[@katrinachappell2889]

just wanted to ask did you buy your own wig or was it provided, i just wanted to know as i was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer right side 65 mm or 6 1/2 cm tumor. i had a right side mastectomy on the 22nd august 2017. was told yesterday that i have to have a second operation tuesday to remove the rest of the nodes as the found cancer in the lymph node biopsy. i dont know what happens next yet if i will need radiation or chemotherapy but my breast nurse said probably as im only 40. would be grateful for an answer on the wig as this is the first time i have ask a question about my treatment . love you videos they have helped me a lot watch when i cant sleep at 3am. thanks

[@Clempt90]

You're an inspiration Victoria

[@IHateFriday100]

I wish Victoria all the best with her treatment, cancer touches the majority of families, personally I lost my 42 year old mother to breast cancer at a young age, but I consider her line of reporting as non positive shill like and she should search her soul regarding her role in her profession, I wish you a speedy recovery Victoria Derbyshire.

[@TheAhmedMAhmed]

stay strong. the hard part is finally over.

[@cuba5381]

You actually look very pretty and natural without the eyelashes. I start Chemo next week , after having surgery 4 weeks ago. Like your video's , help's a lot to see your story.

[@jacksugden8190]

My friend has blood cancer undergoing constant chemotherapy, the cancer had effected all is organs, and only 65. He has had various blood transfusions at the MacMillan building in c London, with his body beating it. Sadly has to take lots of tablets, when the treatment ends, will continue taking tablets, or die.

[@PaulCarew-j9j]

More people would feel sorry for this woman if she wasn't such a horrible person, just like her husband.

[@aletheiaarts1664]

No more chemo, absolutely, well done Victoria i hope you feel loads better now. :) I found this article below and i am hoping that with enough pressure people will no longer have to endure what you had to go through. www.sott.net/article/228583-Scientists-cure-cancer-but-no-one-takes-notice

[@bettytekekekle5152]

My god how could you say that to here you evil she is help me when I was diagnosed brest cacer

[@garywiggum4202]

whats wrong with her eye?

[@ariel6572]

+Anon Alex Victoria Antoinette Derbyshire is an English journalist and broadcaster

[@garywiggum4202]

+Tina tina yes i know but if you look closely to the side of her eye there is some sort of mark

[@insanecuckooman8342]

the evil is showing

[@ukpropaganda]

I don't wish her any bad luck, but I get sick of seeing celebs/tv presenters, etc, parading their health problems in public and getting thousands of saddos boo-hoo-ing after them. We ordinary, REAL people JUST GET ON WITH IT.

[@LilHistories]

+ukpropaganda I think this video may be helpful to somebody going through this but as a general principal I agree. Don't get me started on Colleen Nolan. That self-obsessed sod phones the Daily Mirror with a fresh crisis every time she gets a fucking gas bill.

[@ukpropaganda]

+Slugerveldt You are spot on with Coleen No-brain.

[@rosiegiesler4705]

Stop being a Karen. You sound like a bitter, jealous old fart, and people that have cancer don’t just get on with i it’s a journey and ik many people with cancer from many different backgrounds who don’t just get on with it. And unless you know everyone who has cancer you won’t know any different. If you don’t want to watch it don’t watch it and leave your irrelevant comment behind. Do not discriminate on how much sympathy a person can get based on their salary. Cancer effects all of us ik somebody dieing of cancer right now who went to a private school in the middle of Cambridge ik another who has died of throat cancer beginning of this year lived on a small one bedroom house boat. It effects us all.

[@bobs1356]

Boy you are 100% right. I don't care when any of them get sick. I here about that US actress Thelma Blair her MS. They act like because who they are they arnt suppose to get bad illnesses. Now she has to walk with a cane like she 80.
