing. The courage & strength you have shown throughout this whole journey is amazing & you are such an inspiration. Maybe when the time is right, you should be an inspirational cancer spokesperson….. not sure what you’d call it, but your experience along with the courage & strength you’ve displayed would probably help so many that experience this. I’m sure your awesome husband has already told you many many times, your are still that beautiful person you were before all of this. Congrats on finishing all of it , but I knew you would!!! Love you guys so so much & look forward to the next vlog!!!

Hi Delia, I’ve watched you since before you were diagnosed. This lady month i thought of you and realized you hadn’t posted anything since your last video. I began to pray for you daily, strength, healing and that God would give you a long life. I want you to know there are people that don’t know you personally but pray for you daily! I was so blessed today to see a new video posted today! It was Gods way of telling me, I heard your prayers. You and hubby will continue to be in my prayers! 😇🙏🏼 I look forward to all that God will do for you both! Blessings from SD, Ca. Pastor Olvia
Happy anniversary and glad you're doing good. I've been watching for you every couple of days glad you posted.

I am so glad for you that you have had so much support on this journey from Dylan, things will get better now and you can put all the cancer behind you and focus on all the things in life that bring you joy and thinking about your wonderful future with your special family of your own that you long for.
Your young, healthy, the cancer gone, and you are such an inspiration to anyone going through this. I don’t know that I could be as strong as you have been, you are one of a kind.
Wishing you and Dylan and lifetime of happiness with no more health bumps in your life’s journey together. You both deserve every happiness and success and your dream family.
