See part 2 of my journey here: • My Journey with Breast...
Well, here we are again! I’ve been debating on how and when to share this news here but honestly there’s no right or wrong time. After almost 5 years after my Breast Cancer diagnosis, I found out two weeks ago that the cancer metastasized in my bones (pelvis and T1). I’m still working out all details but feel good about the treatment plan and just started my first round of infusions last week. My thinking has been: I’ve beat it once and if it’s God’s will I’ll beat it twice. With that said, I know it’s easy to get into despair mode but I’m constantly reminded I am blessed beyond understanding and won’t let no cancer out-shadow my blessings and the immense gratitude I have for all the gifts my Father in heaven has given me in this life! So thankful for our incredible community here, for hunny buns the most loving and kind human, my family and friends.

12 years after bilateral mastectomy, multiple surgeries due to infections, chemo infusions including 33 radiation treatments and reconstruction, it came back. Metastasis in my bones, spots on my lung and liver. 2 and a half years later, here I am. My spots have disappeared. I take chemo pills twice a day, I did 10 radiation treatments also. Like you, I go for lab and hormones blockers monthly. Every 3 months, CT scans, I see my DR and bone infusion. My tumor marker is lower than any healthy person today. My hip has started to hurt recently and I have slowed down my gym visits for now. Positive attitude and living a normal life is key. I’ve gone from wheelchair to walker to cane to heels and back. I’m at flats for now because of the hip pain but planning to go back to heels and dancing. I’m soon to be 71 😊 good luck to you, it is definitely tough, but we can do it! 💝

I cannot talk this calmly about what am I going to cook today and here you are talking about cancer and metastasis… what a strong lady it’s unbelievable. This attitude will help you heal dear. With cancers is very important to stay calm, stressless and happy as you already are. My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer and was given 3 months to live. Year later she went to Dr that diagnosed her and he was shocked that she was “still” alive and told him:” It’s God who’ll decide for me how long will I live and not you”. Now 27 years later, she is warrior. Nothing can stop her helping others in community with any function they have, from panning baby showers, to weddings to preparing meals…cook on festivals basically doing her regular things even though at times she is in extreme pain. Good luck to you dear, you’ll get out of this as a winner❤

I had breast cancer twice, tumors in both breast 6 years apart. My oncologist told me that I’m now a high risk for cancer again, and it could show up as a different cancer and location. I just finished radiation two weeks ago and when they did the right side somehow they hit my heart with the radiation. So now I have a weak heart also had to have three stints put in.

I had a complete hysterectomy including my ovaries. 22 lymph nodes were also removed from my pelvis and biopsied. The doctor just gave me a green signal and I never went to see any oncologists or anyone else. For that matter I don't go to hospital at all and even treat my bp at home. I'm 63 years old now.

[@almastirmizi13]

@paul The Gnostic Insha'Allah....( God willing.)

[@foxd.9978]

Thats why they are now doing more and more neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemo , meaning giving chemo to make sure it doesnt spread. Even with the double mastectomy unffortunatly its not guaranteed a couple of cancerous cells have not spread , thats why chemo is so important helping to kill cancerous cells thoughout the body sistemically. Is chemo shit ? Of course it is. It gives horrible complications at times but its undeniably a good weapon agaist cancer . And agaist cancer reocorrence too. May god or the universe or whoever give us strenght to cope with this horrible disease :/

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Also, please note that blood tests are not a way to prevent cancer from coming back OR to determine if it were back. If that was the case every person would get these tests. There is also no scientific evidence that estrogen blockers here and there based on any type of blood work is helpful. You either take it for YEARS if your cancer is estrogen sensitive or it's not helpful. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for your openness with what you have/are going through... you gave me hope after watching this - mine metastasized to vertebrae & ribs. Wishing you great days ahead. Like my best friend told me "don't live every minute to the fullest... live every SECOND to the fullest". God's Love & Blessings

Thank you for sharing your story. This year made me realize that we as women go through so much cr@p in our lives and yet it's unbelievable that in this day and age we are still so under-estimated. Earlier this year I went through diagnosis and surgery of 2 breast tumors myself. It was very humbling and stressful experience, especially that one of my surgeons (I had two surgical opinions) was just not a nice person (to say the least) and made the entire experience a whole lot worse. Here in Canada where I live we can't be very picky as our healthcare is in very poor state. Sometimes cancer investigations and breast surgeries take many months, and people die on waiting lists, so you get the picture... I watched your 2 previous cancer videos and agree with you that mindset is so important when dealing with situations like this. It took me about 2 months to start getting my $hit together, and I look for more inspiration. Wishing you all the best and I hope that they will be able to suppress your mets with the treatments you picked. I will certainly follow your journey.

I am a new subscriber and this video came up so I was a bit confused. (The previous video that made me subscribe was fashion related.). You are telling my sister’s story! Having recently been told myself about my cancer, I can tell you that you absolutely have the best mindset! Please stay positive! I am praying for you! God is good!

[@jackiemoosemoose2381]

I am so sorry to hear this. I worked with you for a short time. Your videos were very helpful to me as I started my journey last year. Stay positive. You are stronger than you think.

[@KL-fn7xs]

You've got this, all will be fine! I am praying for you❤

[@cassandraw9799]

I was diagnosed with bc in 2021. Your video was one of the first I stumbled upon that provided some insight and encouragement. Sorry to hear this. But you’re so strong, beautiful and amazing.

[@vickieparks628]

You are so correct. As a 23 year cancer survivor I tell other survivors that I have spoken to is hold on to your faith whatever it is and believe. I try to stay stress free and think pleasant thoughts.

[@elizabethbeth9930]

Did you take tamoxifen?

[@vickieparks628]

@@elizabethbeth9930 Yes, I took tamoxifen then aridmidex (maybe misspelled) for a short period.

[@anwang9900]

You are so brave and I will pray for you ❤

[@connielea1896]

Praying for victory for you over cancer. This is my first time watching. I am so heartbroken that so many young people who are being diagnosed with cancer. Just live your life but always remain positive. God bless you.

Thank you so much for this very personal video. This is so empowering for me, your attitude and your faith, your authenticity and your bravery! I m in great pain at the moment because I lost my partner and spiralling all the time. And watching you being so brave and straightforward, hit me with admiration for you and your attitude. You can’t imagine how much you helped me just change perspective! Wish you all the best! God bless you!
