Dee don’t listen to negative comments. You are looking terrific & acting very upbeat! God bless you & your wonderful family.?
God bless you Dee, can I encourage you to rest in psalm 91? God cares for you and will carry you, as He did me during my chemo and I am so thankful and hopeful throughout and He filled me with Peace and Joy during my battle. Love you and all. Blessings over this community. ❤️
I’m relieved to hear that there has been no change with the cancer. You are looking good. If I didn’t know about your diagnosis I would never have thought that you are sick. You carry yourself really well and it’s inspiring. I honestly don’t know how you manage work, kids and all of this. Sending you love ❤️
Thank you Marlz, we are all battling something and manage to keep on truckin’!! I’m no different to you or anyone else … we do what we have to do! I probably just make more jokes and swear more than the average person 😂😂
Stage 4 breast cancer patient as well. Don’t much care what people think. You look fab….I’m the same as you the only thing I worry about in the future is my kids…I have eight. I’ve been watching your journey along with my own. Keep going we will worry about the future when we get there….new medicines get better year by year……sending ❤
I have been following you for the last two years, having myself metastatic breast cancer twice. Now my cancer is gone in the liver . I’m bald and full of cortisone, feeling like Dumbo’s mum. Fatigue is always there. It’s difficult to eat. Taste buds are gone. I’m trying to keep my mood uplifting all the time. I understand everything you say, I would like to open a little TH-cam channel too 😅 but my body is too weak…. Anyway, I’m happy there are people who can do it, like you! I send you a big hug from Italy. Everything will be all right, you’ll see❤
I can do it now… but who knows what happens in the future! Sorry if my videos are triggering for you, I know it can be hard when you’re feeling so bad. I know the feeling of basically looking humpty dumpty 🥚 it’s not good! Sending you a big hug 🫂
You are amazingly strong Dee ,you ve got this❤❤❤
Dee, I’ve subscribed to your channel when I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer several years ago, and I always appreciate your insights and you sharing your experiences with treatments, etc. So happy your scans show “Stable.” Odd, isn’t it? When stable is good news. I used to think it odd but as I travel this road I’ve come to understand that stable is good. I pray you continue to do well, prosper and be in good health.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’ve found your new “normal”! Hurray for meds! 😂❤
Dee-You are a treasure. So glad to hear from you and that the news is more good than bad. Hang in there. You got this. ❤
You are brave and inspirational. Best wishes to you and your family.
Good job Dee ❤You are a strong, courageous, amazing mother! Keep it up sweetheart 😊
🫂
Dee don't pay any attention to negative people that just love to suck the life out of everyone and every situation. you look great and sound great. Glad there is no change for you. take care and Happy Thanksgiving
Thanks Linda and Happy thanksgiving!! 😊😊 🦃
You look great! I am on Letrozole have been for almost 3 years. I will be 65 Saturday and I only had to have radiation and Letrozole. I have only noticed more atrophy and easier to get UTIs not sure if it’s from Letrozole or just my age. I did have hot flashes just exactly like I had going through menopause but that has all settled down. You are a beautiful young lady just keep that positive attitude!! Praying for healing!!!
Hey girl, these videos are so so important - you've built a community in an area that is just way too quiet. You've done wonders for me and my family - thank you so much. In addition, you are doing so well. I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!! Heads up, the weight drops off following treatment - however do keep up what you're doing because you want to give your body the best fighting chance to beat this xxxx
And, you are a beautiful young lady with a beautiful soul. I'm 64 years old, and on my cancer journey. Now, radiation. I'm sorry that there are mean souls on this earth, but how would they handle a cancer journey. God bless you, Dee. Biggest hugs.❤
Dee thank u - I really appreciate u sharing your experience. Yes I put on weight on chemo (60% do apparently) and yes the AIs make it sooo hard to lose weight. Good shout on the diet, if diet cured cancer all the Drs would be recommending it instead of chemo. I got asked if I was cutting sugar out to “starve” the cancer 😡😡 and yes we def need more research on how to make the side affects of treatment manageable, wishing u all the best with your treatment
Yeah people don’t look into the fact that sugar feeds all cells. In particular, the brain. That might be why they are so stupid 🤷♀️
weight gain is no joke my friend. i put on so much weight during all my treatments... ive lost like 50lbs but i still have 30lbs to go and i still dont feel like myself.
i love the shade of your hair right now! you look glowing girl, keep on!
The only way I could keep the weight from packing on was to stay low carb. I cut sugar and all grains. Meat, veggies and the occasional fruit. It’s pretty grueling, but it works.
I love your vidoes Dee! so glad that the scans are looking good!
I’m always happy to see you!
Thank you for the update! I am consistently praying for you and your family.
Great job Dee! Love your videos! Your humor and positivity brighten my day…you inspire me to not be so negative! My prayers for you to keep having stable scans ❤
Yay for positive energy!! 🌟🌟
Thank you for taking us with you on your journey. You such an amazing mum.
Wishing you all the best for the rest of your treatment ❤️🙏
Hey Dee thanks for the video ❤
Wishing you all the best and continued inner strength and inspiration into 2024
You look beautiful. Praying for you and your family 💗💗
Awesome news Dee! You are adorable..... so honest and yourself! Much love to u and your littles!
You are so funny, honest and have the best personality!
No change is good news Dee that's good to hear. You look fantastic and very well 😊❤
You are a great role model for your kids. Keep on doing it xxx
I love your videos! You’re sense of humor mixed in with the reals of what your facing. You’re beautiful inside and out! Sending love your way💕
You always look beautiful dee,even without makeup,by the way,love your new hair highlights,really suit you,delighted you got good news from your scan xx
Glad to hear that things are fairly stable and that the cancer hasn’t spread. You are doing amazing Dee and I pray things get better for you with many years ahead of you ❤❤❤
Good news on your scan! I think you look great.
Prayers for you.
You are so brave Dee, I wish you all the best xx
Thank you so much! Hope you’re doing ok!
Your pragmatism and positivity really inspire me. I am so glad you have some good news. You look fantastic too.
Oh I hope everything goes well xx
Hello my lovely. I know we have never met but I wish you all the best of luck with the treatment. It is so good to see you, I was wondering how you are doing. You are an incredible inspiration! I just want to give you a virtual hug! I am pleased about your results, no change is absolutely fabulous.
Lots of love. Xxx
You are an amazing person and mother! Praying for you.
You’re too kind 😅
Keeping you in my prayers. ❤
I am glad that things are going well. I do like the color of your hair! Very pretty.It still looks full😊 I hope things continue to go in a good direction. You are very upbeat, like others have said here!
Hi Dee 😊 it’s so nice to see and hear you again you look Amazing. My wife and I always love your energy you keep it always 100 and that’s a rare thing these days. I loved what you said “No need to worry too much about the future it doesn’t exist” and you are absolutely right! Focus on the now and everyone should see it that way in my opinion. Have an Amazing day and you are always in our prayers and thoughts my wife is doing good she’s out and about just like you and I love that❤ talk to you soon Dee😊
So happy to hear you’re doing good. I’ve been following you because you’re so upbeat. My sister has a rare aggressive uterine cancer. After she finished her chemo and radiation, she had a CT scan which showed enlarged lymph nodes around her aorta which is where her particular cancer (serous carcinoma) frequently spreads. I’m taking her Wednesday for a PET scan. We’re all very worried. The 5-yr survival rate is 17% if there are metastasis to those nodes although I realize it’s just a statistic. She meets with her oncologist a few hours after the PET scan. Anyway, I’m saying prayers for both of you. ❤
Ah Noelle .. I’m so sorry, that’s awful! 🌟 🤞 I hope it goes ok ❤
You are just a delightful soul! Beautiful and intelligent, don’t let the trolls get to you. They mustn’t have anything better to do in life which is a pity! Stay strong, I am praying for you!🙏🙏❤️❤️✝️✝️
Wishing you all the very best Dee. I know what you mean about the children-that was and is my number one concern. ❤
Thank my lucky stars I have them! ❤️
The taste will come back , the hair thinning stabilises.
I’m the one with never ending hot flushes. Lost weight in year 1 but since gained 2 dress sizes
4,5 years on K 💪
You look great and you got this 💪
Thanks for sharing!! Wooo 💪
Love and Hugs to you and your family ♥️
So glad to hear you got good news!! All the crap they are throwing at you and your body - hang in there (I think you look amazing.)! I craved sooo much sugar with Taxol - and gained 20 lbs that I’ve had a hard time loosing. Starting my PARP inhibitor & Zometa next month. Thanks for being so real and sharing with us!
Aw Tracy x don’t worry about the few lbs now. You’ve just gone through hell!! I don’t know anything about PARP inhibitors (ovarian??) but let your body recover and settle before you worry about weight loss! I don’t want to be making videos and encouraging that kind of thing…. Taxol was five years ago for me 🫣 xxx
Nice to see you Dee good news with your scan 👌 I know all about fatigue and eating I have fibromyalgia really bad x
So sorry to hear that, it’s a battle ❤💪
You look lovely Dee. Concentrate on those who are positive for you.
I just happened across this video tonight and the whole time I was watching I was thinking what a strikingly beautiful young woman you are.. with the hair colour perfectly complementing your eyes. So I was shocked to hear that trolls would come on and say you looked tired and ill or whatever.. ugh what is WRONG with people nowadays that - even if it were true, which it isn't - they would say that to someone struggling with a serious illness??!! There is no graciousness in society anymore. And yes I'm a 55 year old mom and fuddy duddy I'm sure but it really annoys me!! ANYWAY.. so very sorry that you are facing this monstrous disease again and I will be holding you in my thoughts and hoping for the very best treatments and news going forward. Sending you a hug!
You're beautiful with or without makeup. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you for the update and ignore idiots. You are a very beautiful woman and I'm praying that the treatment your on works for a long time and starts shrinking things. I hate steroids because the weight gain and how you can't sleep. It does not matter what you eat or drink because even people with the best life and the traits and eat well get cancer. My daddy was the healthiest person I have ever seen in my life and never smoked, never drunk, never ate any junk food ect and he died at 43 with cancer so to all the people who continue to throw that crap out there I got news for you all when your time is up its up no matter what you do.
The steroids!!! Thank you Rhonda xx sorry you lost your dad 😢
we all miss you girl! Hope you're well and just busy doing your life 🙂
Exactly that! Just busy 😊
You're so damn cute!!😊 I love your personality. I love watching your videos. Prayers for scan stability (prefer shrinkage) for many decades to come.
Dear Dee, thank you giving your experience to the world. I went through it 4 years ago and I am, what they call "cancer free" today. Don't know if you can use this little bit of information but at least you have the choice after eventually investigating it further. If I should "do it again" I would make sure I was under ketosis as soon as possible starting treatment (use keto meter to validate), together with chemo etc. I found out that the science behind is much clear. I noticed you mentioned it one place in your video very briefly, just to say what I believe it could be an important and free tool together with the rest of your treatment. Much love❤
You look effn amazing! ❤
Glad to hear it’s not changed , I’ve been on letrazole for a few months and I’ve definitely put on weight with it but I’m hoping it’s doing its job to prevent my cancer returning xx
I know!! Crap side effect but you have to do it!!
Thanks Dee for the update. I do find myself wondering what you’re up to. You seem to be really loving and fun mom. Your boys are lucky. Also, you’re such a pretty mom. They will remember you that way for sure, no matter how long any of you lives. You have set the bar very high for the women in their future. Haha.
Aww Rebecca, you’re so sweet! I’ll keep you! 😂 You look pretty fabulous yourself ❤
Aaaw. You are too kind. Keeping you in my thoughts. Proud of how you’re handling the Kisgali. You are figuring it out. Smart tough lady❤
Feel Better Soon Dee And Pain Go Away 💪🙏🙏🔜😭❤️💕💖
Looking beautiful ❤ Keep fighting 💪
I m on chemopills now. Four rounds od two weeks and one week rest. In my restweek i get symptoms. They call it restweek, it is not. And yes, i have gained weight, i eat a lot...of junk! Before i was diagnosed i went to the gym every day. Be kind to yourself, mentally, it s ok. Everything with moderation and empty heads.
Hello my sweet friend Dee! I don’t care if you give us a short or long video I love them all!!! ❤ I am so glad for the good results and I myself had good results from a ultrasound and blood work, also I’ll be doing a bone scan next month and lords willing they will also see no evidence of disease for you and me both. You look amazing as always sweet Dee and know you are always in my thoughts and prayers ❤
Glad to hear your scan results were good! The aromatase inhibitors defintely make weight loss tough, just like any menopause. There are a lot of reasons why, partly because since your ovaries dont make estrogen so your body wants to hang onto fat because fat naturally produces estrogen.
Ive found it difficult to lose weight on my AI ( exemestane). Not impossible, but litterally about 4x as slowly as before starting it. Ive been doing 16hr fasting and low (ish) calories, sugar, and carbs. Its slow, but it has worked!
Yeah I’m the same! When I’m off it if I wanted to drop a few points on the scale before a holiday I could do it a month or two before…. But now you have to be soo careful of what you eat. I just hate feeling too tight in my clothes. It’s not like you go up in size everywhere so a bigger size doesn’t help 🫣 The struggle is real!! 😂😂
❤I love yr videos Dee! Love yr honesty and how you explain yr thoughts… Anyone on here commenting on what Dee or anyone else for that matter looks like is just a ridiculous human to me and their priorities are out of whack! I thought you looked great in yr last video… make up or no makeup you look great! And I have always thought that… for anyone out there dealing with ppl who comment on their looks, ignore the heck out of them! It says more about them that you❤️ so glad for you that they see no change in yr results, may it continue to only be positive news for you❤️ … very much understand yr concerns about yr boys.. as someone who worked in childcare I know a lot about child development so understand where yr coming from… yr doing a great job Dee! And don let anyone get away with telling you different 🤗❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this 🫂 hope you’re doing well!
Yes until they walk in your shoes they have no right comment
Gorgeous and strong ❤
You are BEAUTIFUL, RADIANT, FUNNY AND ADORABLE!!!! Love you and keep up the good spirit❤️😍👌👌✝️
It might not be the same thing, but I have been on abermaciclib for 18months now and it has only been the last 6 months, where it has taken off and my tumours has shrunk a lot, so keep hanging in there. Thanks for the update. Lots of love.
🤞🤞
That's encouraging, my wife has been on abemeciclib for 3 months now but she's struggling with side effects and her bloods keep dipping. All the best to you.
@@PaulWK1972 do you know what, the abemeciclib is actually horrendous in terms of side effects from what I’ve heard. Diarrhea is a main one. But the dosage can be lowered?
Ribociclib is mine… but from what I can gather it isn’t covered by a lot of insurance in the states so it’s not generally offered. But they all do the same thing, if she’s in a bad way they might change it for her? If it’s affecting her quality of life she shouldn’t accept it. ❤ 🤞
@@DeeDoherty Hiya Dee, she's very reluctant to come off it despite the side effects, because she wants to use every tool available to keep things at bay or even get rid of it for hopefully a very long while. The Abemaciclib does seem to have some very good results in trials.
So there's a scan early December, an oncology appointment mid December and we see where we are then. Hopefully the news will be positive and she can consider lowering the dose - there's 3 strengths and she's currently on the highest. So there's definitely room to manouvere if it's working and she wants to stay on.
Another thing about the abemaciclib is that they give it constantly rather than in 3 week on 1 week off cycles as you're on. Ironically it's working out that she has to take a week off anyway every month because of her bloods.
The oncologist did mention that she could lower the dose going forwards at her last appointment so I think that's what will happen x
@@PaulWK1972that sounds like a plan! Fingers crossed all goes well!!!
Hey girl! U need to make us another video we miss ya!❤️ From North Carolina
Good news, no change 👍
interesting observations. everything starts one day at a time, all over again. gr8 vid. _JC
Hi Dee, just wondering how you are this week. How are you feeling about Christmas? Love and best wishes to you 😊
I'm glad that you are doing well for the time being, a positive attitude help a whole lot with a dash of prayer that brings hope and peace, sometimes we think we are all alone but we always have the Lord by our side, I was wondering if you tried any of the mushrooms supplement I am trying it with my Arimidex with CBS capsules. I thought I will just share. Take care be positive with the God's help we can go through any difficult situation.
God's blessing and peace be with thee and your household.
hello beautiful. you look wonderful. im so pleased things are at a steady hang in there sweetheart hugs and love xx
I was on Aromatase inhibitors and had to take a break while on chemo and the first time taking it , caused weight gain… the second time around I did not feel the same. My appetite subsided which is great. Not sure if it was the break between or other factors.
Happy for you to be stable. Keto can't cure anyone just help and people acting like ayatollahs about nutrition for the cancer patients should consult a shrink. I have Ibrance and get a lot of fatigue too.
Consult a shrink 😂😂😂 👏👏
i wonder if semulglutide could starve the CA, & control the weight sfx. (tho cachexia would be a hesitation, & as you said: you were on keto prior - then gained weight during treatment, so.) thr is always more to know. thx, gr8 vid again. _JC

Have you tried any of the vaccines for BC- targeted therapy?
I was on the paleo diet when I found my tumor. Still paleo.
Hello Dee
Glad there is good news yea!
I honestly had ti giggle when the poolwater chnged your hair color. Years ago i dyed my hair burgundy. Being in the chlorinated water mine turned green! 😂
Back in the early 90s green hair wasn't a thing LOL.
Ignore the rude comments that's exactly what they are RUDE.
Sending hugs! 😊
I’m liking the peach colour now… have to fix the yellow patches haha! Aghhh green hair disaster 😅
@@DeeDoherty I think the peach is pretty! Have a beautiful holiday. ❤️
🙏❤️🌟💪
Hi lovey I was on Letrozol for 5 years and when I stopped the weight came off ❤
Yeah was the same when came off it, but then the cancer came back!
Girl I was on keto for years before I got cancer too! Keto isn’t gonna prevent cancer, but it will keep you from gaining weight while on hormone or anti hormone therapy. Also, frequent snacking, whether low carb or not, will keep our insulin spiking and that inhibits fat burning. Stick to 2 low carb meals a day & u won’t have a problem…but you may be miserable 😂
😭
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Alot of people have said they found out they had cancer and they ate keto. I don't know because I have to eat Low Fodmap. It's miserable. I honestly think you'll get cancer if you're going to get cancer. People are horrible. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
Glad to hear there is no growth. That is major!
Also prayers for you and your sweet boys. Your journey has been inspiring as I went thru my stage 3 journey.
I gained ten to fifteen pounds after I had to take steroids after an adverse reaction to immunotherapy a year and a half ago and still can't lose it. :(
😞😞😞😞
Why do we only ever hear the negative rubbish. Listen to the cheerleaders (us) we love you.
Did you have any low fever that would come and go ?
When? I usually run quite warm anyway so I only really check my temperature if I’m feeling really really bad.
Where is ur next video
😂
Promo>SM
Keto is not a cure but it can help you. If you gained on keto you may not have been doing it properly, it’s much more than just cutting carbs and sugar, Not quackery it’s facts look it up
You’ve misunderstood. Keto curing cancer is quackery. I gained on chemo (not doing keto obviously because I couldn’t eat). So the cure not the diet
Have you told your kids yet ?
Yep, included it in a previous video but yes.
The '"piss off '"!! Just spit out my water😂 I say that sh#t at least 2times a day! Getting my 3 month scans in December. Wish me luck. Bought a t-shirt for the occasion. Its a #scanxiety shirt and I think of you every time I wear it. (Its a face emoji and it says "hold your breath") iykyk😉
Hahaha, it has to be said! And ohhh my god the scan hold your breath, that’s brilliant!! 😂😂😂 wishing you aaaallll the luck 🤞❤️
