Thanks for this. I'm nearly half way through my chemo for breast cancer. I'm 28 and it is hard but seeing people like you and how you are now honestly helps
Thank you!!! Hope you’re doing ok!!
June 11th is the 1 year anniversary of my wifes diagnosis. She is finished with her chemo treatments and post surgery at this point, oh and CANCER FREE. Stay strong and keep looking forward. There will be challenges along the way, there will be good days and bad days, but the time will come when this will all be just a distant memory. Hang in there!
I pray all is well 🙏 I too love seeing the success stories. It helped tremendously when I was going through treatment ❤️
Jesus loves you and can heal you Ms Miami17, give Him your worries He cares for you
@@williamrdawsonphotography Congratulations to your wife being cancer free! I know a cancer diagnosis is hard for everyone, not just the person going through it, but their loved ones and caregivers too. How are you doing?
I was just diagnosed with BC and am in the midst of therapy and stumbled across your videos. They are a breath of fresh air. Ty for being real.
If anyone is on this they care and may know some one who had or has some kind of cancer the video’s helped me when my wife was going through breast cancer treatment
@TanjaCole Me, too,
i know im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Russell Kasen Instablaster :)
Thank you for posting your series. Next week my wife is starting chemo and this was a great source of information for us. While her type is a bit different and the medicines will differ, seeing what you went through was a big help for us. We sat back and watched your videos from beginning to end. Helps greatly when there are so many unknowns - your documentation of the journey is a terrific gift.
I completed my 12 sessions of chemo on July 12. and had today my 2nd out of 24 sessions of radiotherapy. You are my source and guidelines for my whole Cancer journey. thank you.
LBK Adventure atbp Vblog thank you so much!!
Congratulations on completing Chemo! Check the box and good luck with your radiation! Let me know if you have any questions, I've posted some videos about radiation on my channel if you want to subscribe and check them out!
Thanks Dee for posting this video. Great to see you doing so well and good to hear that your new job is going well! Wishing you the best.
Thank you for the update Dee. You are an impressive human being....so open, so sincere, so perceptive. I have been thinking about you....so happy you are enjoying your life in spite of risk and of course we are all at risk. It's part of life. You are a light in this world and you are generous to share it with us.
Martha thank you!!!
I am so glad to see this update. Prayers for continued good reports!
Thanks for the update. I found you when I was first diagnosed this past December. Now about to start radiation after my chemo and bilateral mastectomy. Glad you put this out there - reminds me there is an end and an after!!
I will undergo a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction in 1 week for Stage 1 Ductal Carcinoma. I am a 42 yr old, single Mom of a 10 yr old boy, and a Hospice Nurse by trade for 12 years, but this is a totally different ball game when you yourself are given the diagnosis. I want to thank you for your willingness to share the good, bad, and the ugly about your journey. You have given me the power to believe! Thank you Dee! P.s. I ❤ the new hair style! XOXO (*) (*) 💃🌺🌹Molly
Dee you remind me of myself so much. You may question yourself and the value your videos and wonder if your being so honest about your experience is doing anybody any good. Let me tell you your videos and your honesty have helped me so much to go ahead with the treatments the physicians have planned for me. I have been out of my mind with fear. But your honesty and courage have strengthened me. . Thank you sweet Dee from the bottom of my heart!!
Thank you for sharing your journey Dee. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on August 31st 2018 and found your videos the week before (while waiting for diagnosis). You helped me know what to expect, even though our journeys were so different, and this kept me so much calmer. I had a lumpectomy, then chemo, then radiation. I also went on vacation to Mexico during chemo and probably would have canceled my vacation right away, but after seeing you dealing with chemo, I quickly learned I didn't need someone to hold my hand and that my life could continue. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I appreciate you so much!
Diane Newhall that is AMAZING!! Well done x thank you so much for such a lovely message! Well done Diane x
Thanks for the update, you’re looking so fantastic. Sorry to hear you’ve been in so much pain this last year. You’re such an amazing woman, great to see you looking so happy and well.
Hi! Been following your journey here on youtube. Thank God for your wellness!
Had my 3rd chemo cycle last monday.
God bless you more!
I have been thinking about you. Thanks for the update. You are a warrior
.
So happy to hear you are doing well :) I've been keeping up to date on insta anyway but its nice to watch!
Dee...thank you so very much for your videos. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last October...I’ve been through 2 surgeries (both lumpectomies), 12 rounds of chemo, bad port resulting in blood clot (2 ER visits) and 20 rounds radiation. I’m still doing Herceptin infusions every 3 weeks til January and Anastrozole for 5 years. I am feeling really good now...hair coming back (albeit white!) and my full fatigue days are fewer and farther apart. Been back to work now full time about 8 weeks!
Your videos helped me so much! You were real and that’s what I needed. Knowing what was coming in this journey made it so much easier because you shared the good and not so good.
I loved in this video where you said your ‘BC’ and ‘AC’ are so different and I couldn’t agree more! I found I was getting pessimistic, grumpy, angry and depressed BC...now I’m grateful for every day. In my journey, I journaled every morning...I was ready from a devotional and reading Scripture too...and every morning I made myself write at least 1 thing I was grateful for that brought me joy...that helped my attitude so much. Your videos made it to my ‘grateful’ list several times.
I don’t IG but may have to start...😊.
Thank you again sweet lady...keep going strong!
Barb Thorpe thank you. Hope you are well
Thank you so much for sharing! I finished all my treatment March of this year. I'm so happy for you!
Oh my God Dee it's so good to see you, I have thought of you so many times and wondered about how you are doing. You look amazing and healthy. You are so true in what you say we cancer students get a new perspective on what is good or not good for us. I have found out so many things since my diagnosis some good some really dreadful. Keep strong beautiful girl and keep posting.
Anne Carrick it’s so true x good to see you here again too!!
I'm so glad I found you. My daughter in law was just diagnoses with breast cancer. You have helped alot so far. I have been starting to watch your videos the past 2 days. So I have alot to catch up but thank-you and so thankful you are doing well. I hope you dont mind if I email you and keep following you ❤
Found your videos, going through similar cancer battle but post menopausal 63 no children. You are so lovely and I wish you a long, happy life.
You’re so amazing! Good luck for the future.
Thanks a lot, I’m going through my chemo 3rd EC cycle. Watching your videos make me feel really positive.
So delighted to hear your update and how you're doing now! I cannot tell you how much your videos helped me go through treatment even though mine was different from yours. Thank you for being so honest. Love what you said about switching jobs in this one too. xx
raspberry thank you so so much x I am so honoured ❤️
I Hope you are feeling better, may God be with you in Jesus name, He loves you,
You are an inspiration. Thanks for the update. It has also been a year since my wife was diagnosed with BC. Hope you the best!
So good to hear from you Dee, I've been wondering how you were doing. You look amazing may you continue to do well, God Bless x Helen x
I’m grateful we don’t have socialized medicine (yet) in the United States! I just had my first round (of 4) of chemo for breast cancer - surgery, radiation, and years of estrogen suppressors still ahead. My husband also has cancer (colon) and we have side-by-side chairs for our chemo treatments,. I’m so glad I stumbled on this channel and have been binge watching, plan to follow on IG also. Thank you, Dee, for putting this out there.
You look Amazing! Great to see you and thanks for the update😀
Dee it's lovely to see and hear from you. You are looking amazing! Wishing you a very happy and health life. You are an inspiration and I will look forward to your next u tube video in 6 months time as I don't know anything about instergram and am currently going through chemotherapy for actually ovarian cancer. I had been thinking about you alot and soooooo amazing you updated thank you for that xx
Deborah Meyers best of luck to you Deborah! Stay strong and thank you for your lovely message
I've been watching your videos to get a handle on how best to help my daughter (17) thru her experience with cancer and I wanted to tell you that your videos have value. Genuine value. Thank you for sharing your experience and telling us what worked and what didn't. You're a Rockstar kid! Stay strong!
17!? 😥😥 Wishing her the best of luck.. far far too young ☹️
She had what we thought was a stomach bug, couldn’t keep food down, had a mild temp. We took her to the local walk in and they sent us to hospital for imaging. The hospital sent us to a specialist who ordered surgery for the very next morning. 18# tumor removed along with one ovary and 3 lymph nodes. Now she has chemo 5 days on, 14 days off for the next 3 months.
In 48 hours we went from thinking it’s a stomach bug to emergency surgery to remove this huge tumor that displaced all her organs. Crazy stuff.
Hi Dee, you inspire! all through your journey there was always a smile or a joke. Keep up with the happines. I wish you health and thank you for sharing your experience.
Korallenriff S thank you! Yes trying to keep those happy vibes!
Hi Dee i often think of you as I am going through chemo still have 3 left. I’m so happy to hear you are so open to sharing your journey & that you’re in a good place right now in your life. I too have had to learn to cope with the ever changing stage in your life when you are told you have cancer. I couldn’t even say it until I learned to accept it and move forward with surgery and treatments. I had my bilateral mastectomy first then a month after started chemo. I have the 6 rounds but halfway done. I admire your positivity I believe it is key to getting through all of it for sure! I want to share with you regarding capsular contracture can be helped with boosting your immune system & detoxing your blood. Since it occurs as a response of the immune system to foreign materials in the human body. Medically, it occurs mostly in context of the complications from breast implants or artificial prosthetics. That’s a really long time to be on a waiting list! I’ve learned this has happened to many but there are steps you can take to help your body heal instead out. Much love to you my dear & keep your head up. We’re all here rooting for you! Take Care 💗💗
Monique T Thanks lovely xx
Sending love and light your way while you go through treatment! It was definitely nice to hear survival stories when I was going through treatment ❤️
Your videos helped me so much in my journey. Thank you for sharing your story, it changed the way my year went in more ways than you will ever know. Xo
That is so lovey x thank you!!!!
Very brave and beautiful. So glad your treatment has finished x
Dee, great to see you looking so well, and healthy! Short hair suits you so much! ❤️ How fast have these last 12 months gone? Surgery is 12 months ago tomorrow for me! 👏🏼I’m still waiting on more surgery but I know it’ll happen in the next couple of months. Life slowly but surely getting back to normal, even tho I’m still not back to work. Need to take inspiration from you and hit the gym too, as your looking FAB!
So very glad to see you here, and that you're doing so much better. (Your experience with medical teams and staff is really dreadful and I was thankful, as you explained, that things improved. But, Jeesh! How nervy and stressful all of their responses were!) Be well! Be 'out there' and 'get action" (as our former President Teddy Roosevelt said, when things were tough), and have a marvelous life! Best wishes!
I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST HEALTH! ❤
Hello lovley, still so glad to see you, you looking absolutely beautiful and bubbly good luck for the future
Your smile and laughter is everything.
Renee Morris thank you
I just had my first of 8 chemo treatments 3 days ago and I feel fine but thanks for this! You look gorgeous!
I’ve just watched this Dee, ive followed you from day one, you really look amazing, actually glowing. And It’s amazing how an illness can make you view life so differently....life is too short x I’ve just found a lump and waiting for a mammogram and ultrasound, positive thinking for me, until I know the outcome. Love to you and your onward journey, go make lots of happy memories with you little ones xx
Liz clark best of luck to you x I hope it is nothing sinister ... but there is life after all of this x big hugs
Ofcourse she look amasing.She use a lot of makeup.
Hello beautiful
You are such an amazing awesome brave resilient adorable vulnerable thoughtful funny cheeky cheerful person.
I am twice your age ,probably, but you have taught me so much without even trying. I have binge watched your channel today due to back problem induced bedrest.
I wish you the best of everything you want for yourself. I don't do Instagram, sadly, however I will keep checking your TH-cam channel just in case.
Sending you and your family lots of love x
So happy for this. I’m in the middle of my journey and your videos are the best. I follow you on insta but I love a 20 min video girl. You look amazing! ❤️
MissTiaPet haha!! Thank you .... hope all is going well for you!!
You gave me hope n strength for fighting the battle.. your videos are really helpful to me... stay healthy n happy...
Thanka for the update...found out my Dad has stage 2 cancer in February...as recent as his last PET scan NO cancer...your videos were so helpful...
Veedo Thinking Out Loud NO CANCER since Feb!?!? Amazing!! Lovely to hear x big hugs to you both
Thank you for this update!
Thanks a million for sharing your story Dee! Absolutely brilliant. My wife was diagnosed on May 9th this year. Estrogen+ and HER2/neu positive, Nottingham score of 3. Chemo with antibodies began this past week. Wishing you all the best.

genuinely inspirational.
Stay healthy and thank you for all your videos.
You look fantastic and I’m so happy for you! 🇺🇸🌸🌸🙏🏼🌸🌸🇺🇸
So happy that you are doing Well.
I was just diagnosed in June. Your TH-cam videos and Instagram have helped me so much! Thank SO MUCH you for this! I just went to have a look at your Instagram again and find that your page is no longer there. I truly hope it's just a snafu and you are OK.
Videos like hers is what inspired me to upload a video on my experience. The success stories helped me soooo much during treatment! Blessings to you!
I have capsular contracture from mastectomy. It hurts me all the time, but even though it's been years since my cancer, I STILL don't want to be a patient again. Im so glad you are well.
Andrea Harris yeah I understand that!! It’s so difficult to become a “patient” again after it all ... being normal is so much better
Soo glad you are doing well and you look so well . A Dublin lass living in Australia xx
I was in Ireland during that heat wave blissfully unaware that I had breast cancer! Glad to see you are doing so well. You look fantastic!
Maeceea59 oh goodness x hope you are ok now
@@DeeDoherty I was in Ireland the first 3 weeks of June 2018 (Lovely country by the way!) I was diagnosed in Feb. 2019 after my regular mammogram. I felt nothing! Had a lumpectomy end of March. Just had my 1st chemo a week ago today! I feel great. No side effects as yet! We've got this!
Thank you for sharing your story as for myself I am so scare I have a lump on my Breast I pray to God that I will be okay going to see a doctor tomorrow Blessing and prayers going out to everyone that is Diagnosed with B.C and any kind of cancer🙏❤
Dee, You were such a help to me last year when I was going through treatment (at the same time as you). Your videos and instagram helped me get through the whole thing. Thank you so much! You are looking gorgeous :) Best wishes
Marilinaa thank YOU!!
WOW! YOU LOOK GREAT!! YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO CUTE! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! YOU ARE SMILING! YOU SEEM HAPPY! WHAT A WONDERFUL THING TO SEE! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. 😃😃😃
Hi Dee! You look great! I’m about to shave my head after my first AC treatment and I’ve been watching all your videos. It’s nice to see life AFTER cancer... a reminder that things do go on. 💞 Love from Canada.
Oh! And if you ever made a video about your experience with Tamoxifen it would be appreciated. I’m scheduled for 10 yrs too.
I take Aromasin but yes I’ll update on that at some stage x
Hi Brittany from another Brittany! Lol
Best of luck on your journey! Things may be a bit scary but there is a light at the end of the tunnel 💛. I'm 6 months out from my last treatment 💪
I hope you are doing well ms dee. I also diagnosed ladt may 2019 of BC stage 2A HER2 +. Just finished my chemo for 17 rounds, surgery and radiation i feel the same I always worried and nervous if is this cancer? when i feel something hurt in my body Thank you ms dee for sharing your cancer journey very good video. You make me strong and think positive
Trapped in your own mind/life... that is EXACTLY how I felt before I was diagnosed. I was burnt out. I needed time out but I never dreamed it would be because of this. I thought I'd have a break because I was trying to conceive before my diagnosis. That's the biggest thing that has just torn me apart. I so badly wanted a child but knew something wasn't quite right. I felt fatigued, dizzy, hot flushes, nausea, terrible menstrual cycles that were all over the place/very heavy and severe pain in my shoulder up to my neck and down my left arm right through my middle finger.
Thanks for sharing your journey 😀🙏🏻
love you dee
thankyou
I was diagnosed in Feb, 2 ops done and my next hurdle is chemo which starts next week, your videos have helped me so much through my journey so far and seeing how well you look will inspire me to carry on fighting, thank you xxx
She is a gem💎 inspiring stories like hers inspired me to share mine. Sending prayers your way 🙏
I am glad you are doing well. You are so pretty.
Joan Potanko not really! I put on a tonne of make up and only film on my good days xx
I’d been fighting my own breast cancer battle last year, so I stayed away from TH-cam for several months. I completed the chemo in December. The holidays are my favorite time of year, so not indulging in them was so difficult for me. Like you, my memory from that time is practically non-existent. Things I thought happened, didn’t, and vice versa. Thankfully, The Husband has been gradually filling me on the blanks. The worst was that one of our cats passed away during my recovery, of which I don’t remember much. He told me this over a month or so ago, but finally had my breakdown this morning...
MLTB 😭😭 I’m sorry. You’ve been to hell and back ... it’s an awful thing.
Dee i wanted to find the Black cap you talked about . I wanted to get it for my daughter but not tall her but have it just in case. Thank you so much ❤
So glad things went well for you,thank you Jesus, and glad you are doing well
I just finished chemo a month ago! Thanks for the update!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! Chemo is no joke. I did 6 rounds and had the "red devil"
Dear Dee,
Thank you for sharing your journey. I start my therapy (chemo) soon. I took in all your tips in overcoming the side affects and order a few things on amazon. I thank you for sharing your light.
With love - Lila 🌸
Lila Riki thank you love x best of luck
Lila Riki wish you well in your journey! 💪🏽💪🏽
Dee Doherty thank you 😊
Stacy Andrews thank you so much 😊
Good luck with your treatment! Keep us posted on how you are doing.
Lovely to see this video so happy and looking beautiful you are one amazing lady ❤🌹🌈🤗😚
You look beautiful stay healthy stay happy and live long
Praying ❤
You look amazing ❤️
Thanks for the update, glad you seem to be doing well! Just curious as to why your doctors say you're high-risk?
Jill Mitchell-Holmes my age, I was stage three, the amount of lymph nodes... then after surgery it was much larger than they had anticipated.... into the chest wall etc
You look good 😊so happy for you
Thank you
Beautiful inside and out you are
WOW!! u look GOOODDDD!!! U LOOK LIT GAL!!!! thank you for all the tips ::)))
Dee Doherty. Love you
I have been watching your journey since I was diagnosed last month and you are such an inspiration. I am
Scared to death but I will beat this. Your sons are adorable too. Thanks for sharing all you shared.
Linda Craig thank you Linda x I hope you’re coping ok!!
@@DeeDoherty Well its tough as you well know. I haven't started Chemo yet. I was just starting to cope with losing my husband to cancer last November. So double wammy. Hope you are doing well
Hi Linda, Im sorry you husband passed, I hope you have a support network around you to help you through that experience and this one your about to undergo. I too have breast cancer and lymph node cancer in the armpit. I was diagnosed just before you I think and just had my first chemo on the 17th June. Its normal to be scared in fact I was so nervous having my first chemo that they gave me a mild sedative ! Also if your like me & cant retain all the info they give you buy a large diary and write down nurse/ doc contacts and other info, its helps. One bit of advice I can give you is IF your treatment is going to constipate you, buy prune juice NOW & drink 2 litres of water each day. I was given colloxyl with senna to take 2 morn & 2 nightly - it didn't work. I suffered 5 days of chronic constipation & I ended up having a enema & a dose of Lactulose ( which went through me like Draino). I dont want that to happen to you. A usa doctor on TH-cam recommends a shot of warmed prune juice at night before you go to bed. Now Im eating canned/ fresh pears and apple, sauteed vegies of pumpkin, sweet potato, red capsicum, mushrooms & zucchini in my diet too. My next chemo is July 8th. I hope you are ok & believe that you can get through this like Im doing just taking each day as it comes. If you want to write to me, let me know & we can go through this journey together. Im Lisa, 58 yo and live in Pakenham Melbourne Australia. I wish you all the very best love. take care Lisa x
Hi Lisa thank you so much. After losing my husband and getting all of his affairs settled in March I thought i could finally relax and try find some resemblance to my new normal life then April right around my birthday all this stated up. With Covid 19 I couldn't find a dr for about a week and was hurting pretty bad so i went o urgent care and that when everything got started with Mamograms Biopsies . Not a very good birthday present at all. I have triple positive stage 4. yes I have a good support system my son and my 2 younger sisters. one live here close to me and the other lies about 2.5 hours away but we talk almost every day. Sounds like out Chemo schedules are about a day apart. My 1st one was June 16 and second cycle will be July . I would love for us to go thru this journey together than neither of us wants to go through but we have to. I know I will always need treatment but my goal is remission. I am not quite as young as you i turned 65 but i have lots of living yet to do. take care and please keep in touch.
@@lindacraig5056 Well you have been through a lot already, good to hear you have family around you. My sister lives in Queensland & I miss her so. I have no other surviving family other than cousins (interstate) and my own family, husband Alan and my son 28 and daughter 25 who both live about 45 mins from us. Where are you from? you didn't say. Catch you soon Lisa x
You look really nice. Makeup looks fresh, the colours suit you.
Ruth E Randoms thank you! I’m sure it’s just good lighting
I hope and pray I can have an amazing testimony like yours sweetie! I’ll know more this coming Friday Nov 13, 2020, on the type and my upcoming treatment etc. keep me in your prayers.
Your a beautiful young lady inside and out, God bless you DEE i will keep you in my prayers, we will just all agree together that your cancer free for eternity, Lord please touch this beautiful young lady and restore her completely Father we ask in our Lord Jesus name that all cancers be crushed and heard of no more. Lord you’re our great healer and our physician all things can be done through you, we know that theres no drug or doctor that can heal as you do Father our faith is in you,please guide and direct all doctors with the knowledge to treat and take care of your children. In Jesus name we pray for healing, cure, strength! Amen🙏🙏🙏😘
