Feel no guilt. You are brave in the face of a horrible diagnosis that you are forced to deal with. I know…I was stage 3b and pessimistic. I’m still pessimistic but I’m still here. Diagnosed at 44 years old and now a 72 year old. Status post bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. Hang in there!
Sending much love and positive thoughts for your healing journey. I’m recently recovered from lymphoma in the breast = surgery and radiation. I’ve followed your story and you’ve been so real, articulate, and intelligent sharing with us. I think about you every day and wish you and your family the very best ❤
Thank you for sharing. I had recently found a lump, it turned out not to be cancer but they are keeping a close eye on it because I have family history. Currently going through the genetic testing process, then I will make decisions about a completely preventative procedure. Which I have thought about for over fifteen years. So glad you are making decisions that are right for you:😊 your life and your body❤❤❤❤ sending lots of love and healing energy.
you are young, yes, but the number of lovely young women taken in the bloom of life over the generations by breast cancer is not inconsiderable. Young mothers, wives, and key coworkers all. The donations to cancer research have done a lot of good and the prognosis is so much better now. I survived a cancer that would have definitely been terminal just half a decade sooner, and in fact I'd had it then and couldn't get medical attention. They just called me crazy and sent me away. Thank God they did, though, because the treatments at that time would have crippled me terribly and I wouldn't have made it to the ripe old age of 60 and looking forward to decades yet to come. You do your personal best self care and utilize the network of support that is available.
i wanted to add… when my son was quite young he was diagnosed with leukemia (has made a full recovery and is now 12 years cancer free) but at that time he was included in many prayer circles around the world through friends and strangers alike and even though i am not religious, it brought me immeasurable comfort to know his recovery was being held in the hearts of others. there is so much power in that. so as i write this, i am lighting a candle for you and wishing you a speedy recovery. thank you for sharing your story. that is a very brave thing to do ❤️🩹
Oh my goodness, Sara, big hugs on these choices. I totally understand your choices and making the best decisions you can. I am sending you many good thoughts and prayers. I've been sending those healing thoughts ever since I found your channel several weeks/months ago. You seem like such a wonderful, loving person. I am watching this on Thursday and am sending you so many good wishes for your best outcome.
I’ve learned a lot from your smart analysis, open-hearted explanation, and gracious presentation, thank you. We look forward to seeing you again soon. All best wishes.❤
Thank you for sharing! I have just started very similar treatment journey for my breast cancer and your videos are very useful. I hope your surgery will be the simplest possible one. Wish you very quick recovery after your surgery.
Hi Sara, i hope your surgery went well and recovery is not too painful .Im sorry to see a young beautiful mother like you having to go through this awful mean disease cancer. I just finished my first year NED from lung cancer,thankfully,i know its different then breast cancer but cancer is cancer and it takes a very strong and brave person to go through all the motions of treatment. Dont ever doubt your choices, you have to do what is best for you and your lifestyle, im happy your mom and dad were with you as well when you had surgery and im sure it gave you peace of mind knowing your little ones were in good hands while you and your husband were at the hospital. Now im rambling on,lol,Sara i wish you strength,love and good health today and everyday after❤. Take good care of yourself. Looking foward to hearing how you are.Thank you for sharing your story,your so very brave and kind.
Hello, thank you for your videos! I have been watching you for the past 2 days since my diagnosis. I have invasive ductal carcinoma HER 2 positive right breast . It’s a roller coaster of emotions . I see a surgeon in Red Deer on the 19th of march and hopefully get some answers and a plan in place for treatment . My GP phoned me last week to tell me I have breast cancer . Then phoned me today to tell me it is HER 2 positive and that it b is invasive. She said mastectomy is most likely the outcome. I’m 56years old and feeling so overwhelmed. Funny story , I live straight north of Sundrey . Thank you for making your videos and sharing your story . I feel like I have a little more information and connection to what I am up against . Prayers for you and your family
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I am glad you have found my videos helpful. They should especially be since we are practically neighbours. I had the choice between Calgary and Red Deer for my treatment, I went with Tom Baker, but have only heard good things about Red Deer as well. The surgeon appointment was helpful in getting the process started and getting an idea of what treatment would look like, but then it was frustrating because it ultimately (for me) was then another wait to see oncology before treatment got started. All the best luck with everything! Sending positive and healing thoughts your way!

My dear sister, we have the same story the same cancer, I was diagnosed in August of 2021. I was 53 and only had cancer in my left breast, I had a mastectomy and finished my year of treatment. I opted to have my other breast removed, and reconstruction, I found that my desire to remove additional risk of the cancer returning in my other breast, and maintaining the appearance of normal breast was important to me. I was flat on one side for several months and found the appearance was not something I could overcome. Now, the experience of expanding is not fun, I am very happy with my final results. This is a long experience, I just had my final step two weeks ago, my areola tattoos. So just be patient and think about the long term, you are young, and the options are many. 💕
By now you have had your surgery. I’m anxious to hear how it went. I had hormone positive cancer in my right breast and chose to have a bilateral mastectomy. I had expanders for a little less than a year and then deip flap reconstruction. I also had three positive lymph nodes so they ultimately removed 22. I have not had lymphedema. It was a gnarly surgery and the scar is ugly. In hindsight I think I would have gone the implant route. I hope you are healing well. Good luck!
I’m 46 years old and in a hospital bed as I type this having had my double mastectomy with lymph nodes removed as well yesterday Oct 26. I am still waiting for answers from pathology I am er+ pr+ and waiting for my her2 result and staging and I have that appt to get the result on nov3. I held off on reconstruction cuz I Am so afraid to have tissue rejection or increased chance of infection or problems knowing I still have chemo/radiation treatment to come. Right now it just felt the most urgent to cut it out and heal and I can always go back in with fat grafting or a tissue expander but it has sure been tough U sharing your journey has been helpful to me to not feel alone. Hope your surgery went Well and recovery too
Thanks for the positive vibes, surgery went well, they only removed two lymph nodes (although still waiting on pathology results) so I've got my fingers crossed about lymphoedema. And I've been moving my arm and stretching lots to hopefully avoid things like cording. Just goes to show you there are so many things to consider with this type of surgery.
I got diagnosed Sept 28th. I had a biopsy that showed no lymph node involvement so we decide a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy with radiation and hormone therapy. Unfortunately 3/3 nodes were cancerous and the breast tissue had cancer throughout it. Now I have a masectomy on the left with auxillary node disection and then chemo after recovery I will have reconstruction. Its definitely hard choices to make. Today dealing with anger. Thanks for sharing.
Your anger is definitely valid, I still struggle with my anger and frustration at the universe for giving me cancer. I hope your second surgery goes well, and chemotherapy as well. It's a long process, as cliche as one step at a time sounds, it's true. And give yourself space to feel all of your feelings about it. Thanks for sharing, I'm sorry you had to join the cancer club. All the best.
