Double Mastectomy Surgery. The Hardest Part Of My Breast Cancer Treatment
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- This was the hardest part of Delia’s breast cancer journey, a double mastectomy (bilateral mastectomy). They remove all of the tissue in both breasts during this procedure. Chemotherapy had its own challenges with hair loss and various other side effects, but there was still the knowledge that her natural hair would eventually grow back and the side effects would subside over time that brought some comfort back. With this surgery, knowing that a large part of her womanhood was going to be permanently removed was a mental hurdle Delia had to overcome in the weeks leading up to the surgery.
Post surgery recovery was quite a bit more challenging as well. They placed drains on either side of her with tubes protruding out of the abdomen with open incisions. These along with the large incisions and metal expanders placed in her chest wall caused a lot of pain and discomfort, and eventually, an infection so bad she needed to be rushed to emergency surgery. We will document this in upcoming videos.
Despite this ongoing trial, Delia continues to do her best, wearing that radiant smile that lights up a room.

Seeing this brings tears to my eyes . My wife had this exact procedure from start to finish. I realized just how tough and beautiful women are. Be sure to support them any way we can.
Okay. As a nurse, I am VERY impressed with your entire explanation of the procedures and about what you can expect post-op. I swear, doctors should take notes. You explained everything perfectly, but you did it in a way that even medically illiterate people would absolutely understand. Very cool.
I agreed. They should incorporate her video in pre-op teaching. Very sweet voice and very clear with her explanations
I am also a nurse and am following Delia’s courageous journey. Delia, your explanations of your procedures are very understandable for the lay person. Stay strong young lady. I pray for you every day. Dylan, you are an amazing husband to your wife’s most challenging time of her life. I do have to say that when the dog was tucked under the blanket with u Delia had me sobbing. Our pets can be such a comfort. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are helping a lot of people.
I agree 👍 Monica. She is definitely a trooper.
I am a 55 year old guy who doesn't cry easily, however...this video was hard to watch without tearing up. You two are an amazing couple, I am praying for you both from Winnipeg, Canada
I’m only 8 min in and balling.
You're lucky, you have a lot of support. I'm a single mom and went through ovarian cancer all alone, 2 major surgeries, 6 rounds chemo, surgical menopause and now double mastectomy because of brca mutation. The hardest part is going through all of this alone and the very few people who are there even abandoning you in that situation.
Hey Delia, I'm sorry you have to go through this. I had my own bilateral mastectomy just over a year ago when I was 30. My diagnosis was similar to yours -- IDC, stage 3a, triple positive. My biggest advice to anyone going through this is to find a support group with other young women as soon as you can. Post-treatment is actually one of the most difficult times for a lot of women because you're finished with the "fighting" phase, and now have to face a new reality. I'm sure you've felt that way some already. YSC is a great organization for women diagnosed under the age of 40, because our experiences are quite different than older women going through this. They also have local chapters in a lot of areas. Listening to other women and getting advice and support is extremely liberating and powerful. We're now part of the worst club, with the best people. Hang in there, it definitely gets better. Sending love.
Daniele this was such a sweet message and intentional wealth of information for Delia. Bless you 🙏
What an angel she is!
and to answer your question....nope, I don't know anyone that beautiful!!
We went through this medical process with my mother about 7 years ago. It was difficult to see her deal with illness, our stalwarts matriarch. She also healed many in her line of work. But with the double mastectomy and reconstruction, she is able to not have to keep looking back and also was able to feel like a woman again with new boobs. She’s active and confident. She’s more spiritual. She’s also doing well. We’ve advocated for Breast Cancer Awareness and research. She still has to take medication for the rest of her life.
I just want to express how much I admire you. When I first watched your vlog, I saw this young woman who seemed to have everything. But then I started to see your spirit, kindness and goodness. You and your husband declare your faith and testify of all your mortal experiences. And still you work and give. Blessings of healing and light to you Sister in Christ. What an awe inspiring calling to have from Heavenly Father.
I really love that y’all shared the experience of the emotion without exploiting it, keeping it private while still be honest was so refreshing. Prayers going to you and your family, you’re so strong!
Losing your breast is no different than losing an arm or leg ect... you are losing something you were born with. Allow yourself to grieve and go through the steps of loss. And your husband is absolutely right, u were beautiful post op ❤ much love and prayers for you and your family
Omg...... I'm literally crying. Since the beginning of Delia's breast cancer journey I've been following along with you guys. My grandmother was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and has undergone 7 chemo cycles as of this month. This video in particular was the most hard for me to watch, knowing that my grandmother may very well undergo the same surgery. Delia is soo strong!!! I'm crying typing this! Wow!!!!! You guys will beat this!!!! ❤️
I had a mastectomy 5 years ago! Following the expanders I did daily radiation for 6 weeks. Prayers for you, you're a warrior and an inspiration. I am grateful for the perspective I have from my cancer experience. Be kind to yourself and patient with healing! This will be a distant memory soon! I was so very blessed with a supportive husband also who told me from day 1 that my beauty was not defined by a body part. Praise God for your incredible support system!
‘Beauty is not defined by a body part’ Amen 🙏🏽
Hey Delia! Praying over you. My family and I always have you in our hearts. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was in her mid 30s. She tested positive for the braca gene which lead my sisters and I to get tested for it. My younger sister who is 22 tested positive and in March will under hospice a double mastectomy and later she will go through the hysterectomy. You have been such a light in this season of life. Thank you for being so open, you help my little sister daily. We continue to pray over you. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you. You have no idea how helpful you have been
Delia, you are such an inspiration for everyone going through this journey as well as just an inspiration for every human!! I keep you and all of our pink sisters in my prayers daily. Kick cancer’s butt and FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!! 💗💗💗
Prayers for y’all. You two are a shining example of true love and marriage.
Oh Dylan, she is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. My heart goes out to her, wishing her a fast recovery and the best health forever. My heart goes out to you for being there for her and the best husband she could ever ask for…you’re both beautiful and such loving and supportive couple, you guy’s got this! The bedroom is gorgeous, nice job, Dylan! PS. Your doggie is precious, so cute. 💙💖🐾🐾🐶. 👍🥰♥️🌹xoxo
Bawling instantly when I saw how you decorated your house. You are the definition of a supportive and loving husband, through sickness and in health. Delia, you are so strong. You’re in my thoughts you beautiful strong girl!
I just went through this same surgery in July for triple negative breast cancer. Loosing your breasts is a very traumatic part of treatment, it was hard for me as well. I cried all the way back to surgery, your in my prayers.
Delia, I never thought you could get anymore beautiful than you are but you are truly an amazing human being. Will continue to send many prayers your way. And may I add…..you rock the short dark hair look. I love it. Love to you and Dylan! ❤️
Delia, you meet every challenge with grace and positivity. You are truly one of the strongest people I’ve ever seen! Dylan, you’re the best partner Delia could ever hope for. The bedroom decor was so sweet! Thanks to the doctors, nurses and medical staff that are helping Delia to beat this! 🥰
Stay Strong Delia and Dylan...
Sending prayers of healing... 🙏🙏🙏
The sweetest soul, my dear Delia, I hope you are healing well. I am in awe of your strength and acceptance of this experience in which you never asked for or expected. Dylan, it is beautiful the way you support your wife and inspiring to all of us. Sending all of the love and prayers possible, from Omaha, NE.
Stay Strong young Angel… you are an inspiration ! Be Patient … you will feel much better when this worry of cancer spreading is a thing of the past.
You have youth on your side and your inner strength and faith will make you whole once again.
Thank you for the update! Many prayers are going up for you. You will be amazed that how well you will heal from this surgery. My oldest sister had a mastectomy last April 2021, which was her second cancer diagnosis. Her cancer was caught early and she’s 73 years old and has dementia. I know several women that have walked this journey with amazing results. Be sure to eat plenty of protein. I am going to assume you also have a nutritionist as part of your team. So sorry to see at the end of the video that shows that you had to go back to surgery. Continued prayers for you and your caregivers 🙏❤️🌷
Praying for a complete recovery. She has a good nurse Dylan!!!
My heart just goes out to both of you-to Delia for being so brave in spite of all the harrowing twists and turns she has faced/faces, and to Dylan for being so brave in his own realm of fear and uncertainty while remaining supportive. I know it would be difficult to be in either of your places, but you handle this journey with such grace, hope, and love. You’re both in my thoughts and prayers, always. ♥️
I’m watching this at 5:30am sobbing because you inspire me so much .. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and will be having a double mastectomy as well , thank you for this video & congratulations on being a breast cancer survivor! ❤🎉
I just found your channel. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on July 23, 2020 and had a double mastectomy on sept 2,2020. It’s a very hard journey. It changes you. I pray you don’t have any more complications and can heal quickly. Sending prayers your way. 🙏🏻
What was your original diagnosis?
Sending love and prayers to you both on your journey. My 29 year old son had leukemia when he was 13, it was the hardest thing we ever had to go through, watching someone you love go through such a awful time is horrendous. You are a very brave caring women who has a wonderful loving family surrounding her. 💕
Delia you are so strong ,I can’t even imagine. I have a feeling you are going to rock this and you can do anything .You are one hell of a woman,will be praying for you and your family . Keep the faith god will get you thru this.
Girl, wear those scars with pride! You are a warrior and those are your battle scars. My daughter and I had double mastectomies as a preventive after testing positive for the Chek 2 gene and tons of breast cancer in my family. Best decision I ever made! You go girl!
🛐
I'm so sorry she is dealing with this. Ty for being so supportive Dylan and family. I hope you are feeling better Delia! Prayers 🙏🏾

My mom just got diagnosed with breast cancer and ngl I was very scared but seeing your strength throughout the process has really helped with my nerves and my prayers are going your way🙏🏽
Appendix cancer survivor myself, two surgeries, drain tubes and all so I know how that part feels. Eight hours of surgery with heated interperitoneal chemo three years ago, been cancer free ever since, and prayer is the best thing anyone could do for me at that time. Had friends praying from as far away as Brazil, SA, wonderful church family here praying, people fasting, etc.
Delia - You’re so brave and I’m so proud of your positivity during this challenging time. You’ve got this! Find strength in the friends and family around you, take their love and use it to heal.
Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏 it means alot to me you make me have strength . Just found out I have colon cancer which spread to both lungs and liver really they said my whole stomach is full of cancer . I start Chemotherapy Wednesday just got my port and then major surgery with a colostomy bag and you give me so much hope and strength to get through this . Thank you so much for sharing I pray for you everyday 🙏 ❤

I have no words. Delia you are so calm and so beautiful in your struggles. I pray for your healing.
Thank you so much for showing the surgery process! I am a PA in general surgery and we do these types of surgeries often. You are so strong! Sending good vibes your way ❤️

I’ve just started chemo for stomach cancer. I have to say that she is a huge example to me. I feel so alone right now. Some of my friends r saying they can’t just watch me die. So they walked away. Thank goodness for my medical service dog, other dog, kitty and fish.
Thank u for inspiring so many. Much love from Kentucky, Lesley and Service Dog Jake. (And of course my other pets. ) we r thinking of u all and praying for u all. U are my hero. And I hope I’ll someday find a man like this. #relationshipgoals.

I’m almost turning 35. And went through everything you did in August of 2020. Everyone was always saying how positive I was and still am and always had a smile on my face. The double mastectomy changed my life. And I still have my highs and lows. But we’ll get through this. You’re so beautiful Delia. I wish you a fast and speedy recovery. You got this! 💕
Much love and prayers from Kentucky, Lesley and Service Dog Jake.

God bless you both and I hope to hear good news and may the process and this journey still help you both know that you are loved. ❤❤🩹❤
Both me and my sister went through breast cancer and it’s wasn’t hereditary. They called it spontaneous even though we both had the same type of cancer, HER 2 positive. My sister has been cancer free for 11 yrs and it’s been 4 yrs for me ( 6 rounds of chemo, 32 radiation, monthly herceptin for a yr, lumpectomy that ended up producing fluid and took 1 yr to remove from the last day from radiation, cardiomyopathy & sepsis). It’s not an easy road but overall, you will be able endure it. The hardest part of my journey was the moment of getting the diagnosis. All of the treatments that lies before you will be tough and exhausting but you can overcome it. You have an amazing husband that is supportive to go through your journey and I pray and wish you all the best.
This was so hard to watch for me. I had stage 3 TNBC. Bilateral mastectomy in May 2020. 16 chemo and 16 rads. The day after my mastectomy I was rushed back into surgery because I was bleeding out. This was due to complications of my daily medication. I am on Coumadin. A blood thinner. Anyway. I was diagnosed 4/8/2020. I had such a great support system. I'm very thankful for all of the help and kindness. I'm grateful to God that I am alive. My tumor was in 2 pieces which was about 7 cm(i think?) It was the size of a lemon. I also had cancer in 6 lymph nodes and they removed 18. I had a horrible time with the drains. One even fell out a month later. Anyway, I forced myself to watch this. It is still traumatic for me. All that I went through. All the emotions. All the little setbacks. But, I'm alive and I'm happy. I did not choose reconstruction. I chose to just have both removed and to just go flat. I am happy with my choice and happy everyday that I get to live. God Bless you and I'll be watching ❤
Delia I'm in awh of your strength more and more with each video🙏🏼 thank you for doing this💗💗 you're Ann amazing person and you're gonna be an even better momma soon!
Delia, you're the best, from afar we are all seeing the warrior you are and how strong you are. Keep it up lady, this is just a bump in the road to more of your greatness. 💕
You WILL come through this & live to see your great...... great.... grandchildren! Also, what's possible with reconstruction now-days is nothing short of phenomenal! Your husband, family & most of all God will get you through with total success! Then.... after that, your children will be born & you will start your immediately family. My sister-in-law (years ago) had a double mastectomy in her late 20's with reconstruction & she is doing 100% fine! Their 2 sons are in their teens now & she's looking forward to one day being a grandmother! You WILL make it! God bless!!
You’re very strong and very poised throughout it all which I’m sure isn’t easy. And I think it’s really nice that you’re comfortable documenting and sharing this ordeal on TH-cam because inevitably it will help other women going through the same or similar journeys. I hope you’re doing well, both mentally and physically.
Side note: I do hope that if and when you feel like having a breakdown or a tantrum that you allow yourself to do that. Sometimes we all just need to have our moments. I think it’s quite healthy to just let your emotions out and be unapologetic about it every once in a while.
The love these two share is beyond amazing and their love will carry them through the healing process. God bless you both...
Your husband is a diamond. Hang on to him. I wished I had someone like that to go through this with me. God bless both of you
A true warrior women. I live in Utah and I hope 1 day I get to meet you and tell you how inspirational you truly are. Delia you are so amazing and thank you for being brave enough to share your story even though it’s so personal and such a hard thing to go through. I hope you have a quick recover from surgery keep being a warrior Princess ✌🏼💜
I wish with all my heart that all the difficulties pass and that the rest of your life is blessed and full of joy ... I send you a lot of love and positive energy from Greece
You two are so lucky to have the love of each other that you do. Delia is one strong woman and hubby is giving the best support anyone could ever ask for.
Sending ❤. Stay strong both of you x
Proud of you. I had a phyllodes tumor at 16 years old. Was the first in the family to have breast cancer. Sending love. You're never alone.
You are such a beautiful couple. My grandmother had cancer at 78 she to went thru double mastectomy.it broke my heart to see the pain she was in. That was 30 years ago and the medical technology they have today is much further advanced. So happy to see your positivity and to see u have a smile on your face even in such painful trying times. I wish u all the best in your recovery and hope your pain lessens daily. You are an inspiration girl… you are so positive and you can feel the love and light you to bring to your videos and your lives.The love u have for one another is so heartwarming. And to see someone love another with every breath is an amazing thing.I’ve been married 33 years now and we’ve been thru hell and back and lost everything because of the pandemic. If I didn’t have him I would be lost. So it’s nice to see u two portray such a beautiful life. Love every moment. Because of pandemic so many have lost it all. We have no home now lost our cars etc but we have each other and love is all that matters in the end. Thank u for sharing this journey so openly… and good luck on a speedy recovery.
I’m so sorry. This makes me cry and hurt for you all. I pray and hope her beautiful smile will soon be healed 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Delia you are handling this with grace. Dylan that's so sweet and the look on Delia's face is priceless. I teared up seeing the room .
No words…… honoring your strength and the love of your husband
Adding my prayers to the thousands. You are an incredible, beautiful and strong person. Bless you🙏.
your journey has me in tears often not from sorrow but from astonishment, respect, and gratitude for the LOVE between you both. God bless you. My finance and I are marrying this year and your journey reminds me of what a faithful marriage is - loving in sickness, health, good times and bad.
I am so grateful that I ran across your site! I just finished chemo last week. I am soooooo terrified about going through the surgery. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
Please let us know how Delia is doing after her second admission please. Concerned in Michigan 💖💕
Delia you are the most soft spoken warrior I have ever seen. Thoughts and prayers with you wishing and praying for a very fast recovery from. this infection. You'll get there girl, and so many will be sharing your journey.
What an angel warrior! You are smart, strong, beautiful and brave! Thank you for your honesty and faith. Sending love and prayers.
Dylan you're right....."pure beauty ". You both are remarkable, strong and amazing.
So glad you have your own "private nurse" aka fur baby; they are the best nurse ever! My Jack Russell stuck to me like Velcro the first week I was home
I'm so sorry you had to go through something so awful. I have a deep emotional connection to my breasts and I think it would be hell for me to go through something like that. I wish all women in the world a lot of strength to get through something like this. Above all, a lot of strength, the new body feeling or unfortunately no longer a feeling to accept and deal with it emotionally positively. All the best for the future, health for body and also mentally.
All the very best for a speedy recovery. Had my Double Mastectomy on January 11 and healing slowly.
You are so beautiful and strong...hugs from South Africa xo
