I was diagnosed with two simultaneous breast cancers ( both estrogen positive, one HER2 positive) last year and did chemo had double mastectomy and in October had my ovaries removed. I take letrozole daily and am still getting Herceptin every three weeks until February. As brutal as chemotherapy and the mastectomy were the estrogen blockade was worse. I had no idea how bad the menopause side effects were going to be and it is a daily battle. My joints ache, insomnia, zero sex drive, intrusive dark thoughts, and round the clock hot flashes have truly made me look back at chemo like it was the easier part of this treatment because I knew it would end. I exercise daily and take a very serious approach to my nutrition. I try to have a positive mindset and am grateful for everyone in my life. I consider myself lucky but it is a daily battle.

I have the exact same side affects 3 years later 😢 I did have radiotherapy too but the menopause symptoms were ruining my life! 1 and 1/2 years of using patches and I now need to get a full hysterectomy as they keep making my uterus react very badly. It’s been a process and still going though it … but I’ll get there and so will you 💜🤗

You may relay this information to your oncologist. They can change your AI. I haven’t started my AI yet but I’ve already made it clear I won’t live with bad side effects from the AI and I’ll take my chances without it.

[@SavedbyGraceSETT]

Hi, just a question if you had your ovaries removed you still need the medication to block estrogen?

[@timrobinson8314]

@@SavedbyGraceSETT yes. I had my ovaries removed many years ago and I still have to take AI.

Dr Amy, thank you for the protein and exercise tips and recipes! Your information has greatly helped me through the terrifying experience of chemo the past three months, 3 rounds out of 6 so far. I will continue to watch and share your videos, and trying the yummy recipes, especially with those currently experiencing the same situation.

I'm suffering financially due to paying bills late, suffering layoffs, wrecking my car because my brain doesn't work like it used to. I seriously regret getting chemo a year ago for my early stage cancer.

[@terrywilding8580]

Chemo is such a usual turn. I am taking Gemcitabine and Docetaxel into bladder. I was told no hair loss. But tired most of time. Clear for 6 months but still tired. Still have hair

[@erinsmith824]

Are amino acid supplements ok to take during chemo treatment?

[@radha08naidoo78]

I got cervical cancer. Felling tired . Some day's it's ok some day's it's worse. Like to be alone I did camo and radiation. For 6 weeks bleeding stopped. Any other advice. 😍

[@gerryreynolds8367]

I'm having chemo and radiation treatments for throat cancer..........had sepsis after the first round of chemo that put in the hospital for 6 days.....am now waiting to see about my second round.....am told have half the white blood cells, red ones are nill.....and platelets are barely noticeble.....supposed to restart on the 30th...rats everyday except weekend......

[@karenalexander1579]

My white blood cells remained low due to lupus but now I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Completed surgery and may have to do chemo. I am concerned about having to do chemo when my white blood cells are already so low

[@kemjelavenir3643]

If the growth factors aren't working?

[@kemjelavenir3643]

What to do inordee to generate white blood cells

[@JilSpangenberg-ys7fz]

I had simultaneous chemo with radiation. I was done 6 months ago... STILL I AM EXHAUSTED!!! When does that end? Or have I just become lazy? I also have some mild (thankfully) neuropathy in toes and fingers. I know that won't go away by itself so I am following some of your suggestions. I also just started in home PT and OT. Mainly because I had Pulmonary Fibrosis BEFORE Lung Cancer. But after radiation concurrent with the Chemo it has thrust my PF into HIGH GEAR. I am now oxygen dependent. Making it VERY difficult to move at all. There are days when I honestly feel it would be better for me to choose Hospice and let nature take its course. But oncologist says I am nowhere near there. Maybe not according to my Stage 3B NACLC, but probably am to PF! I just feel like the struggle is no longer worth it.

[@alejandranatasha5259]

I have had the worst chest and back pain/tightness/compression plus annoying headaches since starting chemo over 2 months ago from the AC combo and I still have 12 taxol sessions that remain. I pray everyday that these awful symptoms I’m experiencing are not forever. The pain is unbearable some days and I’m desperate to feel “normal” again….

[@arlenenicholas4073]

But most times chemotherapy kills you....

I agree.

I finished chemo October 2023 I am not sure of the cause of severe weight loss?

Iam having severe weight loss is it caused by chemotherapy?

The chemo makes my arthritis very bad, I am in agony for the 1st week after chemo.

Every video she makes vague statements without revealing any tips, it's so she can sell her program for THOUSANDS of dollars. In her own words she said, "Give me 3 weeks.... "and over $3,000". It's really despicable how some people profit from other people's sorrow

[@karpfenteich82]

Do you seriously expect her to give free consultations and work at a supermarket at night to feed her family? Actually, she shared everything important already: lots of protein, fresh fruits and vegetables, daily walks and strength training. And staying well hydrated, of course.

[@amazingautumn12]

@karpfenteich82 We all know that and BEEN doing that. But to charge for her program 3k on the backs of people that suffer that sound about right to you?
