    You are two Treatments ahead of me, same cancer, same treatment. I am 40 and was diagnosed in June, will have same surgery beginning of year. I feel like me finding your channel was not coincidental! Thank u so much for sharing your journey. I was against treatment in the beg and was struggling when finding out that was believed to be necessary. Hearing your story makes me feel so much better and is so encouraging and informative. Anyway, just wanted you to know how appreciated u are! Sending love from Ms...Please keep us informed 💕

      Jleamond me too! I’m just about to start chemo. I did alternative treatments first but they weren’t working fast enough so I had to go the traditional route. I’m finding these videos so helpful!

      Where is MS, Mississippi? Awesome. So you have done chemo? What have you done so far, treatment-wise? I'm glad I could help you feel better...we all need each other and gain so much value from those who have come before us. Thanks so much for saying HI. 🤗

      I'm so happy.to hear from you. Where are you at in your treatments? I'm such a spokesperson for conventional when a person has immune system.to support it. ☺️

      Yes, Mississippi! ☺️ I had a lump that wasn’t able to be biopsied so had removed and received the news when I woke... started chemo several weeks later. Will be doing 5/6 on Monday. I plan to have a full mastectomy with diep flap reconstruction. We will see... has been a journey but I too am grateful for all of it.

      Yes definitely a journey! What's 5/6? I wish I could have diep but not looking likely.

    Keep going strong girl! I had a complete response with TCHP after natural didn't work for me. Did you have scans after treatment was done? Is there anything residual? I did a single mastectomy without reconstruction in May and don't wear a prosthetic. I love it. Only keeping my right side if we have kids so I can breastfeed and will have surgery in a few years to be completely flat. You are beautiful no matter your outward appearance. Thanks for the update.

      You are beautiful! I have had one breast MRI and it shows nothing remaining from the original tumor. There may be some lymph node activity but it's hard to tell. They're also maybe another little spot of cancerous tissue in the same breast but it's really small. I will get a bilateral mastectomy at the end of November. If I could have another child I would. But alas I'm too old. Lol I commend you for saving a breast to breastfeed that's one of the greatest pleasures and privileges in life in my opinion. and right on for going flat... I am in awe of any woman who chooses that for herself 💗💛🧡

    Thanks for the suggestion about the glutamine. How long did it take to work on getting rid of the neuropathy? Wish I could do the diep for reconstruction but I have almost no extra tissue on my body. I only weigh 98lbs right now.

      I wish I could do DIEP as well but not likely since I don't have a lot of extra fat either..I have some just not much.
      The glutamine and b6 were to be taken with chemo so I'm not sure if it works after you're done with chemo. I haven't taken it since I finished chemo. I just do massage and acupuncture now. My nurse said it would likely go away up to a year after.
