    Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. I also had triple negative breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy in January 2024, my pathology report showed no cancer in my lymph nodes and my oncologist did get all of the cancer it was a 1/2 inch in size stage #1. I am going through my 4 and 12 chemo infusions. I like telling myself the cancer is gone, yet I know I must have the chemo and radiation and will survive this. I know God is in control and needs me to be the strength for others going through the same. You are a very strong woman and full of Faith I know. Thank you for all of your tips! I have a lot of catching up to do on your post. Today is day one and you have already taught me some of what I did not know to expect. Thank you again sister I will be Praying for you. Have a Blessed Day!!

    So glad it's not cancer. I had a good feeling that it was nothing bad. I am Shirley and I am a little older then you I finally gave up smoking 6 months ago because I had shortness of breath and got scared was in the hospital for 6 days, they got me breathing good again with treatment and a inhaler called spareva. I will never go back no more cravings. I thought for sure I had lung cancer and that's what really scared me and couldn't walk across a room getting shortness of breath. I am good now. You look great as always.LOL.

    Hello my pink sister! I’m so glad to hear about your good news. I’m currently going through radiation as well as chemo. Your channel has provided me with the much needed info to get me thru this. You have shared some very truthful facts. I had to let go of the people who made it clear that a true friendship never existed. An elderly lady told me to think of it as a catch and release fishing trip…..”enjoy the catch then let it go”! That’s what I’m doing. Great info. Thanks again, Cynthia

    Congratulations Marina on the negative biopsy report🤗, I'm so happy for you. As a one time bc survivor I can relate to both the apprehension you felt just knowing you needed another biopsy, and the relief as well, once you hear it's not cancer. I can only imagine how much more intense those feelings are for someone like yourself who is a two time bc survivor. GOD BLESS you for all the time & positive energy you put into your messages and education. You have a whole community you never met who loves you & is praying for your continued good health. 🤗💗

      Hey I’m Nish from Sri Lanka - I finished treatment( chemo, radiation , steroids…. The works!) a few months ago and just did the check ups and got an all clear 1 year after diagnosis.
      Reading your comment made my heart melt - I soooo remember being there! I know the road ahead seems scary and nothing I say is gonna take away that fear but please believe me - you will find a strength you never knew existed in you, and each round of chemo, you’ll find more!!! It goes really fast - it will be over before you know it! I actually wish I had the baldness for a while longer coz I never got to wear ALL the funky scarves my friends got me! Every step of this journey is gonna make you better - not just health wise but in every other way. I sometimes think of it as a cleansing process - it cleansed me of my cancer but also of so many things in life that i needed to let go of!
      Hang in there - if you need to talk, text , email , I’m here . This is me nish1976@icloud.com
      I would love to help .
      Marina is so brave to help us all with this channel - where would I be without all her love and outpouring!!! I wake up to check her Instagram stories for inspiration every day!!
      That’s just how much cancer can do FOR you - don’t focus on what it is doing TO you. As Marina says so rightly, acknowledge it, cease the moment you’re in but also let go of what you need to, to move forward.
      Wishing you tons of strength and sending prayers! You are a woman, you are a warrior, you are already healed! Believe in this truth🥰🥰🥰🥰

    Was just diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer last month. Starting chemo today. I say today because it’s past midnight out here and I’m lying awake after crashing all afternoon. I’ve gone through three sets of biopsies, including an MRI biopsy yesterday(?) for one last suspicious spot. This past month has been so hard with all of the tests and anxiety that I am so ready to just start this chemo. Thank you for this channel. I’ve already subscribed. You are so amazing going though this two times. I am in awe.

      @rachelbodley5720 2 года назад +1

      @@tammytaylor5676 yes!! Marin is amazing! I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis but it will get better. The not knowing phase is actually the worst part so far. Chemo for me has been pretty tolerable so far. I had one set back early on with low white blood cell counts so now I take daily injections for three days following each weekly injection. So lots of back and forth to the oncologist. That part is getting pretty old but now I have just four more weekly infusions before moving onto the next chemo regimen. Everyone’s treatment and response is different so don’t get trapped in a comparison game. Just work your treatment, look up at your goal when you need inspiration, and keep it one day at a time. That last one is so important because this can overwhelm you if you let it. Also telling my friends and family was the best thing I did. I have a huge and amazing supper group that I didn’t even know was waiting in the wings. Take care and I’m praying for you!

Well, I am a pro at it. Have had DNA testing because most don't exhibit 3 cancer events (no results at this time). I am ready to tackle this stage 4 breast cancer...life goes on and I don't want to miss any of it!

    Shirley here, can I ask you one question? How did you take care of you dusting and cleaning you house during your treatments. I saw you doing laundry making meals and cleaning the kitchen, walking the kids and 🐕🐶 walking dogs. Your house looks pretty good size and always clean. I don't mean to sound noisy it's just you did such a amazing job going through all those chemo and radiation.

    • @MarinaBlackford
      @MarinaBlackford  2 года назад

      Hi Shirley! Yes I do all the everyday stuff (especially with toddlers) like laundry, vacuum, toy and kitchen clean up. I have cleaners come monthly to clean my showers, sliding glass doors, mop and dust. They are 2 of the sweetest ladies I’ve used since I was pregnant with Easton. That could be an amazing gift to someone to have their house cleaned. I can’t pretend to do it all!

      Hi! Thank you for watching! My question is, did you already do chemo? And they want to do more? Having complete PCR is good. Just ask your doctors all your questions. Maybe seek a second opinion if you need. I can’t give you a clear answer. I think you need to go with what you believe is best for you.

So obviously my tumor was estrogen positive so I am now on Aramidex - the side effects of which are sometimes harder than anything I’ve been through! Really down days, weight gain, sleepless nights …. Thank God for the FITON app which is what really keeps me going with daily exercise! Im now trying to LET GO of who I was and embrace who I have become- it’s so much easier to say than to actually do but, it’s either that or live my whole life wanting to go back which is just not possible right?
