Sweet Marina, I shouldn't be shocked, but I kinda am!! Who leaves someone they say they love when that person is in the worst possible place of their lives! Seriously! That's not love! They need to read I Corinthians 13:4-8 to see what the bible says about love. Act it, not just say the word. Words are cheap. My constant prayers and faith for your total healing, my precious friend!

[@confessionsofadollartreeaddict]

How long ago was that ? Were the tumors in the lymph nodes ?

[@myrastumlin-oyer7170]

@@confessionsofadollartreeaddict I had 5 lymph nodes removed and cancer in 3 of them. Had one large 10cm tumor feeding the two other smaller ones. Because of the size of the big tumor I was considered almost stage 3. Like the tree branch effect was taking place. I was diagnosed in 2017 and have been C free for awhile. In fact, I just got another year C free check up. In my case genetics was a big factor with other health issues. In our genetics I have hashimoto disease. Thyroid problems. Stay focused, stay around good positive people, and remember you can survive this. One choice I made right away was to have a mastectomy of both of my breasts. I looked at the fact I didn't want to ever go through this again and also less of it reoccurring again. I did put implants in but my body rejected them so I had them removed. I got an implant illness from them. It doesn't happen with everyone though. Do your research and make choices for you. I had chemo and radiation. Radiation was the worst for me. Stay strong my sister warrior.

Do what makes you happy!! I’ve used Castor Oil for skin. Hair care and detox. I also do the castor oil packs. Castor oil helped me grow my hair back because my hair was thin and balding due to stress. I’ve used it on my eyelashes as well and I haven’t noticed a dramatic effect there. Also castor oil is great for healing the skin. I got a couple water blisters a few weeks ago and I popped them, and there was only raw skin below because the top layer of skin was taken away as it was the top part of the water blister. The layer of skin under that was very sensitive and painful to even the slightest touch. I put castor oil over that and it acted like, the top layer of skin and worked as a barrier to prevent infection. It also helped it heal quicker and scab over quicker. I’ve heard that the best castor oil to use is the hexane free castor oil that comes in a brown glass bottle and is organic. I’m not sure if that is what you’re using or if you’ve heard of that. But that is what I am using and it works for me. I’m glad that you are getting rid of negative people on your channel. People shouldn’t be telling you that it’s dangerous to make a video and drive. It’s clear that you are paying attention to the road and that the cell phone is safely mounted to record you. It’s no different than talking to a passenger in the car. Love you girl, and it is all joy!

The way you feel with your oncologist is important, I was so blessed. Anxiety meds help a lot, tho you may have to try more than 1. Eat good nutritional foods, fresh, cleaned and cooked properly while on chemo. Stay away from GMO foods and bioengineeried ingredients But the most important is remain postive and kind. A cool play list helps during radation. I used that time to repeatedly imagine my cancer leaving my body. And it did Be careful what you eat after the PET scan
