Stage 4 Breast Cancer: Scan Results, Supplements and Treatment Plan

[@mollymac8678]

I’m glad to see you’re doing well Dee you have a fabulously cheeky glint in your eyes that’ll stand you in good stead..Fluffy and Vee are beyond help I’m afraid we rescued them once from the cult but they returned..🤷🏻‍♀️

[@karengargi4074]

Glad to hear no changes you’ve helped me on my breast cancer journey ❤

[@DeeDoherty]

@@karengargi4074 thanks so much Karen, I hope you’re coping well

[@jefletch2365]

Congrats on the clear scans! FYI - Mg citrate can cause diarrhea, so Mg glycinate or a Triple Magnesium complex work just as well without that side effect

[@DeeDoherty]

@@jefletch2365 thanks! Thankfully I dont have that issue but good for others to know!!!

My sister had breast cancer so I googled about cancer a couple of years ago and I have to be careful too, because of very dense tissues. I got stuck at Tiffany’s channel which turned out to be not a good idea 🙈 I think that’s the one you are talking about. But the conversation with those who see through her is refreshing. It’s good to know that there are people who are genuine and don’t fall for greeders. And it’s informative, I learned a lot and I googled 😅 if I didn’t understand. I will follow you too, I hope it helps your channel.

[@DeeDoherty]

@@D77711 thanks D! I hope your sister is ok? Yeah the dense breasts come up on mammograms the same colour as cancer 🫣 And yes, Tiffany is one of those that I was talking about. Dodging questions about treatment and the details of her cancer is 🚨

[@D77711]

@@DeeDoherty exactly… in my case cancer can be overseen easily. My sister is doing good fortunately. She is now 5 years after her surgery/chemo/radiation. She was I think stage 2 or 3… but had cells in her lymphs. All the best to you 🤗

[@DeeDoherty]

@@D77711I hope she stays all clear and is living life to the fullest ❤

[@steppincloser]

I have awful restless leg issues - where it's painful and my legs ache so bad I have to stretch them. I've been on gabapentin, but would rather not so I've been weaning off it - but I've found that Iron supplements (even though I'm within normal iron ranges) and topical MagniLife Relaxing Leg Cream PM has been a major game changer. The cream doesn't leave a sticky or heavy residue, it dries quickly and helps relax the legs 🙂 Been following you since the beginning and so glad to hear no changes on the scans! 💞

[@DeeDoherty]

@@steppincloser ahhh thank you my lovely!!! Thanks for all the tips too! I’m not familiar with Gabapentin at all?

[@steppincloser]

@@DeeDoherty It's a prescription nerve blocker that many people are prescribed for various nerve pain issues & even seizures. I've not always heard the best things about it - so being on it long-term makes me nervous. I was prescribed it originally when I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia but it just turned out to be really bad restless leg syndrome. 🙂 Hope you figure out something soon so you can get some rest!

Prayers for you, my friend!

Encouraging news! I am a hodgkin’s survivor, but like you said, I couldn’t find any super helpful videos at the time I had treatment specifically for Hodgkin’s. KZbin recommended your videos to me and I had the “red devil” as one of my chemo drugs. Your videos were immensely helpful for how to cope with side effects. ❤

[@DeeDoherty]

@@juliewright2795 yeah it’s so difficult sifting through videos trying to find the specific thing you’re looking for! The Red Devil, you poor thing! The worst of them all - horrendous! I hope you managed to find “lymphomies” online to chat it out with 🥺 and I hope you’re well now! Thanks so much for that lovely comment, I am DELIGHTED it was relevant and helpful to you 🫂

[@juliewright2795]

@@DeeDoherty I have been in remission for 3 years now 😊 It was brutal, but my church family helped so much and I relied heavily on my faith. I keep you in my prayers! 🙏 (I enjoyed your Disney vlog! My two teenagers and I took a celebration trip to Disney World last year and it was amazing, so fun after such a hard road 😊)

[@juliewright2795]

@DeeDoherty Oh….and I ended up finding two channels with my specific lymphoma, but they were both in their early 20s. I was 39 at the time. They were vlogging themselves going on bike rides and light workouts and getting coffee in between treatments. I was like “yeah, can’t get out of bed, would love a feeding tube because no thank you to any food” we were not the same! 😂😂

@@juliewright2795 ha yes that’s the other thing, finding someone you can relate to 🫣

[@margiemckenna8200]

Just a thought dee,could you write those questions you have down and ask your consultant or nurse maybe the next time you are in,maybe they be able to help you answeer some of them.No change is good dee,and you still are looking great by the way,love your positive attitude and chirpy personality,❤😊

[@DeeDoherty]

@@margiemckenna8200 thanks so much margie! I absolutely do that, definitely think everyone should. I suppose what I mean by questions are the ones they can’t answer because they haven’t been on the medication, if you get me? Just one of the most simple things would be seeing when people’s hair stopped thinning if at all, just experiential things. I absolutely wouldn’t be relying on other videos for medical advice nor would I expect or want people to be doing that with me. But you’re right. 100%

[@margiemckenna8200]

Yes I totally get it Dee,I understand,great idea you have keeping the folder with all your info results in it,you can know at a glance whether anything has changed or stayed the same. 👍

[@i_love_rescue_animals]

Just be aware that magnesium citrate can give you diarrhea. I took it as just a supplement (for a few, good reasons) and after being on it for a month (just one pill a day), I got very loose stools that I couldn't figure out - then when I was about to do a bunch of tests at the doctor's, I remembered this supplement. I stopped taking it and a week (yes, a week) later, my gut was fine. Doesn't happen to everyone - but it is common.

[@DeeDoherty]

@@i_love_rescue_animals thanks so much for sharing! Do you know what 4 days after starting it I had the 💩 for 1 day and I thought it was anxiety. So, it COULD have been this, I’m completely normal again now and still taking it. But good for anyone else to know!! 🫣 Hurray for poop chats!

[@i_love_rescue_animals]

@@DeeDoherty Ok, well, mine didn't stop. So, it could have been something else and you aren't affected by the magnesium citrate - but if it comes back and stays, try stopping this (give it at least a week for things to straighten out) and see. Hopefully,, it won't be an issue. Yes, ha! Such a pleasant conversation! 💩 Poo chats! 😆

[@tracykeller2361]

OMG - can totally relate to the legs. I have the same thing. I currently have gabapentin and that helps most of the time. Biofreeze and Vicks vapor rub helped for a time - but then stopped working. I just started letrozole this week. I’m weak ER+ so I didn’t start right after chemo. Not looking forward to the side effects. Appreciate you! ❤

[@DeeDoherty]

Best of luck with it! Hopefully side effects are mild 🤞 HOPEFULLY! 😅
