What Lead to My Cancer Diagnosis | 4 WARNING Signs I Missed

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.พ. 2021
- One of the big questions I get asked is "how did you find out you have cancer?".
I will be sharing the steps that led to my diagnosis, but not only that... I will let you in on the 4 WARNING signs I was not aware of, that I believe could have led to detecting my tumor earlier.
My hope is to spread awareness for early detection for both men and women.
Thank you so much for joining me. I look forward to connecting with you more!
All the best,
Chelsey

Hi Chelsey. I am a 65 year old woman who was just diagnosed with breast cancer in early November with Lobular Invasive Carcinoma after a biopsy. I was told it was a small mass in my right breast and I forget the size but it was stage 1. I didn't even know from previous mammograms that I also had a tumor in the left breast, but this one was benign, so that told me not to worry. BUT, BUT, BUT, just to be sure, let's get a MRI. A week later, they told me they were wrong. The right breast has a very large tumor (once again I don't remember the size 4 cent, millimeters) I guess I totally black out hearing the sizes, and now I am told I need a mascetomy on the right breast. I can recall always having some feeling of a throb in that breast, but like you, I am a fitness advocate and I thought it had something to do with muscle strain. Only just in recent weeks, after my diagnosis, am I now feeling sharp pains, as if someone just ran by and poked a needle in my breast. My mother and her sister died so it's in the genes I hear and our breast tissue is so dense. I am now on pre-chemo (hormone therapy) for the next few months to see if the tumor shrinks. Please send me some prayers and love and light. It would be much appreciated, and my sons thank you all as well!
Yes send me any videos that change my mind right now..
Also please tell me how to overcome the pain, what you did when you had chemo?
Hi Cheryl, Im so sorry for your recent diagnosis. However I am happy that you got an MRI "just to be sure"! Thank you so much for sharing your story! That is so interesting that you felt the sharp pains too! I hope the hormone therapy does exactly what they want it too. Taking some time right after this message to send some positive healing energy, prayers, light and love. Ill be thinking of you
@@ChelseyTarnow Thank you so much Chelsea. May you continue on your path 🙏 I'll keep you in my prayers 🙏 ❤ as well!
@@cbarnette56 I appreciate that so much❤! Thank you🙏. All the best to you🕊
@@ChelseyTarnow back at ya!
One symptom that made me know something was off about my health was extreme fatigue. No matter how much I slept, I was always really tired. I then found the lump during a self exam.
I'm so sorry you found a lump (but happy you found it since it was there). Thank you for sharing the symptom you noticed🙏, the more awareness we all have the better. Hoping you are doing well💕
Omg. I'm feeling that right now.
Great work my beautiful wife! Very good information to help bring awareness for others.
Thank you so much my love! Awareness is everything! I hope to pass it along so others can benefit from my experience.
what a wonderful husband you are!
Lovely
What about a pinching,sharp sensation on the breast
I had stabbing in my left breast and still have them. Had an exam and they found Phyllodes and some calcification. They removed the phyllode and I am to come back in 6 months. It was not cancerous.
I am so so happy to hear that! Good on you for being so aware! Thank you for sharing🙏
About 3 months ago I started to feel a stinging stabbing sensation in my right breast. I've had a "cyst" for years but I've never had it monitored or looked at. I finally got a mammogram with ultrasound a few weeks ago, they told me it's just a cyst and I have dense breasts and tried
to lean me towards monitoring it every 6 months. However, I requested a biopsy. It should be scheduled within the next few days. Ladies, please advocate for yourselves. You don't necessarily have to go by the doctors suggestions.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing your story🙏. I totally agree that it's important to advocate for yourself for more testing if you feel like something is off. I had a similar experience with the ultrasound and mammogram reporting a cyst, like you I asked for a biospy. They thought it was unnecessary, but I was thankful they performed it anyways. Also thankful they were right in this case. Sending some postive vibes you way right now for a clear biospy. Thank you again for sharing. Xo
How did it go?
Just wondering if all was okay?
I’m 22 and I’m also diabetic so I have pain in my body all the time but I’ve also been feeling the same pain you described for the past 2 years but because I’ve been on my own since 15 I can’t afford anything 😢when I had a car accident and lost it all they send me to get a ultrasound (I was still to young for a mammogram) and never heard anything back… pain has gotten worse and I do t know what to do 😩😩
❤❤❤❤🙏🏾
This is a constant abuse of the system; being told we are "too young" to look into things! Not ok. Many get very sick without symptoms at all. I've had symptoms for over a decade and doctors haven't given me many answers, hardly any tests done. My grandmother died from metastasizing cancer, at 50 years old. Yet that doesn't count according to health providers when asked about genetic possibility.
I finally have a doctor that cares and is willing to take time to look into things. Selfishly I am sad to think of losing her when she becomes a mother! 😢 But I'm getting as many tests done as I can now! 😅 She's been shocked how much I've had problems even documented from previous scans, that weren't further analyzed. I didn't know what to tell her, forgetting how it became expected for so long to be shoved aside.
Let alone tests aren't 100%, people and tech is fallible. When I got a breast scan for highly dense breasts, the very young technician looked confused most the time, and then quickly kicked me out without letting me see any doctor.
At my next appointment, my PCP (previous one that was careless) asked ME if my results were good- how should I know?! Lol They said they would tell my doctor if I had any issues.
When I was a child I had doctors mix up my chart and my records with other patients which resulted in improper healing of a broken bone when they gave me the wrong advice.
It's a real mess. And now we pay more than ever and it takes so long. Perpetuating stress which worsens every illness and disease.
Thankful to brave souls that carry on beyond the struggle! ❤❤❤ And grateful for the wonderful medical professionals that genuinely care about making a positive difference!!!
Holy smokes, I'm so saddened to hear your experience with the medical system. It breaks my heart when I think of people not getting the treatment/attention they need, when they need it and especially when they ask for it. Good for you for continuing to speak up and get the testing you want! Sending many positive vibes your way💕💫💕!!!
I am 38yrs old just diagnosed with triple negative stage 3 breast cancer. My lump was very round, smooth edges and my obgyn wouldn’t do further testing as I was pregnant at the time but I kept pushing every month for further testing, at least an ultra sound and he would just say we’ll just wait till the baby is born. Well after baby was born lump grew in size almost tripled, went from the size of a blueberry to the size of a small apple. So I went to a different doctor and finally testing was done.. I’m really tired of doctors not listening to us and just brushing these things off especially with my family’s history of breast cancer and the BRCA2 gene mutation which this obgyn knew.. anyway I didn’t think anything of the lump since it was round and smooth, I wasn’t having any other signs either like inverted nipple, discharge etc.. please push for mammograms , they are finally doing them at age 40 now. I’m going through neoadjuvant chemo (chemo before mastectomy) therapy and immunotherapy. My lump is almost gone now! I love my tan of doctors for my cancer care, finally I have doctors that are listening. I’m about to do the bilateral mastectomy etc abs I have a now 8month old plus 4 older children so it’s been difficult. God bless!
Hi there💕! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your story🙏🙏! I'm am so so saddened to hear that you had to push so hard to be heard, that isn't right. However, I'm so happy that you continued to advocate for yourself, and you are finally receiving the care that you need. Congratulations on your new little babe too💗! Sending so much love and strength as you fight through your treatment. You've got this💪💪!!!
Praying for you mama
I didn’t have a lump but firmness and I finally decided to get examined . I was sent to Kamloops for my first mammogram and ultrasound at 52 years old ( yep should’ve done this way sooner ) and the same day I was told I had cancer and would need a mastectomy and scheduled for a biopsy . I have both invasive micro papillary carcinoma and a large amount of DCIS . February 2 is my unilateral mastectomy . My advice to women is to get yearly mammograms ,I wish I had sooner . Thank you for your videos .
Thank you so much for sharing Jamie♡. I'm so sorry for your recent diagnosis, but also thankful you found it when you did. I've been to Kamloops for testing and I very much appreciate the same day results. My heart goes out to you as you process this diagnosis and prepare for surgery, I'll be sending positive healing vibes to you right after this message. Xo💌🕊
Thanks for sharing.
I felt a sharp stinging sensation in my right breast one evening just as I was going to bed, when I put my hand to the area I felt a small irregular lump. I made a doctors appointment that week and was referred to a breast surgeon, I had a mammogram, ultra sound and biopsy and was diagnosed 2 weeks later with stage 1 grade 3 HER2 positive breast cancer. I’m just glad I acted as quickly as I did.
You acted so quickly! Good for you! I love that you first noticed something was different in your body then took control and got it checked out right away! I'm sorry you were right, but also thankful you got right on it♡. Thank you for sharing🙏
I've had a small lump in my breast for awhile now, I've had mri, ultrasounds and was told I should have it biopsied, but then ultrasound people said it's too small to biopsy 🤷♀️ still have the lump, see my breast surgeon next week. See how that appointment goes, I might demand to have it biopsied. As my ultrasound was told it was irregular.
@@wild.beautifulchaos1638 Shoot, I'm sorry to hear this Jessica. If you are concerned about it I would say go with your gut and try to get the biopsy. I was told mine was too small once too, but in the end I was persistent (later in my journey) and they found a way to make it happen. Good luck with your appointment next week, I hope you can get all the answers and support you need
@@ChelseyTarnow thank you.
I also hope you a well? Sending you healing vibes 💖🙏
@@wild.beautifulchaos1638 Thank you so much, I appreciate that! Yes my health has been good, thank you.
Yes, I had stabbing pain, like snapping your finger and it would be gone. Happened a few times over a few months. Also, my 2 nodules felt like a large stone about the size of a pinto bean or a jelly bean. They did remove the lumps and some tissue around it--diagnosis was invasive mucinous carcinoma..also removed two lymph glans negative, thank you Jesus. I am 69 and soon to be 70, so I chose not to get more treatment. My nodules were in the left breast next to my breast bone so, that put my treatment to be over my heart and lung and the treatment can be bad sometimes for your heart and - lungs so I chose to pray they got it all. I would recommend for people to learn all you can if you can handle it ! That way you can make a better choice. Doctors just don't have the time (and some just don't want to) to tell you everything. I hope and believe I chose right .... if not then it won't be my 1st mistake..haha. PLEASE EVERYBODY, LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE IF YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WRONG PUSH TO GET ANSWERS. until your satisfied !
THANK YOU for sharing Wanda🙏!!! I've heard so many people say the stabbing pain! Good on you for educating yourself and making the best decision for you. Sending positive vibes to you tonight! And I totally agree... Keep pushing for answers if you feel something is wrong!
@@ChelseyTarnow I would like to know if anyone else has had a problem with their upper arm enlarging on the side their surgery is on. . Mine was left breast and now my arm is 7" larger than my right one. Doc says not from the surgery... just because I gain some weight. I am leaning towards lymphedema.I hope it's not.
@@wandalanders8700 I'm sorry to hear this Wanda. I'm not a doctor or specialist, but like you what cams to mind for me was lyphedemia. I have heard of it happening post surgery. I've heard of massage therapists or physiotherapists with extra training in that area... check in for a second opinion from a specialized practitioner maybe? Sorry I can't be more helpful. I hope you can find an answer!
Unfortunately, I was not self-aware and did not notice the lump in my breast. My first symptom was back pain that did not ease over many months. My spinal CT led quickly to contrast MRI and then full body PET scan that confirmed malignancy in my spine but also detected a primary breast cancer and lymph node involvement. Biopsy on my breast, lymph node, and spine confirmed metastatic breast cancer. Diagnosed denovo and about to start treatment. Thank you for posting your thoughtful and informative videos.
Hi, thank you for sharing. My heart goes out to you and I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I do want to say that though you may not have noticed a lump in your breast, you did notice and choose check out the pain in your back which lead to finding it when you did. I hope these videos help you in some way along your journey. Thinking of you and sending so many positive vibes for you in your fight💌💫💪
I'm so sorry. Are you receiving treatment? Where was your back pain? How often did you feel it?
Such important information. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Becky
Thank you for the information...your a strong lady
Thank you so much for being here with me Lorrie🙏. I was so blindsided by this diagnosis I want to share my experience so others aren't💕. Thank you for your kind words🌷
Thank you so much for your kindness for sharing the awareness. We wish you best luck
Thank you so much🙏❤! I hope this video can help others🌷
Such a brave girl Chels. Thx for sharing this very important info.
Thank you so much Pat❤! I appreciate your encouragement🙏!
I only had an intuition that I needed a mamogram. I had not had one in 6 years. I did breast exams and didn't feel any lumps. Then the pandemic hit and I couldn't get a mamogram. I was delayed in getting that mamogram I wanted for 8 months. When I went I felt so sure I was healthy. I have no one with breast cancer in my family. I received a letter telling me they found an abnormality in my mamogram and I needed a 2nd mamogram and ultrasound. After the the 2nd mamogram the radiologist came out to speak to me and said I have a suspicious mass of 1 centimeter. I had to get a biopsy. She wanted me to make the appointment then and there. I had an inability to comprehend all of this and decide on that biopsy right away. I was scared out of my wits. I made an appt with my gyn and asked her for a referral to a surgical oncologist. That is how my cancer journey began. It's traumatizing and you can't believe it. I'm so sorry you have gone through this. You are very brave. We must be brave. We have no choice.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Good on you for listening to your intuition and doing your best to get in as soon as you could. I totally understand when you said when you heard you had "thr inability to comprehend", I felt the same way... almost like what the doctor was saying wasn't real. Sending you much strength and resilience moving forward. You've got this💪💕.
I had Stage 3 bc … successfully treated 15-years ago but if I would have paid attention I could have had less intervention … losing weight without trying … I dropped 12-lbs in 3 months without trying and I also had extreme fatigue - I would get the boys off to school in the morning at at 9:39am I felt like I had done the night shift at a factor - I was so exhausted. Still I didn’t think much about it.
I'm so happy to hear you were successfully treated! Thank you for sharing your experience and the signs your body gave you looking back. It's so hard to know what to look for when you don't know you are supposed to be looking for something.
A week ago i felt something on my breast like a lump and went doc 3 days ago did B UTZ, today the result came 11 0clock lump was seen and no diagnosed yet doc requested to do labs test, MRI and biospy(waiting for schedule) Pls pray for me. Thank Ms Chels for sharing this❤❤.
Good on you for being so diligent and going to the doctor right away! Sending so many prayers and positive vibes your way🙏💫💕!!!
@@ChelseyTarnow 🙏🙏❤❤❤ i need that pray Ms Chels thank you so much
So glad they were able to get you treated when you did and glad you have great people in your life that can support you through it.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I feel very blessed for the wonderful people in my life🙏
With everything my son and I have been through Doctors do not always know what they are doing and go with your feeling and have faith and pray about it. All of our foods have chemicals that cause cancers. Research the chemicals. It's horrible. God bless you for testimony.
I'm sorry you and your son have been going through so much. Yeah, I've learned through this to continue to speak up for my health if I don't feel good or right about something. Thank you for sharing. Sending positive vibes your way tonight💫
Thank you so much for the information ❤❤❤ I appreciated a lot
The pleasure is mine❤! I hope it was helpful for you🌷
Hi Chelsey, Thank you for sharing your story. My experience was different I really can't say I had anything that was a sign or that something was going on. I was suppose to have my yearly Mamo and Breast Ultra Sound around on April 1, 2022 which would be exactly a year since my last one. My doctor does my yearly exams as a Diagnostic Mamogram which will include the 3D Mamo and Full Breast Ultra Sound because I have very dense breast tissue. Fortunately I put it off for almost 2 months and didn't have it done till May 25, 2022 this was also because the place where I have it done was fully booked until that timeframe. Had I had it done in April it may not have been seen because it was too small and I almost was not going to go that day because my stomach was a little upset, but I thought about how long it took to get that appointment so I made myself go. The first part was the mamo and when the tech came back she said she needed to take more images at that moment I became worried. Then they took me to have the breast ultra sound done. My breasts have always been tender and at times sore if they get bumped or whatever. So the Radiologist came in and told me they found something suspicious on my Right Breast at 2 O'Clock but they couldn't find it by Ultra Sound so I wondered if there was a mistake like the tech that did the Mamo didn't completely flatten and smooth out my breast which would cause a very bad look on the imaging I know this because it has happened before causing unnecessary stress. So I called the office manager and asked if I could come in for a couple of more images for my piece of mind. She got me in the next day in the afternoon I met with a very nice Radiologist Doctor and she had the Mamo 3D Image blown up about 500 times and told me " This is NOT going to change and that it was classic for cancer " the edges were starred and jagged. She told me lets try to find it on the ultra sound and they did. They didn't find it the day before because the tech was looking at 8 O'Clock how is that for confidence? The other tech found it right away she had to press very hard and it did hurt at 2 O'Clock. Then the Radiologist came in she found it and said "Oh NO this is not good it has a Halo and a blood supply" I just started crying. At that time an ALARM went off in my mind and I was on a mission to get that thing out ASAP I did not want to go thru the process of having a Core Biopsy AND something they say they have no proof of is that by going in and POKING at that tissue and pulling on it , making it bleed , when it's cancer I believe that would have not been a good idea and would have SPREAD it. So I went right away to a surgeon and asked him to get it out via surgically and then have it biopsied. He told me then this is not the standard generally patients come to him with a Diagnosis and I said "It's MY BODY and I want to do it this way !! " He explained that I was skipping a step and I said yes I understand and he said he respects that and that I may need to have another surgery to do a Sential Biopsy and if they don't clear the margins also having to go in and remove more tissue. Unfortunately after having my surgery on June 27th the pathologic report showed that I have Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Grade Two but the good news was that he got it ALL and the Margins were all Clear !!! I also had access to my ultra sound report from the day of my surgery where they did the localized Wire procedure so I found out by looking at the amended report on June 30th the surgeon did call me later that evening to tell me but my mind went blank and was already in shock no one told me nicely about this at all but in the back of my mind I kind of knew but was hoping and praying it was not . I would like to share that I asked my regular MD to request a Second Opinion on my Pathology Report which I am waiting on. I didn't know you could do that especially for something so very Important mistakes do happen and they are human. I will be having my part two surgery this weds I hope that I got that taken out before it went to the lymph nodes they will be doing a Sentinal Lymph Node Biopsy Sorry for the long story but I hope it might help someone at least with the Second Opinion on the Pathology Report ....
Don't be sorry AT ALL for sharing! Your story is incredibly eye opening ans empowering! You did so many things that led to you getting the cancer out asap. I love that you are fighting for what feels right for you, your body and your health. I hope that everything went well this Wednesday ans nothing was found in your nodes🙏. Thank you again for sharing, your knowledge ans experience is powerful. Sending so many healing vibes💫💌 and vibes for no more cancer!
@@ChelseyTarnow Hi Chelsey, No it didn't go well I ended up having two surgeries back to back. While recovering from the first surgery only 1 hour after waking up I started to feel a very sharp pain on my upper right breast. Finally one of the surgeons checked me and he said I am sorry but you are going to have to have another surgery. They missed a Blood Vessel so I was internally bleeding. The good news is that my Doctor/Surgeon yesterday said I was cancer free. I am very sore from have two surgeries They only found or took two Sentinal Lymph nodes both were benign That was pretty scary
@@zoeyowi OH my gosh that is SO scary! I'm happy that it was caught early and in the end the most incredible news... cancer free!!!! I hope that you can now move forward, heal up quickly and for good💓
Thank Chels for advocating, much appreciated 🙏🏿 and God bless your heart for sharing this vital information, My name's Anna and I am 46 now & I have been in & out of the doctors regarding my irregular flowers, however, there aren't any good direction & advice to me from the doctors, I however, felt my left breast was a little bigger than the right breast so decided to go see another doctor & asked for a mammogram, this is my first time & am waiting on the doctor's advise on the results. Looking forward to do awareness to all women folks after taking this bold step & seeing your video. ❤
Good on you for noticing the changes in your body and getting a mammogram to be sure all is well🙏. Thinking of you tonight and I truly hope by now you've recieved good news❤
Thanks Chelsea ❤️, I went for an ultrasound and was cleaned however am still waiting on the other doctor's mammogram test results. ❤
@@luiatarum6657 Amazing👏🥳!!! Thank you for letting me know! I hope you've recieved the same from your mammogram!
Last year i found a large hard lump in my armpit…
I remember feeling some pain in my left breast and armpit, but never thought anything of it. Went to doctor had a mammogram, ultrasound, then a few days later had a biopsy. Ended up being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at age 33.
Thank you for sharing🙏. My heart goes out to you💕. You are not alone🫂.
I'm around your age and just found a lump in my armpit! I pray you're okay I'm definitely going in now.
I’m 34 and was diagnosed last month. You’re definitely not alone and I’m praying the best for all of us! Stay encouraged! We will get through this! 💗
Hi!Good evening from Japan.I was just diagnosed of breast cancer a week ago and got across to your channel.One sign I remember was a sharp pain in my left breast that I ignored too as I thought was just a fatigue from work.A newbiee here,thank you!
Hi friend
5 cm cancer and throbing pains are a sign for a very advanced cancer with a really bad prognosis for life...I don't know what happened to you since then as that video is 2 years old, but I'm pessimist about the outcome and almost afraid to check. But I will eventually, hope you're still with us and feeling good.
Alive and well🙏
Awnnn soooo glad to know I was wating for you to reply to this comment
Love u
I haven't had a mammogram in a few yrs. Told I have fibrous breasts. When I drink caffeine seems to have more lumps that go away. I started having pain in my left shoulder 9 months ago and I was lifting stuff and had ran over something with my car that affected left side of car so I thought it was muscles tensed up. Had an XRay done of shoulder and blood work done in ER to try to out rule other causes. They said .everything looks fine and referred me to a bone Dr. I did not have insurance but continued to have pain daily for the last 9 months all in that shoulder but I have had occasional pain in my breasts too..The pain seems to be more around my neck and collarbone. I have seen two Drs that both said..they think it's soft tissue related.. I really think I need an ultrasound or a mammogram.. I am a strong believer in Jesus so..whatever happens I am not scared but I would appreciate prayers! I am 51 with a 21 yr old daughter and an 18 yr old daughter..🫣
My mother was diagnosed at 44. Similar to your story she experienced heavier periods and shorter circles (21 days) around one year prior to her diagnosis.
Thank you for sharing❤. That's very interesting she had a similar experience. I hope she is healthy and doing well🙏🌷
Thank you for sharing dear. This is very important information. I did my mammogram 6 months ago . My doctor asked to do MRI this week so,I watched your ready to MRI video. Thank you again to sharing your experience.
The pleasure is mine! Thank you for watching💓. I hope you found the MRI video helpful. Sending postive vibes for your screening Chathurani🕊
Thanks for those tips and the butter audio visual was good too
So happy to share. I'm glad you found it helpful. Wishing you all the best🌷💫
Thanks Chelsey 🙏
Awe, you are so welcome Sanzara! Thank you for being here with me
I had mild flu like symptoms (just not like myself) but figured it was due to age.... as my spouse always was complaining about the aches of getting old..... then as tenderness started where the lump was I thought maybe one of my small grandbabies somehow kicked me there when I picked them up. I had had a mammogram six months earlier and had received the all clear, see you in two years letter, so I downplayed that my body was telling me something was wrong.....I was trying not to worry but after a month of monitoring I made an appointment with my doctor. The lump was smooth and didn’t move, I remember calling it a mass, rather then a lump at the time.
Thank you for sharing! The mild flu like symptoms are so interesting, I don't remember you telling me that before. I'm so so so darn happy you listened to your body even after just getting the "all clear". You are one amazing woman and unbelievably strong fighter! Lot's of love to you! xo
I have a lump on both breast and got a call the same day as my mammogram to schedule an ultrasound biopsy tomorrow. I pray everything is ok! Everything has been urgent from the Dr sign so it scares me. I’m only 42 and I have almost every sign you’re talking about.
Thinking of you today. I hope that the signs are just a coincidence and after making sure everything comes back OK. Sending positive thoughts your way💫🙏
Hope you are doing well
Thank you for sharing your experience.We women sometimes ignore our health n body.Lots of love n hugs for you❤️❤️
It's so true, we tend to put others first or listen when told nothing is wrong. I've definitely learned my lesson. I now continuously speak up when I have a concern until I'm heard. Better safe than sorry!
Hope you are feeling better ❤
Thank you so much🙏💕! My health has been better lately which I am so very thankful for🙏🙏
All positive humans always rationalise 'unusual things' which is why we miss warning signs. We can always find a reason.
Yes, I can see how that can easily happen unfortunately
Yes, I had breast swelling and redness. I live in Mississippi and it was hot so I attributed these 2 symptoms to the weather. I had just had a normal mammogram 2 months prior to this so I really didn’t pay any attention to these symptoms. It wasn’t until I experienced terrible pain in my breast that I went to the Dr. Fortunately, this was just a couple of weeks after the other symptoms first appeared!
Thank you for sharing your experience🙏. That is incredible that you were so self aware to get yourself checked👏 especially when you had a normal mammogram 2 months prior. I hope that at this time you are healthy and doing well🌱. Thank you again for sharing, the more we can learn from each other, the more awareness there will be💫
Good morning . I am going for an ultrasound soon. A few months ago i got swelling by my axillar. Suddenly i feel its spreading and there is swelling by my underarm . Almost like a ball inside. Its not really hard but like puffy. I noticed that i have been nore forgetful . I already have leukemia. One doc said oh i already have one chances are you dont get a second one. . We will see. Thank you for your story❤️❤️prayers for all ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sending many prayers and positive thoughts to you💫💕🌠. I hope your ultrasound goes well🙏
I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and almost a year ago I was having some electrical sharp pains in the area I also started bleeding irregularly even though I have an iud.
I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis🤍. Thank you for sharing what you noticed, the more awareness for us all the better🙏. Sending so many positive vibes your way💌
Thank you for sharing this I'm dealing with some pain and irregular periods I'm waiting for a mammogram now thanks for your help
Important info
I totally agree🙏
So strange how dismissive doctors generally are. Especially with younger people. It's fucked up.
Through this I've learned to be a better advocate for myself and my health... and keep asking questions if I feel something is off.
Thank you for this I found a lump a few years back and was told it was nothing as I was 24 no further testing or anything and was not doing checks myself. Recently I have had extreme weight loss and have lymph nodes in my neck breast and groin. Last week I got a stabbing pain in my right breast and when I put my had there I felt a hard mass that is pointy and it is close to the surface where I also have thickness on the skin surface. I have been having chest pain on right side aswel and shoulder pain on that side for over a year . Been referred to a breast clinic and each day I am waiting is going so slow I am freaking out and panicking. Thank you for your video you have such a calmness about you. Thank you for getting information out there. ❤ love and hugs
Lisa, thank you so much for sharing your story and real life experience. I am so sorry that your concerns a few years back weren't heard. The waiting is absolutely excruciating. I am spending some time here right now sending positive vibes for a cancer free diagnosis. Wishing you all the best Lis, I'm here for you
Hi Chelsey Thank you so much I really appreciate it. I have been watching your videos and you have so much helpful information Thank you so much and I wish you all the best with everything. No matter what my outcome is I wil be sticking around, having my grandmother pass from metastatic breast cancer was devastating and back then hearing others stories really helped me to support her. Your story now is really helping me. X
@@lisaobrien7292 I'm so happy that you have found the videos helpful♡. I hope that moving forward you'll continue to enjoy them as added connection and insight into the journey as a supporter, not someone fighting. Still sending those positive vibes♡♡ and hoping you can get answers soon!
My breast sometimes feels like it’s pumping or I’m lactating but no secretions coming out. I’m also experiencing period changes. I’ll request a mammogram asap. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you for sharing🙏❤. Sending positive vibes for an all clear on your mammogram💫
Hello ,Chelsea
Nice to meet you
New Subscriber here from Amman Jordan Middle East
Breast cancer doesn’t know any age
Good luck
Hugs
Hi Elizabeth, so nice to meet you too♡! I'm from British Columbia, Canada. That is something I've learned... but, was very unaware of prior to my diagnosis. Thank you for subscribing and being here with me! Hugs, and all the best to you as well♡
I had a mammogram and ultrasound in May because I felt something but they cleared me and five months later in the shower I touched my breast in the exact same place an found a huge lump! I had an 8 cm tumor that was malignant. It had grown that much in five months after I was given the all clear
Oh my goodness Felicia, that is quick growth! GOOD FOR YOU for going back for more medical attention even though you were cleared just a few months prior. Sending you so much love and prayers for your journey
@@ChelseyTarnow thanks so much Chelsey. Self exam is SO important
@@feliciahilaski7677 I couldn't agree more!
Yep my mammogram was clear in 2/2023 and I felt my lump end of April 2023. I was in denial I kind of knew it was cause it felt different but wanted to "wait it out" and felt more lumps and than went in. Diagnosed on August 2 at stage 2 grade 3 😢
My grandmother had a lump the size of an orange that was cancerous. She had her breast and arm muscle tissue removed. She was 42. She had Cobalt treatments in the 1950’s. She lived for 33 more years until she developed liver cancer.
Thank you for sharing! What a strong woman💪!!
Hi! Thank you for sharing your journey. I have 33 years old very healthy lifestyle. Also training for fitness competition and congratulations on yours! I recently started having pain in both breasts very sharp that in pain just over the last four days and now I have this spotting around one of my nipples on the right side on the left breast. There’s another red spot and I’m just concerned. I’m not sure if I should get it checked or if I’m just being paranoid.
I will follow everyone up about this in 2 days when I go see a new doctor at the hospital that I work at (I'm an RN in the emergency department.) my story is that a few months ago I went from having normal breasts that weren't saggy but weren't swollen and tight to having my left breast feel rock hard and painful (about a golf ball sized lump) I went and got a mammogram and they said not to worry that I was too young, but they did do an ultrasound and supposedly they found nothing but "dense breast tissue." Well now the pain is worsening and I would rate it about a 7 or 8/10. It's constant and the lump is now the size of a tennis ball I'm not even exaggerating I would say it's about 9 cm wide. I'm short of breath, weak, and fatigued. I want to cry because I just know something is wrong. In addition to this that has been going on since before. Christmas (it's March now) I also have high platelet counts (600,000) normal is less than 450,000. It was three different blood draws that have been elevated now over months time. I have never been more afraid. I know that God is telling me to get it looked at further and I have been sent angels in the form of patients and you tube posters like this beautiful soul... my patient said at only a few years older than I am she was also told that she was too young to be worried, and hers was super painful as well (often times women say breast cancer CAN not be painful but this is in true). Anyways, she told me hers was stage 4 when she finally got started on treatment and she has been living for years longer than they expected her to. I am definitely going to share my story if I end up being diagnosed with cancer or another type of breast disease. As a woman in health care myself it is so frustrating realizing how overlooked people's symptoms can be and how much doctors don't listen to a patient telling them something is wrong. We know our bodies, and I am going to be so mad if I had cancer all along. Anyways, I'm rambling now but the point is to say that I am going to demand an MRI at my appointment because I have such dense breast tissue you can't tell if there is cancer in ur breast with solely an ultrasound or mammogram.
Wishing you strength during this difficult time Tayler.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experience! I hope by this point in time you have been heard, and your health has improved🙏🙏. If you feel like sharing an update I would very much love to hear how you are doing. Much love🌷
Hi. I'm. a nurse as well starting a new job in four days. Had a HERSCAN due to right sided irritation and prior hx of "too small to aspirate." My scan came back as echomotic left side at 9 o'clock and states "with painful lump, family history, etc. further studies are needed. I went for "the right side." Naturally, I am worried about this. I did a HERSCAN ultrasound seeking accuracy. Glad I found this group of women. I never thought my cystic left breast was a problem.
I’ve been denied twice for a mammogram. Discharge from both nipples mostly one breast. For years now. Weird pain under armpit that three doctors felt but my obgyn said she could not feel. I’m 37… I’m crying in her office . I’m scared. She said I’m just mad because she won’t give me what I want... I haven’t felt good for years since my c section. Unexplained hematuria since 2020. I only breast fed 5 weeks.. stopped in June 2021. She said it was normal. Sometimes it’s green. Yellow and clear. My platelet count is 500. I keep gaining weight. Losing hair. The inflammation in my body is high. Blood pressure keeps spiking on meds. Lipids keep getting higher on meds? I’m tired all the time. I’m moody. Irritable. Just told I have a cyst on ovary, small… but normal. Constipation but going everyday. My obgyn said I don’t need a mammogram and I don’t need one until I’m 40. Three years…. I don’t understand why it had to be a hassle. Since I have been told nothing is wrong with me and it’s all in my head, I scheduled a preventative screening only in another location. If it’s clear… then wonderful… if it’s not… I’m going to be mad I didn’t do something two years ago. Thanks for sharing your story. Hopefully my mammogram goes smoothly tomorrow with no road blocks or bad results … good luck in your future and glad you advocated for yourself
I have a cystic system ... I am proactive and get the biopsies and they are always negative. Yesterday, (64 yrs old), I had a diagnostic mammography and ultrasound - and now I need 2 biopsies - one in each breast. The newest finding is more suspect; the other one was biopsied 8 months ago and something is going on right by it. I have a titanium tag there.
Anyway, I am a little more nervous aboout this new finding, although I don't have the various signs (I do actually have a little pain in the right breast when leaning into my washing machnie). I wll keep you updated.
Good on you for being so aware of your body, and so proactive. I truly hope the newest findings come out negative. Sending much love, hope and continued strength💫🙏💕
@@ChelseyTarnow Thank you! I am going to try a grape fast, rescan to see if anything changes for the better.
Happy New Year!
Thank you x
I hope the video was helpful for you🙏🌷
My doctor said mine is most likely benign but just in case, they encouraged a biopsy sooner rather than later. It moves when touched and feels sore but doctors have noticed it before and said it was a cyst. It’s just bigger now. I’m having the biopsy in a few days.
Thank you for sharing your experience🙏. Getting the spot checked just to be sure can't hurt. Sending positive vibes your way💫💕🌷!
Have annual mama. 2019 had biopsies, calcifications. Dec. 2022 annual mam, 2 days later ultra sound, biopsy needed. Christmas , , New years wait wait; Jan.11, 2023 biopsies. Cancer DCIS, and invasive ductal. Feb. 24 surgery. Wire guided and another mass seen. Margins were close 2 nd surgery March 17. Currently in radiation #10 today & 13 to go. Trying to stay positive . I never felt anything I am big busted .
I'm so sorry for your recent diagnosis😔. No words can describe. Thank you for sharing your diagnosis timeline, I think it can help othersbemore aware. Good on you for being so on the ball with your annual mammograms!!! Sending you much strength and resilience💌💪💫💕
I've heard and lost a few friends because they were young ,in their 30s,..I've heard this alot that docs turn away alot of young girls...:(
It is so frustrating! I have learned my lesson, and I hope others can learn from my mistake as well🙏🙏
I noticed a lump about 7 months ago. They did an ultrasound said it doesn't look like cancer but now I think it might be growing. My breasts have been hurting lately. Just moved and don't have insurance yet. I have small fiber neuropathy so am more sensitive to pain. I have been feeling very weak last few weeks. Wondering if I picked up COVID again because I felt weak like this when I think I had Covid before it was noticed to be a thing. We tested neg for flu. Pretty sure it was COVID. They told me to check back in 6 months. I had to leave an emotionally abusive man.
My heart goes out to you Jenny. I'm sorry for all that you have been facing and needing to work through with your health. When you can I would definitely check back on your breast where you feel the lump might be growing. I've learned we must be our biggest advocates for our own health. Sending you positive healing vibes
@@ChelseyTarnow thank you so much. Yeah I am gonna ask for a biopsy
@@JennySimon206 Good for you! Recently I've taken that approach as well.
I had a pain 2 like but no lump my husband said go to see dr. I went last year and she put on my menopause. And late of last year I had my breast check . I had cancer 1 at age 50 years old xxxx
Thank you for sharing🙏. That is so interesting you had the pain before the bump. Good on you for going to check it out woth the doctor and following it up with a breast check👍. Sending lots of love💌
Yep ! Hun no bump but feel pain but I not think anything but I went to check hun xxx
@@jumjumjumuk So good to check just to be sure! Happy you did! xo
What kind of pain did you feel?..I also have no lump but feeling pain tenderness
I was postpartum. It showed up in the same area where I had mastitis while breastfeeding.
I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis♡. Thank you for sharing, I wonder if that is a common occurrence? Hoping you are doing well at this time♡♡
@@ChelseyTarnow I've seen a lot of videos on YT where women have been diagnosed within the postpartum period. My best friend died of it in 2016, and she initially thought her lump was caused by breastfeeding as well. I wish they would do more studies on that.
@@lasurfette7830 I'm so sorry to hear about your best friend. My heart goes out to you and her family and friends. I agree, I wish there was a lot more studies and information about, and for young women with respect to breast cancer.
In hindsight, the only thing that was different before my diagnosis was that I was always exhausted.
I know my body very well, so as soon as I felt the lump, I called. By the time we got to the biopsy, the doctor was asking, “How did you even feel that?” I caught it so early that everyone was surprised.
That’s the best advice I can offer now. Know your body well enough that you pick up even a slight change.
Miss Chris that is amazing advice! Thank you for sharing and I have to say good for you for knowing your body so well👏! It seems like such an easy thing, but it does take effort and a constant checking in/awareness to be so on top of it. Truly amazing! It's something I'm making a big effort to be on top of now!
❤thank you so much for all this information! God bless you 🙏🏼
@@CynthiaBooker6179that’s exactly how I feel. I felt a change in my body being sooooo tired all the time. I mean I cud never hear my alarm go off which never happened before until the last year. I unfortunately didn’t check for lumps regularly cause I didn’t think I knew how to tell what were lumps or not. Then my doctor appointment Tuesday turned out that there was a lump on my left breast. In between 2cm to 4cm.. I feel sharp pains on that breast, like little needle sticks. My mammogram and ultrasound is nov 13th which is goin to feel like an eternity.. I’ve been keeping myself positive and staying strong. I jus wish I picked up on things early and checked it out earlier. I felt something was off with my body and said I shud of got that checked out but didn’t. I will not moving forward make that mistake by brushing off things that some may say isn’t that serious to worry about.
I hope ur doing well and ur health is progressing ❤
I have the same problem I have a sharp pain on the side of my breast. The lump is not big it’s small like a pebble. I do have light shocks here & their but not as bad. The swelling did go down it wasn’t as bad as it was the first time and it happened after I got off my period too.
Thank you for sharing🙏. I've been told by doctor that hormonal swelling can be normal, however, just to be sure I now check everything out. Hoping you are well and sending positive vibes your way💕💫
Thank hun 🙏🙏
❤❤❤ The pleasure and honor is mine to be here to share with the goal, and hope of helping others🙏. Xo!
I have an intermittent pain in my right breast. It stops me in my tracks then quickly passes but it goes in like this all day. I had radical hysterectomy 4 yrs ago so I’m post menopause. I do use HRT gel. There are no lumps I can feel but it is tender where the pain occurs. Should I be concerned? My GP makes me feel like a hypochondriac if I visit so I’m reluctant to go.
I'm sorry your GP doesn't make you feel comfortable asking questions. I'm not a doctor so I can't say if you should be concerned or not. My motto for myself now is to always ask. Sending much love.
Hi, few months ago i felt both my breast felt heavy before my period and then after my period i noticed my right breast swelling up, felt hot, painful, shooting pain to my armpits and discharge from my nipple. Went to my Doctor who gave me antibiotics and referred me to hospital. Went to hospital emergency as i couldn't take the pain even after having pain killers. They did blood test and fast tracked me to breast clinic. Finished my 1st course of antibiotics and at brest clinic they did ultrasound same day and took a sample via needle aspiration. That came clear. They put me one 2 more weeks of antibiotics which made swelling go but not the lump which is the size of an apple with sharp spot at 1 o clock. Ultrasound and mammogram showed very suspicious or cancer results but biopsy says it benign. Lump is not painfil and its still there. I get shooting pains and biopsy wound hasn't heeled due to constant discharge pouring out daily. Should i stress anymore?
Oh man, what a scary whirlwind! That is so great that you were able to get testing quite quickly. And I'm so happy to hear the tests showed the lump to be benign🙏🙏. Honestly, I can't answer that for you... All I can say is listen to your body and intuition. I've heard of people getting a second opinion if they aren't fully settled with results recieved. Sending so many positive vibes your way and I hope since this message your body has been feeling better🌷💫💕
Three years is not a short time. For cancer, that’s a long time. I have dense breast tissue so they recommend yearly mastectomies instead of every two years. I was diagnosed in aug of this year with breast cancer. I caught it myself too and got tested two days later. I had had a mammogram a year and two months prior to that with no masses or evidence of disease. But now I’m at stage two or three with spread to lymph node so it goes to show the importance of getting mammogram a year to two years max.
Thank you for sharing🙏❤. I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Good on you for being so aware of your body and taking charge when something didn't feel right. I hope you've been fairing as well as possible with all your treatments since August🙏. I agree that more screening needs to be the norm for sure, and starting screening earlier. Sending much much love and positive vibes💫💕
II made an appointment but it's a month away :(
Is it ok to be checked by a primary care doctor for an exam?
Good for you! That is the most important step! That's who I was checked by to start with too. She couldn't diagnose me right away, but was able to put in a requisition for the testing that would get me the answer I needed. I wish you all the best my friend. Sending positive vibes your way for clean scans. xo
I have a question I habe extremely dense breast ,I had history of cyst which were all aspirated in the past,One time I got a lump that increased in size in days it was warm to the touch,the skin was red, I think they gave me antibiotics,I've have several mammograms since then all clear. Now that I'm older I get pain when I wear certain bras & pain that feels like in the chest wall & the ribs area any ideals....
I'm sorry you've had ongoing challengess with your breasts. I'm not a doctor, I would suggest if you have concerns to see a medical professional who can look into your concerns to get answers. Sending many positive vibes your way🙏💫🌷
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕PEOPLE OF GOD IF YOU ARE READING THIS THE LORD IS TRYING TO GET YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION HE’S GIVING YOU ANOTHER CHANCE TO REPENT AND SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and l I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.
All the best to you!
My lump felt like a frozen pea. In it was really small. No edges at all - it was really round. And I couldn't move it between my fingers (it felt like it was stuck at a spot in my breast).
One weird thing that happened to me that I thought about when you talked about the journey you had 3 years prior to your cancer (that you wanted to have it locked up without really knowing why).. something like that happened to me which no one knows.
I was going true youtube videos with other people talking about having cancer. And this happened just a couple of months I got my diagnose. It's like the body knew something us wrong.
Thanks for sharing you story! x
Ida
Thank you so much for sharing! It is so interesting how the cancer can feel and form differently for different people.
No way! That is so odd... so you had an intuition to start watching videos on cancer out of no where? The body mind connection is such an incredible thing!
The pleasure is mine. Thank you for adding how your tumor felt
@@ChelseyTarnow out of nowhere! Yeah crazy! Love your videos 😍😍😍
Hello , I am 31 years old and I’ve felt a hard lump on my left breast about 3-4 months ago , I get throbbing sharp pain all the time . I’m so scared to go get it checked as I think of the worst 😢
I'm sorry, that is definitely scary😞. All I keep thinking is that IF it is something (could definitely NOT be the worst scenario too!!!), the earlier, the better. The only one that can look after your health is you, you get to make the decision💕. Sending heaps of positive vibes ans strength your way tonight💫💫💫
Going thru the same . How are you now ? Have you seen a Dr?
I have no lump but m having a sharp pain from my left breast . The pain is not going away it’s always present 😢. It been two months now .
@@thembimsani280mine too.. Just had 2 ultrasounds in October. They said it was tissue but my middle back burst and my underarm. Going for more tests. 🙏
Me too. I'm so afraid right now mainly because i don't want their treatment plan. I want alternative methods if needed.
Dr. Chelsea, some itching both under and at the upper part of the breasts - is this a warning symptom?
Hi, I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor. If you are unsure I'd definitely recommend seeing a doctor about it.
I'm turning 38 in one month, and I wanted to know if having numb skin from your armpit down your breasts and to your nipple is a sign of anything? I know you're not a doctor, but I am just curious if anyone has experienced the numb feeling on the skin before. It's on the right side of my breast, and not the entire breast.
My periods have always been very painful, but my last period was so bad that all I could do for three days was curl up and cry. I also have a curved spine and arthritis in my back that is excruciating, especially during my periods. I always have heavy flows and my periods are often irregular. I know I have cysts on my ovaries even though it has not been confirmed. I know my body enough to say that yes, the cysts are there and yes, they burst which causes even more pain. It feels like my entire pelvic area and my back are being pushed or squeezed inward (side by side and front to back). And it also feels like someone is taking a red-hot fire poker and jamming into my pelvic area. Especially my back. I'm almost positive I am infertile as well.
Anyway, I got a little off track there, sorry.
My breast is very sore and it has been for over a week now, but my period just ended about two weeks ago and I think I'm going to get it again pretty soon.
Even when I am not having my period, or the symptoms that come before having it, pushing on my breast does hurt, as well as the numbness on my skin.
My gramma had breast cancer, and her sister and her mother had it too, so that's why I worry. I have told my doctor about this, and he wants me to get a mammogram, but I can't afford to get to the city to actually have one done.
Hi, I'm so so sorry to hear about all the pain you are in!!! It sounds excruciating! As you mentioned, I'm not a doctor, so I honestly can't say if you have cause for concern. However, your doctor did mention they thought it was a good idea to get some testing done... I'm so sorry that it's fiscally challenging, I wish mammograms could be available for all, especially if a doctor has expressed concern. My heart goes out to you and I'm sending so many positive vibes your way💫❤💫
Thank you very much 💜 I'm really not sure what I'm going to do since I can't afford to get to the city. Times are tough on a lot of us, especially when disability cheques are next to nothing and only come once a month.
I'll be sending positive vibes your way as well.
Take care & stay safe!
Hi all, I went for my first mammogram and they found something and advised for 2nd mammogram and ultrasound. I cannot feel any lump in my beast but they said it could be benign .. I am still getting a biopsy that is the only way to know for sure. Has anyone had a missed period, anemia and knee pain as symptoms?
Sending all thr positive vibes for a benign result💫💕. I had heavier periods🤷♀️
Hi Sarah. Praying all goes well for you and everyone on the comments. Please keep doing a follow up comment. I’m curious about the knee pain?
I found a lump when i was abt 22 yrs current keeping track of it with my gynac
I heard brac gene testing can help to detect or predict xhances.. in young ppl..
Yes, it is a helpful tool, but not the only one. Good on you for tracking it. Sending positive vibes your way💕🌠
If you would be be more persistent 3-4 years ago you would not end up with a lump big like this! Cancer is getting younger and now it's time to take your health in your own hands!
I couldn't agree more!! Those are two of the massive lessons I learned through my experience. We must be our own biggest advocates for our own health. And unfortunately a young age doesnt always mean healthy.
@@ChelseyTarnow you are so right.. doctors are only human and if your inner voice is saying do something , then do it .. keep pressing them. God bless and I wish you all the best.
I just felt a lump that was different than the normal tissue i have had. It is not round and doesnt hurt it just feels odd. I just scheduled a mammogram. I did the exam because my lymphnodes on my side and under arms are swollen and painful to touch. I was just searching because im curiouse.
Good on you for noticing something different and booking an exam just to be sure! Sending many positive thoughts and vibes your way🌠💕💫!
Could it also be the opposite? I haven’t had a period in almost two years and then this red/purple spot on my boob just started to feel like a rubber ball inside it but it doesn’t hurt but also on my other boob I have smaller red/purple marks that haven’t gone away for months but they haven’t become rubber like this one
Thank you for sharing! Unfortunately, I'm not a doctor so I can't be sure... I know for myself now, if anything seems off I'm going to be asking the doctor... better safe than sorry👍. Wishing you all the best and continued heath💕💫!

It IS so scary when something feels off with our health. I hope that you are able to get answers soon and Im sending positive thoughts for everything to come back clear. Lots of love to you

What's the difference between feeling a lump or feeling breast tissue? One side of my left breast has been feeling sore and i think i feel something, but I'm not sure.
Oh man, that's a tough question. In my experience the lump was very prominent, it was hard and almost pointy. Now, if I'm at all concerned I ask my doctor to assess it, or ask for additional testing. Sending positive vibes your way💕🙏💕
Me too …This is exactly how I’m feeling.
Update! The soreness went away once I got my period. I have just started a new birth control and I believe that was the cause of the soreness.
@@rachelbraver1638 👏👏👏👏👏!!! I'm so happy for this update🥳! Thank you for sharing!

Has anyone felt a burning sensation on your breast and chest area, my nipples were both burning too and sensative. It happened last night for the first time. And my skin looked like it was red too, not all but some parts.
I didn't feel this, but everyone is different. Good on you for being so aware of what's going on with your body. Keep asking questions. Sending much love and positive vibes.
Google sign and symptoms. Its a big help.
That stick of butter was a super way to visualize how fricking shockingly big the mass was buried deep in your chest wall. Holy crap :(!
Insane right! It must have been positioned just right to be hidden so well :s
Hi there I am 29 years old I have a lump on my right breast the doctor said it's not seriously now I am drinking medicine for 3 months and if it does not work I must go for operation is this a good idea?
Honestly I have no idea I'm not a doctor. In my recent experience if I didn't feel comfortable with something I chose to get a second medical opinion... perhaps consider this if you aren't feeling good about it? Sending positive vibes and prayers your way🙏💫🙏
If you have a lump, I would definitely get a biopsy. They told me mine was nothing to worry about a six months later it changed a little bit in shape, but but did not grow in size she said I could wait another six months or going for a biopsy! She told me the first time it was nothing to worry about. She told me the second time it was nothing to worry about. I chose a biopsy and it was cancer.
I have a lot of pain in my breast and nipples but doctor said she can’t see anything and while technician was doing my ultrasound for Brest she couldn’t find anything as well. But my pain still the same don’t know what to do
I'm so sorry you are in this situation. Good on you for seeking medical advice. If you aren't satisfied with what you've learned I'd get a second opinion or try a different test if you can.
Is your pain all day long?
I'm having a sharp pain on both side wondering if it's normal
Im sorry I'm not a doctor, I'm not sure. If you aren't feekong good about it I'd say ask a doctor or get a scan if you can. Sending many positive vibes your way💫💫
Why won't they give your results over the phone? My doctor has made an appointment. The waiting is torture... Tomorrow is the day for me. I'm scared straight!
It truly is torture! I hope with all my heart you recieved good news🙏❤
Hi, I have pain in left breast in one side spot when I press it’s increases, can you please tell me, it’s not associated with periods

I'm so sorry, that is so frustrating and so scary. Are you able to get seek medical support now to make sure all is ok?
I don't have regular cycles anymore
This was a sign for me, but doesn't mean I has to be for you too. I'd seek medical advice/testing if you want to make sure all is OK🌷

I'm so sorry! I hope you can get to the root of what is causing you pain and fix it🙏🙏
No disrespect
Warning Sign 5
The Doctors were not vigilant
No disrespect taken. Yes, I do wish more action was taken when I first mentioned my concern. I wont make that mistake again -letting it go without looking into my concern further. Lesson learned!
Listen please reply i request you my mother breast have normal size red spot and to much tiny red please tell what is this
I'm so sorry that you are worried about your mother. I am not a doctor. If you are worried I'd recommend seeing a doctor to make sure that she is OK. Sending many positive vibes your way💫🙏💫
@@ChelseyTarnow Thanks
Is itching too a sign of breast cancer?
I can't remember it being a sign in my experience, but I have heard of others mention it in theirs.
Hi I was in bed alone one night and I felt a sharpe pain down the side of one of my breasts then as I felt I felt like a sausage lump went to the doctors that day
Thank you for sharing Michelle🙏❤. I felt the sharp pain too ans I've hear of a nerve of other women as well. Good on you for looking into it right away👏🌷!
@@ChelseyTarnow thankyou I had my carer touch it I said to her can you feel what I can feel she said yes it was like a sausage shape am on tamoxifen for ten years as my tumour was that long and big you must get any lump checked out I’ve drilled it into all my girls as well
@@Michelle-qd9gm good for you! That is important information to pass along to the younger generation. I HAD NO IDEA breast cancer was a treat in my 30s. So important to be aware of what is going on in our bodies.
@@ChelseyTarnow I still suffer from the effects from the chemo I had and the radiation the chemo has set my nerve pain of more which they did tell me that but what choice do we have you have to get treatment to survive
@@ChelseyTarnow it’s the breast fillers I have trouble with and I’ve laughed over them to big to small ones that stick to your skin I’ve had them all so now I’ve got this light weight one like what you wear after surgery I use Nicola Jane for all my fillers swimming filler which cost me over £50
I’ve had heavy ones you name it to hard than you think to try and match your other breast
i might have either inflammatory breast cancer or a breast infection
hopefully its an infection
I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending positive healing vibes and truly hoping it's an infection that's easy to heal🙏💫🌷
Even if you have small breasts, can you still have breast cancer? im 26. Thanks for sharing!
I believe so. Men can also get breast cancer. Thank you for watching, I hope it was helpful🌷🕊
Should sue her and the clinic. Malpractice!! Do sorry. How are you today? Thank you for the education. Sharing intimate info with us.
Today I am doing well! Thank you so much for asking🙏🌷. I hope what I've learned can help others not be in the same delayed situation as me💕
