    You are such a beautiful and brave woman. ❤ Keep on going ❤ You remind me of me when I was 18 with a limfoma.. doctors wanted me to STOP living but I refused and continued to play tennis, to study, to go out with friends... and they were suprised by the quick positive results I got.. So, I understand you and wish you all the best ❤

    I thought it was just the UK on a go-slow with the NHS being so underfunded, but I'm surprised it's this bad in the USA when you pay for everything you have done, or at least health insurance if you can afford it...why is everything so lax?

    My daughter had cancer at the age of 17. She had a blood cancer with no symptoms aside from a couple swollen lymph nodes and a bump on her head. One thing I learned is that every cancer journey is unique and everyone reacts to it differently. My daughter is still in remission after 1 year in hospital and two more years of outpatient chemo over q5 years ago. It was an excruciating experience that I do not wish on anyone. I am glad that you are doing well and I hope your remission continues well into old age.

    I am so glad you said you labs were perfect. As I have literally started 3 years ago with one swollen lymphnode, 2nd year I went back to doctor over issues and had two swollen lymphnodes, and this year I have';t went back but I seem to maybe now have 4 swollen lymphnodes in my neck. All my bloodwork is normal, but my fatigue level can be rediculous. Mind you none of them NEVER went away even with anitbiotics. I am so frusterated I wish they would just cut it one out and test it as to why they aren't going away!?

    I had bleeding in stools luckily it was hemmorhoids, but no doctor told me to do a stool sample or get a colonoscapy for years, i had the bleeding for years and i saw maybe 3 drs and each just did a recal examination abd that was it Eventually one did recommend a colonoscapy where they found mild hemmorhoids so im fine but glad it was confirmed to be that

    I’m completely blown away that after 27 rounds of chemo, you’re alive and well. I’m suffering with eczema and similar symptoms you had, and if I have painful skin rash that you had, I’d wonder why I’d keep going. Waiting for doctors’ appts and lab tests takes months.

    Why are there so many chemists, doctors, clinics, hospitals, hospices etc etc why are to many people sick these days ? It can only be what we are putting into ourr bodies... junk food, medicines, fluoride (water) Creams, lotions deodorants, aerosol fragrances. Lack of exercise and sunlight and to much stress/anxiety & fear, any biological organism under those circumstances would get sick.

    Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear you're doing well. My story is similar to many in the comments - triple positive diagnosed the day of lockdown in 2020 because I had a rash and wanted to rule out inflammatory breast cancer. Within 2 weeks I had my port in and became a certified patient at Dana Farber in Boston. I had a lumpectomy with a sentinel node biopsy followed by radiation. Disease free after chemo and before the surgery. Nothing in lymph nodes. Herceptin lasted until June 2021 before having my port out. Followed this all with Zometa for 3yrs. I have been in a medical menopause via Lupron since April 2020 as well. I'm now stage 4 with a brain metastasis that was found in February this year when I thought I had a sinus infection. I had a crainotomy a week later and am now receiving treatment every 3 weeks. I also started a trial and am in the third round. I apologize for the lengthy description! I hope it is at least helpful to others who may try to relate. Or those who just want to understand. My point is that we all should stay aware and take care! This current status is terrifying. I hardly thought about it with the breast cancer in 2020 although my father was diagnosed in October that year with a glioblastoma and died in May 2021. Life is not always easy. Be better. Do better. This is my new motto and have fun. Always.

    My son @ age 30 was diagnosed with colon cancer, from the burn pits in Afghanistan he was in the marines. It jumped to his liver and lungs.recent pet is showing NED after over 50 rounds of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Just got switched to immunotherapy. Going to up his pet scans from every 6 months to every 3 months oncologist said if we have to we could put him back on chemo. Say a prayer the immunotherapy works.

    There seems to be a large increase in these videos from young "Vegan" women probably following a "Western Vegan" diet. Hard to say for sure because i dont know exactly what they're eating on a day to day basis. I think vegan for the most part is ok if all you're eating are organic vegetables and nothing else but if you start adding any of the grocery store bought packaged "Vegan" foods loaded with junk, thats where it becomes a problem. A proper "Vegan" diet should be eating nothing but 80% vegetables and 20% fruit with 36 hour intermittent fasting. No juicing, no smoothies or anything else loaded with sugar. A smoothie every now and then is ok if its 80% vegetables and 20% berries.

    It is so frustrating. I am also from Ontario and my Mom was just diagnosed with rectal cancer at 67. She couldn't have surgery because it is too low in the rectum. She did chemo and is now undergoing radiation. She was diagnosed in October 2023. I was also suffering stomach issues much like yours and waited 1 year to get an appointment with a gastroenterologist. When I finally got in the November following my Mom's diagnosis. My family doctor actually pushed for me to get in. He said with my symptoms I should have a scope and once my Mom was diagnosed he said I should have a colonoscopy. I'm 42. The specialist wouldn't do a scope and I had to fight for a colonoscopy. He said I was good to wait til 50. I ended up having one done in January of this year after pushing because I too occasionally get blood in my stool. Luckily all is good. But I am still having uncomfortable bloating in my stomach, upper and lower. All he does is want to give me pills. I have no answers. I may go and seek a natural route and try a naturopath. I'm so sorry for what you are going through and pray everything works out.

    Perspective will drive your outcome. You have taken control over the single most important thing- Having the right attitude. I've been a cancer nurse for 15 years and I will tell you that I repeatedly see much better quality of life and overall enjoyment of the days people have left, when they have a good attitude about the things that they can control. Not to say these people are upbeat and happy all the time, it just seems they consciously choose words and actions that are positive, proactive and peaceful

    Thank you for this video. I don’t mean to be pedantic, but you did not have radical mastectomies. “A radical mastectomy is a surgical procedure that treats breast cancer by removing the breast and its underlying chest muscle (including major and pectoralis minor), and lymph nodes of the axilla (armpit).” I’m a breast cancer survivor, too. I had a lumpectomy. My aunt, however, got breast cancer in 1960 or so, when radical mastectomies were thought to be necessary in order to save lives (lumpectomy was unheard of, I think). I wish you everything good. And no one should criticize anyone for her choices. We all do what we believe is most likely to lead to no more cancer. Your new breasts look fantastic!

Also I believe you need to rely on God. Also having that big family to fight for is key. Your wife is amazing and God Bless her. You are lucky to have made it to the wedding let alone with hair.
