- Many cancer patients are put on treatments to help lengthen survival but it comes at the cost of
severe, debilitating side effects.
In this conversation, metastatic breast cancer survivors Janice Cowden and Chelsey Pickthorn, discuss advocating for the “right dose.” They discuss how cancer patients will repeatedly endure the most toxic dose at the beginning of each new regimen, impacting their quality of life. They voice how to find the right dose, how to bring it up with your doctor and the importance of advocating for yourself.

I am marveling at your tenacity amid your challenges. Prayers for continued long quality of life for you to enjoy.
Best of luck to you both. I love how you are so active in your treatment plans. Thank you for the encouragement
I had tripe negative early stage breast cancer 6 years ago. I had a double mastectomy and was told they got the tumor and it didn't go to my lumph nodes but I also had to have chemo. I wanted to do the right thing so did it. After the first dose I was so sick I ended up losing 15kg had a physcosis and ended up in hospital. The hospital said I had had too high a dose. I decided to stop treatment even though the oncologist wasn't happy. Changed my diet and used alternative medicine felt so much better never looked back. Chemo is not the great cure they make out, do your homework. Thanks for your video.
You're so right. Chemo is not the great cure they make out. And some people die of chemo. Diet & alternative medicine can be much better. Here's to your good health.
Please tell me what you did because i can't continue to deal with chemo. I also have triple negative breast cancer.
@@keepingitreal243 Hi, everyone's diagnosis is different, I'm not sure exactly what you have so would not want to recommend anything. For me I went to a natrupath, a women's health doctor and did several tests, one of which went to Germany to check how many cancel cells were in my system. I took supplements perscribed by natrupath especially Vit D which I was very low in and sat in the sun for 20 minutes each day. I stopped drinking alcohol and initially cut down on all sugars. I checked in with my spirituality and even attended Church for awhile. This was a life style change which still serves me well today. I hope this helps. Please note my cancer was stage one and I had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction as well. Best wishes
