Jessica Reyes. Yes the tiredness is the most difficult side effect of chemo. I tried to take one small walk around the block every day just to get outside… And I felt better for it even though I was tired. I found that the longer I laid in bed, the more depressed I felt. So I would force myself to get up, get a shower and get dressed. Make sure you are taking some good multivitamins, and B complex to help with energy. The menopause does suck, and I went through that as well. I use a natural Phytoestrogen cream from the natural grocery store. It has no hormones. And it helps with the hot flashes. As for the infusions, I had a Doctor Who made them a very slow drip so it took me about eight hours to complete one infusion. But it was well worth it because my body tolerated it better. Take good care of yourself during this time… I tried to get massages often and having that to look forward to helped. Lastly, avoid people who don’t make you feel better. There are trolls out there who just want all the gory details. Learn to avoid them and learn who you can really turn to, someone who will love and support you. All the best to you my friend
Thank Dee for this informative video. Thank you father that your plans for Dee are full of favor and blessings, I pray for peace in Dees heart knowing that this cancer will not determine the outcome but your word is the final say and you have decided that Dee is blessed, favored, and You will give Dee a life full of abundance in Jesus name. Lori from California🙏🎉🎉🎉
This was so helpful ! Just starting into just this process and your video helped ease the stress so much. They can tell you all they want but to hear it from someone who went thru it was the most beneficial. Thank you
Alhamdolillah, i can treat the patient of chest cancer, lump/chest pain with 100℅ result in 25 to 30 days by the grace of Allah. Before spending so much troubles and money, consider it a necessity. Please whatsApp +923342428800
Thanks so much for this video, Dee. I was diagnosed with breast cancer July 2022 and have been in a fog not believing it because breast cancer doesn't run in my family. I've been nervous about taking radiation treatments believing that I would lose my hair ( I discovered later since it's just the breast receiving radiation, there won't be any hair loss --that was a relief!). Thank you again for your video; now I know what to expect.
I got mastectomy on my left breast earlier this year and am starting 5 wk RT tomorrow. Your story really helps me prepare for that. Many thanks and I hope you be well.
I’ve staged 4 breast cancer. Surgery is not going to help. I’ve two times different areas radiation , they’re easy to due with. Next week I’ll have a PetCT Scan . The oncologist will make the final decision for me to have chemotherapy. I think I’ll have a hard time !
I'm getting ready to get 15 days radiation on my left breast. I just had the accelerated 3 session radiation SAVI on my right breast. Wondering how your radiation went and hope you are doing well!
Unfortunately radiotherapy didn’t work for my mum. She was given exaggerated story why she needed it done to instil fear. She had it done now 2 months later she’s dead.
Mind are very fast. I am literally in and put with 15 minutes. 20 tops. The one side effect that I didn't expect was the skin dermatitis on my scalp within a week. I started feeling also tired within the first week and sore troat. God bless you and God help us heal
My mom has a lumpectomy this Wednesday, and I’m looking for information on the next steps. Thank you for describing your personal experience! I will share this video with my mom so she doesn’t have to wonder anymore, “what comes next?” Do you have any suggestions of how I can help my mom through this process?
I pray for all this wonderful women that have to go through this, that our Heavenly Father restore their health, and give strength. 🙏 I have to go through this too, but my Lord is my Peace and Strength.
Jessica Reyes Hello...I am a cancer survivor who went through chemo. Mine was ovarian. I remember so well the day I had my head shaved. It was traumatic....I so understand how you feel. But when you are done with chemo, your hair should come in very nicely. I loved how thick and curly mine came in. You may feel alone , but there are a lot of us survivors out here! You can do this!
Jessica Reyes. How are you? Hope your first chemo went smoothly! I can give you some tips in case you are having reactions...I had some terrible allergic reaction’s, but the dogs got them under control. know you not alone!
Yes I would love so tips it went well I am just so tried and it hard cause I have a puppy to care for and going threw menopause as well amd the side effects are crazy I am trying so much I did shave my head it wasnt that bad thank you so much
Hi Dee, you are such a beautiful inspirational soul, I have been watching your journey over the last 6weeks since I was diagnosed with early stage 1 triple positive breast cancer, after lumpectomy will travel down the road of Chemo, Radiation & herceptin, it has helped me to understand the process & what is in store for me, Love & guiding light from Australia.
I love that you so accurately explained radiation therapy, as a radiation therapist I appreciate that, my only correction for breast cancer specifically is that some patients do blister, peel, turn dark red. Your reaction is beautiful and looks wonderful though!
My skin got red, darken and sore after the 3rd week of radiation. The nipple and under arm area of my skin cracked. It looks like about to bleed. I couldn’t sleep at night when my clothes touch my skin it hurt so bad. I reported to my Dr and he prescribed me SSD 1% silver sulfadiazine cream which is for 2nd and 3rd degree burn. I now much better and continue my 4th week of radiation. Without this cream I couldn’t continue my treatment.
Hullo from Australia; the tiredness is punishing and I listen to my body and just STOP. Overall, I am healing well; the kindness and understanding of everyone has been great.
I’m having a lumpectomy with a lift and reduction on the 15th. I’m stage one . I will do radiation after and will not know if I have to do chemo until after we get the pathology back. Thanks for sharing.
the music really pushes my autism to the limit and I can't listen... would love to, as i am burned and swollen by 16x radiation after a lumpectomy... but yah... cute, wish I could have stayed to listen
Christina B Critter that’s a shame. Hydrocortisone and E45 Don’t use any perfumed washes in the shower. Try not to let shampoo run down onto your skin. Bad burns usually are from doing these things before the radiation - using products containing metals. The side effects keep going. I did 25x and at the end I thought that would be the worst of it but my skin got worse for another 2 weeks so use the creams I mentioned above.
Thank you. My moms receiving radiation and chemo currently for 5 wks. Gastric cancer. This was a nice video. Helpful. Much love and light to you. Xo from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Yes I did the breathe hold as well. One day the 3rd Nov 2020, this radiation therapist Roy (not the team leader) did it differently to the plan, I knew because I’d gotten to know the sequence of the machine plus the 1st 2 breaths were the hardest. This time it wasn’t, the breaths were different as well. I asked him why, his answer was “ he was bored”!!! Well Roy, sorry my cancer bored you. Maybe you go scrub toilets. A few days later taking me in he says, I got into trouble for doing that, he says oh not big trouble she (team leader) just laughed and said stick to the plan. How unprofessional was that. Recent scans show some scarring on lung and I wonder if it was because of ROY. Thing is I recorded all sessions on my iPad (great app) so I have the moron on record admitting it.
I did say something or try to to one of the other radiation therapist and it was like stop bothering them pffftt , I did do a write up in what is called City News, as a man was writing about how his wife was poorly treated at same Hospital. However I think I will write to the Health Minister which will do nothing so I’ll include the opposition, the Director of the Hospital and Federal health, plus a media outlet , because it still bothers me to this day. As if we aren’t under enough stress as it is. He didn’t even get the last one correct, the last booster, it started and cut off, he said he forgot to turn a key, it was either that or there was a student there so showing her how it will cut off. I took him to task on that as well. This is in the Australian Capital Territory, ACT Australia
17 Dec 2018 my dad will go through this thank you so much. You are so amazing and beautiful god bless you. You are so strong. I hope you feel better now
I'm so glad that u made it thru all of your treatments. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and I pray that your symptoms don't get worse for you. I pray that God continues to keep a healing hand over you because God has enough angels right now you have a full life to live with your kids. Love you and God bless let me know if you need anything
Hello dear...I am also undergoing treatment for the left breast carcinoma..Currently radiation is going on..I had 7 cm lump and two nodes positive...I had mastectomy with implant surgery..Just wanted to share that the radio therapy has affected my throat..It's paining while swallowing ...Plz let me know have u taken any medicine for that?
if you only had slight burn like sun burn you were very fortunate. My mother had third degree burns that cracked and bleed. She was very sorry she agreed to radiation. The side effects also include posisibilty of other cancers like leukemia because you are exposed to so much radiation, along with damage to your heart and lungs if its breast cancer(or throat ). i am amazed that its still used as "therapy" because it doens't cure anything but people believe that because thats what doctors tell them.
Minerva it’s not about “curing”. And I still have the scars from the burn but I never bled because I didn’t use any products containing metals for 8 months before radiation.
Thank you. For sharing your journey. Have you found a difference in the size of your breast tissue as yet. Bless you. Hope you are 100% healthy moving forward 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you. My mother is really very upsetting to under go RT due to myths about RT and afraid to go for this . After this video of your personal experience she little bit positive . She will finish her chemotherapy in next week and planned for RT in June. Very kind of you. Thank you very much. In between time of one month to RT will go less fearful due to yuor video
Thank you and God bless you ! Someone I love is going threw this ,,but the thing I don’t understand is that she continues to smoke marijuana and cigarettes and drink alcohol I just don’t understand , I’m looking for answers and I don’t want to get mad at her ,I just don’t know what to do. It hurts the love ones too .. when I try to talk to her she tells me I have breast cancer not lung cancer . No talking to her I just have to hope she’ll be ok ..
I've had colorectal cancer and was told by my surgeon that the benefits of radiation on my type of cancer were so minimal that the potential side effects / damage from the radiation were not worth it
Dee you nailed this explanation well done this is from a Gal that had radiation in July 2016 in st Lukes oncology in st James campus .Like you said before the staff were the best made the whole process go so smoothly 😘
This is truly an excellent video, so well done. Exactly what I went through in Germany. I've just finished 16 sessions after mastectomy. I'm 74, by God's grace, I don't have unbearable burns or pain now. I'm from India so the burn is very dark. I seem to have been left with a "small breast ", I guess that's scar tissue? I've been doing exercises at home. My 86 year old husband is on dialysis and I do not want to be travelling for physio. I'd be grateful if you can explain scar tissue please. Renu Roy from Germany. Had it
Congrats. I am 54 in Canada and just finished my chemo yesterday. Will start radiation in a few weeks. Thank you for sharing your story. They have helped me a lot. Hugs
Thanks for the info. I go in for my radiation from March 15-30, 2023. This made it easier to understand. I half a mass between my aorta and kidney on my left side. Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you great video, I had anal cancer had major operation, was very unwell, thought I would need radiation treatment, when I saw my surgeon was told no further treatment was needed, I was over joyed,
Thank you for the video. That's thr next thing I need to do once I heal enough from surgery. I was wondering how I could bear to do it. Thank you for being so good at sharing.
Thanks for sharing your story. I share mine too on my channel. Cancer treatment is a lot but we will win this fight! I have not wore a bar since surgery but once. That is one positive thing.
I've said it before but you're truly amazing... thank you for sharing this and for being so informative and demystifying this treatment. I'm still not sure if I'll be required to have radiotherapy but I feel more relaxed about the idea now!
You look amazing! I have always wondered if they say that the radiation could cause more cancer in the future? I've always worried about that. I hope you are feeling well..you are so strong and you make it look so easy...but I know for sure that it is NOT easy! I've never seen you with blonde curly hair and I love it..blonde looks really pretty on you and your makeup is flawless! Are your makeup tutorials still up? I'd love to check them out...I hope you continue the makeup videos...Thank you for your honesty and explaining everything so well...I'm amazed you didn't have to use anything for pain..thats awesome...keep the faith and I'm sending hugs your way xo Hydie 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you for posting this. I started radiotherapy last Thursday and am still muddling my way through. Information vlogs like this are so helpful. Thank you!
Found this video really good on understanding what happens. As my mum starts this on Monday she's got to have 2 sessions a week for 3 weeks then she then has to wait 9 weeks I think they said so they can do a test to see if it's worked or not then we will be giving a time line. As she can't have a operation to move her cancer as her body wouldn't be able to cope with it. She's got cancer in the top end of her stomach near her sarcophagus it's not in her lymph node. Just showed this to my mum so she knows what to expect when she goes.
Miss Dee...it’s wonderful to see your beautiful smiling face! I’ve been thinking about you and wondering how you were. I’m grateful you have had a positive healthcare experience (as it should’ve been from the start) and are looking so stunning, calm, and more at peace (at least from this side of the screen). Sending you and your family positive thoughts and energy always! Hugs from California!! 💚😻💜
So glad I came across your channel. I am similar to you, mum with young kids that's been having treatment for breast cancer. I want to thank you for being you, you are a true inspiration ❤
This video is so helpful I wished I had found it before I started this week simply because the first day was overwhelming w/a all the "laser beams" to line you up, the cameras, the machine..I got teared up not out of sadness out of nerves! So yes this helps. If you are starting rads I highly suggest this video and any preplanning meeting videos that talk about how they mark you up in prep for rads....It is sometimes helpful for some to see and know things ahead of time....
Thank you for making these videos of your journey. I am finishing up chemo for stage 2 invasive Ductal carcinoma & Will then have double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. I have really enjoyed your vids & helpful insights & info. It has helped me a lot!
I had Invasive Lobular carcinoma and had my double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction with exspanders. I just finished chemo 2 weeks ago and I start radiation in 2 weeks for 5 1/2 weeks. I have tried so hard to be as positive as I could be, at times it's hard but I feel like if you have an awesome group of doctors,nurses and support system that awill get you through the hardest parts!
Thank you for this video. Today i went for my 5th session of radiotherapy. The 3rd session was on a Friday , Saturday I couldn’t stop yawning I was feeling so tired. Sunday got up had some breakfast and stayed in bed all day. On my 4th session I went home around 4.30pm and straight to bed. I was told that because I had neo-adjuvant chemotherapy that’s why I am feeling tired at an early stage.
Only very special people have a kind heart to help others. Your an absolute angel.
Shanana Nasim thank you!

Phytoestrogen sounds like it imitates estrogen plant based, my oncologist warned me about this.

How long was your RT treatment. I’m half way through my 15 days for left sided breast cancer. Really appreciated your experience. All the best.

So sorry...my husband waiting for last chance radiotherapy. Was in hospital 2 weeks ago with sepsis due to aggressive chemo x
Mind are very fast. I am literally in and put with 15 minutes. 20 tops. The one side effect that I didn't expect was the skin dermatitis on my scalp within a week. I started feeling also tired within the first week and sore troat. God bless you and God help us heal

Has anyone here ever heard of Dr. Lederman in Manhattan, and if so is he any good? He's big on Radio surgery.
I'm sharing this with my family so they understand exactly how I'm feeling, you describe my symptoms perfectly
Lesley O'Byrne much love to you xx

I seem to have been left with a "small breast ", I guess that's scar tissue?

I'd be grateful if you can explain scar tissue please.

Had it
Thank you! RT is coming my way in the few months ahead. Glad to hear it was one of the easiest parts of the jourmey!
My side effects were worse. Likely because my dosage was stronger.. definitely trying to heal some 3rd degree burns right now. 😣
Congrats. I am 54 in Canada and just finished my chemo yesterday. Will start radiation in a few weeks. Thank you for sharing your story. They have helped me a lot. Hugs
How are you doing? I'm your age, 55. I just started.
God bless you, my treatment at the end was terrible I did burn bad!
Thanks for the info. I go in for my radiation from March 15-30, 2023. This made it easier to understand. I half a mass between my aorta and kidney on my left side. Thank you for your kindness.

Thanks for sharing your story. I share mine too on my channel. Cancer treatment is a lot but we will win this fight! I have not wore a bar since surgery but once. That is one positive thing.
Thank you so much. I am having radiotherapy soon. Now i know a bit more what to expect. Thanks ❤️
How long did it take for you hair to start growing this long? Did you take anything extra to help grow? Thanks
I've said it before but you're truly amazing... thank you for sharing this and for being so informative and demystifying this treatment. I'm still not sure if I'll be required to have radiotherapy but I feel more relaxed about the idea now!

You look amazing! I have always wondered if they say that the radiation could cause more cancer in the future? I've always worried about that. I hope you are feeling well..you are so strong and you make it look so easy...but I know for sure that it is NOT easy! I've never seen you with blonde curly hair and I love it..blonde looks really pretty on you and your makeup is flawless! Are your makeup tutorials still up? I'd love to check them out...I hope you continue the makeup videos...Thank you for your honesty and explaining everything so well...I'm amazed you didn't have to use anything for pain..thats awesome...keep the faith and I'm sending hugs your way xo Hydie 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Hydie 007 thank you, hope you are well!
Thank you for posting this. I started radiotherapy last Thursday and am still muddling my way through. Information vlogs like this are so helpful. Thank you!
Wow you are absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much for opening up with us about your experience, it puts me at ease 🥰
Thank you x hope you’re doing ok!!
Found this video really good on understanding what happens. As my mum starts this on Monday she's got to have 2 sessions a week for 3 weeks then she then has to wait 9 weeks I think they said so they can do a test to see if it's worked or not then we will be giving a time line. As she can't have a operation to move her cancer as her body wouldn't be able to cope with it. She's got cancer in the top end of her stomach near her sarcophagus it's not in her lymph node. Just showed this to my mum so she knows what to expect when she goes.
MAY GOD BLESS AND HEAL EVERYONE
Miss Dee...it’s wonderful to see your beautiful smiling face! I’ve been thinking about you and wondering how you were.
I’m grateful you have had a positive healthcare experience (as it should’ve been from the start) and are looking so stunning, calm, and more at peace (at least from this side of the screen). Sending you and your family positive thoughts and energy always!
Hugs from California!! 💚😻💜
Kerri Tollison thank you darling xxxx
Dee Doherty : you made my day! You truly are an amazing, wonderful, and genuinely compassionate human being. So grateful I found you and your channel!
Thanks Dee, your video is so helpful as I am yet to have treatment, your wonderful sharing your experience with us. x
Thank you for your video I just started radiation and you answered questions I didn't know I had. Good luck.
Well done Dee, you look amazing keep strong and we'll.
So informative. I am in the earliest stages but preparing for what’s to come. Thank you.
@@judithharper6731 good luck with it all ❤️❤️
So thorough you are amazing xx
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago and your videos had been soo helpful to us shes having surgery August 30
You are lovely and so helpful. Thank you for doing this.
Mad Grace thank you so much!!
So glad I came across your channel. I am similar to you, mum with young kids that's been having treatment for breast cancer. I want to thank you for being you, you are a true inspiration ❤
Amy Gomm thank you Amy for such a lovely message. Wishing you all the best! ❤️
Thank you Dee, this video helped me prepare myself for my Radiotherapy starting next week x
This video is so helpful I wished I had found it before I started this week simply because the first day was overwhelming w/a all the "laser beams" to line you up, the cameras, the machine..I got teared up not out of sadness out of nerves! So yes this helps. If you are starting rads I highly suggest this video and any preplanning meeting videos that talk about how they mark you up in prep for rads....It is sometimes helpful for some to see and know things ahead of time....
You are great. Thank you for this video.
Thank you; very informative. 💘
helpful video
You are so pretty
Thank you so much for sharing. Great video
I have finished chemo, now I go to radiation. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for making these videos of your journey. I am finishing up chemo for stage 2 invasive Ductal carcinoma & Will then have double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. I have really enjoyed your vids & helpful insights & info. It has helped me a lot!
Amy York thank you Amy! So glad to have helped. So sorry you are on the same journey - but it will all be ok in the end!
I had Invasive Lobular carcinoma and had my double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction with exspanders. I just finished chemo 2 weeks ago and I start radiation in 2 weeks for 5 1/2 weeks. I have tried so hard to be as positive as I could be, at times it's hard but I feel like if you have an awesome group of doctors,nurses and support system that awill get you through the hardest parts!
After this Dee you need a nice hol away to rest xox
k meg 😂😂
Stay strong, sending love from Slovakia

You’re so lucky that yours burns don’t hurt! I have cervical cancer and the burns are awful!
Heather Conrad I’m sure! Very different
Thank you for this video. Today i went for my 5th session of radiotherapy. The 3rd session was on a Friday , Saturday I couldn’t stop yawning I was feeling so tired. Sunday got up had some breakfast and stayed in bed all day. On my 4th session I went home around 4.30pm and straight to bed. I was told that because I had neo-adjuvant chemotherapy that’s why I am feeling tired at an early stage.
