Thank you Marina for the last part about i just know you can get thru it because you did it twice and your mom did it three times and dont live in the fear of it.

[@andreacastillo331]

Marina, your videos bring me so much happiness and hope. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March and I have a 7 month old baby. Thank you for all your help, guidance, positivity and overall strength you provide by doing these videos. 🙏🏼

[@MarinaBlackford]

Thank you! I pray you heal! ❤️

[@aalisshamon4186]

Hi Andrea i am also.... and i have 7 months old baby boy

[@amya9597]

Thanks for your tips! ❤️ One of my favorite products was organic cold pressed castor oil for my eyebrows and eyelashes to use before, during, and after chemo. Kept all my lashes and only lost a few hairs out of my brows. I also used tea tree nail polish strengthener by Jason to help keep my fingernails and toenails strong and from discoloring from chemo treatments!

[@MarinaBlackford]

Great advice! Thank you ❤️

Just began the journey. Thank you for sharing your experience and positive energy. I will make it through!!

[@MarinaBlackford]

Yes you will! Be well!

[@dianemarshall8063]

Marina your tips and the products you suggested have helped me manage this journey. I have stage 3 ovarian cancer and have been thru 6 rounds chemo and now another 3 cycles of another drug. I came out of this with just a wee bit nerourapthy in my small toe. I believe this is due to my faithfully using the ice gloves and slippers! Bless you for sharing. P.s. got some crazy chemo hair coming back. Lol

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi Diane! I’m so glad to hear it’s all helped! Here’s to chemo hair coming in! Thank you for being here! ❤️

[@abd4175]

Thanks for sharing I’ve completely changed my diet all clean eating a big thanks to you Marina. I actually feel great. Expect in progress of hair loss..I know it just a bump in the road.. treatment is tough But we are all TOUGHER

[@MarinaBlackford]

I love hearing this! We just view food as a medicine. I love some treats sometimes but we need to get food nutrients in our body. I hope you continue to make changes and feel well!

[@sandrachavez8916]

Going through it and God Willing I’ll be Cancer free one Day Just Like you Marina I admire your strength and wonder where you get it from ?

[@MarinaBlackford]

I pray you will be cancer free too! Thank you! That’s a good question about my strength. I feel a strong connection to my intuition and that gives me hope and faith to continue on a path or change it. Life is always sending you signals if you pay attention. I try to be open to learning and growing constantly. We all have the potential to do a little better for ourself or others. Be well!

I have a special pillows with the washable pillows cases for sleeping after surgery. With out them I would not survive 😉I can give them for free to someone, they cost $60 but you need to pay for the shipping or pick up, Indiana area.

[@annetterowland1073]

Thank you so much for all the videos! You are an inspiration to all of us on this journey!! One question: Did you have to have any lymph nodes removed during surgery?

[@MarinaBlackford]

Thank you! I had a few lymph nodes removed from each side after double mastectomy and one removed after lumpectomy.

[@MissRubySFO]

I ended up putting the ice gloves on my feet and the feet socks on my hands the cold was too much for my fingertips!

[@MarinaBlackford]

That’s a great idea! I agree that the ice gloves are very cold! I had to ease into using them for the 2 hours.

[@MissRubySFO]

@@MarinaBlackford l still have Neuropathy…. I just hope it goes away

[@gygi3490]

What are your thoughts on Fenbenazole?

[@MarinaBlackford]

I have no experience with that. My understanding is it’s not approved for humans though.

[@sandralarzelere6828]

Marina Thank you sharing your journey and the wonderful tips. Can you share what shampoo you use I’m 6 months post chemo I have been using baby shampoo but think it’s time to progress to regular shampoo. FYI I love the hair exfoliate you recommended.

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi! You’re welcome! I use something very similar to this shampoo. It’s gentle and sulfate free. amzn.to/3nSZ81D

Thank you! ❤️

[@desertnymph2968]

I was told fasting for a few hours before, during, and after treatments help reduce side effects. What are your thoughts on that? ❤️

[@MarinaBlackford]

I think this depends on the person. Try fasting or try a light meal before. You’ll have to see how you feel.

[@desertnymph2968]

@@MarinaBlackford I fasted for quite a few hours before since mine was at 7 am.. and I snacked during and only ate what I wanted after. Which wasn’t much. It was a crazy day! I’ll definitely try working out more on infusion day and before to see if it helps my leg pain for next time.

[@yvonnebenitez114]

I have a question, the cool gloves for preventing neuropathy, do you use it during the six hours the chemo lasts ? Or do you use in intervals of 20 min each hour?

[@MarinaBlackford]

Chemo for me was one hour for each infusion so 2 hours in the chemo chair (not the hour before of premeds or the blood draw and labs). So I would wear them the whole time but I would ease into the ice gloves. I would start on the outside of the glove with my hand on it then start to put my hand in them. It’s very cold but will help prevent neuropathy.

[@dmm.7185]

Hi Marina just watched your Video what to bring for Chemo Treatment, I just ordered the Cold Socks, Cold Gloves I start my Treatment July 11th 2022 what kind of pink mask did you use?

[@MarinaBlackford]

Good! I know the cold therapy will help. I used an eye mask to cover my eyes for rest. You could even roll a small towel and put that over your eyes to block light so you can rest.

[@dmm.7185]

@@MarinaBlackford Thank You

[@Zisjejk]

my sister is getting chemo . thanks this helps ! me get ideas for u . can i ask u is it safe to use baking soda to whiten teeth ? my teeth are sensitive what do u suggest ? thank u

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi! I pray she heals. Baking soda removes stain. Hydrogen peroxide whitens. Use both gently. Have a dentist check yearly.

[@phyllisprovo7916]

Marina, I am newly diagnosed with breast cancer, have just had two chemo treatments, so am still a newbie at all of this. Thank you for your videos and tips. I am starting to lose my hair and would like to hear from you...and others...how you came to terms with the loss, and what you did to deal with it. I don't like the idea of wigs, but don't know how I will feel about going without. I am looking at videos about tying scarves, looking at caps and hats, etc., but am a bit overwhelmed with it all right now. Any suggestions anyone can make would be appreciated.

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi, thank you for being here! I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Losing the hair is a big part of the journey. I think you said it well, how do you deal with the loss? It is just that; a loss. I would select a scarf and a head wrap that look comfortable and pretty to you. I think it’s important to have those ready. Wigs are great option if you want to do that. I would suggest going to a wig shop first to try some on if you can. To be honest, you don’t know how you’re going to feel until it’s all gone. And I think we all need to feel those emotions when we’re there. That’s the only way to get through that part of the journey. Take it one day at a time as hard as it may seem. I’d love to hear back from you to see how you’re doing. ❤️
