Thank you! I’m 51 years old with metastatic breast cancer with spread to my liver. I’ve been watching your channel and have been comforted with your information. Scariest is the unknown.
I know that this may not be helpful, but, I have had a lot of experiences with obe’s and I can guarantee that you will not cease to be. You will have your same consciousness, personality, likes and dislikes etc. For the first time in your life, you will experience true freedom. Love Always
@@hospicenursejulie Like childbirth. I was 16 and alone with no ed.given by Dr . So scared . Gs. They gassed u back then,at least he lasT possible moment!
@@MeTreesndirt It's a breast cancer that tests negative for estrogen and progesterone receptors and is not HER2 positive. It's very aggressive and does not respond to chemo. The only way to get rid of it is surgically.
I was diagnosed with triple negative when I was 15 weeks pregnant with my first child. My son is 7 years old and thriving and I am considered “cured” ❤❤ and I was able to breastfeed my 2nd child with one “good” boob haha
Julie; Thank You for this information, My wife had a mammogram in 2010 and they found a mass in her right breast, it was removed in 2010. Then in 2013 the cancer was detected behind her left eye and in her large intestine, she underwent 8 rounds of chemo. Then it came back again in 2021, she said to me that she will not go thru chemo again, I told her that was her decision to make not mine, In Feb 2022, she got really sick, and I had to call 911 because she collaspped on me in our home, She underwent exploratory surgery onn the 23 of Feb 2022, and the Dr. Called me and said tht it had spread all over her stomach, lungs, liver, and kidney's. The Dr said 3 to 6 months, On March 11 2022 at 5 pm she passed away from the cancer, I tried my best to comfort her. I'm still lost and confused. but I have to go on, your the best for doing what you do
I was friends with a young woman in her early 30's a single mother to 5 children who passed away last May from breast cancer. So very sad and I hope her children who as far as I know went with her older parents are doing OK. 😢
All cancers are terrifying. My friend died of ovarian when 70...and I know several breast cancer survivors. 🎀 Thanks, Julie, for all your realistic information and ways to deal with tragic issues.
👍❤️🙏 lost my mom to breast cancer 32 years ago today😇 - treatments are so much better now than then! Stay strong 💪 survivors!! ❤ keep up w your follow ups & love 💕 to all!! I love that this video posted today! Thank u 🙏 so much Julie for all your guidance!! Please all LIKE 👍 button for Julie!!! 👍👍👍👍 👏👏👏👏
I used to put my phone in my bra for years. My breast cancer tumors were all located where I always placed my phone. I think that’s too much of a coincidence!
@@juliet7371 I think it's probably just a coincidence. We would see many cancers near where people carry their phones, if phones caused cancers. People want to think that there is a known cause for their cancers. My brother is a cancer doctor, and he says that most cancers are just random----no known cause.
well you lost me on this video.. absolutely yes ..our phones are causing cancers of all kinds.. you should look into who owns and runs and profits from the cancer society ... everything you spoke of just got canceled out when you said their name as your source .. DIG DEEPER... I'm almost considering unfollowing you now because of this misinformation
@@anglophils645it is not a coincidence and we know full well, what phones and other radiating technology does to us. And medicine is a huge profit industry, profiting from sick people , not healthy people. I am writing this as a former breast cancer patient. I took that classic road of hellish chemotoxins and the rest, never ever again. Doctors do not use chemo, do not do radiation for themselves, they know full well what is harmful. Oh btw they also do not use CT for themselves, despite it being pushed down our throats. I did my extensive research, I have read books from the biggest experts in the field (those that want you healthy, not profiting on you) and I have seen in my own practice. Free choice, believe whatever you want. I know what is good for me and that is certainly not western medicine.
I agree with you. As far as phones go yeah I would be careful of putting my phone directly on my person. I rarely talk with it up against my head. I mean they say it's safe because they want to sell phones so no one can say a phone can harm you without getting threatened with a lawsuit. So there's that. Also I wonder how they could do a study without putting humans in danger. You can't conduct a study that might give someone cancer so there won't be any study that tells women to wear a phone on their breast for any length of time to see if it causes cancer. No one would agree to be in that study. Several of the other "myths" she mentioned I feel are problematic for our breasts and I avoid these items in my life. For instance sugar in the form of carbs of any kind can glycate your organs and definitely causes inflammation that your body has to deal with. Any cancer cells may proliferate because the body is in an inflammatory state. I don't care that the studies don't find it causal. Just read Thomas Seyfried regarding carbohydrates and cancer and you will understand why carbs in the amounts we typically eat is definitely contributing to your risk. I will say that one myth she didn't mention I heard from my ultrasound Doctor. I have dense breast tissue so I do go for ultrasound. The first doctor I went to asked me if I had ever had an abortion? I said what does that have to do with anything? He said abortions cause breast cancer. I told him he'd better back off that because it's not true and it's inappropriate to mention. What a quack.
Mastectomy at age 40, uterine cancer at age 57, mastectomy at age 58, cancer is survivable. You must advocate for yourself, do not fear diagnosis of cancer. I have had 3 separate types of cancer diagnosed so early surgery to remove was all the treatment I needed. No radiation, no chemo, I walked away from surgeon to live my life. I am now 69yrs old cancer free. Love yourself to take care of yourself, have no fear, the earlier the treatment the better your outcome.
I was diagnosed with ER/PR+ HER 2- five and a half years ago at a very early stage after my annual mammogram and a follow up ultrasound then biopsy. I was fortunate that I only had to have a lumpectomy and 16 radiation treatments. I’m forever grateful that the radiologist, ultrasound tech, my surgeon, and oncology team were so skilled and compassionate. Please, if you do nothing else and until we have better detection methods, get those mammies grammed yearly, ladies! The earlier you know, the better.
We had/have a woman on service with metastatic ovarian cancer. She's 2 years younger than me and despite severe pain, she's always fighting and trying alternative pain management therapies to be able to do physio sessions to regain functional strength. I admire her spirit.
My husband's mom died from metastatic breast cancer and was on hospice at the end. But yes, sugar does feed cancer, unfortunately. Look up Dr. Seyfried. Cancer is a metabolic disease. That's why I keep carbs Low and don't eat sugar except very occasionally.
Exactly. Metabolic disease. Eat well, do not eat processed food, no stress, high doses of vit D, regular workouts, healthy dose of early morning sunshine to produce your own D etc.
Thank you nurse Julie for this information on breast cancer. Got diagnosed with stage 1a invasive ductal breast cancer. Lumpectomy was really easy.😢😢 Praying for all patients who are survivors.
I am starting my hospice nurse journey inspired by you. I feel hospice is a wonderful service and I have seen too many patients that could have been helped by hospice, but families did not act in time.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my thanks for all of your advice throughout the so many videos concerning COPD. My mother in law passed away recently from that dreaded disease and your information and advice was more than most of the hospice personnel knew that came to assist us, with my mother in law. I am appalled, though, not because of anything you said or did, but, by the way every state does not automatically allow "death with dignity" for people like my mother in law. My mother in law did not want the "death by dignity" initially ( we didn't live in one of the participating states, anyway), but, in the last 2 weeks, she was begging to be taken to one of the states that did allow this! We had to basically just watch her die an agonizing death. The "morphine" that we gave her helped, but, she agonized until she died, which I think is just BS for a human being to go through, she didn't deserve that. Anyway, We all Love you and your videos, keep up the good work.
I have a friend that's triple negative. She's young with a teenage son and my heart breaks for them. She left an unhappy relationship following her first diagnosis and treatment. Then she met her soul mate only to be told within 12 months that it's back and it's terminal. She's already had one type of chemo, and radiation therapy. She's just started a more toxic variety. She's still doing charity work, hiking with her partner and crazy dogs. Long may she keep going. ❤
My Mother and Grandmother were both breast cancer survivors. Fortunately, I do not have the gene for it. I do, however, have CLL.(chronic lymphocytic leukemia) I get yearly mammogram and colonoscopies to rule out possible cancers. I have spent years doing home health/hospice care. I have seen what happens when it metastisizes. Thank you for all the information you share!
Thanks so much for posting this!!! As a recent breast cancer patient, I was shocked to see how many women get this disease at a young age. There has to be more awareness. Also, the "things to avoid" list - being told to stop using deodorant, etc. My Drs didn't tell me to do this but my support groups did. Not necessary!
I’m sorry. I too went through it 13 years ago, and thankfully I’m still here today. But I too lost my eldest son in July of this year. Plus a divorce thrown in for good measure. Life can be hard. Stay strong♥️
I am sorry for all of your lose and pain and the deep sadness that goes with it all but my own lose and pain tells me to tell you Christ is the answer so please please believe and hold tight to him he will never let you down, this I know for certain 🙏🏼❤️
Yes my Aunt had Cysticsarcoma of the breast diagnosed in her early 20's. It came back in her brainstem and she died 10 days after it was diagnosed. She had only just turned 30. Left 2 children double orphans.
I lost my beloved aunt to breast cancer. She fought hard, but it came back, and I miss her more than words can say. Please, ladies, be diligent about getting checked. You are all so important to us men. And lest I forget, a friend of mine’s dad also got it.
I wish you would have been my mom's hospice nurse when she died of metastatic breast cancer during a COVID lockdown. Our family had very little support and teaching.
I've had Stage 4 B/C for almost 19 years now. I'm ER+/PR+/Her2-. I've had radiation, oopherectomy, bi-lateral mastectomy and was on Letrozole for 14 years and decided to go off it given how long I've been stable. My onc didn't agree with my decision, but it's been 5 years and all clear. There have been no studies on the long-term effects of being on an anti-estrogen for 14 years that I know of. My onc told me that I'm at the tail end of the Bell Curve and could actually be cured but that's rare. I give my success to the power or prayer. 🙏🏻
I’ve had the same type cancer as you twice. I’m on the aromatase inhibitor for life now, after a second early BC diagnose. Took Arimadex for 5 years after the first diagnosis, and then 2.5 years later a new cancerous lump in same breast was found. Good to know you are thriving after going off. I wanted to stay on Arimadex more than 5 years the first time, and wish I had but, the doc didn’t want me to do it. I should have pushed harder for it, even though I hate the side effects.
Mammographer here. I stopped wearing wire bras when I became a mammographer. Wire doesn't cause cancer. However, it does prevent the lymph nodes in your axillary region from draining properly... Anyways ladies, do your self exams at home and get your mammograms EVERY year! Early detection is the best protection!
@@aquamoon4401 I will NEVER ever get a mammogram. When I was in my twenties my Dr. thought I could have breast cancer so I thought I would be given a mammogram. They did an ultrasound on my breast. It was completely pain free and way more reliable. Why more Dr.s’ don’t do this is crazy!!
A heads' up: Triple Negative is sometimes referred to as an interval cancer because it can appear in the interval between mammograms. If you discover a lump even a month after your mammogram, get it checked out.
I'm so glad to see you're doing so well on your channel and your book is amazing! Triple Negative is the hardest to treat, early diagnosis is crucial. I know a few men who have had breast cancer. My oncologist told me to stop using all deodorants that have aluminium in them. Also, high dose Vitamin D3 (Calciferol) help your body through chemo and other cancer treatments. Also good advice from an Oncologist.
My sister developed estrogen neg breast cancer at 36 and fought with chemo and surgery x 7 years. She went on Hospice care thru our homecare agency her and I( as a nurse) worked for. She worked in billing. She had 3 sons the youngest 7 and oldest 15. It metastasized to brain. An awful cancer for anyone.
Interviewing a hospice tomorrow for my mom - 76 with MBC. It has been a LONG road for sure. I'd love more information about what end of life looks like. All the gritty details no one says out loud. Any resources you can share?
I was diagnosed in 2021 with breast cancer. I did 25 rounds of radiation and by the grace of God I am free of cancer . My Bone density scan is at the end of the month and next mammogram is in March ❤
Another common misconception or I don't know if you want to call it a myth but it's amongst the doctors is with younger patients they'll say you're too young to have breast cancer. I had a friend who was 29 and had a mammogram done at a med fair it was referred to a doctor. All he said was you're too young to have breast cancer and never even looked into it. I kept telling her to get a second opinion which she finally did but it was almost a year later and by then it was too late. Of course I know things have changed this was back in the early eighties . But I still think some people have that mindset
@@simonjusticier333Men can absolutely get breast cancer, and there is breast tissue around all guy's nipples. Men can breast feed as well, although their supply won't be very good.
My friend lost a son-in-law who died from breast cancer. They were unable to recognize it in time to treat it appropriately. YES, men get breast cancer too!
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was in her seventies, had radiation therapy and survived the treatment. She just turned 96 years old and YES no more cancer. My sister was diagnosed with same type, she is also doing well, then was my turn, I’m 64 years old and was diagnosed with same condition. I had mastectomy 2 years ago and Drs said for sure is in your genes so they suggested to do the Braca test and the results were negative. The doctor who suggested it took the test and hers was positive. She was a young woman with no family history. She stopped practicing med and never saw her again. I’m sure u r as confused as well
God help and God bless in Jesus mighty name, thank you young lady for all the information you make available, like I said before if you had been around with my mother was on hospice, my poor old cousin she had both of us removed, double mastectomy,
Well my breast were barely a full A cup. I was 29A. Diagnosed with triple A breast cancer in the left breast and estrogen positive breast cancer in the right breast. So in total I had 3 tumors. 2,in the left breast and one in the right breast. So yeah small sized breast definitely get cancer.
That’s a good thing. I had dense breast tissue before my double mastectomy. This means less fat and more breast tissue, which makes mammograms a bit harder to decipher. Tumors light up white, and breast tissue lights up white, so not great contrast. I also experienced a lot of monthly breast pain. Frankly I’m glad to be rid of them, but would rather not have had cancer of course
It's a good thing for cancer. It isn't a good thing if you plan on breast feeding though, you might not have a good supply. It just means you have less breast tissue and more fat.
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose That explains why I had such a hard time getting enough breast milk to feed my baby! Oh my word, I tried so hard, but had to use formula along with my own breast milk.
Okay, I love your videos, but I have a mother, aunt and a grandmother who are all three breast cancer survivors, and their respective doctors told them that their breast cancer was caused by the aluminum in their deodorant. I had genetic testing to see what my chances were of contracting breast cancer, and the results were I only have an 18% chance. So I tend to believe what the oncologist said about the aluminum in the deodorant. Just sharing my personal experience. I would hate people to be misled by what a website says versus what an oncologist has said to the 3 survivors in my life.
I am a survivor too, it has been one year now. And I want to thank you for bringing this to light. I had a cousin who died of breast cancer and she had two young sons. She died because she was trying an experimental treatment.
As a nurse, you should not spread misinformation. I hear all the time that breast cancer does not cause pain. It was pain that allowed me to find the tumor in my right breast. I was diagnosed with Stage 3C, Grade 3 IDC. Breast cancer can and does cause pain!!
My aunt had breast cancer had only one breast removed. 5 years later they found kidney adrenal tumor, cancer in the other breast, bone cancer, liver, uterine and ovarian cancer. She passed away in hospice 3 months ago. The doctors would not remove both breast!? Even tho she wanted it.
That is criminal. How is it that she had no say? My Mother had a lumpectomy for her cancer and she should have had a double mastectomy because she had to go back in and do that after her dx was stage 4 and that was very hard on her. I think if I got breast cancer I would get both breasts removed for my peace of mind. Of course we can say what we'd do but I imagine all that changes when it happens to you.
Hi Nurse Julie i have breast cancer its Ductal carcinoma in situ it started as Nipple discharge an inverted Nipple and a mass directly under my Nipple😭😭💔💔

I’ve had the same type cancer as you twice. I’m on the aromatase inhibitor for life now, after a second early BC diagnose. Took Arimadex for 5 years after the first diagnosis, and then 2.5 years later a new cancerous lump in same breast was found. Good to know you are thriving after going off. I wanted to stay on Arimadex more than 5 years the first time, and wish I had but, the doc didn’t want me to do it. I should have pushed harder for it, even though I hate the side effects.
Mammographer here. I stopped wearing wire bras when I became a mammographer. Wire doesn't cause cancer. However, it does prevent the lymph nodes in your axillary region from draining properly... Anyways ladies, do your self exams at home and get your mammograms EVERY year! Early detection is the best protection!
Thank you for the comments. At which age are yearly mammograms recommended?
Thank you so much for this info!!!!
@@aquamoon4401 I will NEVER ever get a mammogram. When I was in my twenties my Dr. thought I could have breast cancer so I thought I would be given a mammogram. They did an ultrasound on my breast. It was completely pain free and way more reliable. Why more Dr.s’ don’t do this is crazy!!
A heads' up: Triple Negative is sometimes referred to as an interval cancer because it can appear in the interval between mammograms. If you discover a lump even a month after your mammogram, get it checked out.
I'm so glad to see you're doing so well on your channel and your book is amazing! Triple Negative is the hardest to treat, early diagnosis is crucial. I know a few men who have had breast cancer. My oncologist told me to stop using all deodorants that have aluminium in them. Also, high dose Vitamin D3 (Calciferol) help your body through chemo and other cancer treatments. Also good advice from an Oncologist.
Thank you - thank you - thank you!! 💕💕💕💕
Nurse Julie, I”m so happy that Your mother is cancer free! 😃❤️
18 year survivor here. My sisters tumor was found in the same location where she kept her phone.
My sister developed estrogen neg breast cancer at 36 and fought with chemo and surgery x 7 years. She went on Hospice care thru our homecare agency her and I( as a nurse) worked for. She worked in billing. She had 3 sons the youngest 7
and oldest 15. It metastasized to brain. An awful cancer for anyone.
Two of my high school classmates from the nineties have passed from breast cancer in the early or mid forties and three have beat it.
Interviewing a hospice tomorrow for my mom - 76 with MBC. It has been a LONG road for sure. I'd love more information about what end of life looks like. All the gritty details no one says out loud. Any resources you can share?
I was diagnosed in 2021 with breast cancer. I did 25 rounds of radiation and by the grace of God I am free of cancer . My Bone density scan is at the end of the month and next mammogram is in March ❤
My sister got inflamatory bteast cancer @ 47 and at that time not food odds . Terrable battle she succumed too 😢
Another common misconception or I don't know if you want to call it a myth but it's amongst the doctors is with younger patients they'll say you're too young to have breast cancer. I had a friend who was 29 and had a mammogram done at a med fair it was referred to a doctor. All he said was you're too young to have breast cancer and never even looked into it. I kept telling her to get a second opinion which she finally did but it was almost a year later and by then it was too late. Of course I know things have changed this was back in the early eighties . But I still think some people have that mindset
Holy crap.
You are an angel on earth!
Question: Can men get Breast Cancer?
Yes
Men cannot get breast cancer just like women cannot get prostate cancer. Pecs are not breasts...
@@simonjusticier333Men can absolutely get breast cancer, and there is breast tissue around all guy's nipples. Men can breast feed as well, although their supply won't be very good.
My friend lost a son-in-law who died from breast cancer. They were unable to recognize it in time to treat it appropriately.
YES, men get breast cancer too!
@@kimborealis Thank you for answering my question and I am sorry to hear of your loss.
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was in her seventies, had radiation therapy and survived the treatment. She just turned 96 years old and YES no more cancer. My sister was diagnosed with same type, she is also doing well, then was my turn, I’m 64 years old and was diagnosed with same condition. I had mastectomy 2 years ago and Drs said for sure is in your genes so they suggested to do the Braca test and the results were negative. The doctor who suggested it took the test and hers was positive. She was a young woman with no family history. She stopped practicing med and never saw her again. I’m sure u r as confused as well
God help and God bless in Jesus mighty name, thank you young lady for all the information you make available, like I said before if you had been around with my mother was on hospice, my poor old cousin she had both of us removed, double mastectomy,
Thanks for mentioning men.
Is mastectomy worthwhile as a prophylactic?
Breast cancer isn't, in and of itself, fatal.
Well my breast were barely a full A cup. I was 29A. Diagnosed with triple A breast cancer in the left breast and estrogen positive breast cancer in the right breast. So in total I had 3 tumors. 2,in the left breast and one in the right breast. So yeah small sized breast definitely get cancer.
Can pain be managed with pancreatic cancer. Thank you
Yes- I have a couple videos about it- I'd try to look back at the titles of my videos - you will find it
After a mammogram, I once had a doctor tell me that I don’t have dense breasts. I didn’t understand what he meant, was that good or bad?
That’s a good thing. I had dense breast tissue before my double mastectomy. This means less fat and more breast tissue, which makes mammograms a bit harder to decipher. Tumors light up white, and breast tissue lights up white, so not great contrast. I also experienced a lot of monthly breast pain. Frankly I’m glad to be rid of them, but would rather not have had cancer of course
It's a good thing for cancer. It isn't a good thing if you plan on breast feeding though, you might not have a good supply. It just means you have less breast tissue and more fat.
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose That explains why I had such a hard time getting enough breast milk to feed my baby! Oh my word, I tried so hard, but had to use formula along with my own breast milk.
@@Vcaser Thank you so much, that’s good to know. I’m so sorry that you had cancer but I’m glad to hear that it’s gone. Praise God!
I have dense breasts. Heard it is harder to read the mammogram.
Underwire and deodorant I’ve heard forever, but who told me and why did I believe it???
Does a miss carriage or abortion cause or is a factor to breast cancer?
I haven't heard this- no
What are the statistics of women over 70 and breast cancer?? I still get my mammograms but was just wondering
Okay, I love your videos, but I have a mother, aunt and a grandmother who are all three breast cancer survivors, and their respective doctors told them that their breast cancer was caused by the aluminum in their deodorant. I had genetic testing to see what my chances were of contracting breast cancer, and the results were I only have an 18% chance. So I tend to believe what the oncologist said about the aluminum in the deodorant. Just sharing my personal experience. I would hate people to be misled by what a website says versus what an oncologist has said to the 3 survivors in my life.
You're the second person to share this- so I'm think I'm wrong and the oncologist is right! I'll try to make a video - thank you for sharing with us!
I call BS for deodorant.
I'm actually going to make a video about this because I have heard that aluminum and deodorant could be risky 💕
I am a survivor too, it has been one year now. And I want to thank you for bringing this to light. I had a cousin who died of breast cancer and she had two young sons. She died because she was trying an experimental treatment.
The fact that any breast size can get breast cancer doesn't refute the claim that breast cancer is more common in people with larger breasts.
Sorry. You're wrong about the sugar. Especially refined sugar.
As a nurse, you should not spread misinformation. I hear all the time that breast cancer does not cause pain. It was pain that allowed me to find the tumor in my right breast. I was diagnosed with Stage 3C, Grade 3 IDC. Breast cancer can and does cause pain!!
My aunt had breast cancer had only one breast removed. 5 years later they found kidney adrenal tumor, cancer in the other breast, bone cancer, liver, uterine and ovarian cancer. She passed away in hospice 3 months ago. The doctors would not remove both breast!? Even tho she wanted it.
That is criminal. How is it that she had no say? My Mother had a lumpectomy for her cancer and she should have had a double mastectomy because she had to go back in and do that after her dx was stage 4 and that was very hard on her. I think if I got breast cancer I would get both breasts removed for my peace of mind. Of course we can say what we'd do but I imagine all that changes when it happens to you.
TNBC sucks.
💕💕💕💕💕
Yes it does. Right there with ya.
Hi Nurse Julie i have breast cancer its Ductal carcinoma in situ it started as Nipple discharge an inverted Nipple and a mass directly under my Nipple😭😭💔💔
