I'm so glad I found your channel. We had a family friend diagnosed in with Breast Cancer in September 2008, 9 months later, she was gone.
Me, My siblings and all her nieces and nephews that I became friends with looked up to her like a mother. When she was diagnosed, it was a week after my 10th birthday. Too young to know what cancer was, or what it would do to someone. I was always told she was "poorly" and that "she'd be better soon" We then got a phone call to say she was dying. It took me Two Years to accept the fact that she's gone, and to be honest, nearly 10 years down the road, I still don't want to accept it.
Your channel has helped me learn about breast cancer, what it does to someone, how it's treated, how it affects daily life, work, relationships, etc. I'm so so happy you're doing so much better. You're able to get back into work again, and pretty soon life will be back to normal. Your new hair style looks great! It reminded me of how my Grandmothers would've looked in the late 1940's.
If you don't mind me asking, where in Ireland are you from? I have family all over that country Dublin, Limerick, Ennis. I stayed in Castlemaine County Kerry last year for a summer holiday and loved it. The rental house was huge, the area, and the residents were all very caring, and when they found out we were tourists, they were so keen to show us around the place, despite the many tourist help desks.
Recently, I was admitting into hospital with severe feelings of pain and pressure in my head, i was MISdiagnosed with a Ventricular Brain Dilation (I'm still unsure what that means), I had a CT scan which showed the dilation, but went back after pain was getting worse, and went through an MRI Scan which showed there was nothing. I never got told what was wrong, but this was all a couple weeks ago and I'm now okay. I had most of the symptoms of a brain issue, but i didn't have anything to worry about, it was just scary not feeling right and nobody being able to identify what it is.
Sorry this was so long, but over all, thank you for what you do.
Wishing you a quick recovery, and a wonderful Christmas & New Years to you and the family.
James Carson thank you so much! Kerry is lovely... Irish people in general are very friendly! I live in Wicklow myself! So sorry that you had such a confusing time for so many years. I always found the same, cancer was a taboo topic. I will always be open about it and speak about though! Glad to have helped! Hope you stay well in terms of the head issues! Happy Christmas!
I love watching your videos, it helps a lot and always reminding me that I can also beat cancer. Just have to believe it, i will be okay soon...
Hello Hanna
Are you in Japan
I live here in Japan and I am just done with my surgery, chemo and radiation therapy.
I would love to talk to you about your experience during your journey here in Japan, if you are ok with this
Amazing, just saw one of your chemo vids and it's great to see you looking & feeling much better! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, best wishes.
I'm so glad you are doing well. I was diagnosed with a rare cervical cancer in January 2019. I can't imagine going back to work after this is over because I'm feeling so bad and sad. It gives me so much hope that one day my life will come back to me. I start treatment this Tuesday and your videos have made me feel better. Thank you so much for this!
Donna Burdette is so sorry to hear about that, stay stronger u will beat this! If you don’t mind me asking what was ur symptoms
Hannah Cwp I didn't have symptoms. They found a fibroid and decided to do a hysterectomy. When they sent everything off for biopsies my cervix came back with cancer. It is a kind that isn't detected with a pap smear so by the grace of God I was saved.
So sorry to hear this, Donna. Wishing you all the very best with treatment. Don’t worry, right now.. getting back to work should be the last thing on your mind. It all happens in stages x
Congrats on getting back to work. You look fabulous!
Even though my long term unemployment and lack of opportunity is increasingly depressing me in every way and I usually get jealous and angry of anyone who has work you inspire me because you're so brave and determined! God bless and happy new year Xx
I am on chemo 3...on a similar path as you had so all of your videos are super helpful. It is so great to see you getting back to ‘normal’ although normal doesn’t really exist anymore once u have been through this. Can you do a video on diet and what you ate, comfort foods, energy foods.
Your videos have been such a comfort to me right now. I rewatch all your cancer videos almost every night and when I feel weak, like I can’t do this, you inspire me. I am trying to do the same on my own channel to spread awareness to at least my friends and family and that’s all thanks to you showing me I COULD do it. Thank you Dee. Thank you for doing this...thank you for showing me I can make it through the next 6-8 months. Thank you for your strength even when I’m sure you felt weak. You are a blessing to me and I will always remember the comfort you brought me during what I imagine will be some of the hardest days of my life ❤️
also, I love your instagram updates, seeing you living your best life post cancer diagnosis. Your posts about the spice girls made me think of the good times I’ll have on the other side of this!
Thank you for continuing to share your journey. As a survivor I find it very helpful.
You are what brave looks like. Every night I watch one of your vids and aspire to have the courage you do. ❤
Thank you for this video. I finally finished my chemo last week. So excited to start my "new life". I say new because I am different now. You have helped me so much with your videos and post on Instagram. I just noticed I still have a old pic of me with this profile. I had my hair still 😕. I guess i need to change it
Well done Dee I am so delighted to see you looking so well and it's brilliant that you are back working . You deserve all the happiness in the world and the happiest of Christmases . You are amazing and inspirational to everyone. Remember to take care and look after yourself and thank you for keeping us all in the loop.
Anne Carrick thank you so much x
I love your videos. They are uplifting and encouraging.
You are SO normal looking, happy just to be back to that normal, must be a really happy feeling ? When I say normal looking, I mean, no longer look I'll.you were always beautiful, but to see that light in your eyes, and all the smiling - awww it makes me so happy to see.enjoy every moment , but, would still love hearing from you,on here of course. You are such an inspiration and just a beautiful soul. God bless and keep you safe . 😘
So true. Cancer transforms you to a whole new existence. Going through the journey myself and living in the moment like never before💕 good luck with everything.
Congratulations i can't wait to see my mother finish her treatment like you and her hair growing back again, u give us such positive energy I'm showing her your videos and she is strong like you ♡♡ hope you can make video about food and stuff that you eat after your treatment .😘❤
So glad to see that you’re now better. I’m currently going through the beginning tests and go in for my biopsy next week for possible bone cancer. I have watched every one of your cancer journey vlogs and you truly are an inspiration. Will there be an updated vlog coming? X
Dee, I just wanted to say thank you! I've watched all of Your Videos and you've totally inspired me to be strong, not to be scared and to fight! I got diagnosed with breast cancer on January of this year while I was 32 weeks pregnant. Was in total shock! Couldn't believe it that this is happening to me and especially I was pregnant. Now my baby boy is 7 weeks old and I am just extremely scared but watching your videos is extremely helpful, it helped me not to be scared, that I can do this, that I got this and if you did it I can do it too! I am going to have my surgery next week Monday April 8th, a lumpectomy and then chemotherapy right after. Thank you so much for your videos. You have such a beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️ take care.
Mom of Bob best of luck to you xxxx thank you for being so kind
This was so awesome to see, I just completed day one of chemo and have 4 days left in this cycle; I’ve watched your videos and I feel like you (and a few others) have really helped me prepare for this chemo step (first step was surgery) I just want to say thank you for being you and being honest during good and bad times throughout chemo. Thank you again Dee!
Carissa Weina awwww Carissa!!! Hope it all goes well xxx
Love this 😍 I’m so happy you sound & look fantastic! I was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. Early stages so hoping for the best. Your videos and the information keeps me sane.
Christina Maravilla thank you so much darling!! I was very good friends with a girl with lymphoma all throughout my treatment x you need to Instagram it up... find your lymphomies ...!
I love your honesty. My husband has cancer and has been going through similar experiences. The tips in some of your previous videos were spot on. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas!!!
Jennifer Smith thank you so much, hugs to you both ❤️
You really look so great really thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
You are so sticking adorably hehehe and CONGRATULATIONS YOU AWESOME SURVIVOR! I can’t wait to reach my finish line...
Brook McKinney very best of luck to you Brook xx
Thanks for doing these video's and I'm glad to see you're doing better. I just had my first round of Chemo 2 weeks ago and going for round 2 next week. I hope I do better with the side affects next time. I had expectations of taking only a few days of from work after each treatment but keeping my job. Realizing now that just isn't going to happen. How depressing.
Dee...You look AMAZING ! Thanks for keeping us all inspired by the way you are! Congrats on the new job! Love and God's continued blessings to you and your family!
Great to see how you're doing at last! !! You look fab what a strong woman you are and an inspiration to us all . Thank you xx be happy xxx

I work in a car factory and I'm worried that I won't be able to do my job. I'm always watching to see if you've posted anything to see how you're doing. I'm so happy for you that your doing well.
Tracy Mechel girl, we do what we can. You know what you can and can’t do. I can’t lift a huge bag of sand. But I can put a child on my knee. We figure it out x have no fear
Thanks for sharing. I just had a lumpectomy for stage 2 breast cancer. How did you find/tolerate the hormone therapy?
I loooove your videos you’ve helped me tremendously, I’m halfway through my treatment 🙏🏽 can’t wait for it to be over 🙏🏽♥️

It was so nice to see your doing so well , and happy . Enjoyed your video
Nanaof4 thank you!!
Hello Dee, I find you very inspiring!!! What tests did they do to say they can find no active cancer now? I’ve had chemotherapy and radiotherapy last 29/05/20 last week on a phased return to work from home started work. Just wanted to get a time frame really. Xxx. How did you feel when they said they couldn’t find any active cancer did you feel abit less worried if that makes sense. Xx
Tracy Knee well to be honest you are just told you have no active cancer once radiotherapy finishes. We don’t get regular check ups here. Mine have been a bit more regular than others (I get a CT once a year) and then I go for a mammogram on the non cancer side once a year also which is the biggest waste of time. No is the answer x sorry, you don’t feel better. At least I didn’t. The worry goes away slowly. But you never feel magically cured.
I liked that...."Lucky me!!!" I am gong to use that!
Congratulations. You look amazing.
Ya You! You look beautiful and healthy!
You are awesome !
Haha! You are awesome for saying that ☺️☺️
Hi Dee, How are you doing with the AI medication? So glad you in a good place. Thanks for sharing your journey. Px
relaxevous1 hi don’t know what you mean
AI is for aromatase inhibitor it is given to Brest cancer patients who are er + to help reduce/get rid of oestrogen, hope that helps to clarify?
Oh I have another more recent video where I discuss that specifically x

@@DeeDoherty I have to have all the things done that you did as well. You are very encouraging. Thank you again! God Bless!
We need an update!!! Hope you are well.
Missed you!
Oh cool a teacher. Thought you would work in a department store don't know why. Your looking great by the way x
k meg ah thank you!
Hey love! Just coming across your channel and I was wondering had you ever gotten tested for the BRCA1 Gene Mutation or "Triple-Negtative Breast Cancer"? I ask because there is a particular section in my family where many of the women with the gene mutation has been diagnosed with Triple-Negative Cancer in their breast, ovaries, and/or cervix. It's usually more aggressive than the typical forms of the cancer and it happens at Younger Ages. If you haven't, I urge you to have your doctors test you for the mutation and if you are positive, have them to perform not only a double mastectomy, but a hysterectomy as well for preventative measures because you're very likely to have another bout of cancer or a higher chance of it spreading. Also a 50/50 risk of it passing down to your children. I have a cousin that passed from this type of breast cancer and her daughter dealing with it right now at the tender age of 28, so I hope I can help prevent it in other people! Sending Love and Prayers!!😘😊
lilmamacitaa waiting for results
I love youl thanks for being real.
So this was a good few months ago now - how are things going in the job?
Ruth E Randoms I’m in a different job but going well. I’ve put other updates on my channel
Aww I tried looking for your IG but it's cancelled. Hope your doing well
Natalie Rivera Dee Doherty 😝
Just saw a 2019 video you look 😍😍
I have/had cancer I had surgery then chemo !. I smoked THC weed, now I'm looking for a job? But I know THC will come out on the drug test ? What can I do I'm I screwed? 🤔
Honestly weed help me out alot more then the stupid pills
you look beautiful x but frankly you never looked rough in chemo, GO VICHY haha x
Dobrý den, jste silná mladá žena, máte děti, důvod pro co bojovat, velice rychle jste se zotavila avšak moc spěcháte do práce :-) Buďte na sebe opatrná. Vím o čem mluvím, mám také rakovinu prsu, bohužel.
Tan Zip thanks. I am careful, perhaps I’m younger than you? Not sure ... I’m quite happy to get back to my life. Treatment is what made me sickest, not cancer. I am not the type to sit around feeling sorry for myself.
@@DeeDoherty:-) Přeji Vám ať se daří :-)
😀😀😀😀
Did you have a hysterectomy?
No she had breast cancer.
Hi Dee, what is your Instagram??
Tegan Duffill @deedohertycarroll
@@DeeDoherty Thanks!!
