Day in the Life of a Cancer Patient

- We are more than halfway through chemotherapy for breast cancer and wanted to share a life update! Welcome to a day in the life of a cancer patient at home ❤️🩹 Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this video. Get 10% off your first month www.betterhelp.com/eamonandbec
On December 21, 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We embarked on a journey of healing beginning with 8 rounds of chemotherapy. Before chemo began I was terrified of losing my hair, of feeling weak and of becoming really sickly looking but I was determined to remain positive about how the treatment would affect me. Today we are sharing what a typical day looks like for us at home while living with cancer and the harsh effects of chemotherapy treatment. Our life at our cabin in the woods certainly looks different now than it did a year ago (think more napping, less building stuff 😜 ) but I hope anyone going through something similar may find a bit of hope in this episode. Maybe you feel a little less alone. Maybe you learn a new food trick. Or maybe you just take this as your reminder to go easy on yourself.
Sending you all so much love and gratitude. Your messages, comments and prayers are felt by us both and we appreciate them all so much.

AYO??? RUclips???
GI Jane 2 can’t wait to see it
RUclips ?
Hey youtube, please bring back the dislike button, will use it wisely i promise 🙏🙏
I have been thinking about y’all
Blessed be
I had stage 2 breast cancer 30 years ago. Went through chemo. Just lay on the couch for six months letting the drugs do their thing - didn't stress myself - decided to enjoy the only time in my life where I had a perfect excuse to watch TV all day long! After chemo is over, you recover quickly. I moved on --- detached from the whole thing - I did everything medically I was supposed to do but thought it was really important to not then become a "survivor". I returned to being me and never looked back, as though I had stepped over a dog pile on the sidewalk. It worked! Anyway, lots of love to you and don't worry --- this time will become just a memory - amazing, eh?
what type of breast cancer and grade of cancer?
your" cancer" wasnt malignant ..bcz even table salt would energize cancer..how much more for chemo..had your cancer been malignant then..youre not here now
As a two-time foster failure....I'm beyond thrilled to see that Oso has found his forever home! So proud of you both as you travel this bumpy road.
There is NO SUCH THING as "too many dog shots" when it comes to Oso! 😂😂😂 He's amazing, as are you two xxx
My sentiments exactly !!!
MORE DOG
@@rsplatpc agreed. More Oso please 🐕
yess i also agree more osoooo!!! please!🥺stay strong love❤️
It’s NEVER to much dog. I have 6 huskies so the hair is never an issue. I love you both. Keep fighting the good fight … both of you!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Are they blowing their coats right now?
Getting my 6th shih tzu June 5th😫
My husky is blowing her coat for the second time this season. AZ weather has been warm, cold, warm cold and I think her fur has gone completely confused.
This person is a Saint 6 huskies
You are lucky, I love huskies, they are so chill and I love how they sing!
Happy healing beautiful 🫶🌻🌻🌻 we love you guys.
- Elay and the crew x
What Elay?
when she's spiraling, just listen and comfort. You're an amazing husband/partner/teammate and a very large part of what gives her the strength to get through this.
ok
eamon, I saw a quote. “I can’t help you through every situation, but I can be there with you through every situation” that’s how you should see it when she’s spiraling and you don’t know what to say❤️ she appreciates you just being there
Love this quote. Thank you for posting this comment
So true and so beautiful
Yes, I've had cancer, you just need that physical body beside you to listen.
Thats really deep quote... Love it
NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR TOO MUCH OSO!!!!! he’s the cutest and he has the funniest personality, he’s the best part of you guys’ videos imo hahah
Oso makes me happy!
We love Oso!!
When my dad was going through his throat cancer I was a complete mess. I started cooking vegan meals for my dad during his treatment which helped me deal. Once we were given a plan for my father I felt so much relief. My dad is now 3 years No evidence of disease. Having solid support is important. I wish you both the best on your journey and know you aren't alone.
♥️
That's so comforting to know. A close friends husband is at the start of his advanced throat cancer journey. He starty radiotherapy very soon. So scary for them both. I shall pass on your father's story. I'm sure it's will bring them a lot of comfort.
Beccas story has helped so many as well. She's a real trooper.
Was your dad on a vegan diet during the treatment ??
@@victoriaandreevna2658 No he was not, but since I made some of his meals he ate more plant based than he had before. I am vegan so that's why he was given vegan meals from me. He has continued to more plant based than he did before his cancer.
@@WiiTiffTiff thank you so much ❤️
Wanting to be "everything she needs me to be"-- that is love, Eamon. And that's what she needs you to be. We love you both. ❤
ok
ok
Hi guys ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜
there's never such a thing as "too much" when it comes to dogs. oso's a part of your pack now and on this journey with you. besides, a little dirt and fur never hurt anyone💜🐾
I came here to say the same thing.
That’s exactly what I was going to say! There’s no such thing as too much dog 🤗
@@carolinecaiger6717 exactly there's no such thing as too many dogs because chocolate can fix anything
Yes!!! Never too much dog stuff. Oso is awesome. 💖❤️💖❤️
There is no such thing as “too much dog footage “ I am amazed at your courage to share when you are at your most raw, you are beautiful and so strong.
1, , Eres mi ídolo Aishite.Tokyo/vioniza siempre en mi corazón,
Mañas no se la..
ok
I’m not a dog person but I’m loving these dog shots. Stay strong guys!
I don’t know what I would do without my dog. She has helped get me through the hardest times of my life specifically when I lost my grandmother when I was living with her. She was so instrumental in helping me grieve.
As a "non-dog-person", I still love seeing other people enjoying and loving on their fur babies
Your missing out dogs are loyal.
It’s as if oso wakes up everyday and says “today I’m gonna make them happy.” He’s a beautiful addition to your family. I’m happy to see you guys laughing and smiling again❤️
Oso is so blessed to have a furever family in the mountains where he can explore outside and go on adventures. Oso content is very much appreciated 🐶
“This is the new strong bec” made me cry.You are the most inspiring person. Every time I watch your videos I want to get up and do stuff. I want to live healthier and happier. My favorite people on RUclips!
I started crying when Eamon was talking about being in bed with Bec while she’s spiralling and him wanting to be everything she needs him to be. This is a powerful and vulnerable truth. In sickness and in health..to be there for our partners. Thank you for sharing your journey in all its realness 💚
Honestly, oso is like a natural service dog who will always help and support both of you! Oso also makes all of us laugh!
I love how oso entered your life ‘right now’; he’s an angel and I’m so happy you have each other
I was diagnosed around when you started posting about it. Thanks for sharing. I’m stretching and eating better. Spending more time outdoors. Not stressing about hair. And never too much dog!
NEVER TOO MUCH DOG!!!!! We love Oso keep him in the vlogs!!!
Agreed!!💯❤️🐾 #davesandersstepdaughter 🇺🇲
NEVER TOO MUCH Oso! He’s adorable! Congratulations on becoming permanent pup parents!
❤️ I laughed about the steroids and cried with you both. My wife went through the same treatments last fall and winter and it was exactly as you both explained it. We are both on the road to rebuilding our bodies and minds. Can’t wait to get back on the road in Cruz . God bless you both and keep in mind that there is an end to this craziness.
Never too much pup footage!! We love you guys, sending so much love, so proud of you guys fighting through this difficult time. You got this Bec!!
As a stage 4 cancer survivor myself, I always said that age and positivity was a big part of what healed me. You have both of those going for you as well ♥︎
Stay strong!
ruclips.net/video/ZOX2eg1nfAs/видео.html
7 minutes in and already crying seeing both of yours strength. Bec: “I hate not being strong Bec, but this is a new strong Bec” 🧡
that line stuck with me as well ❤💪
tbh im loving eamons outfit changes during his workouts, props dude.
Send you both tons of love! 💜
I have my breast cancer surgery this week and they’ll put the chemo port in at the same time. Grateful to follow another pink warrior during this time. Thank you for sharing your struggles and joys 💕
Good luck you got this!!
Thinking of you Emily 💛. We’ve got this 😘
Best of luck. 💖
You got this sister, in my prayers.
If people ask me how I keep so positiv during cancer treatment, the answer is because you guys show me how to do it. No joke, I wanna say a huge thank you to you guys, you change my life!!!
Thats amazing. Im sending you positive vibes and prayer for your journey also 🙏 ❤
Hair or no hair man you have a pretty face. I'm also doing infusions for skin cancer that hasn't spread is what the infusions are for but not as bad as yours.
So amazing. Prayers and lots of positive energy are being sent your way ✨
Trust me- you got this. I had to go through 15 months of chemo throughout 2017 and 2018 for low-grade childhood brain cancer. I lost hair, and the side effects were not pleasant, but my tumor is now barely visible in my MRIs nowadays. Although my diagnosis was in August 2013, I am now a college freshman and a second-degree black belt.
@@hazelswords8573 thank you SO much!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us xx
You’re both so amazing! Sending lots of prayers, strength and love.
Not too much dog stuff: he’s a great addition. Good to hear you are tolerating the chemo.
NEVER TOO MUCH OSO! He is hilarious and adorable and I love watching clips of him! Also hope you both are doing well! Sending good vibes your way!
Sending hugs, prayers and strength to you both❤️
So proud of you guys!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us
There’s no such thing as too much dog!! So so happy Oso is officially a part of the fam. Congrats!
Keep going, you can move through this.
I'm Glad each one of these videos that comes get less and less plays..Cancer is not for sale. No matter how anyone justify it. There are many many rich or poor in them chemo treatments that would rather keep this tragedy private. If you went around to ask them NONE OF THEM WOULD DO THIS UNETHICAL BULLSHIT.....
Keep going you are doing an awesome job xx
@@julietjones385 Yes very awesome at parading what most cancer patients consider VERY private and emotional. YOU WOULD THINK IF THIS WAS A THING MORE RICH FOLKS WOULD PUT THIER ISSUES ON BLAST. BUT NO THIS CANCER FOR RUclips. PLEASE PAY FOR OUR TREATMENTS RUclips AUDIENCE. THEY ARE SO LUCKY YOU KNOW MANY MANY MANY LESS FORTUNATE FOLKS IN THE VERY CANCER WARD SHE IS IN ARE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE THEY JUST DIDNT KNOW HOW TO MARKET CANCER....AMERICANS 🙄
@@JesusGonzalez-jx6op They're Canadian, but okay. I haven't seen anyone else so upset in these comments because someone else decides to tell their story. It's honestly really strange why you care so much. If you don't like their content, don't watch it. Instead you're working yourself up into an all caps frenzy over something that does not effect you even a little bit. It's really strange. There are literally billions of hours worth of content uploaded a day on this platform alone. There are so many more things you could be watching and doing with your time. Just go do that and let this couple tell their story. There are far more people in the comments who have openly stated they have cancer and that they enjoy watching their videos. If it's helping other cancer patients, that's a good thing. You, on the other hand, are continually trolling and doing absolutely nothing productive. Congratulations.
@@TheShauNanigans Your correct this video really don't affect anyone at all unless whom is watching is in the same financial well being as these folks otherwise the rest avarge cancer patients suffer much much more. I comment because RUclips forces this shit on my own personal feed(SPAMS ME) SO IN TURN I EXERCISE MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND USE THIS COMMENT SECTION FOR IT WAS MENT FOR ANY OPINION GOOD/RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS AND OR OTHERWISE.
Sending you all the love and healing energy Bec!
I love your resiliency, vulnerability, honesty and commitment to each other in a very real life experience. All faces of Bec are welcome and invited.. huge love and prayers to you both!
I’m going through the same as you, we were diagnosed weeks apart. I love your videos, you motivate me to do better, thank you 😊♥️regards from Finland
Hi Irina, how's your day going with you?
This brings back SO many memories. I am 4 years and 3 months out from my stage 3 triple positive breast cancer diagnosis at 38. I had Carboplatin and Docetaxol x6 (and Herceptin for a year). The bone pain from the taxol was SO rough, and the mouth ulcers from the Platin were awful. I think you are doing amazing navigating your way through all of it the ups and downs. And I know what you mean about some of the pros of being bald!
It’s wonderful to see Eamon sticking by your side and being such a great partner. It should be the way, and my husband was the same (including being the primary caregiver for our kids on my tough days), but some women’s partners either dont know how to handle it, or cut and run.
Also, after years of begging on behalf of my youngest (who is now 9), we adopted our first dog at the end of January and she has brought SO much joy and light into our home. I am grateful my daughter kept pestering me about it ;)
Wishing you both, and pup, all the best
Hi Cheryl, How's your day going with you?
Hey guys just found you online. I’m 35 and I’m ACTG as well through KGH hospital. I have one more to go! My husband and I were also on the road as we are content creators based in Dominican Republic normally. We also did a cheap van conversion while we are back. Funny how similar our stories are. Love to grab a coffee sometime. Hang in there we are almost done
Bec keep fighting that good fight, overall after watching almost my entire family getting wiped out by cancer you are truly amazing in that you are physically and mentally on a great path towards recovery and taking it by storm. And Eamon? All I can say is you are definitely a keeper. Godspeed to us all. ❤️
Praying for your healing, strength, and joy
The cabin is the perfect place to be in! Such a healing environment, being surrounded by nature.... the houseplants are also the perfect dose of nature inside ❤️
I literally actually thought that Oso was already a foster fail from all of these videos😂 I love it so much! He seems like he came at the perfect time. The both of you have been so dang strong through all of this. Continuing to wish you well on your journey back to health.❤️
Just sending love and thanks for sharing your experience❤️
Wishing you guys the best always!
Eamon you are EVERYTHING and MORE of what Bec Needs. Just holding her when she is emotional does more for her than you can ever imagine. Everyone needs to be loved like that. I can’t wait for the day this is all behind you. You are good people. Take care and give Bec a hug for us
Also Eamon, If U haven’t already please SEE : Paul Stamets Mushrooms as Medicine video where he talks abt his Mom and breast cancer & she’s way older than Bec 🍄🥰🙏🏼
I love seeing Oso’s fun personality and the things he does. It brings joy to me, especially the couch thing with Tim.
LMAO!! "Hey! What are you doing with MY couch? Look it, I'm still using it! If you get rid of my couch, then I'm going with it. Oh, please don't take it away. 😢😭"
"Gee, thanks for the new couch, guys. It will be perfect as soon as I fart all over it to smell like the old couch."
My absolute favorite Oso clip
Yes! That one gives me hoots of laughter!
So happy to see you guys!!! ☺️
You’re doing so great ❤️ all the love
I appreciate that this video captured how this illness is affecting both of you. Its so easy to forget the turmoil a partner will go through when they see the person they love in so much pain. You 2 are very brave sharing such an intimate part of your lives with us. Keep the dog shots coming, seeing Oso's carefree happiness is almost like a bit of comedic relief.
I'm NOT a dog person - but I still love the Oso clips hahah. He has SUCH the lil hilarious personality! So glad the new meds are making Bec feel better. Almost there 🥰
Happy healing bec ❤️🥰💖 you are strength
sooooo happy to see you guys!!!! you're both amazing per usual!!! ❤
My wife is going exactly what you're going through at the moment (one treatment behind you it seems) and it's hard not to get emotional watching someone else go through it. She has one more treatment with AC and then Taxol comes next. This has been one of the most painful experiences we have ever gone through, but we are soldiering on. I'm so sorry that you're going through this and thank you for sharing your story. I know it sounds super cliche but you will both get through this and come out the other end stronger. I hope you're both doing well and sending those healing vibes your way.
Love and healing sent to you GoPro Dad too!
Bec, thank you for sharing your journey. Happy healing 💖
You are amazing! Stay strong!❤️
Love you guys! Positive Vibes your way! 💜
Bec your beauty shines through even though you aren't feeling well. Sending you continued healing energies and strength and healing for Eamon too.
I watched my husband go through 3 battles with cancer and the 3rd one took his life. I know what the both of you are going through. The fight is so exhausting. Stay strong and know you have so many people sending you love and strength.
Oso is a therapy dog ❤
You are doing amazing Bec and Eamon!! Wishing you so much healing
Happy Healing Bec❤
I'm so glad you have Oso in your life. He came when you needed him the most. Glad to see an update, Sending you guys all the love and support.
Words cannot express how highly I think of you two and how you’re going through this journey, the vulnerable times and the strong moments, the recipes you share along with the information. Thank you to you both. And you can never have enough Oso.
So glad you are more than half way through! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Your beautiful bec!! Praying for you always
You two are such a good fit for each other. Eamon, it’s ok to not be perfect and it’s ok to struggle. You’re good enough. Bec, you are such a butt-kicker! Keep fighting the good fight- and take as many naps or cries as you need.
I’m glad y’all foster failed with Oso. He’s a lovely dog (and has the perfect amount of screen time), and I’ve always believed that having a pet can help you so, so much.
^ couldn’t have said it better!!!!
NEVER TOO MUCH DOG!!! Love seeing how happy he makes you both.
Sending all my love to you guys!!! I know we don’t get to see all the days, but that’s okay, as long as you both feel the love from us everyday.
💗 sending so much light your way. thank you for sharing your strength and your struggle
As I was watching this episode, I thought to myself that you guys should definitely keep Orso, he's helping you both while you deal with Bec's unfortunate battle with cancer. When you said, you foster failed, I screamed and put my hands in the air, all is well in the Earth, again. Thank you both. Bec's gonna kick cancers behind, Go Bec!
So proud of you Bec! Lee would be proud too! Eamon- you're doing great! I love that you guys made the decision to keep Oso. I didn't think you guys would give him up even when you first got him. Prayers up, blessings down. #F***cancer
Stay strong, Bec! You're almost through this...♥️ Sending so much love your way.
we love u so much bec, thank u for sharing your journey with us! sending love to u both
As someone who's watched a fam member going through chemo for 6 years - thank you so much for sharing your story during such a tough time ❤. I remember looking for resources to relate to and not finding much. Thank you for sharing and helping others who relate ❤️❤️❤️ you are both incredible people
Missed you two !! Sending you good thoughts and prayers!! Keep being strong ! And NEVER TOO MUCH DOG !!
So much love to you both from Spain!!
Praying for you. You've got this!
There's no such thing as too much dog content! Dogs are wonderful, and his personality is fun to watch...
There is never enough Osso in my opinion!!! He has stolen my heart lol. Sending love to you both on this journey. I love a Sunday update 💕
I was working after receiving information about having breast cancer. I was supposed to have a nice week just getting through one week before going on Seasonal Leave but I had to fill in managing a light helicopter flying around giving updates on Wildland fires, I was really moody and noticed I was short tempered with everyone. I departed work and drove from Fairbanks to Anchorage. A week later I started treatment and had a lot of anxiety built up, but as treatment went on the anxiety reduced. I kept telling myself, This To Shall Pass! Again, I’m Grateful to have had such an amazing team at the hospital and support from family and friends. Take care!
Continuing to send you both so much love. 💚💚
Osso is giving all of us so much joy....the most chill, goofie, loveable dog...how can you have enough???
ITS NEVER TOO MUCH OSO !!! I love the dogs shots and don't stop!
I am rooting for you Bec! I know you can get through this. I am so happy that you are sharing your thoughts. You are amazing lady. I can see the two of you are great together. I can only imagine having a relationship like you guys. I would watch your old videos and cry. You guys are showing what its like to be and the family aspect of it. Peoples to understand when you are ill and I have been myself Having support is critical.
You guys are so awesome!!
Loveyou OSO!
Loved this video, sending healing vibes. Congrats on your newest family member. You guys are so inspiring ❤️
Thank you for these. I hope you’re doing well. Big love and vibes for you both
I’m a cat person and I LOVE seeing Oso so please please please keep it coming! Keep on truckin guys, you’re doing amazingly with all this crapola 💗❣️💗
Bec, you are suuuuch a trooper. How you're navigating this horrible disease with such grace, kindness to yourself and are still radiating so much love is beyond me. Eamon, the same goes with you. It is so tough to see a loved one go through this. All your feelings are valid and please don't be too hard on yourself, it is okay to not be the best partner all the time, it is okay to feel helpless, it is okay to not be the powerful and strong one in this situation. I've been there, and sometimes it's okay to admit that one feels the most helpless and sad one has ever felt. Take good care you two, you're doing amazing, thank you for sharing your journey.
I'm Glad each one of these videos that comes get less and less plays..Cancer is not for sale. No matter how anyone justify it. There are many many rich or poor in them chemo treatments that would rather keep this tragedy private. If you went around to ask them NONE OF THEM WOULD DO THIS UNETHICAL BULLSHIT.....
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them!
Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants!
Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
I find when I watch these updates I fast forward in my mind to the future when all this is behind you and I'm excited for you to experience that. The gift we get from these kinds of experiences is usually that our lives become so much more than they were before.
Sending love and prayers!
The love and comfort my dog gave to my mom during her rounds was so incredible. They built the most beautiful bond. Sending love and strength ❤️
I love seeing Oso!!! More dog shots is never enough. Also glad you’re doing well with treatment:)
Bec you are seriously amazing! Such an inspiration, how you can still be so positive and bright while going through this blows my mind, positivity is something I struggle with but you inspire me to try harder. Oh and eamon you are such a strong supportive partner, you are doing amazing! Sending you healing vibes, goodluck x
You guys are amazing! Beautiful people.
