You’re an INSPIRATION! As an ex radiographer you’re right to push for the imaging that you need and I’m hugely disappointed (but sadly not surprised) at the attitude of some of your care team. I’m so happy to be out of that environment. I just adore your honesty and love for your family, it’s made me think about my own life going forward. Thank you so much.

Hi there, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have taken a wee break. Thank you so much Sarah. ❤️❤️

[@debwlv]

Ang, thank you for the update…. You do whatever you need to do to be well and happy, please. I will be here whenever you post a video, no worries! I have told you this before but it bares repeating….my youngest sister was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer TEN YEARS AGO, and she is alive and well and has remained cancer free. I know her chances could not have been very good but ultimately, the numbers didn’t matter….. she beat the odds …. You have surely seen that the medical community is not perfect and doesn’t know everything…..best of luck to you, take care of yourself and I look forward to your videos.

Sending hugs Ange. Some medical professionals, irrespective of how good they are at their job, are just no good with a human touch. That was a terrible way to deliver those statistics to you. Absolutely horrible. I'm so happy to see you. It's always a joy. And it's great to see you getting your energy back and getting back to enjoying life. In a sense I'm in a similar space there. After 9 years of excruciating back pain and 2 physios giving up on me - one refused to deal with me at all and the other gave up after the 2nd session - I found a wonderful physio online and because the back injury stemmed from a violent personal assault, there's a lot of emotional and psychological issues too. The same week I found the physio I found an amazing therapist as well. The two of them together have lifted so much pain from my body. I actually got in and out of the bath pain free for the first time in 9 years. For the first time in 9 years I could actually enjoy a bath instead of worrying if I'd fall getting in or out. I'm only 52. I sound like I'm older saying stuff like that. Simple things like the joy in taking a bath again. I can go for longer walks. I too am looking forward to being a fun mum again now that I'm rid of so much pain and tension. It's an awesome space to be in. Enjoy. And here's to years and years of it ahead for us all.

[@angelastuartbeauty]

Hi there, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have taken a wee break. Oh wow, 9 years!!!!! Damn I’m struggling with 6 months! I am so pleased you found someone who can treat you - such a traumatic experience for you my heart goes out to you. Yay let’s be fun mums!! I had a couple of opportunities to surprise my kids this holiday with a couple of spontaneous fun activities. I have enjoyed their happiness ❤️❤️ paying for a couple of them today but having a rest day hobbling around 🤣. Take care x

[@bluecurlygirl]

@@angelastuartbeauty Don't apologise for taking a break. So glad you've had a good holiday. We've had a great one too. Another day or two left before things start returning to normal. Enjoy it girl.

[@ellengarbsch3174]

I had a similar journey and can understand much of what you discussed. It has been 9 years (remission) for me but not a day goes by that I don't worry to some degree about a recurrence. And the weeks leading up to my annual mammogram are very anxiety-filled. I applaud your plans and pray you will be healthy going forward.

[@angelastuartbeauty]

Hi there, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have taken a wee break. Thank you so much Ellen. It’s somewhat reassuring that we all feel that anxiety although I wish we didn’t live in that fear. I wish you many many more years of remission 🥰

[@anniemcdonald1822]

Wow, you have been through the wringer. I am amazed you have been able to do this while going through your cancer journey. You are inspirational and so brave to share you story. As someone recently diagnosed with oc , had surgery and just starting chemo you have made journey easier already and fun with your beauty videos. I write a blog and have found working part time and life admin is just manageable. I am 58 and we have grown up children and grandchildren in Christchurch about four hours from us and I am keeping my fingers crossed you get to see your children with partners and grandies , its such a cool stage to see your kids with kids . Great decision to have some down time, enjoy, rest and recover and look forward to seeing some more videos in the new year. Take care x

[@angelastuartbeauty]

Hi Annie, thank you for sharing and thank you for your kind wishes. Yes I am hoping I get to see my family expand and enjoy their lives. We are in Christchurch too. We are so similar in age as well. I hope your journey goes smoothly and get to the other side without being too beaten up. Sorry for the late reply. Have enjoyed 2 weeks unplugged in Totaranui. Blissful after a tough year. Take care ❤️

[@leahm3303]

Thank you for the update, Ang; I’m glad to see you feeling more like yourself. Yes, definitely take time for yourself! Family, the beauty of the day, personal life enjoyment; yes, take care of yourself and enjoy your days. I’m still going to be here when you decide to return. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I know I can speak for others when I say that you are very special and loved by us. Take care of yourself and keep your smile!

[@lisanutini5183]

Ange, I'm not going anywhere! You are simply amazing. Now if Id been given the news you'd been given I'd definitely have felt a gut punch. But just remember, as I mentioned before, statistics are not predictions. My sister is going on' 20 years after surgery, radiation, chemo, and hormone treatments for breast cancer. I've survived 3 bouts of lung cancer and here I am kicking. And yes after every scan I get a little anxiety in the background but I know full well the benefits of checking as opposed to pretending there's no need to check. I dream of having a full body PET scan every year LOL. I know the feeling. Take care and I know you'll be back when you're ready. xxxoooxxx

Hi Angela ❤ I can’t even imagine what a tough, emotional and overwhelming year you have had both, physically and emotionally. After experiences both for myself and with my Mum, doctors are definitely not gods and they need to be questioned and all options need to be explored and the time to digest and think about it so the right decision can be made. You’ve done well pre-filming so many videos….it’s a lot of work!! Sounds like you will have a great time over this Christmas and Holiday period with your family 🥰

[@kathleenbrown6734]

are you or have you had immunotherapy? a lady is stage 4 lung cAncer and was put on this and she got a clean bill of health for awhile and now she is doing clinical trial and its really working. 30 years old two small children. Breaks my heart. It seems your doctor is not a sensitive guy and instead of leaving full of resolve and strength to push your body into super health. My gp did this after a yearly visit and I just felt hopeless and depressed for a week or more. Just blown away and wondering why do doctors have to be so blunt and hopeless. I feel so understanding of your pain and so sad they took away your feeling of new life. Don't let them do it! this is your life and you decide your fate! Go for what you want and have fun.

[@angelastuartbeauty]

Hi Kathleen, my apologies for the long delay in getting back to you - I had a bit of a break. No not immunotherapy this is used I believe for Her2 positive breast cancer and mine was estrogen and progesterone positive so a different treatment. Yes, this news and the way it was delivered definitely played on my mind way longer than it should have. I have definitely have had to change my mindset and look to all the positive things I have to look forward to.

[@kathleenbrown6734]

I am glad your trying because from the outside you have a great looking life. I should be so lucky. I know the feelings and know how hard it is to rally forth. I think docs get abit down themselves then resigned and moving on. My doctor went abit paranoid a d ended up not able to do his job and started to teach in the er. Sad really but we expect so much of them a d they try but they are not immune themselves and that comes into play too. He quit. My doctor did the same thing this year, totally depressed me as if I should have a disease or something new or I am getting old attitude. I can't wait until someone does it to her. I had a great attitude and put one foot in front of the other and pretty soon I smiled and developed hobbies, Thats helped cause I moved away and am here by myself but its going ok. Please take care and know you can do this just exercise, eat healthy and laugh and love. Thinking of you always hoping and having faith for you. Xmas is coming but first Sumner!!!!

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Ange unfortunately some of the best Doctors have a terrible bedside manner. I would rather they were a great surgeon etc than being pleasant, but it's still difficult when they suck at breaking bad news. When I was nursing they always had a nurse there too, to offset some of the quick impersonal delivery of that news. Predictions are not fact and I knew many women who beat the odds and lived another 20 years plus. Also as we get older our risk of most breast cancers does decline, which is why most women without a BC history are no longer offered a mammogram after 70 here in the UK. Pain is very debilitating - this I know as back issues were what curtailed my nursing career. I have severe degeneration from the base of my skull to my hips and chronic/severe sciatica (bone and soft tissue issues). I'm disabled and live on opiates, as I wouldn't be walking without them. They only take the edge off though and a day without pain is a distant memory. I had endometriosis throughout my adult life (which causes a lot of pain), so me and pain are old comrades. There are thousands worse and i know I'm lucky to still be able to look after myself, but pain is very tiring. There is no issue taking time for yourself and no guilt from this direction - you deserve a rest and a holiday of sorts. We'll watch when you decide to post a video, without any pressure to do so on a particular schedule. Going into the new year a look at old favourites is always a good thing - encouraging people to use what they have. I have to be honest and say I'm excited by the pinks and greens in the new ND palette, but it's what I'm getting from Santa and I don't buy many palettes in a year. All those light and mid toned cooler shades, without much depth or warmth will be good on me (although I know it won't suit everyone). Have a wonderful time over the next couple of months and best wishes.

Hi there, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have taken a wee break. Thanks so much Lorraine. I feel for people like yourself that have had to deal with pain daily for such a long time.
