Hi marina. I’m starting week four post mastectomy and diep flap surgery. I have two new boobs made out of my own skin and fat. Belly is flatter too. I have to try and see the positives in all this tragedy that cancer is. I was told I am now cancer free as both my lymph nodes and breast tissue tested negative for cancer. Woot woot! Now I finish my surgery recovery and then start radiation. I can’t wait for all this to be over
I was too, but what helped me is to not look ahead, rather staying in the moment. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, or watch funny shows/movies. Laughter helps so much! Many good blessings your way! You got this! 🙂🙏
Marina the only way i have made it through this cancer journey is by connecting myself with God ,i couldnt of made it, Hus strength is whats helped me. I'm just finishing 12 cycles of taxol and going into 4 more cycles of this Red Devil, then breast surgery.
Yes, the steroids in the premeds speed us up. They act on our adrenal glands. Even at a lower dose, I couldn't sleep well during chemo. This gets better once you're done with chemo.
I hate that I missed your live, but I had chemo yesterday, and I needed a nap. Lol I developed an allergy to the Carboplatin yesterday, so now I am officially allergic to both that and taxol. Thankfully, I only have 1 more cycle of taxol left before my A/C. Fingers crossed, I can get through without any other issues
Oh my goodness. I hope you do well with your last Taxol. That is hard! Missed seeing you too! Maybe you can join the next one! Tuesday, May 21 @ 9am PT
I stayed hydrated with water and soup. I never lost my appetite for long I think because of the steroid. If you lose your appetite, your body might be doing some healing. I think it’s OK as long as you stay hydrated and talk to your medical team.

Hi! Thank you for sharing. It is such a tragedy. I’m glad surgery is done for you. Can’t wait for you to be done with treatment too!
Dang!!! Missed the live. 🙁 You took me back to the Oprah/Jerry S/ Maury after-school days. 😅 Yes!!!
Ha ha ha! You feel me? Always love seeing you comment. ❤️❤️
Just found your channel and I'm starting chemo in 2 days and I'm scared of all that brings.
I was too, but what helped me is to not look ahead, rather staying in the moment. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, or watch funny shows/movies. Laughter helps so much! Many good blessings your way! You got this! 🙂🙏
Stay hydrated and let your team know if you have any issues. Wishing you the very best 🩷

Oops just realized I missed your "real" talk. Was watching replay!

Hear you 😄
What did you do when lost appetite?
I stayed hydrated with water and soup. I never lost my appetite for long I think because of the steroid. If you lose your appetite, your body might be doing some healing. I think it’s OK as long as you stay hydrated and talk to your medical team.
U look fantastic
Thank you 😊
Have a hard time connecting with your live talk. Do I need to "sign up" or log in differently?? I try to watch all of your vlogs, lives ...
