You are walking down a long hard road and I feel for you my dear. Don't think that the videos about your health are not what we want to hear. Yes, we want to hear how you are doing because we care about you. ❤
It took my hair 3 months to grow back in after my chemo and stem cell transplant. I had curly hair previously, but it came back 50 times curlier. It's been 2 years and it is still crazy curly. The neuropathy went away in my hands, but I still have it in my feet. Girl, My cancer is not curable. I have Multiple Myeloma. So I get some more time. You have got this. Work your way to acceptance at your own level. You will get there. It seems like you won't get there but you will I promise. I am sending my blessings. During my Stemcell transplant, It was discovered I also had skin cancer and Endometrial cancer also. So I ended up doing a radical Hysterectomy 4 months after my chemo/stem cells transplant. God is not going to give you more than you can handle. Walk your path of grief and acceptance, God will walk with you.
Right now, you have no idea how many people you are reaching, or how many women who have skipped their mammo's are making appointments. From experience I can tell you,, many are! I was blown away by those who I had never met, reached out to me. Seven had put off mammo's and had cancer, 1 was afraid to schedule her biopsy, sadly she is no longer with us. You are making a difference in women's lives. All you can do, is what you can do. You have been and continue to be in my prayers. It's a hard road to travel and but know that you are not alone!
I had my double mastectomy on March 14, 2023. I thought I would just have incisions where my breasts were in front. But when I woke up from my surgery. I was cut from my left side where my back starts under my arm to the middle of my chest. Then 1 inch was not cut in the center. Then the incision starts on the right to under the arm to where my back starts. The incisions under my arms are about 6 inches under my armpits. I wasn't prepared for being cut that much. Your area of cutting depends on how much side boobage you have that they have to remove to get all the breast tissue out. The areas under the arms were the areas that were really sore. The front area is mostly numb. So that area didn't hurt hardly any. The drain tubes hurt the whole 8 days I had them in. They were the worse part of the surgery. It's been a little over 3 and a half months post surgery now. And I still am experiencing weird feelings around the incision areas. Sometimes areas are numb, sometimes they tingle. Sometimes I get a stabbing pain in random areas. A lot of tightness around the area that was removed. My incision scares are still pretty bright red. They are starting to lighten up now. The worse part is the area under my arms. It looks like I have small boobs. The right one is bigger than the left side. The surgeon said that it was hard to know during the surgery how to transition around under my arms to my back. So it was swollen after the surgery, of course. But now I have those lumps of fat under there. And it really bothers me, as my arms rub against them all the time. And makes the right side sore. Since that one is bigger under there. My surgeon said I can have revision surgery done under there. But I really don't want to go through being cut again under there. I was lucky. I didn't have any cancer in any of my lymph nodes. And they got clear margins around my lump. The pathology report came back that I was cancer free after my double mastectomy. But then the fight began with the oncologist. She still wanted to make me have chemo, radiation and to take a chemo pill for 5 years. I told her no to all. That really ticked her off. I had the double so I wouldn't have to have chemo etc. As long as it wasn't in my lymph nodes or in the rest of the breast tissue. It wasn't. So I went for a 2nd opinion in a larger city, at their cancer center. That doctor actually looked at my case. And had waited for the gene test that was done on the breast tissue that they removed. To see that number. That gives them a number to see what chance of recurrence you have. So when I saw him. I felt like he looked at me. Not just lumped me in like everyone else at the cancer center in my town did. He told me that I had a low number of 20 on that gene test. I didn't need chemo or radiation. (I'd have already been done with all those treatments in my town). He did say that my towns center was "behind the times" in treatments. I said, duh. I live there I know. He did want me to take the chemo pill. But I'd researched it and the risks definitely didn't outweigh the bad side effects. And I know That I would get all of them. As I do get every side effect on every drug. So I left feeling good about my decisions. And now, I'm back to living my life. I'm so sorry you are having to go through all the hell you are going through. It is so traumatic. The emotional roller coaster is so scary. And there is so much that is not explained or they tell you could happen, till it has. I felt like most of the time they kept things from me. That might be fine for some people to be kept in the dark. But not me. I don't like surprises. I want to know what's coming. Don't like to be blindsided. There was alot of things they lied to me about. Tried to bully me into. And just tried to convince me to do. Those things don't work with me. I've always fought for myself with doctors. So my cancer journey was no different. I just wasn't ready for the low tactics that they used on me. Especially when I was scared, confused and freaking out over being told. You have cancer. Those 3 words strike fear, the likes of which you don't know till they say it to you. And then they start throwing everything at you all at once. And your still hearing shouting in your head. YOU HAVE CANCER! YOU HAVE CANCER! I've been praying for you. And I'm so sorry you had to become a member of this club, that I have started calling. The Sisterhood of the Traitorous Tatas. Welcome to the club absolutely no one wants to join. Oh, and I elected to not have any reconstruction of my breast done. I have embraced my flatness. NO MORE BRAS! No more back pain! This summer, no more heat rash under them! And now men have to look me in the eyes when they talk to me. Before they didn't know I had eyes! Remember to try to keep your sense of humor. It's the only thing that has kept me sane on this roller coaster.
Everything looks great and luscious! You have a lot to keep you busy. Glad you are doing okay. This is the day the Lord has made let us be glad and rejoice in it.

I'm so proud of you hang in there ! I have stage 4 anal cancer it's been a long journey but I'm hanging in there and yes cancer changes everything ! Stay positive and try to live stress free as much as possible.
Thank you Donna. I hope you are living life to the best of your ability! I’m sorry your going through a cancer diagnosis too. It’s the scariest thing I’ve ever been through. I am dealing with a lot of emotions everyday but most days now I feel pretty good. As I near the surgery I am feeling anxious about having a mastectomy and what that actually means for me. A good support system had helped me a lot. I hope you have one around you too. I appreciate your kind words and I wish you the best as you deal with this disease. Thanks for being here.❤️
You are such a Beautiful Warrior my Dear!!! Bless you, Take Your Time, You have a Whole New Life ahead of YOU!!! I Love your Channel and I appreciate You and your Candor!!! Thank you for sharing!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🪶🪶🪶
I went for a routine screening mammogram in dec and found out I had a lump. Diagnosed with DIC in January. I'm going into chemo Next week with severe insulin resistance and it worries me a bit. ER & HER2 positive had a lumpectomy and healed well. Just getting anxious about possible chemo interference. As an insulin-dependent diabetic, I already have thinning hair, neuropathy, brain fog, and other chemo side effects. I went Low Carb Keto in January, hopefully that helped slow the cancer growth. Thank you for your videos they helped me understand the process better.
It's really difficult to have diabetes going through chemo. Focusing on both at the same time is undaunting. It's crazy! They don't want you to lose weight, so low carb is not encouraged. In fact in the center they'd offer me high carb food, and never once asked me about diabetes!!! There was a time I was just freezing and needed to eat carbs. I didn't care to even check my blood sugars....Fortunately, at the end, my levels were remarkable.
You have been on my mind & in prayers for months. I didn't reach out because i didn't k ow how transparent you wanted to be. I wish you a healthy future and you are a strong woman. Take one day at time. Thank you for this video. Please continue to keep us updated even a short word or two.❤
I just found your channel this morning looking for a chicken canning recipe. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I have subscribed to your channel and will be following your journey so that I continuously pray for you, your family and the medical staffs caring for you. May you feel Jesus presence with you everyday.
Hei. Just foynd your channel. You seem to be doing good. its a comfort to know cancer treatment is not what it was. I was diagnosed with ILC before xmass last year and it changed my life. Im currently doing radiotherapy. 😊. Im trusting God for full recovery. He is under control and nothing will happen without his permission in Jesus Name. God bless you. ❤
Welcome to the Petals From the Past event!! I just subscribed so I can get to know you a little bit before the event!! I’ll see you there!!! God Bless!!
So glad you finished with the chemo. It was a relief having my last session many years ago. Cancer does make you re-evaluate your life, for me it helped shape my future and strangely enough I am very grateful of that time of reflection
Julie, Thank-you for your courage to explain the journey. I need to know because I think the chemo will be the same type for me. Thank-you. Very sincerely.
Thank you. Its a tough road but you will be alright. One day at time is all you can do. The chemo will get you down but just know its all temporary. I will be sending you my best wishes for a speedy recovery.
So thankful your chemo is over and you are recovering. I have Stage 4 invasive lobular carcinoma signet ring cell variant. I just finished my radiation and am facing many of the same questions you are facing about reconstruction etc. I was initially diagnosed stage 2c September 2022. I found your channel when you first announced your diagnosis. Because you laid out your treatment plan, I compared my plan and asked for more scans. The scans found my initial hormone treatment wasn't working, my cancer had spread throughout my breast and I got my mastectomy brought forward. The sentinel biopsy was positive and led to axillary lymph node dissection which was also positive for cancer in 14 nodes. After that I had restaging CT scans which showed a single metastatic tumor in the retro peritoneal area. It has been removed. So thank you for putting your journey out there. It gave me another avenue of knowledge and the courage to question and advocate for myself. You are amazing! Sending you much love and big hugs 🤗
I am so sorry you are going through all this too. It’s such a tough diagnosis and the emotions you feel are so hard to put into words. I hope you have a good support system around you during this time. I’m glad you were able to advocate for yourself and ask for additional testing. There are so many variables and we should be fully informed about our options as we navigate this disease. I will be thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Thank you for reaching out with your story. I appreciate the community of support I have found here. ❤️
I'm praying for your full recovery and hope you recover more of your strength every day. Cancer has not robbed you of your beautiful smile and wonderfully compassionate and sharing heart. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
I missed your videos and decided to search for you. So sorry you are not well. Blessings and prayers to you and family form my paradise home Jamaica.❤❤❤
Julie you are beautiful hair or no hair! I’m so glad chemo is over and believing God for your complete healing. Looking forward to seeing you in September
It's so good to see you. I've been thinking about you. When you said "things that used to feel so important before now don't seem so important", I absolutely understand that. I had the exact same feeling going thru radiation in my brain for 6 weeks. It changes your perspective. And I think that can be a good thing. Take care of yourself, I am rooting for you!
You don't know how much strength you have until you experience a trauma like breast cancer like you have. You look good. My prayers are with you. Good to see you.🙏🏽💖
You are beautiful SoilSista inside/out no matter what! We are so glad to see you and God is in control always... We are excited to see you at Patels From The Past in September! Take it easy and enjoy your beautiful lift. We will continue to pray for you and your family. Many blessings SoilSista ❤
When I was at Mayo, they told me don’t worry about your diet. Eat what you can, when you can. There are things that take a back burner. Your priorities are getting better, God, and family. I have been forever changed by my illness. You are a different person when you go thru such trauma in your life. It’s like all your senses are heightened. Smells are stronger, feelings are deeper, appreciation is keener, and meanings are different about everything. You can’t explain it but I understand. I have plans for petals so I hope to see you there. You are often in my thoughts and prayers. Big hugs from my heart to yours. 👩🌾💚
Ms Julie, I am so happy to see you this morning!! So glad to hear chemo is over. You look great by the way. Oh, it was also nice to see your grand babies and hear them laugh. You are always in my thoughts. Sending warm hugs your way. #rowandcostrong💪
I was so pleased to see you back. It's been a hard road for you but you have the right spirit. It's a long journey but you'll get through it. Wishing you all the best xx
It took me almost a week to watch your update, I think about you daily and keep you in my prayers. Don't stress over content, I am thrilled you took the time to update us. Keep on kicking cancer's rear.
❤❤❤ I have missed you, sweet friend! You look amazing!! One breath, one minute, one day at a time...everything will fall into place, as it is meant to be. You are so loved, by so many...we are all praying for you and your family. ❤❤❤
Julie, seeing you filled my heart. I'm not worried about videos, seeing you and the strength and courage it takes to just talk to us is amazing. For me, seeing what's growing on the garden encourages me in the sense of life is still happening. Take it slow Julie. How your life is evolving is a moment by moment process. You including "us" in your life is humbling. Thank you for this chat. We care about you. Don't feel pressured to "Create Content". Again, so good to see you. 💚🌻💚
It is so nice to see you again. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart. My prayers have and will continue for you. Your garden looks nice and your grandkids are growing! Good luck with your surgery and recovery. Come back to see us when you can. You are missed. Sending hugs, love and prayers.
Hope your recovery from surgery is going smoothly! Lifting you up in prayer! Take care of yourself and look forward to hearing how you’re doing! 😁🙏🏻🤗🌸🌺🌼🌞🌻🙏🏻
I am praying for your strength to continue. I am happy your chemo is over❤ As for your videos, do what is best for you . Don't worry , we are happy to see you...
OH MY GOODNESS…..Julie, it is so good to see you again. Been thinking a lot of you lately. So glad the horrible chemo is over. Keeping you and your family in our prayers. You are still BEAUTIFUL. BE STRONG. ❤❤❤❤
So happy to hear from you and chemo is finally over. God has walked you through this and He will with you next step. Making a video of how your doing is good for you, gets all your feelings out.
It is wonderful to see you!!! 100% taking care of YOU & using this channel for whatever you need it to be. Please know lots of folks are sending you strength through this process. I found, during my cancer process, that the true “healing” began AFTER my treatments. So definitely give yourself the grace & time to slow down & tend to yourself. 💖
You are doing amazing and I’m so glad you posted! I just finished my chemo on June 14th and my single mastectomy is on July 17th. I was diagnosed with ILC on November 5th. The largest tumour was just over 8cm and Chemo blasted it down to 7mm! I’m a bit anxious about the surgery and really need to talk myself into the fact that it’s removing the cancer so it will be a good thing. I wish they’d take my currently health breast at the same time, but they won’t. My 25 days of radiation begins sometime in September and I’ll decide about reconstruction at a later date as well. Thanks for being so open and real about how much Chemo affected you. I too was hit quite hard and even landed in the hospital for 6 nights due to an infection, my white and red blood cells being dangerously low and Covid to top it all off. I ended up needing a unit of blood to get my red blood cells and energy back to a somewhat normal level and I’m so thankful to have received that. Sending you a huge hug and the best of wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery❤
Hi! So sorry your walking this path too. It’s so scary isn’t it? So many choices to make and they all suck! It sounds like we have very similar diagnosis even the size of our tumors are similar. And the chemo really shrunk mine a lot too (not sure how much yet). But we can tell by feeling that it is smaller and softer. I am very anxious about surgery it’s less than two weeks away and it’s starting to set in that in only have a few days left with my breasts. It’s a weird thought to have about a body part right? I haven’t even really started thinking about radiation yet even though I know it’s right around the corner. One thing at a time. Healing in between treatments and trying to exercise and eat right and do alot of self care is helping a lot. I have never in my life spent so much time on myself as I do right now. I hope you’re able to do the same. Having a good support system helps a lot and I also hope you have lots of loved ones around to help you during this time. I appreciate you sharing your story with me. It helps to hear other stories although it breaks my heart that so many other are facing this too. Please take care and keep me posted about your progress. We got this!! We may not come out in one piece but we are coming out of this!!
I think your plan for channel is wonderful. Through self care you could help so many including myself. I am horrible at self care. I need desperately to self care since I have lupus. It’s very difficult and feels selfish if I self care. Continue to get well!!
So great to see you and your beautiful face. I know you have a difficult cancer.journey but happy to hear you are practicing self care! Sending you healing thoughts and much love.
Do NOT feel bad for not sharing your trials! You didn't need the stress of working then (and I understand that creating YT content is much more difficult than you make it look!), or the guilt now. Focus your energy on your healing!
I've been anxiously waiting for an update, thank you for sharing! You look wonderful and are very loved and should be proud of how far you've come. God's got this!
So good to see your beautiful face!! Thank you for the update. We are here for whatever you decide to put on your channel. Continuing to pray for peace and complete healing.
So good to see your video pop up❤ so glad that chemo is done for you. Keeping you in my prayers. Take care of you first. We will all be here when you drop in.
Been thinking and praying for you so much over the last few months. You are so beautiful. I will continue prayers that the worst is behind you and your health is restored even better than before. Sending lots of hugs and prayers.
Julie, I know I appreciate your updates. I want to know how you are doing because I care. You are an amazing woman. My closest friend went through this in the last year and my prayers are with you. You are strong. You are vulnerable. You let us into your life and I want to see healing for you. God Bless Julie. Keep doing you, whatever that looks like.❤
I’ve been thinking about you and praying for you! So happy to see you beautiful lady! I’m so sorry for all your going through and still keeping you in my prayers. You stay strong girl!
Julie, thank you for the update. You are such a sweet soul and are beautiful. The Lord has a great plan for you through this journey and your test will become your greatest testimony. As you seek to figure out the direction of your content know He will guide you. I have no doubt there are MANY who are walking in your shoes or have medical struggles and would love to see how you are able to homestead through it all. Keep on keeping on and know you are loved and covered in prayer. ❤
So glad you are through with the chemo. I had lobular bc as well in November. I was upset that it wasn't found earlier on my yearly mammograms but thankful it was at least found last fall with my mammogram. Lobular can be undetected for a long time because its so hard to see. . My cancer prompted my sister to go get a mammogram which she had avoided for 8 years. She had breast cancer as well...ductal not lobular. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming surgery and radiation. You will do great.

I am so excited for you! I'm happy that the chemo stage is over, and praying for you over the next steps.
I loved my bald head. So much easier to care for. I am 6 years lung cancer free. Survivors are beautiful and strong. ❤
I do as well and I sincerely think woman looks beautiful bald 😍

As an insulin-dependent diabetic, I already have thinning hair, neuropathy, brain fog, and other chemo side effects. I went Low Carb Keto in January, hopefully that helped slow the cancer growth. Thank you for your videos they helped me understand the process better.
It's really difficult to have diabetes going through chemo. Focusing on both at the same time is undaunting. It's crazy! They don't want you to lose weight, so low carb is not encouraged. In fact in the center they'd offer me high carb food, and never once asked me about diabetes!!! There was a time I was just freezing and needed to eat carbs. I didn't care to even check my blood sugars....Fortunately, at the end, my levels were remarkable.
You have been on my mind & in prayers for months. I didn't reach out because i didn't k ow how transparent you wanted to be. I wish you a healthy future and you are a strong woman. Take one day at time. Thank you for this video. Please continue to keep us updated even a short word or two.❤
I just found your channel this morning looking for a chicken canning recipe. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I have subscribed to your channel and will be following your journey so that I continuously pray for you, your family and the medical staffs caring for you. May you feel Jesus presence with you everyday.
❤❤❤So happy to see you Praise God Chemo is over
Be sure we have thought of you so often. Our prayers for you to heal completely.
Hei. Just foynd your channel. You seem to be doing good. its a comfort to know cancer treatment is not what it was. I was diagnosed with ILC before xmass last year and it changed my life. Im currently doing radiotherapy. 😊. Im trusting God for full recovery. He is under control and nothing will happen without his permission in Jesus Name. God bless you. ❤
You're a fighter! You got this!
Welcome to the Petals From the Past event!! I just subscribed so I can get to know you a little bit before the event!! I’ll see you there!!! God Bless!!
It so wonderful to see you and get an update. I will continue to pray for you and your family.
You look beautiful , keep up the good work. Please keep making videos. I am from Alabama. I will be waiting for videos ❤❤❤.
Here for you when you're ready!!!
Love, Hugs and 🙏 ♥️
You are a Hero ❤, big hug
Prayers
Thinking of you. I'm going thru my treatment right now and am also BRCA 2. We will get to the other side. We got this! 🙏🙏🙏
So glad you finished with the chemo. It was a relief having my last session many years ago. Cancer does make you re-evaluate your life, for me it helped shape my future and strangely enough I am very grateful of that time of reflection
Julie, Thank-you for your courage to explain the journey.
I need to know because I think the chemo will be the same type for me. Thank-you.
Very sincerely.
Thank you. Its a tough road but you will be alright. One day at time is all you can do. The chemo will get you down but just know its all temporary. I will be sending you my best wishes for a speedy recovery.
So thankful your chemo is over and you are recovering. I have Stage 4 invasive lobular carcinoma signet ring cell variant. I just finished my radiation and am facing many of the same questions you are facing about reconstruction etc. I was initially diagnosed stage 2c September 2022. I found your channel when you first announced your diagnosis. Because you laid out your treatment plan, I compared my plan and asked for more scans. The scans found my initial hormone treatment wasn't working, my cancer had spread throughout my breast and I got my mastectomy brought forward. The sentinel biopsy was positive and led to axillary lymph node dissection which was also positive for cancer in 14 nodes. After that I had restaging CT scans which showed a single metastatic tumor in the retro peritoneal area. It has been removed. So thank you for putting your journey out there. It gave me another avenue of knowledge and the courage to question and advocate for myself. You are amazing! Sending you much love and big hugs 🤗
I am so sorry you are going through all this too. It’s such a tough diagnosis and the emotions you feel are so hard to put into words. I hope you have a good support system around you during this time. I’m glad you were able to advocate for yourself and ask for additional testing. There are so many variables and we should be fully informed about our options as we navigate this disease. I will be thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Thank you for reaching out with your story. I appreciate the community of support I have found here. ❤️
I'm praying for your full recovery and hope you recover more of your strength every day. Cancer has not robbed you of your beautiful smile and wonderfully compassionate and sharing heart. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
I missed your videos and decided to search for you. So sorry you are not well. Blessings and prayers to you and family form my paradise home Jamaica.❤❤❤
❤✌🏻❤so glad to hear and see your smile face 😀
Thank you! Glad to be back.
God bless you sweet lady 🙏💕💕

Julie you are beautiful hair or no hair! I’m so glad chemo is over and believing God for your complete healing.
Looking forward to seeing you in September
you have been on my mind, I'm so glad you're done with the chemo and I will keep you in my prayers as you continue this journey!
It's so good to see you. I've been thinking about you. When you said "things that used to feel so important before now don't seem so important", I absolutely understand that. I had the exact same feeling going thru radiation in my brain for 6 weeks. It changes your perspective. And I think that can be a good thing.
Take care of yourself, I am rooting for you!
You don't know how much strength you have until you experience a trauma like breast cancer like you have. You look good. My prayers are with you. Good to see you.🙏🏽💖
My dear you look beautiful 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thank you so much
You are beautiful SoilSista inside/out no matter what! We are so glad to see you and God is in control always... We are excited to see you at Patels From The Past in September! Take it easy and enjoy your beautiful lift. We will continue to pray for you and your family. Many blessings SoilSista ❤
When I was at Mayo, they told me don’t worry about your diet. Eat what you can, when you can. There are things that take a back burner. Your priorities are getting better, God, and family. I have been forever changed by my illness. You are a different person when you go thru such trauma in your life. It’s like all your senses are heightened. Smells are stronger, feelings are deeper, appreciation is keener, and meanings are different about everything. You can’t explain it but I understand. I have plans for petals so I hope to see you there. You are often in my thoughts and prayers. Big hugs from my heart to yours. 👩🌾💚
Ms Julie, I am so happy to see you this morning!! So glad to hear chemo is over. You look great by the way. Oh, it was also nice to see your grand babies and hear them laugh. You are always in my thoughts. Sending warm hugs your way. #rowandcostrong💪
You are a WARRIOR MY LADY!!! Period!!! Keep on Rocking on!!!
Chemo is over🥳 You look great, thank you for the update. You have built a great online community.
I was so pleased to see you back. It's been a hard road for you but you have the right spirit. It's a long journey but you'll get through it. Wishing you all the best xx
It was great to hear and see you. You make yourself a priority and if the channel somehow fits into your journey I will be here to support you! ❤
It took me almost a week to watch your update, I think about you daily and keep you in my prayers. Don't stress over content, I am thrilled you took the time to update us. Keep on kicking cancer's rear.
❤❤❤ I have missed you, sweet friend! You look amazing!! One breath, one minute, one day at a time...everything will fall into place, as it is meant to be. You are so loved, by so many...we are all praying for you and your family. ❤❤❤
I’m so happy to see you. I think about you all the time. We all love you and pray for you. ♥️♥️♥️
Bless your heart Julie….cancer sucks. Keeping you in my prayers always ❤
Julie, seeing you filled my heart. I'm not worried about videos, seeing you and the strength and courage it takes to just talk to us is amazing. For me, seeing what's growing on the garden encourages me in the sense of life is still happening. Take it slow Julie. How your life is evolving is a moment by moment process. You including "us" in your life is humbling. Thank you for this chat. We care about you. Don't feel pressured to "Create Content". Again, so good to see you. 💚🌻💚
It is so nice to see you again. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart. My prayers have and will continue for you. Your garden looks nice and your grandkids are growing! Good luck with your surgery and recovery. Come back to see us when you can. You are missed. Sending hugs, love and prayers.

Oh my, what a tough path you’ve been on. You nailed it saying “many roller coaster rides”. My prayers continue for you and yours.
I was so excited when I saw this video in my notifications. Continued prayers. Thanks for the update. Be blessed!!
I am praying for your strength to continue. I am happy your chemo is over❤

worry , we are happy to see you...
OH MY GOODNESS…..Julie, it is so good to see you again. Been thinking a lot of you lately. So glad the horrible chemo is over. Keeping you and your family in our prayers. You are still BEAUTIFUL. BE STRONG. ❤❤❤❤
So happy to hear from you and chemo is finally over. God has walked you through this and He will with you next step. Making a video of how your doing is good for you, gets all your feelings out.
So glad you're done chemo. Been praying for you so glad for the update. Those grandchildren are beautiful!
Stay strong! You are beautiful! Praying for you! Your grand daughters are getting big!❤
It is wonderful to see you!!! 100% taking care of YOU & using this channel for whatever you need it to be.
Please know lots of folks are sending you strength through this process.
I found, during my cancer process, that the true “healing” began AFTER my treatments. So definitely give yourself the grace & time to slow down & tend to yourself. 💖
You are doing amazing and I’m so glad you posted! I just finished my chemo on June 14th and my single mastectomy is on July 17th. I was diagnosed with ILC on November 5th. The largest tumour was just over 8cm and Chemo blasted it down to 7mm! I’m a bit anxious about the surgery and really need to talk myself into the fact that it’s removing the cancer so it will be a good thing. I wish they’d take my currently health breast at the same time, but they won’t. My 25 days of radiation begins sometime in September and I’ll decide about reconstruction at a later date as well. Thanks for being so open and real about how much Chemo affected you. I too was hit quite hard and even landed in the hospital for 6 nights due to an infection, my white and red blood cells being dangerously low and Covid to top it all off. I ended up needing a unit of blood to get my red blood cells and energy back to a somewhat normal level and I’m so thankful to have received that. Sending you a huge hug and the best of wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery❤
Hi! So sorry your walking this path too. It’s so scary isn’t it? So many choices to make and they all suck! It sounds like we have very similar diagnosis even the size of our tumors are similar. And the chemo really shrunk mine a lot too (not sure how much yet). But we can tell by feeling that it is smaller and softer. I am very anxious about surgery it’s less than two weeks away and it’s starting to set in that in only have a few days left with my breasts. It’s a weird thought to have about a body part right? I haven’t even really started thinking about radiation yet even though I know it’s right around the corner. One thing at a time. Healing in between treatments and trying to exercise and eat right and do alot of self care is helping a lot. I have never in my life spent so much time on myself as I do right now. I hope you’re able to do the same. Having a good support system helps a lot and I also hope you have lots of loved ones around to help you during this time. I appreciate you sharing your story with me. It helps to hear other stories although it breaks my heart that so many other are facing this too. Please take care and keep me posted about your progress. We got this!! We may not come out in one piece but we are coming out of this!!
Thank you for your update. I’m so glad that your chemo is over. Continued prayers sweet lady. You got this! 🙏🏻
I am so happy to see you!!! Much love and prayers continue for your journey back to health.
I think your plan for channel is wonderful. Through self care you could help so many including myself. I am horrible at self care. I need desperately to self care since I have lupus. It’s very difficult and feels selfish if I self care. Continue to get well!!
It’s so exciting to see you! Praise God chemotherapy is over for you🙌 have a blessed day
So great to see you and your beautiful face. I know you have a difficult cancer.journey but happy to hear you are practicing self care! Sending you healing thoughts and much love.
Do NOT feel bad for not sharing your trials! You didn't need the stress of working then (and I understand that creating YT content is much more difficult than you make it look!), or the guilt now. Focus your energy on your healing!
Best wishes Julie! I hope you have a quick recovery. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts. ❤
I've been anxiously waiting for an update, thank you for sharing! You look wonderful and are very loved and should be proud of how far you've come. God's got this!
So exciting to see your video! ❤. We’re continuing to lift you up and think of you often.

Julie, thank you for the update. You are such a sweet soul and are beautiful. The Lord has a great plan for you through this journey and your test will become your greatest testimony.
As you seek to figure out the direction of your content know He will guide you. I have no doubt there are MANY who are walking in your shoes or have medical struggles and would love to see how you are able to homestead through it all.
Keep on keeping on and know you are loved and covered in prayer. ❤
Thank you for posting this video! I have been wondering how you were. I too have been diagnosed with cancer and had my third chemo treatment today.
Hi Julie ❤ so glad you’ve moved through chemo, just know we are always thinking of you!
So glad you are through with the chemo. I had lobular bc as well in November. I was upset that it wasn't found earlier on my yearly mammograms but thankful it was at least found last fall with my mammogram. Lobular can be undetected for a long time because its so hard to see. . My cancer prompted my sister to go get a mammogram which she had avoided for 8 years. She had breast cancer as well...ductal not lobular. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming surgery and radiation. You will do great.
It’s soooo good to see you back on TH-cam! Continuing to lift you up in prayer ❤️
