Day 6 post-chemo session #4 w/ Taxotere & Cytoxan

[@SkeletonCreekVids]

Hello…I hope this finds you doing well. I was so encouraged watching your videos by your bravery and strength. My heart went out to you because you are so young and going through so much. I’m 60 years old and had my double mastectomy Nov 20, 2023. Chemo is recommended now because of my onco score showing a high probability of recurrence. I can’t imagine going through this without Jesus! Anyway, I hope you are ok and can give an update to how you are doing soon. God bless you!

Hey there! Thank you for reaching out. I am so glad that you have found my videos helpful. I am doing really well post-treatment. I am still on the hormone blockers though but I can go off those in June of this year and my husband and I want to try to have a baby or babies. We shall see what the future holds. How are you doing after your surgery??

[@SkeletonCreekVids]

I’m really happy to hear you’re doing well! That is encouraging! A baby would be wonderful after all you (and your husband) have been through! I’m doing well and still healing. I will find out this week when I am scheduled to have my port put in and when my four rounds of chemo will start. Like you, I will be getting treatments of Taxotere and Cytoxan for three months. I just want to get it over with! Anyway, thanks for your reply and I really am happy for you! Also, I enjoyed your dental tips and scripture readings at the end of your videos 👍😊

@@SkeletonCreekVids thank you so much! I completely understand about to get started w/ chemo to get it over with. I was in the same boat. I actually got seated 1 week b/c an ice storm shut down the city for a week 😵‍💫 you will get thru this for sure!! Do you need any radiation?

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m doing really well. Praise be to God. 🙌🏻 how are doing?

[@alfonsinho74]

@breastcancerjourney.dr_colburt thanks I am doing well. If you wish I can pray for you. The Lord has put in my heart to pray for people carrying the burden of sickness. If you could please read Proverbs 4:21-22 every day 2 or 3 times a day. Aloud if you can.

[@alfonsinho74]

​@breastcancerjourney.dr_colburt Please read aloud Proverbs 4:21-22 two or three times a day. I admire your strength and your faith in The Lord .

How did you keep your hair so long hunny ! How much treatment did I you get before this video ! God Bless you , I’m about to go thru the same !

[@breastcancerjourney.dr_colburt]

@@sunshine4u294 I did cold capping but I cut my hair off into a pixie before starting chemo. They said I had a 60/40 chance of keeping my hair w/ my chemo protocol so I wanted to be prepared to lose it & thought that I would be able to mentally transition to baldness better if I had a chance to see myself with short hair first. I actually had 100% hair retention with the cold capping. You got this girl!! 💕💪🏻

Hi I love your videos .. how are you doing ?

[@breastcancerjourney.dr_colburt]

Thank you! I’m doing really. I actually competed in 2 body building shows a couple of months ago so that was fun!! I got a pet scan last month & I’m meeting with my oncologist tomorrow to go over the results. How are you doing??

[@jamiebond8481]

Does it seem like every new infusion was more challenging and harder in your body?

[@breastcancerjourney.dr_colburt]

Yes! I was more exhausted after each session for sure and it took a couple of days longer to recover on my last session
