Sharing my breast cancer treatment experiences, and life as a survivor, to support others through their fight. When I was diagnosed with cancer at 33 there was a lack of information pertaining to women in their 30's going through cancer treatment. I wanted to hear the perspective of other young women when making some of the challenging decisions, as well as to learn what to expect from treatments. THIS is what I created this channel for.
It is my absolute honor to be here to share my experience with the goal of helping others navigate their fight with added support from someone who has been through it.

Nobody should have a mastectomy, radiation, hormone therapy or chemo. There are so many treatments out there that work with no pain and no toxic side effects that ruin your life several years out. Do research is the most important thing women can do. The cancer industry want you in surgery hopefully before you have time to do any research that’s why they get you in so quickly have you ever heard of having something wrong and being able to get surgery within a week or two? It doesn’t happen in the real world again. They only do this so you have no time to do research and know that all of this is unnecessary.
@@ChelseyTarnow yes I have many. If you would like to talk on the phone personally there are so many treatments that are successful seriously I couldn’t even list them all.
I was diagnosed on April 11 of 2024 with ductal and lobular invasive carcinoma of both breasts and because I changed doctors. It gave me time to do research which was God‘s escape. Thank heavens allowed me the time to do much needed research to find out what cancer was how I got it, etc., I spent months watching RU-vid videos of doctors listening to podcasts and and believe me I’ve spent probably 1000 hours if not more and it is amazing how much fear is hyped up by the cancer establishment and they scare women out of their minds so that they’re willing to do anything and everything . Cancer nothing more than a broken immune system Easily repaired because God gave you this ability to heal yourself. In fact, God even speaks to chemotherapy in first Corinthians 11 through 15 where he says your hair is your glory. What does chemo do to your hair? Is that glorifying to God anyway you cannot be fearful because that’s where they want you to be if you are fearful, they can talk you into massive amount of treatment, like 50 or 60 rounds of radiation chemotherapy for years if you are compliant, I cannot urge you to go to RU-vid and once you get on an algorithm of doctors talking about cancer and the use ivermectin and fasting and keto diet to cure cancer you will get hundreds of videos a day about itfrom doctors and pharmacist and medical experts that I would urge all women not to do surgery chemo, radiation and therapy if you go on RU-vid and watch women who are on estrogen blockers almost every woman gets off of them unless they’re just foolish because it is so harmful they get osteoporosis and the joint pain they say they just wanna die so you have to do research because only functional doctors who don’t accept insurance or Medicare can tell you all of this, but you’re oncologist and your cancer. Doctors are not by law allowed to say a word of any of this they will lose their licenses if they tell you about alternative treatments, the cancer industry is a hugefor profit racket. And it’s really sad that you’re oncologist is paid to prescribe your chemotherapy. If you don’t believe me look it up it’s been a source of discussion and medical journals and Forbes magazine, newspapers, magazine, article, etc., with headlines like is it a fair shake to patience to take chemo drugs when they’re oncologist is being paid for it, it’s quite unbelievable
Tks so much for sharing! I’m trying to make a decision between the 2 options for myself and indeed it’s a hard one to make. I have obtained second opinions from other drs to gather as many facts as possible. Brave women such as yourself I thank for posting your experience!
aw, my little dog, age 13 had a small pea sized lump in her armpit a few years ago, I brought her to the vet a few days after finding it and they removed it a week later by surgery. It was cribiform carcinoma. My dog did pass away a year and a half later (we couldn't do radiation and chemo as we did not have the $ for those treatments). Now I have pains in my right breast, had a mammo and an ultrasound a few days ago. Waiting for the results. I don't feel a lump like the one my dog had, I don't feel a lump at all. However you don't have to have a lump to have cancer. I am post menopausal. Waiting is so difficult. I pray for all of us. I'm sorry for what you are going through. 🙏🏻
I have breast cancer and have started taking Sour Sop, and Barlow Herbals tinctures for cancer, as well as Rife frequencies. Hopefully, everything I am doing will help get rid of it. Fenbendazole is supposed to help as well. Doing everything I can to eliminate it before surgery!
It's been a week and 2 days since I had a double mastectomy. I found sleeping on my sofa that reclined was the best thing for comfort. Once the drains and pumps came out yesterday you feel a new person. Having a long zipper top with inside pockets is wonderful for showering called yesito mastectomy drainage. If you can try to have your reconstruction done at the same time of your breast cancer surgery. It cuts down on surgeries. I feel great, I'll be back to my high-intensity class within 8 weeks. Go in with a positive attitude , and your faith whatever that might be for you. You got this.... Good video.....
I had a third PET scan on Monday. My process was similar, though waited 45 minutes after the tracing injection, and scan took about 25 minutes. They used a mold to keep my arms fixed over my head and my feet still. I removed my glasses so I didn’t notice a plate coming near my face. They didn’t have a separate rib scan. I got my results online the following day. I had my oncologist appointment today so he uses the PET scan along with my cancer marker reading as well as my input on my wellbeing. For now, I’ll stay with my treatment plan and do another scan in 3 months with monthly blood tests. Two hints- take the blanket and use the toilet right before the scan. You’ve got to stay perfectly still, similar to radiation. All the best
tamox made my mom lose her mind, and it hurt her teeth, bones, etc. this was back when it was newer,, in the 1980’s. she took the full course but got cancer again anyway. fast forward to 2017, when i got the same type of cancer. i got the bottle of tamox, was not sure i wanted to take it. then the dr said “but it helps 45% of women” then i thought, why just 45%? so i dug really deep, even read the papers that come with the pills, it generally said that it may not even help at all. i did a full video of it and even showed the info (take a look at that on my channel if you want, it was about a year ago, so scroll down). anyway, when i did the actual math of %, it was really only .015% were possibly helped. not even 45%. it was part of a group’s group, if that makes sense. i also saw two ladies, in my cancer support group, go in it about the same time and later, they lost their minds at the meetings, got angry, cried, and a lady in her 70’s started her period again! is that crazy or what? so, enough red flags for me, i still keep the bottle and will keep it for the rest of my life, but i never took even one. those that did take it for years, did it REALLY help them or was the cancer removed and just never would have come back anyway? i wanted to be in a cancer study but later was NOT allowed to stay in it since i didnt follow “protocol”. its a cancer study so they need to study those that done do the radiation or tamox too. but it doesnt make them money to NOT give meds.. it makes sense now. it all started when they sent my tumor to get a very detailed dna type of test and my recurrence score was so low, saying it may never recur. so, i figured, it was taken out, clear margin and nothing in the nodes they took (i wish i knew what i know now, i would not allow the nodes taken, there are other ways to test them).. so why put myself through rads and tamox?
Your video was so helpful. My first full body bone scan tomorrow. Thank you for taking time and caring. I’ll sleep a lot better tonight because of your helpful info.😊
Good on you for taking not of your body feeling off. I'd definitely recommend seeing a doctor to express your concerns. Sending positive vibes your way🙏🌷💫
Mine is falling out today two weeks after my first chemo. My husband is so supportive he said it’s ok if you cry, it’s very normal. He loves me no matter what. My stylist friend cut my long locks into a darling shag cut that looked so cute. My husband will buz my hair with a Wahl and a #2 as I heard it feels better and then use a sticky clothes roller.
For me no matter how much it was known that hair loss was coming, the moment still caught me off guard. Makes my heart do happy to hear your husband is so supportive. I wish you continued strength and resilience through the rest of your chemo💕💫💪
I am about three weeks away from DMX surgery, and will be starting these now in preparation. They are just what I have been looking for. In fact, all of your content around this topic has been incredibly helpful. Thank you so much. ❤ And your dog is just the sweetest, goodest girl. 🥰 I hope you are continuing to thrive, and I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much for posting this Chelsey! I hope you are well and cancer free. I was just diagnosed and will need surgery. I found your video so helpful. Thank you so very much! All the best! xoxo
I drank lots of NONI JUICE before the surgery and after the surgery and it help a lot. I had no pain at all and the drain was removed in 5 days. NONI juice is a natural pain killer and helps you recuperate a lot faster. 🥰
Yes …i have 2 small tattoos on my left breast. They used a small TB syringe to inject the dye ,so very small. If that’s what it takes to home in that radiation on my cancer, than so be it! I am stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma,negative lymph nodes, oncotype 14. Er+ Her2-. Negative mammograms so far. I am blessed by my dear Lord. And my doctors, nurses,and radiologists! Please dear ladies (and men), try to keep it all in perspective…blessings to all🌺
my lovely wife has had BC and wants to get off the horrid Zolodex and associated pills. Shes only 45 and hates this force menopause type feeling with hot flashes galore. I give here the ZOlodew shot monthly and would be interested if there are any specialist out there that are proponents of getting off the Zolodex etc
I just finished 10 years of Tamoxifen. I am thankful in its role to keep me cancer free after 10 years. I had no side effects, so truly each person is different. I trust my oncologist to follow a treatment plan to keep me cancer free. Best to you.
Im wearing stickers rn for radiotherapy. I was offered tattoos or stickers. The stickers have lasted 4 weeks no issues. They are on my rib cage. No need for tattoos. I had them put on the week before my treatment started. Im half way through 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Its fine. My skin turned pink this week. Because of my masectomy - no reconstruction which was 11 weeks before it's difficult for me to differentiate the weird nerve sensations and pain from radiotherapy. All i can say is you will be ok. Take care of yourself. With love to my fellow bc survivors, dxx
Caution on MRI with contrast gadolinium. I am a MRI w /Contrast's victim in 2020 : Next day of an abdomen MRI with contrast Gadolinium injection : muscle, joints, nerves pain, feet and hands and fingers tingling electric, fogging memory. The cost of an MRI is about $4,000- $6,000, They order me to a CT scan, then an MRI and an MRI with contrast together. Then more problem to your health, they send you to others specialists to get more treatment , then no cure available.The pain last for ever to today almost 4 years. I have notified FDA, but no help. They did not warn me before the injection, but oblige me to sign on the brochure when I came to pickup the DVD of MRI result. Please FDA help protect our human citizen. The Physician have to warn, explain to patient before ordering MRI with contrast. In Europe they forbid the MRI contrast gadolinium. Date 8/4/2003' ( see Gadolinium Toxicity, Gadolinium Deposition Disease).
Hello, I'm still debating whether to get a port or not. May I ask which chemo regimen you received with exact names of the drug(s)? For example, i have IDC and triple positive so I'll be doing TCHP. Thank you. Sending positive vibes!
I just had my expanders to implants surgery in June, and very thankful to be able to say I'm pretty much done! Cancer free, but will continue to be monitored for about five years. The implants do feel better than the expanders, trust the process ladies, the road may be long but the results are worth it.
Praying for you and all who have breast cancer. My worst fear because my mom had it. But thank God my sisters and I don’t have the Braca gene. I will pray for you.
I so appreciate your videos . After watching all this side effects I’m for sure not going to go through this . There has to be a natural medication that can be used . I have allways said all pharma drugs are toxic and they’l will hurt you . This is just what I truly think . I’m do for a double mastectomy , not sure at this point how I’ll handle all this . I’m still trying to process it . Not easy at all 😢 I have DCIS just caught at stage 0. Doc said no chemo or radiation needed but she said a hormone yes .
I'm wishing you a speedy recovery. I went thru chemo, surgery,and radiation. My r breast had a tennis ball tumor and the chemo shrank it was down. I was blessed. I still have my breast. My cancer was hormonal and in my ducts. I started on anastrozole in Feb 24. I felt horrible, didn't want to do anything, bone pain.. no energy. Dr said take a break then go on every other day for a month.. I started every day July 1.. and same results. My oncologist on Monday said to wait another 2 weeks and we are going to wean you on letrizole.😞..I really don't want to do this I just turned 68. And my quality of life is horrible. When I'm of it I feel better after about 2 weeks. I'm exasperated about this. I trust in the Lord, He git me thru cancer and healed me with the help of my cancer team who were awesome. If you know of any holistic or natural way to help with estrogen, can you let me know? God bless, Vicki 🙏
@@goodgoogallymoogally1688 Hi sweet Vicky ! I had my mastectomy on July 29 . I’m now going through the process of the drains uff so uncomfortable. I had DCIS in the duct , but mine was stage zero thank s to the Lord . The doctor told me also that pathology report also stated it didn’t compromise and lump nodes. Everything came out negative. My fear was having to drink those pills after surgery, I’m completely have no period I’m 61 , therefore the doctor said I don’t need to take any pills . But if I would have to I would turn completely into the natural. There’s a doctor that his name is DR. Sabi he has to do much knowledge about healing herbs that for sure he can help you . Search for Dr. sebi in google and you-tube dear for sure you can take the natural approach to this , I hope this helps you in any way .God heals you and helps you be of strong courage and guides you .
Omg😢 is there a natural approach. Thank you so much for sharing with us . I so truly appreciate it . I’m having my double mastectomy on July 29 , 2024 . And from all these side effects I’m so scared it will robe my real me 😢. 😂
I started using tamoxifen 1 week now and I meditate every morning I am ok until now and do hope it stays like this so sorry you feel so depressed keep your chin up keep on praying
I did not know that they would tattoo me for radiation. Thank you for telling me. I too would be very upset it they sprung that on me. I have no current tattoos.
Thank you for posting your story. After 8 months of anastrozole and 7 months of tamoxifen I just recently decided to stop hormonal therapy. The multitude of side effects were simply not worth it to me and the past 15 months were hell in terms of my well-being. There is NO WAY I want to live like that for the next 3.5-4 years while my hormonal therapy continues. Fortunately after lengthy discussion with my oncologist, I got no pushback from him. Feeling good so far!
I am 27 and have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer in the US. If you ever have a concern please advocate for yourself! I was almost denied a mammogram at first and I had to fight for it. Take care of yourselves and don’t be afraid to get screened ❤.
Thank you for this video and for sharing your emotion and gratitude. I stopped Anastrozole due to debilitating side effects and will soon be starting Letrozole (Tamoxifen apparently isn’t effective for lobular cancer, so that is not an option for me, unfortunately), so I will start my own gratitude list 🙏 and try to stay strong and motivated.
Sending positive vibes your way. I found the mental battle leading up to the surgery was so hard... once it was over I felt a sense of relief and needed to focus on healing physically. I hope you feel that sense of relief as well🌷🌷
