[@peacefulminimalist2028]

I just finished my treatment and operation for BC stage 3, and just want to tell you I spent a few nights in hospital with a woman who had BC stage 4 for almost 20 years. She has kept it in check with new medications, radiation and immune therapy and at the same time traveled the world. Wishing you the very best and still a long and exciting life! 10-15 years is not rare nowadays, 20 years is even better, and who knows which medications exist by then! Keep the hope ❤❤

@@DeeDoherty Targeted therapies have really come a long way. My type of cancer was HER2+, hers was estrogen+. She was the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, probably in her 70’s. She was telling me all about her travels and how she found so much joy from them and also her garden and nature. She also had an awesome sense of humour - she said: even if you have stage 4 cancer you can let your hair out and enjoy life to the fullest - well you can’t she said - pointing at my bald head. 😂 Will never forget her. As far as I know she’s still going strong. Our hospital stay was this summer.

I have had a Stage 4 metastatic cancer diagnosis since Aug 2015. I have done radiation, strong chemo, and now for the past 7 years immune therapy every 3 weeks for the past 7 years. Last treatment day I got the news that the original tumor has started growing again. I don't understand why surgery was pulled off the table once they had discovered the cancer was already every in my bones. Maybe if they had removed the original tumor I wouldn't be seeing it growing again. I have invasive ductal, HER 2 positive cancer which is very aggressive. The treatments do such damage to us that no one understands! My husband is so tired of this journey with me. He admitted yesterday that for the second time he has signed up on an online dating site looking for a healthy, sexual woman. I am devastated! We who battle cancer did not choose this! I have been a good faithful wife for 46 years! Prayers and virtual hugs for your journey!

Omg :( I'm sorry to hear that. You really inspired me with my very early diagnostic of best cancer HER2-positive in 2019. I saw all your videos and helped me to deal with my chemotherapy and radiation treatments. So, did you was under tamoxifen hormonal therapy ? When they found your cancer back ? How do ypu found it? Do you feel sick or in any pain ? I feel very bad for stopping with the tamoxifen two months ago. Because doctors found some polyps in the endometrial walls. I was so scare to develop endometrial cancer after that beside tamoxifen side effects could cause cancer. I don't know at this point if was a big mistake or not. But I feel that its not good to live with all side effects and the quality of lives its very important. So dealing with gaining weight, hair lost. Vaginal pain during sex. Sadness and not happy to live my live with a anti depression pills...to not look al the struggles tha cancer caused me. I feel scare too for not continuing with the tamoxifen treatment . My case it is just exactly the same like your. So I don't know what going to happen but I can not continue with a treatment with not guarantee that cancer will not return. Because the side effects are dangerous too and emotionally its affect my life , my marriage and my family . I just want to stop breaking in more pices year by year under tamoxifen treatment. If back with cancer its is there again waiting for me in the future I want to enjoy the time before that happens. I wish you with the bottom of my heart that you continue living with all your positive vibes and love for your family and all people around ypu..in special all the women you touch their life with your brighter light. 😘 please keep in touch and continue updating your process and health experience. You are a truly inspiration. Take care ❤ I apologized .. my primary Language is Spanish so I tried my best writing you this message.

[@Playsinthedirt]

@@venusserafico1161 My email address is on my about page. Feel free to contact me. I passed out three times and we didn't know why that was happening. I went to have my very first mammogram because my cats would step on my right boob when I was laying in bed and it gave me great pain. Turns out my right side was just fine but the left side had stage two invasive, triple positive breast cancer. Very aggressive. I went through 3 months of chemo and they shrunk it down to a little tiny lump and my lumpectomy was put off due to COVID hitting. Evidently that was a elective surgery...😄 The tumor tripled in size and attached to my chest wall in the 3 months I was postponed for surgery. It then became stage 4 metastasized breast cancer. The Cancer center told me they couldn't do anything for me and I needed to find a team at a larger hospital in a larger city and that I still would probably not survive. I completely cleaned up my life. My food, my water, and my mind. Stress is a killer. I now filter my water, I stopped eating meat and I eat only organic fresh fruits and vegetables. I've never been as healthy or happy as I am now. I had a lot of down time where I researched the Bible and I was actually visited by the MOST HIGH God. There's no doubt in my mind.

He gave me an appointment for the nuclear bone scan the next day. I'm waiting for the results now and having panic attacks non stop. No one knows how it feels like until you've been there.

Last year I attempted surgery only to be awakened and told I was inoperable. I feel your pain I’m walking in the same ugly shoes! I’m not glad that your here for this but, I will be here this time around. I have managed to be stable the past 9 months without treatment . I’ve only been offered palliative Maintenance chemo , and RN I’m doing metabolic treatment for as long as I can . I’m praying for you ,not only the cancer ,but for your mental health, it’s bad enough you suffered through this once but twice Sheesh really hard pill to swallow. So sad to hear this. Be careful how far you allow your mind to take you, you are here right now that’s all that matters. I get that working and routine help your mental health , but if your spending more time at work or your working outside of there school hours , reconsider , what you have is now, your time is now, you wanna spend all the happy healthy time you have with them. Your going to fight the good fight, you got it!!

Thank you so much xx

Hi Dee, I was diagnosed with Stage 3C, Grade 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma 12/7/2022. This year I had 5 months of chemo, partial mastectomy, and on Monday I finish just over 7 weeks of radiation. I'm on Letrozole, and on 9/12/2023, I start Verzenio due to my surgical pathology- after 5 months of chemo 22 lymph nodes still had active tumor, so I'm considered high risk.

[@DeeDoherty]

Agh! Stick with it, trust the process!

[@swanyjbeautytravelvlog]

I wish they could give us results straight away because the worst is the waiting . I wish you well with your onward treatment.❤

[@proxylass]

Don't despair. I have stage 4 breast cancer, and mine is going to bone as is yours. There are only four places breast cancer goes: brain, liver, lungs, and bone. If it's going to bone, you can live longer. I have been stable (what they call partial remission for stage 4) for eight years now. I realize that could change anytime, but your outlook and taking care of yourself helps. I'm always a bit superstitious/whatever of saying these things. But treatments are so much better than ever. Please know that I wish you well and you are in my thoughts.

[@555jumana]

My mum has terminal breast cancer. Bless you and sending you positive energy ❤

[@flactemnad]

Wow.... So sorry to hear this. After my wife's breast cancer diagnosis your videos were a great help for us in understanding treatments. We have a couple of friends that went stage 4 with similar diagnosis to yours, and they're still doing okay. Thanks for your bravery for posting these videos as they help so many. Wishing you the best!

[@yumyum7080]

Hey there, new sub, came across your channel this morning. My cousins story is similar to yours. She had breast cancer, then chemo, double mastectomy, was NED for many years, she even had two beautiful girls in that time. A little over a year and a half ago she started having some swallowing issues etc, she ultimately found out the cancer came back and she was stage four..she started an oral chemo and a root of some sort I think? It's something natural that she gets from a native American lady where she used to live. Her cancer stabilized, spots were even completely disappearing. I'm not claiming to know which is working exactly, it could be one or it could be both. I do know that her scans started looking so good that the docs allowed more and more time in between scans and told her she could move (she moved closer to family). I have seen the scans myself, she sent them to me, it's just amazing. She is now a full time teacher, raising her sweet girls and just celebrated her 40th bday. I did ask about the root not long ago for someone else and she sent me the lady's name and phone number that sells it..its something like $30 or $40 for a three month supply or something I think? I have no idea if you're open to alternative methods at all and if you're not, that's absolutely fine, no judgment of course, I just decided to comment once I heard a bit of your story and it sounded so much like my cousin. Many well wishes and I'm sorry you're having to go through this again.❤

[@DeeDoherty]

Thank you. I choose to just go with what my oncologist advises. Often times things can interact with the drugs and they aren’t as effective. Even certain vitamins and minerals. But that’s just my way of thinking! But thank you so much, you’re very kind!

[@yumyum7080]

@@DeeDoherty I understand completely, and again, no judgment ever! I pray it all goes well and that healing comes soon for you❣

Thinking of you and your family ❤️ I was diagnosed stage 4 Dec 22 standing alongside you xx

I can tell you are a great teacher! You are very good at explaining how cancer spreads and the process. I wish you success in treatment and am going to keep you in my prayers❤

I’m so sorry that you received this awful news! You’re such an inspiration for some many women who are going through this. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.❤

[@summerbreeze6567]

Oh Dee I'm so sorry to hear this. I was diagnosed with tnbc 2 years ago stage 2. Your videos were so helpful and I wondered how you were doing. So pleased you're in an OK head space to deal with this new diagnosis. Good luck with treatment. If you're able, I'd really like you to continue to update us from time to time. But go with how you feel. You need to look after you and your family

[@collettewillkinson5505]

Dee, your previous diagnosis posts convinced me to get real and face that my tests would come back cancer when I was diagnosed back in 2019. I'm hoping and praying it doesn't come back coz I was in the state you talked about after treatment was over and I finally feel as though that cloud is just beginning to lift. Still don't quite feel I have a purpose but am working on it and have hope. I'll have to see. Seeing this post broke my heart for you but I'm not gonna say the usual crap like you're a 'warrior' and all the BS people say who don't have a clue, so I'll just say this.... do you. X

[@DeeDoherty]

😂 🙌🙌

[@fk7156]

I followed your story in November 2020 and saw you were cancer free and back to work, I was happy for you. Now I just came across your video that cancer is back. This is so sad! In January 2021 I had to do extensive research and find natural ways of healing cancer for a family member. It opened my eyes and not only my family member has healed but I have learned to live so much better. First you need to eliminate all toxic chemicals from your home and replace them with clean or natural products, even hair dyes and makeup, second you need to nourish and support your body with organic fruits and vegetables.

[@micheleallison2633]

I’m so saddened to hear this news. What an incredible role model you have been to so many people. Your videos helped me to be be strong while I went through my breast cancer treatments in 2020-2021. You and your boys are in my thoughts and prayers.

[@slowsteve3497]

You have a gift in explaining things.

[@LaserStarlet]

I was diagnosed a few months after you in 2019, and your videos really helped me cope , especially with young kids. My cancer came back very early on...probably 2021 in which case i started having progressively worse upper back pain . It had completed eaten the vertebrae in my thoracic spine, and at the 25th hour, as i lost sensation in my legs, i was diagnosed stage 4 and went in for spinal surgery in November 2022.Luckily they saved my legs! I still have bone tumors in my back but they are under control with the drug combo (ribociclib, zoledronic acid, fulvestrant)...for now 🙏

[@DeeDoherty]

So sorry to hear this! Sounds like you were in agony! I’m glad it’s under control for now

[@LaserStarlet]

@@DeeDoherty thanks! Indeed, my pain was dismissed and said to be in my head. My family doctor still recommended antidepressants 3 days before I took myself to ER ...

[@DeeDoherty]

@@LaserStarlet😮 Well look how well you looked after yourself! You need to be really proud of that! Maybe get a new family doctor, trust is a big thing! And you probably don’t have much trust in them now!

[@jeremiahcomer]

First time watching but I am praying for a miracle. I have my first scan next week for a concerning lump in my breast. Most men never think about getting checked. It’s also so incredible how cancer rates are skyrocketing 30% by 2030, in young people. I mean what are we exposing our bodies to that we don’t know about?

[@danikris87]

I am sending prayers and love to you and your family. I am so so sorry this is happening to you! Your video really helped me and inspired me while I battled me own breast cancer diagnosis over a year ago. Your new diagnosis has inspired me to continue pushing for a routine scan with my oncologist. Sending hugs ❤

[@sonufam8756]

I'm sorry to hear this, Dee. I pray God gives you the strength to fight. Sending prayers and love ❤️

[@melissabrown3976]

I was diagnosed with stage 2b breast cancer in Dec 2021. I had a DM & have been doing hormone therapy since to stop my estrogen. I literally just text my oncologist today because recently I've started experiencing some pretty intense bone pain in my left hip. He thinks it's just the meds but wants to order a scan & the anxiety is real. I'm so sorry about your recurrence. Praying for a positive bone scan with little to no spread. 💖🙏🏼

[@debb84dw]

You're the strongest person I know. ❤️ ❤❤❤

Oh hon. I was starting my cancer treatment in 2019 and I found your page talking about your experiences and it really helped me through everything. I am so very sorry to see you in my feed with this news. It's not fair, and cancer does not discriminate and I am so mad for you.

I definitely will! ❤

I had to take care of my mother during her treatment 2 years ago. You're videos really gave such a sense of comfort and familiarity with the whole process, it made it less overwhelming when we had to go through everything. Sending you all the support with your treatment again. Just know that we appreciate you so much and are wishing you the best! 🥺

I found your channel a couple of years ago because of a lump i found in my breast it was just a scare!! Iam fine but i stayed and watched your videos because in some strange way i felt like you were my friend and i was rooting for you lol sounds weird but it is true i had subscribed along time ago and would check for any updates on your life i want you to know that you have helped more people than you can imagine and we are all praying and rooting for you in whatever your life brings you we are here for you just like you were for us ❤❤

Thank you so much, this is so sweet ❤ I’m so glad it was a scare… but that scary waiting scanxiety you felt that!! Thank you x

[@cheryl-leegovender5596]

God Bless Your Heart Dearest Dee as you prepare to navigate this new journey ahead of you. You have the spirit of a Champion & inspired so many Breast Warriors by your previous videos. I stumbled upon them in May 2023. I was initially diagnosed with Stage 3 BC (Oestrogen +ve) in 2011. After undergoing a Mastectomy with Reconstruction, 6 Cycles of IV Chemo & 5 Years of Tamoxifen, I went into remission for 12 years. In June 2023, I was definitively diagnosed with Stage IV BC with metastasis of the Lymphatic System. I’ve completed 2 Surgeries, 15 Radiation Treatments, commenced the Zolodex Injections and I am preparing to start the Ribocyclib concurrently with Anastrozole. I too intend working through out my Journey for some sense of structure and routine in life. I’m not sure when or how my story will end but I choose to live it on my terms. I am praying for You Dee together with every BC soldier out there…You Will Never Walk Alone ❤️

[@DeeDoherty]

We’re twins right now! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. I’m glad we are on the same page, feeling the same way about it ❤
