It never fails to amaze me how people can feel emboldened to criticize people when they are in a vulnerable position. And criticize you for what? Sharing what's going on in your life on your OWN channel? THAT is what is bizarre - not that you're concerned about losing your hair (who wouldn't have at least some degree of concern about that?- I would as well because I really love my hair). Please ignore people like this. I guarantee it's an extreme minority who have this sort of narrow-minded, ignorant, unsympathetic view. Keep showing up as you - that's certainly what makes me want to keep following you. 💛

Well said. I totally agree. People can be so cruel. If they haven’t got anything nice to say then keep it shut. Those of us that are here care and appreciate you Amanda xx

Your pup is such a lovebug. He seems so concerned and wants to love on you. Such a treasure 🧡 Praying that all goes well 🙏🏾

As someone who is about to go through chemo, I appreciate you talking about the experience.

I for one would like to thank you for your courage and bravery in putting your journey out there for everyone. Your words are so courageous and so truthful. I am 18 months into the cancer journey and you give me such determination that this too shall pass. Keep on being you. We love you. ❤️

so sorry that former subscriber said some very hurtful and inappropriate things. The rest of us, no doubt, want to support you in any way that will help you. Besides, your videos are and will help others who are touched by cancer in addition to helping yourself. I follow several vloggers dealing with medical issues and you have all help me and my loved ones. Thank you for your honest videos. And please know, through your video, i now know to ask for cold cap therapy for my nearly waist long hair if i develop another cancer that requires chemo.

Please know how much others like me appreciate your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. The biggest thing that I take away from your videos is how to care for the people in my life and my community. I am really grateful for your vulnerability and your sharing, despite the pain you're feeling. Immensely grateful for your perspective.

Forget the miserable haters. Girl you are brave, you are strong, and honestly sharing your story helps others prepare and not feel alone in their journey. I appreciate you letting us in and also hoping you are finding comfort in talking with us in sharing your experience. Gentle hugs, you are a warrior

Be yourself and ignore those haters. I pray you are having some good moments in your day.

You are developing a community of people who understand and along the way you will run into judgmental people who have no idea what the treatment of cancer is like and who don’t have empathy or the experience to formulate and intelligent opinion. Thank you for your honesty and I am so sorry that the pain and uncomfortableness of cancer is upon you. Keep fighting and talking. You are helping people and your self more importantly, by your candor❣️

By sharing this road and season you’re in, you’re helping those going through the same treatment. Your dog is precious and wants to comfort you. Praying and sending good vibes your way! 🌺🌺🌺🌺

Please don't listen to those negative people. It's your journey and things that are important to one person it's not necessarily important to another. There is not a right or wrong. Hugs from Norway ❤ thanks for bringing us along on this chapter of your life ❤

My husband has stage 4 cancer. Everyone needs to do what they need to to find peace, strength and comfort. Thank you for bravely sharing your journey. You are making a difference in peoples lives. My prayers are with you. Ignore the nasty folk out there, its says more about their sad lives.

I went through chemo and immunotherapy for breast cancer, 3 years ago. I was warned about the neuropathy in hands and feet. I am a knitter and knit almost daily. I was so worried I would lose my ability to knit. That scared me more than hair loss! I used ice packs on my hands and feet. Would put them on 15 minutes before taxol, all through the taxol, and 15 minutes after. I have had no neuropathy. Also one of the chemo nurses was also into holistic medicine and recommended alpha lipoic acid. I am still taking 300 mg day and night! I did lose my hair after the 3rd chemo, but rocked the bald with big earrings and colorful scarves! My hair slowly came back healthier than ever. Take good care….❤

Thank you for sharing that. I too was more concerned about the potential neuropathy than the hair. Being able to knit & my other handcrafts are important for my sanity & creativity, as well as writing/typing for work. I’ve got my cryotherapy mitts & socks ready & start my first chemo this week. Fingers crossed 🤞

As a cancer survivor it really helps me to hear others’ stories and I also feel empowered to support them through my experience. It’s community and I think a beautiful thing. I felt for you during the cold cap situating. I also wonder if the pain you’re feeling is the chemo working. I felt pain as well and my tumors were palpable so I could feel them shrinking along w the pain. Maybe you can visualize your cancer shrinking when your feel it hurting so. Love to you. 💕

You go girl!!! 1st time is the hardest, with anything. 💜

Thank you for sharing as it is helping so many of us.

Praying for you!🙏🏻❤️

Sending prayers and I'm So Proud of You ❤

You are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏 You've got this!!

🙏Pray for the uninformed! This is one of these situations that until you have had cancer they just don’t know and do not understand. We have the right to choose what we watch and listen to and just know people should be grateful we still have the ability to do so. I appreciate what you are doing and I know that you are helping people to understand what happens with cancer treatments and having You Tube to be able educate people who want to know what happens-really is so wonderful. Your postings are tasteful and well done. I applaud you for your courage to do this. Thank You!!!🙏❤

Thanks for sharing your journey . Hopefully the cold cap works at keeping your beautiful hair . I think it's great if you want to try and keep your hair in this already extremely hard time , why not . I hope you are doing good today .🎈

Agree totally with what you are saying about your experience, very brave xxx

I really needed this. Thanks.

The majority people would come to see you because we are going through similar things. Somebody has never had cancer has zero ZERO say and what you should do or how you should feel when you have cancer and are going through this absolute nightmare. So frustrating but please don't let that ever hinder anything you do

Keep sharing your stories and experiences! We are all so proud of you.

Hang in there Amanda. I am cheering you on!

Your Dog is so sweet and Dogs know your moods they pick up on everything, he be your snuggle bug ❤️

Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your experience. I am supporting a dear friend who started chemotherapy last week. Your honesty is helping me to become more supportive, practically and emotionally. I wish you healing, prayers and please know you are a warrior. I appreciate you ❤

Hugs to Michael Looks kind and cheerful 😊

I have such respect for your honesty and courage. Love your babies too.

Amanda, I think you’re absolutely wonderful (((hugs))). It amazes me how you share so openly because it’s a totally terrible time in your life, but it can happen to any of us! Personally, I’m high risk for the same cancer as you so I’m truly grateful for you. Thank you! Take no note of toxic, unfriendly people - too much time on their hands to be so cruel imho. I’m praying you don’t lose your beautiful hair, but I’m so sorry you’re going through the nasty treatments. They’re necessary but certainly not pleasant. Love Jez x ❤💐💐❤️

Amanda, When I went through chemotherapy for Non-hodgkin's lymphoma I was, like you, somewhat nervous not knowing what to expect. But I thought to myself that so many people before me have gone through this so I knew I could do it too. It wasn't easy but I did it. Right now, six months after finishing my regiment, I am in remission. Hang in there. It can be a tough road but I see you as being one tough individual.

@timmcvicker5775 I have Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma having been officially diagnosed with it on October 14, 2022 with an open surgical biopsy. The results showed mine is Nodal Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma primary in the lymph nodes a rare type indolent/slowing kind. The sad thing with me is on April 27, 2022 my younger brother passed away. He had chest and left arm pain, apparently signs of a heart attack. He was stabilized, but took a turn for the worse when he suddenly started coughing up blood. They did everything to save his life but the blood flow was too much and he simply choked and suffocated on his own blood. He was 57, leaving behind his wife from who he was separated and three adult children...two sons and a daughter. A year and a half before his passing, he was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma of the throat and tongue. That type of cancer is associated with the HPV(Human Papiloma Virus) which he acquired in his teens from an infected partner. There are several varieties of the HPV Virus, but ONLY two become cancer...number 16 and 18. I don't know which of these he had. His diagnosis came about after a misdiagnosis of acid reflux associated with a heart medication he was taking due to having a stent inserted after a cardiac event in May of 2020 and his cancer diagnosis came in April of 2021. he then started on both chemo infusion and radiation therapy. His speech was affected, but with speech pathology, he got his speech/speaking back. He was entering remission after a rigorous course of treatment when sadly after taking the covid-19 vax, he suffered a life threatening crisis in which he was hospitalized for SEPSIS, UTI and a fever of 103. He was given strong antibiotics to combat that life threatening crisis. Then, several weeks later, he took a covid booster and this time it landed him in the hospital with a far worse medical crisis in which he was placed in a medically induced coma. He recovered from that event until his sudden and unexpected passing on April 27, 2022. That said, I will be starting back-to-back chemo infusion this Thursday September 21 and Friday September 22, 2023. You had chemo for your treatment. On Thursday, I'm expected to be at the Cancer Center(NYU-Langone/Perlmutter) for about 6 hours and on Friday, 1 and a 1/2 hours. What was your treatment like as someone with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma? I'm asking because I'm quite nervous about this impending treatment. (Cecilia Rivera, from Brooklyn, NY).

Keep posting Amanda and we will keep supporting you with good vibes. You need the comfort of good comments of encouragement and love right now. You are strong and will get through this! ❤️

Please DO NOT let the HATERS HATE BLOCK THEM‼️‼️‼️Your amazing and STRONG 💪🏻!!!!

Stopping by to see how you are doing after chemo. Sending prayers of healing!! 🙏❤

One thing I found out through my breast cancer journey is that people who haven't gone through it will not understand. I went through 90% of my appointments, testing and treatments by myself. It was during Covid and no one was allowed in. Thank you for doing this. I have learned a lot from these vlogs and if one of us can help you with our thoughts and prayers etc it is worth while. Hugs to you. ❤✌🌹

Keep on sharing your daily routine as you navigate through this process! Yes!! You are helping people. You‘ve helped me. I was diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma in Nov and surgery took place in Dec. Chemo & radiation were on the table as adjuvant treatment options for me but it turned out -after some genetic testing - that my tumor was a pole ultramutated so any adjuvant treatment is required. Losing my long curly hair was one of my most terrifying fear as well. Thank you Amanda and tons of love from Spain! You can do this 💪🏻❤

This is so helpful to me to see what I am expecting for my loved one. I have to educate myself and the best way to do this, is by listening to all of you and your stories of not just triumph and your struggles.

My dear Amanda i feel your pain loosing hair is a trauma for so many including myself as i went through it. The sad part is people can not respect our differences and have love and compassion for one another, specially foe the one going through so much. I love you dear one and feel your pain. From someone who has been through many years of physical mental emotional pain and stage 4 cancer. You are precious snd perfect just as you are. Sending you so much love ❤

Your courage in sharing your story is incredible. Also, if I had hair as amazing as yours I'd be hesitant to lose it too! It's a healthy thing to acknowledge parts of our physical bodies that we love! So many people benefit from hearing your story- including me, a nurse who cares for people with cancer and a loved one of a close friend with cancer. I understand my patients and my loved ones better from hearing stories like yours and I am extremely grateful to you for sharing.

Sending you lots of prayers and strength to get through the rough days ahead. Ignore all the negativity…some people are just mean and you certainly don’t need them following you…YOU got this!💪❤

Well said! 👏🥰💕💕💕 I am sorry you have to go through this, and then deal with people 😜🤪 please don’t pay attention to them. Focus on your battle with cancer. 💪 your hair is beautiful, I can understand. It will grow back if you do lose it, but it’s perfectly normal to grieve it. You rock those cute beanies girl ☺️

Thank you for sharing your frustrations, vulnerabilities and eagerness to create. You are fabulous. Pay no mind to the negative comments. Take value in this video journal.

Thanks for sharing my chemo also start soon

I like how you share, no women wants to lose their hair, it’s totally understandable. I’m going through a cancer journey with my husband and I lost my sister to cancer and the loss of her hair was very upsetting, nobody understands unless you have been there.

Hi Amanda, I’m glad you got through your first treatment well. My advice is to not think that it will get worse. Everyone’s experience is different. My experience stayed the same throughout my chemo. I was lucky to have tolerated it well (I had Taxol and Carboplatin). I just took it one infusion at a time. That helped a lot.

It’s your cancer , your journey and anything that helps you feel control ( hair, makeup, whatever!) in a situation you can’t control you should do! People need to have compassion. We LEARN from each other. Don’t hide it away. Thank you for sharing ! ❤️

I agree with you, Amanda. I am so proud of you. I've been where you are with cancer and chemo. It is so hard, depressing, devastating, terrifying, and horrifying 😢💔 You have every right and reason to share your feelings. You're strong! You will get through this!❤

You are brave and strong to share your journey , the good and the bad….block anyone that has negative comments as it’s not good for your well-being to feel bad about some stupid comment. Stay focused on healing and sending you all positive thoughts 💫.

Amanda you are doing a great service by videoing your treatment and reactions. Chemo is very very scary especially the first few infusions. Toxic drugs are being pumped into your body and it’s freaky to think that these poisons will kill cancer but the process is far from easy.lt’s great that you have family support and your pets of course. Your pooch is so adorable. I hope your abdominal and back pain subside. ❤❤❤

I have been an admirer since your video about not pooping in my house, (or something like that). You are a straight shooter with talent, moxie, & beauty to boot. Kick those trolls to the curb while you kick cancer. Much love, prayers & good vibes to you!

Seems you have an incredible support group on your channel. I for one find you very courageous in sharing your life. When people write such negative comments it says more about them then you. Be glad they're gone.

Praying for you, keep going, it’s hard, but……… I do believe that your best days still a head.

Annd, YOU GO girl 🙌 you DO YOU !. Some people just didn’t attend the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Others 101 class 🤷‍♀️
