Hi Vanessa, I'm so glad your port is removed, huraay! I have my port for 9 years, it's still good, I have my chemo every 2 weeks. It's miracle I'm still living for 9 years. I have had stage 4 colon cancer, I'm 53 years old. I'm strong, positive and happy woman. That's what keeps me going after what I have been going through. Vanessa you are beautiful, strong woman. The make ups you do on you is so beautiful on you. You have nice family and kids. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I wish for you the most important health and all the happiness and Blessings for your 👪. Angela from America 🤗
What kind of cancer do you have Angela? I have breast cancer and have had my port for two years. I'm finishing up treatment but scared of the future. Diagnosed at stage 3 but just know that one day it will be back.
Hi Angela ,I am stage 4 colorectal cancer too, undergoing chemo for 14 months already ,I was in folfox for 6 months which compose of 12 sessions and Folferi for 9 sessions ,I have also a targetted drugs which is panitonomumab.Since I have no obstruction in my colon and I can manage to discharge .My team of doctors opted to finished my chemo before they would put me into surgery.Can you share me your journey maam ? How you would able to make it that far.?I'm 50 from Philippines.
We missed you, congrats on everything, busy mom, wife, student and now employed…gurl you make Wonder Woman look boring. For real, give us more frequent updates even if short but always sweet to see you. 🧡
Congratulations to you. Sending you my blessings. I know the joy you are feeling. My son had his port removed last week. He is 22y . Blessings to you and your family 💞
Hi I'm happy to hear that you had a problem-free procedure. Wishing you a healthy life. I've had this procedure done multiple times. I'm having it done again soon. I am experiencing severe anxiety. The last time was traumatic. The Dr had to discontinue the procedure because I was in intolerable pain. The removal had to be done in the OR.
Feb 6 2024. Port removal worse part of cancer experience. I almost came off the procedure table to yell at them to stop. I never met the doctor until after removal. No topical numbing med applied, "not in our protocol."
Hi! I just found your channel! My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in June 2022 and he is now going through chemotherapy then radiation then surgery after!! Thanks for all your info and putting yourself out there!! I’m trying to understand everything he’s going through and be as helpful as I can!!
I pray all is well with your husband. I’m a stage 3 colon cancer survivor. I went through radiation and chemotherapy at City Of Hope. I had my port removed yesterday. Tell your husband to drink plenty of water. He can do it.
Congrats I hope you never have to deal with cancer again. Although I feel that cancer fundamentally changes a person and there’s always some level of worry because of the nature of the disease. Live your life enjoy your life every moment . I’m sure you know this after going through this experience. I wish I could be cured of stupid cancer. I’m young with stage 4 net cancer and just finished a last PRRT treatment going through side effects. It’s very hard but the treatment is working for me can’t wait to recover although I will have to deal with cancer for the remainder of my life. I wish I could be healthy again but have to accept. Thanks for sharing your journey
Colon cancer doesn't always come back, typically for Stage 1 depending on which country but overall have about a 0-5% chance of it coming back Stage 2 is overall 12% of it coming back and Stage 3 with the highest with about 25% chance of it coming back. Unfortunately the nature of how colon cancer comes back a lot of people try and move on with their lives and put it behind them and stop going to oncologist appts and getting screened every year so they catch the recurrence when its late in the game.
I had to get a venous port after getting Lyme carditis from a tick bite. I’ve had the port for almost 8 years and hoping to get it out soon. Feeling a little nervous about the removal, I did a TH-cam search and stumbled onto your video. I feel much better after seeing your experience. ❤
Vanessa Yay for you! I'm so happy for you finally ended all this. You are a strong wonderful woman. Stay bless and continue with all you're successes see you around. 🙏 God bless😘
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are a warrior! I’ve got a love/hate relation with my port! I developed a bleeding disorder as a wonderful side effect of my cancer, so it has been an adventure with my port for sure. 🙄🤦🏼♀️ I also have a PICC🤦🏼♀️ How exciting for you and your family to be moving on from such a hard time. So happy for y’all!! 💙
Hi Vanessa. I have been watching from beginning. So happy your journey is complete. Always be vigilant with your health but go for your dreams You are a remarkable young woman - proud of you !!!! 🙏🏻🌹
Yay the port is out. Im sure that scar will flatten out and the redness will disapear as it heals, and anyway, it is your badge of honour, your bravery and strength. Best wishes.
Orgulloso de ti Vanessa, has vencido al cancer, cada dia mas guapa y con mas fuerza tienes toda la vida por delante para disfrutar de tu familia y de la vida, un millon de besos desde Madrid España
Well done💗 r u going keep ur channel up or finish as u haven't posted in a while. I love ur makeup vids ur amazing at doing that. Stay strong and enjoy ur cancer free new life❤️🌹❤️🌹
Hi Vanessa, that's great news. It is unlikely your dermatologist has had time to mention that those scars can be erased, or made to look a lot less pronounced. Sometimes a 0.5mm dermaroller is used for this. Once the incision has healed properly, it can be rolled, with a dermaroller to promote collagen in the scar area, and basically, over time, should get rid of any scar, hopefully. Thankyou for sharing your story.
Hi, Vanessa! So happy for you! I just got my port removed today, but I still can see and feel the line where it went inside my jugular. Is it normal? and does it go away? Not my biggest concern rn, just out of curiosity. Lots of love and I hope you are doing fine!
God bless you all! I got my port removed yesterday and had a lot of pain all night. Was just wondering if this is normal? I am still in pain today, I even cancelled my SIM radiation appointment for tomorrow, noway could I go through that with this pain. Thank you for your input! Much love. 💕
Hey Vanessa, I just had mine removed Tuesday, June 18, 2024 and right now makes five days it is so itchy and it looks just like yours now when they put it in it didn’t look bad but right now it looks puffy just like yours and I have a rash it is so itchy 😢
Hi Vanessa so happy that u doing well..u looking great Thank God. Do u ever try Nutritional yeast look into it Will make I feel much better Overall. Take care ❤
Hi Vanessa, go and see a liver doctor, your eyes are yellow ( signs of liver failure). i'm fighting same battle like you, but slightly different because i have metastazes on my liver. I wish you all the best and health. Marcel England

It was my greatest opportunity using #Druromi herbal medicine for herpes which gave me alot of concern , today I have been cured of cancer ...
