Radiation is actually terrifying! (FAQ) | My Cancer Story

[@cathysmith6956]

So sorry that your cancer came back dear. I wish you all the best. You’re in my prayers.

[@xenogearsx9372]

Trust me I know and I had kemo and radiation and was in 8the grade back then. And still in the back of my mind!! Thx for sharing❤

[@bourjhammoudsy]

Hi Samantha, you are beautiful and your video is very well done. I believe you are almost halfway through radiation, hang in there just a little longer. You got this! Mine was on the left side, but 7 yrs ago they did not make me hold my breath so my lung and heart were in the way of the radiation. So happy they are being so careful with your left side radiation treatment. As always, sending you great big hugs.

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you!!

I remember my first radiation blocking. I was so scared because I had heard so much about chemo and had seen the effects of that, but nothing on radiation. The unknown is sometimes scarier than the reality of it. You got this! Great segment, thanks for sharing.

[@SamanthaL]

True, I heard a lot less about radiation too. I was worried so much about getting through chemo that I kinda forgot about radiation haha

[@JodiW]

Samantha Lynn it’s true they act like radiation is nothing, just a back up to chemo and they don’t really inform enough on it. Then when you go in and find out all the details it kind of hits u in the face!- Arg!

Hi Samantha. What s great video. You are looking fantastic. Your hair is growing so nicely. Mine is a bit patchy ... but I hope it will even out. I think your treatment will be finished soon. Good luck.

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you! It’s still a little patchy but it’s been getting a lot better the past couple weeks

[@BCaware304]

Prayers for you hun. My bilateral is a week from tomorrow (21st). Been watching you and keeping you in my thoughts 😘💕

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you! Hope your surgery goes well

[@BCaware304]

Samantha Lynn thanks hun. 😘

[@francescadaniel6381]

You are so inspirational and strong. The lymph nodes are axillary rather than auxiliary. No big deal. Wishing you the best! ❤🙏

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you!

[@chungnguyen398]

Love your smile, sending ❤️❤️❤️ When you have time, can you plz make a video about the medical cost for cancer treatment!

[@hildaaybar9042]

Beautiful kitty 🐱 I used to have a cat 🐈 just like it ,but sadly he died 💔😢 I hope that the treatments work 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️for you ,my friend just finished her radiation she had throat cancer but after 36 treatments of radiation she is cancer free now thank God🙏🏽

[@SamanthaL]

Sorry about your cat :( Congrats to your friend, that’s great news!

[@christopherleubner6633]

I wonder if a consumable brachiotherapy seed would have worked for the affected rib? They can deliver strong doses over time without too much penetration.🤔

[@penniewyatt9391]

I’m scared of how weak I’ll be with chemo and radiation. Where you able to make meals for yourself during treatment? I’ll have to fly for surgery too.

[@SamanthaL]

Chemo will probably be hard but radiation will be a lot easier! People gave me gift cards for meal delivery services and helped make meals and that helped me a lot! You’ll learn which days you feel bad and which days you’ll feel good so maybe you can meal prep on the good days. Hope it goes well!

[@cherylcampbell7495]

I follow Nalie. She has some great info on Mbc. Love your Halloween decorations. Now it’s Christmas 🎄. God bless you and you have a great attitude.💕. Chris beat cancer turned me around on nutrition.

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you! I follow Nalie too :)

[@karendeakin8861]

You are looking well at moment

[@brendawhite1263]

Great information! Thank you.

[@08buddysmom]

My skin looked worse about a week after I finished. I’m about 3 weeks post radiation and I still feel fatigued by the end of the day.

[@SamanthaL]

Hope you start to feel better soon!

[@christinestehley473]

You are so courageous!!! God bless you so much.

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you

[@sheiladilley3863]

I had to get a mask made for my head for throat cancer I will pray for you

[@SamanthaL]

I have seen those! They look kinda cool

[@habib0409]

why all cancer patients are so awesome

[@SamanthaL]

we're the best

[@rajudeylover]

Awesome informative video. Madam how long you take zoladex 3.6 injection.

[@karlaamassey437]

I have breast cancer too. See surgeon tomm. My journey just started. Has anyone ever said if radiation causes lung cancer? Esp if a smoker. That's my concern with it. I'm hoping I can do local inside radiation.

[@SamanthaL]

I would definitely talk to a radiologist about your concerns and maybe they can help you figure out your risk. I hope your treatment goes well!

[@snugglepusshercules1441]

Thank you for answering so many questions i have

[@cindyhorst8316]

Love the Halloween decorations

[@soniakaur5301]

Hi..I am fifty and I found out I have cancer and it hasn't spread to lymph nodes. I had a lunmp which I went in to get checked out but while waiting for my xray I started bleeding from my nipple which was concerning to me so I went back to the doctor and asked her to redo my form for xray and i also got ultrasound. After the ultrasound they said i need to go in for biopsy and maybe mri. They did biopsy and found out where my nipple is that's where my cancer is not the lump area. I will be going in for consultation this Friday October 30, 20 and what would I be expecting at the consultation

[@SamanthaL]

Hope your appointment went well ❤️

[@kassielandvay4137]

Your cat looks super soft.

[@SamanthaL]

She is

[@katieowens5995]

Hi Samantha..

[@agnesmururu1264]

Hi Samantha, what are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer?

[@jules1277]

You are amazing x

[@SamanthaL]

You are

[@joanbaczek2575]

I turned brown and looked like an old leather hand bag

[@SamanthaL]

Lol

[@joanbaczek2575]

If the rib is unnecessary why not just remove it

[@SamanthaL]

There are some ribs that can be removed, but they said there was no way to remove that specific one. Multiple doctors tried to come up with a way, but it’s too dangerous for the spot where the cancer was

[@princessash032587]

I got radiation and a lumpectomy it was bengin she used the radiation as a marker it was all scary... I’m only 32. I was like to my boss can I come to work I have radiation in me 😂. But I’m safe around people pets and babies.... she was testing the entire tumor for cancer.

[@SamanthaL]

Haha. Glad it was benign!

[@habib0409]

can you hug your cat on my behalf
