- In this video I'm telling my breast surgery story - all the details. I have been honest, as always. It's a tell all/show all kind of video. There may be some parts that some people don't want to see! If you are squeamish this is your warning - just turn it off :)
Thank you for watching!

![my first week of chemo... [weekly vlog.]](/img/n.gif)
I am going through stage 3 breast cancer over the last year. I've had a double mastectomy and 8 of my 9 lymph nodes removed on the right side. I went through 33 sessions of radiation. Now I am waiting for my reconstruction surgery to be scheduled. The doctor told me I had to wait 3 months after my last radiation treatment for the reconstruction surgery to be done. I've finally healed from my 2nd degree burns caused by the radiation. I thank you for sharing your story to help others.
My darling girl you are so gorgeous. Your “warrior scars” comment made me cry. I feel incredibly proud to have mine and I think some people find that hard to understand. Our club is not one I wanted to join but I’m happy to wear my scars as a badge of honour.
You look amazing. So happy to see you looking so well so soon after surgery. Keep going my pink sister 💕💕💕
Hi Nikki ❤ I don't have cancer, but for the last 10 years I have participated in the CIBC Run for the Cure. It's a 5km run/walk to raise funds for breast cancer. Even though I've not been affected, this is a cause I've always felt strongly in supporting. I truly am in awe of the women (and men) who have fought this fight! Your scars are definitely something to be proud of and I give you mad props!
Sending love from Canada ❤
Crissy D you are awesome. I pray you never join the club! I was diagnosed in Sept and had a double mastectomy soon after. I’m also proud of my scars and I don’t wNt a tattoo to cover my badges of honor. 👍 Thanks for all you do for the cause!!! 💕
I loved your comment of warrior scars, very inspirational and true! I have had a lumpectomy + LN axillary dissection 2x (3pos), and i understand your arm pain, I'm still in phys therapy. I will be undergoing chemo later this week, but I too consider myself a Warrior. Emotion can creep up and be very confusing, on one hand you are determined to get through this journey a fighter, but sometimes may wonder how this happened to me? Keep going sista', i tell myself the same. It's also wonderful to have a partner elevate their love and support for you. Stay alive and Warrior beautiful!!!
My journey was 22 yrs ago. My husband was supportive and loving and he helped me make it thru. Love your attitude and your a fighter. God Bless You. My daughter at this time has breast cancer and she has to do chemo first.
My best friend just been diagnosed and I'm binge watching all you videos to know how to help her. Thank you for getting the courage to make these videos. Theye are very honest ans easy to understand, its like you are taking with a good friend that is telling you Ive been through it so you can also fight this.
Elena Arango thank you xoxo I hope your friend copes well
Hello Dee, I am a breastie too and have lymphoedema in my right arm. Can I suggest that you 'walk' your arm up a wall as if your hand were a spider, do it slowly and try to go just a bit further up each day. Once your radiotherapy and surgical scars have healed it would be great to go swimming. It really helps with range of movement and also with lymphoedema. Stay strong, you are doing really well. XX
Marisa Ladogana thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will for certain try this!! X
If no one else has told you this today, please let me tell you how absolutely stunning & inspirational you are! You're so incredibly beautiful without hair and may you come to embrace your scars as a badge of honor. They're a physical representation of your undeniable courage & strength. You have such an effervescent spirit & you radiate a light from within that could brighten anyone's day. There's no doubt in my mind that to know you is to love you. Keep being you because you're such an amazing warrior!❤️
Sassy_N_Sweet GeorgiaPeach thank you xx I love this
Oh Sweet Dee, you are such an inspiration to us all. Your honesty is so much appreciated. Praying for you always❤
You are amazing!!!! You have no idea how helpful this is and the way you deliver the good the bad and the ugly. Going through all of this in a couple of weeks. You are my hero!! I hope you are back to living again and that all of this is behind you.
Your such a trooper. Keep your chin up as much as much as possible. You are surrounded with love! Prayers for you and your family going up daily.
You are brave and be proud of winning this battle, life is priceless!
You are very brave . How about walking and taking care of yourself .
I knew it was tough or could only imagine but when you showed the area with the dressing and drain..wow...And watching you do the therapy with your arm... just so much more respect for y9ur fight!! I would just be in frantics and full of tears and anxiety.. you're so strong!!!!
I am going in for a breast biopsy in the morning. I love watching your videos. You always have such a beautiful glow. You are truly a inspiration to everyone!! Keeping you in my prayers 🙏🏼
Thank you Dee for sharing your experiences which is so generous of you to do. I am going through chemo now with the same situation you have gone through. I am grateful to you for opening up about it all. I am scared but feel more prepared after watching you. Your my inspiration & you are always in my heart & prayers, bless you darling, Lisa Melbourne Australia
Your video was suggested to me by TH-cam. I'm so blessed to listen to you a day after Christmas. I'm watching from South Africa and I needed to hear the message of self love because I battle with loving my flaws daily. Thanks for your beautiful soul, it illuminates through you like a halo. I'm so humbled by your bravery too. I know that behind the scenes a lot goes on with facing the experiences. You're absolutely stunning and inspirational to me as a woman. Nobubele Kreusch 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤
You are so super strong hun. Thankyou for explaining everything in detail. I have my own battle with my health but watching your journey really helps me to understand we all have our own battles, and battles get scars so wear them with pride not shame. Your a huge inspiration, sending love and hugs and fairy dust xxx
That’s so sweet. Thank you. Hope you are doing ok!
Every time you laugh and every time you cry I do too! They are your beautiful warrior scars and I hope you every single time you see them reminds you of just how strong and courageous you are and how hard you fought for your life and embrace them...What I love so much about you is how vulnerable you allow yourself to be with us and you do it so gracefully...I'm so happy you trust us enough to allow yourself to be so raw and so honest and I absolutely admire that..Stay strong...sending hugs your way from the US..
Your in our thoughts and prayers always...xo Hydie 💕💪💕💪💕💪💕💪💕💕💕
You have an amazing perspective about warrior scars! Super cool!
I found out a month ago that I have stage 2 Melanoma so I was looking online for cancer stories to prepare myself for surgery and lymph node biopsy to see if it has spread further...hopefully soon. I came across your videos and I obviously do not have breast cancer but your personality, strength, honestly, vulnerability, humor and cute as a button face has really helped me. Thank you for allowing others to follow you through this time. I have watched all your videos and you are truly a breath of fresh air. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Kick its ass and stay strong, we are all here with you. ❤️ -Kailen from San Diego, California US
Yo HaiKai ah thank you, how lovely!! I hope treatment goes well for you - I know our chemos will be different but I hope it is not too harsh for you!! Best of luck!
I just wanted to let you know that watching your video and seeing your strength has been hugely moving and very inspirational. I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer myself and have started making videos about the process, and you have been amazing to watch whilst I've been going through it. I wish you lots of love and luck on your journey. XX
Nisha Leela thank you Nisha! I’ve just subscribed to you! Wishing you all the best x
All of us have warrior scars...you are the same beautiful woman you were just with a scar that any one would still love you for..it doesnt make someone fall out of love with you...if that was the case i would of been divorced long ago than my 26 years of marriage...our scars, no matter visable or not, make us stronger... im so in awe of you..your strength radiates from you...best of luck
Michele Smyers yes, I had put out on Instagram in the morning that anyone could ask any questions. It was someone else’s question. As I said, he and I are on the same page about it all x thanks
I thank u so much for this videos. I just found out my wife has cancer today and I've been watching videos on here to learn about cancer n your positive attitude n how detail u r really help me. I hope u n ur family my best wishes.
You are so beautiful with or without scares! You should become the face of National Cancer Association! I am so proud of you for sharing your experience with the world!
Thank you so much x this is such a kind message
You are a very beautiful woman! That you for sharing your journey. It is helping me with what I am fixing to have done. One of your videos helped me at my surgeons appointment. I have to have my left breast completely removed too. I found some PJs that unbutton to get ready for my surgery. Thank you! You are a true warrior! Hope you have a speedy recovery. Prayers.
What a fantastic detailed description of your surgery Dee! Well done! As you know, I too just had a mastectomy with lymph node removal, and I’m happy to know the pain I’m feeling is part of the ‘normal’ healing process. The upper arm area in particular, and the cording pain is the hardest part for me. I’m doing my physio, 2-3 times a day, but each morning it feels like I’m starting at day 1 again! Gets easier towards the end if the day tho. Enjoy your break away, as it’s well deserved for ye both I’m sure. Fingers crossed the good weather will stay too cause isn’t everywhere nicer when the sun shines! 😉 Well done again. You should be very proud of yourself. ❤️
Lisa Wallace ah Lisa, I’m hoping for a speedy recovery for you too x
Dee; I have followed you from your diagnosis all the way thru to your surgery and now recovery. I actually looked forward to your next installment as it was like visiting with a friend. I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer (DCIS, stage 3, triple positive) in June 2018. You have been such an inspiration, given me hope and strength during my chemo with A/C just when I wanted to give up as I was so sick and debilitated from that awful "red devil." I'm thrilled to see that you are doing much better and still giving out useful information for us Pink Warriors that are a few steps behind you. You tip on getting a bumbag for your drains is great. I was wondering what I was going to do with drains coming out of both sides of me as I am having a double mastectomy in January. I have been ripped apart after 6 months of chemo. My body is feeling the effects of Taxol and I'm tired and just plumb worn out. But I realize that the hardest part hasn't even gotten here. I still need to face surgery and I haven't yet decided if I will go flat or have reconstruction using my own tissue. I just don't want implants after doing my research on them and listening to other women in my support group. It's a monumental life changing decision. We all make the decision that suits us best and I will get there just as you did and come out of all of this crazy cancer journey stronger. I too pan on wearing my scars as my badge of courage. Stay healthy and strong. Sending hugs and well wishes from the states. XX Karen
I’ve had a mastectomy without reconstruction it brings memories back for me your lovely inside and out never forget that hunny 🙏🌺💗💕
Thank you for your videos, you're such an inspiration ! I've been diagnosed with breast cancer few weeks ago and it's been hard to deal with it... Your videos have helped me a lot ☺ thank you !
Hope you are well on your way to full recovery. Your video is enlightening and encouraging to everyone that's facing M & B surgery.
You are a lovely person.❤️❤️❤️praying for you and your recovery.
I see this video is from 4 years ago, but thank you for allowing us to see your journey. I’ll be having a double mastectomy in a few days. This actually made me feel better. You got through it like a champ! Thank you! Wish you well! 🌸
Wow, Thank you for telling us your incredible story. You are amazing. Im a mature student nurse in my final year. You are a true inspiration. and an amazing person. Your videos have really touched me. thank you for sharing. Hope you end your story with a full recovery. xx
You are an inspiration to me. I look at your videos and they give me great and accurate information as I fight my battle. God bless you and your family.
Vienna griffin thank you, I am so glad it has helped you! X
I don't have the same cancer as you but your videos are getting me through my chemo right now. You are doing more good than you know. Thank-you for speaking so openly and clearly about it all. All the best, Jill
Jill Macmurray thank you Jill! I hope you’re coping ok - it will be over before you know it!!
You are, and continue to be, an inspiration. Please let your husband know what a lucky man he is; although: scratch that - he seems to know already. God bless you both.

A lovely warrior you are. A perfect video for those of us new to cancer. Thank you
oh honey! I cried right with you. I feel your pain and it sounds like your mate loves you so much and you love yourself so much and let me tell you...you are so gorgeous in and out! Many blessings to you and a speedy recovery. My sister passed away from breast cancer. She was 25 years old when diagnosed and 35 when she passed away. You look so good and proud of your strength❣️🤗
So sorry to hear about your sister! Love and light ❤️
Hi Dee,
You and your videos are great. Your clear, simple explanation of everything is just so helpful --and needed. I love your no-nonsense, positive delivery. And although the subject is of course serious, it seems you're someone who lives on the lighter side of life.
I'm pulling for you and wishing you all the best.
Hilary K. in NYC
Sara Seelig thank you!
Thank you for your honesty and strength. I needed to hear what you had to say as I begin my journey.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us. I am praying for your complete recovery.
Thank you beautiful being. I’m going for chemo # 5 tomorrow
You helped me turn the corner with my attitude and I am feeling more optimistic
How you keep your energy to do these blogs is most amazing.
Graceful gratitude gorgeous 💜🙏🏽💖🦋
Diane Paull thank you very much! I wish you the best of luck tomorrow! You got this!💪
I'm so proud all of Us. We are more strong now. I'm waiting for my mastectomy and reconstruction at the same time. I was so scared but I realized I'm in good hands. God bless me and put in my way all persons that have helped me. I pray one day the medicine can find the cure at this terrible illness. God bless you
That’s a beautiful way to think Marina x Hope everything is good with the surgery x
There's a great group on FB for DIEP reconstruction, lots of pink sisters and people considering/preparing for DMX and other types if reconstruction.
you're my inspiration!!.. i am going to my 3 , and hope my last chemo treatment, and watching you gives me so much hope!!,, you are so brave and beautiful God bless you!! thank you so much!!!
Thank You Dee, you are an inspiration to those that will have to go through this. Doctors and surgeons explain things, but you explain more in layman's terms which is easily understood. I enjoyed seeing it as well, just talking is not enough, you have been a tremendous help. Now I can explain to my niece, or better still I will show her your video. She does not have access to the internet believe it or not.
IT's So Nice to Meet You Dee ~ 🎉CONGRATS!!🎉 on 5000 (not surprising tho💖) Subcribers!

I ADORE YOU & how you are totally open & honest about everything.

Jen Monk thank you Jen x
Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your experience! I have surgery in 5 days. You are so beautiful and inspiring!
I hope you are recovering well today :)
Ive never seen anyone rock a bald head like you do. Beautiful!! ❤
My heart goes out for you as you endure this treatment. I am waiting right now for results from my lumpectomy, left breast as well. Not sure why I am not upset however just went through over a year with husband having leukemia so maybe it was a way of preparing me. My lymph nodes were swollen but they want to watch it for now. Just letting you know I am here with you in thought and prayers going out for a quick recovery.
You are a very kind, and strong woman. Prayers to you my dear!!!
I salute to your personality! I am inspired so much to accept what I am about to be facing. I will have mastectomy and will wear the scar as something that I must accept with positivity. I admire you for loving or liking self. Thank you for sharing your journey. 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for sharing, I'm going through this at the moment, it's really helpful seeing your video, your truly remarkable. x
I want to thank you for your videos. I am going through chemo now. In July I am going to have the surgery, lymph node removal and all, then radiation (radio therapy). Knowing what's ahead helps me prepare. You are amazing. Your video is fantastic and I thank you for having the courage to record your journey and help people like me who are now having to face this battle. Love and prayers to you, Brenda
Brenda Nutter thank you Brenda x I hope you are keeping well
Dee you are so brave and beautiful. It was so emotional watching your video seeing you getting so upset. I am praying for you and your family. Cancer is evil. I e seen it first hand with my mum and just recently my brother..it was so hard seeing them suffer. All of us out here can’t take your pain or suffering away ,but be sure that we are all rooting for you and we are doing that with love.

Allah bless you health
Warrior's scars, indeed! You're a POWERHOUSE, Woman but it's ok to cry too... You seem worried about crying... After all you've been through, your feelings DO MATTER. You don't have to push these aside. Warriors cry too, Baby Dee... The tougher they seem, the more they've cried, Love.
I commend you for your Courage and for being Human and crying as well.
You're PERFECT "AS IS", Little Flower!!

Hi Dee, Thank you for you're videos. I am on this horrific journey, two chemos left and then surgery and radiation. I try to stay positive but as you know it isn't easy but what choice do we have but to keep on with this battle. For someone so young to of had to go through this you are truly amazing. I only hope I can be as courageous through this as you have been. All the best and God bless Helen x
Helen Mogford what a lovely message! So sorry for you Helen - you will definitely make it through!! Only two left - you’re braver than you think xx
I do hope you are well today. I recently finished chemo and my tests are coming back clear :)
I had a double mastectomy and 3 node dissection on both sides 8 months ago. I had over the muscle implants put in immediately after the mastectomy so it was all done in one surgery. Sending lots of LOVE!!!
Oh, I also had lymphedema in my right arm but has resolved due to physical therapy and a lymphedema sleeve
chele10580 hey... I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently going through chemo before surgery.. I am planning a double mastectomy too and is terrified of the after surgery and the lymphedema.. did you go to a special physical therapy if so how many times a week? Thank you so much in advance
How is everything going since getting nodes out on both sides? I'm probably looking at that since both areas on me have very large nodes (over 3.5cm)
Any radiation for you or chemotherapy? Was the much aftercare from plastic surgery? Did you get nipple tattooed on? I was just diagnosed and no stage has been discussed. Help
❤God Bless you my dear you are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this challenging time in your life. My daughter is going through hers also and I want to share your story with her. You are in my prayers as well as you loved ones. The beauty is not your scars but that you are alive and still with us.
Thank you for sharing. I too am a breastie and am currently going thru treatment. You are brave and amazing! Stay beautiful and strong.
Hi Dee, My name is Ken, in 2020 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, it had progressed so far that the bladder couldn't be saved. I had to go through several rounds of chemo treatments that ended with an 8 hour surgery to remove my bladder and add a stoma. During the chemo treatments I watched several of your video's. I just wanted to say thanks, they taught me a lot about what to expect during these treatments. I hope things are going much better for you now, and thanks again.
I’m so sorry u had to go threw all of that U ARE A STRONG WOMEN AND GOD FAVOR U CAUSE U SURVIVED IT AND U ARE A BEAUTIFUL MY SURGERY WAS JAN 3 WE ARE WALKING MIRACLES
I'm so sorry you were made to cry. 😢. I love your videos, and good gracious I love you, too! Warrior is YOU! 💕💓💞
Oh my god , I can’t believe it…people can be so rude to ask you that . You are gorgeous with or with out any scars. ♥️
There is more to you than a breast, yes it's sad to have them removed . Your Husband fell in love and still in love with you not because of your breasts. You are a beautiful, strong brave woman. God Bless x
johanna thanks haha! I am well aware! 😁
GOD bless you! Big battles are given to trusted and strong soldiers! Love you much! I am going through it too. ❤️😘
You are a "Warrior", and I am so glad you have that Special person to love you no matter what. Thanks for your words of encouragement. Thanks for sharing 🙏
I'm so sorry you've had to go though this. Your a Beautiful Woman and I can guarantee you that any Man would tell you that's Not a terrible Boob.
I hope you feel better every day.
My wife just had a Mastectomy and today is been one week since the surgery. She's doing better than I would have thought. She's slow getting around and has the next month off of work so she's been taking it easy. I've been making all the meals and doing laundry and helping her in anyway I can.
My Mom had a Mammogram while my wife was going though this and she got a call back.
Turns out she has stage 1 Breast Cancer. I just can't believe it.
Best of luck to you. Thanks for sharing your story. it makes me mad women have to go though this.
Thank you for sharing. Everyone talks about how curable this cancer can be but no one mentions the recovery and all that comes with it. You are beautiful and strong. Keep going!😊👏🏾💪🏾
A true warrior, god continue to bless you. Thank you for sharing your story.
you are such a lovely lady! Warrior INDEED!!!! xoxoxo
I am going through my chemotherapy journey now, then I’ll have surgery then radiation. You are super strong which helps me to remain brave throughout this. I have moments or anxiety or minor fears, but it helps to watch these videos and to discuss my fears with my doctors and my family. Big Hugs to you and I’m hoping for your to continue to heal.🤗💕🤗💕
DA Clarke thank you! Hope you are coping ok! The AC is very tough, you’re nearly there!!

Hi Dee, thank you very much for taking the time to do the video, it is really helpful for someone who is going on the same path. I am just disappointed that in Belgium they do not use the Jackson Pratt and the Pico dressing - would be so much easier. Instead after the operation a lot of liquid is collecting in the cavity of mastectomy and all they can do is to extract it with drain. However all these punctions decrease a lot the quality of life, especially after 6 weeks from operation and still don’t see an end of it.
Hope you have been doing well and making lots of progress with your healing :)
Hi from Ontario Canada, I am oh so glad that I found you, I have my surgery next Tuesday, just so happens, right after our Canadian Thanksgiving.
Darlene Leach ah, wishing you the best of luck with it!
The injury to the ribs caused the lymphedema, you needed help healing your ribs with less lymph action. That's only my opinion. Your my heroine. You go girl. My prayers are with you for a cancer free life from here on out.
You are very brave. Thank you so much for sharing ur journey. I sure Its helping a lot of women with cancer. Thank you. God bless you!
May you keep getting better n better. May you be in remission and completely cancer free forever. You are a warrior. God bless. 🤗🤗🥰🥰❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😘😘😘
Iam going thru this right now stage 3 and going to have chemo surgery and radiation. Watching your videos have helped me more than you’ll know. Thanks for sharing. I wanted to do my journey but just not as organized to do it.
you are a beautiful woman i recently came across you're video and im glad im going thru something similar on September i was diagnosed with breast cancer in stage 1 on the right boob but on my case they first did surgery and im still healing they recently toll me im going to do 4 runs of chemo so you are helping me understand things thank you for sharing you're journey and keep swimming 😘
Lorena's Vlogs what was your stage?
Girl you got me with the "but their my warrior scars"! I just had a mastectomy for breast cancer and I cry every night because I feel so inadequate without a breast..I guess in time it wont hurt so much😞
Rose R this is so sad 😞 you are definitely not inadequate x you’re a hero and one day very soon you’ll look at yourself and see that xx big hugs
You are whole in your soul. XXXOOO
you are a beautiful brave warrior dee. keep fighting,
Dee you are truly a warrior 👑
Hi girl my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and i have to say you are brave and a true warrior I need advise how to help my mother threw this she is on stage 4 her left arm is no longer working and she stress alot about it wish you all the best...
Hello sweetheart I just discovered your videos and I love them they are so great and informative! I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and have been through one round of chemo. Watching our videos has given me hope that I will get through this!!
Megan Meyer thank you for your lovely message! I hope it all goes really well for you x
Hi dear, thanks for sharing. I 've got breast cancer and has to do surgery.Did not want to but I had surgery 7 yrs ago so I've got one nippleless breast. Reocurence Oct 2020. Had the necessary tests so far. Soo!!!
Thank God for bringing you through safely. God bless you richly. Stay safe. Luv ya lots.
Pam.
You are such an inspiration!
I wonder if immediate lymphodeema is more common for younger women. I had my mastectomy two months ago wiith sentinel nodes removal and it occurred also immediately after surgery. That arm is still bigger than my other arm, but it’s getting less.
Also I like to mention, in the Netherlands (where I live) we get a heart shaped pillow for under your armpit (it gives great support while you lay down those first days!) and a small fabric bag for the drain pot, made my volunteers from the breast cancer foundation. It’s so sweet and I really appreciated it!
I hope you’re doing well and the cancer is gone for good. My breast cancer turned out to be metastatic and I have 2 tumors in my liver and one metastasis in my pubic bone. Tomorrow is the second attempt to get a representative biopsy of the liver metastasis. The result will end up in the best treatment plan and prognosis. Thank you for your informative videos! 💋
In Jesus name God will heal you
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You are an amazing and beautiful soul. I pray you will be well forever and ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for these videos. My wife is currently going through this process except she had the mastectomy first and now just started her first chemo treatment last week. So with doing the chemo first, you don't have to do it again right? I don't know why they do it different ways with different doctors and hospitals. You are a strong person and love your attitude to fight this. You are inspiring to people like my wife to keep fighting and doing what you have to do. I hate cancer, but it's good to see others experiences to show people like my wife are not alone in this. thank you
Jrod780 what a great comment to receive! You will find a video on here that my husband did too talking about what it’s like for the partner! I am so glad it can be of some assistance to you both! I promise it does feel hard now but it will get better!!
