I have breast cancer. 

It is hard to believe that it was almost 12-1/2 yrs ago that I got about the exact same message. Mine tuned out to be stage 4 and In all honesty it was the beginning of a new and fuller and more wonderful life than I could have ever imagined. No lie, hated the chemo and radiation therapy was brutal, but my family was around me and my church family (brand new since I had just moved to another state) as well. We laughed we loved and we grew in our faith, we left the petty things behind and made the most of every precious day. I was so blessed during that time. Trust the Lord, He knows why. Psalm 103 was His word to me through that time. Don’t let this thing steal your hope and joy. “Rejoice. Again I say rejoice.“

My sister is a breast cancer survivor plus my daughter-in-law's sister how had her breast removed an rebuilt..you will have my daily..THERE IS VICTORY IN JESUS

I was diagnosed 4 years ago with stage 3 HR +, HER 2-. I am a survivor. You got this! It is a process, but you can get through it. I'll be praying for you. Surround yourself with positive support and work with your doctor to build a care team. I was diagnosed at Mary Ellen Locher Breast center in Chattanooga and treated at Tennessee Oncology at the same location. Everything was so conveniently located and the care team was amazing.

As a cancer survivor, I can say to Trust your Doctors, Stay Positive (though it may sometimes be difficult) and Journal your Journey, so you may reflect on it later. I will be thinking of you and praying all will go well. 🙏🏻💕👍🏻

Julie, I have been missing you! I have checked your channel several times in the past couple weeks to see if I had possibly missed a video. And I was excited to see this video pop up, until I realized what you were telling us. I am so very sorry that you are going through this. Please know that you will be in my prayers.

Praying. As a nurse, I want to say I fully support all patient’s in creating their own treatment plan with research and well reasoned thoughtfulness, just as you are doing. No one should ever feel intimidated, shamed, belittled, or pressured because of the weapons they pick for battle. And, do NOT let anyone tell you your amount of faith will heal or fail to heal you. Often as Christians, our simple encouragements of our faith can make the sick feel like they do not have enough faith because they are still battling. You use your faith to enter the battle and sustain you. It does not flip a magic switch if God thinks you are good enough. How you fight your battle, how you utilize your faith in the battle, and the outcome is between you and your belief system/God - not how “the faithful” judge or preach you through it! Fight like a girl! I pray for your team and for you as you enter the ring!

My MIL is a cancer survivor (breast, liver, kidney, bone, melanoma), she’s has battled cancer since 1996, she will celebrate her 83rd birthday. God is in control 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am praying for you, and I am with you in spirit. As a nurse I know this feels like a scary, lonely place, but you are not alone. I am so glad you are using holistic pathways as well. For the record, I really like Cancer treatment centers of America, they do a good job on integrative medicine. Breast cancer support groups are good also. Please reach out if you need an ear or a cheer leader!

you got this , 10 year breast cancer survivor this Christmas eve . i did the same , i combined modern and holistic to get the best chance at recovery . sending healing vibes .

Just wanted to let you know I am still thinking about you and praying for good news and health in 2023.

I was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer in October 2022 and had my surgery in November. You are in good hands and its going to be ok. All the tests and waiting are the worst part. Once you get it taken care of the fear is less. My 86 year old mom had lobular as well at 80 and she is fine and healthy. Wishing you peace and a great recovery.

I’m proud of you for sharing this. I know you struggled with if and how. You did an amazing job. I am sure you will beat this, and we are here for you! 💚

Lifting you Julie and your husband up in Prayer! Be positive because you are a fighter!

You have my prayers and hugs. As a nurse who leans holistic but has also worked both in patient and out patient oncology you’re very wise to seek all treatment options. Please look into Black Seed Oil to add to your arsenal. Julie, you are well favored and loved. Remember you have our prayers and full support cheering you on for the journey ahead.

I'm so sorry. I will be praying for you. Trust God the great physician.

God is with You 🙏❤️ Amen

I too am a breast cancer survivor, 8 years ago I was diagnosed with triple negative. My mom and her sister also had breast cancer, so mine was a genetic type. I want you to know there is plenty of life after breast cancer. I actually elected to have bilateral mastectomies with reconstruction, I went from a G cup to a C cup and very happy. Right now take your time to make decisions, do what you feel is right in your gut. Sending hugs , love and prayers.

Julie I am so sorry you are going through this. I cried listening to you. I am a 14 yr survivor and this brought back so many memories. I remember crying alot, but after awhile I went into fight mode and kept a positive attitude and held my bald head up high. I am praying for you. you can beat this and you will beat this. Try to stay as positive as you can.

I have been through everything you went through as Emory treated my breast cancer. I was diagnosed early this year and completed my treatment two days ago. Your nurse navigator, Robyn, is a gem. I had the best care at Emory and appreciated everyone at Emory Winship who cared for me and healed me. Stay positive and keep looking forward. You are in good hands.

Nothing prepares you for this kind of news. The way the world blurs when you hear that you have cancer is an unworldly experience that can't really be explained to those who haven't experienced it. It's isolating, lonely, terrifying, and confusing. This kind of diagnosis provides you with an incredible perspective that instantly brings a vividness to what's most important in life. Cancer is a messenger and I KNOW you'll meet this challenge with courage, grace, fire, and all the mess that comes with doing hard things. I have no doubt that you'll come out the other end with so many gifts. Much love!

Dear sweet Julie, I am 7 year Breast Cancer Survivor that had affected my lymph’s. I had, had a Mammogram9 months prior to me finding the lump in my Breast…it made me so frustrated that the mammogram hadn’t caught it! But then I went into warrior mode…& said “Ok! Let’s do this!” I want to advise that Positive ATTITUDE is so important. I’m not saying not to feel the feelings, I’m saying your Faith can help you bear these overwhelming feelings. Know that you are loved and they are many prayers being directed to you and the doctors who are caring for you. If you need to reach out…please do! 🦋

Checking in and sending prayers for strength and healing.

21 year survivor here. I know remember about all the waiting and how terribly hard it is. Blessings on your journey. I remember telling my surgeon I prayed for him. He said I was the first person to say that to him. ( I also told him he was cute.)

In my prayers! My daughter at age 37 had the same type of breast cancer & surgery & treatment was at that Emory location. Hugs & continued prayers in your journey 🙏❤️

Oh, Julie. My heart goes out to you. As a ten year breast cancer survivor, your story is all too familiar to me. Your long walk down the hospital corridor gave me chills as I remembered all the emotions I felt as I made my way toward my own biopsy. Please keep us in the loop as we want to be able to support you in every way we possibly can. Prayers are going out for you and your health care providers to help everyone make the best decisions for your well bring. You are strong and will need that strength to push through this challenging period. It DOES get better as you learn more about your diagnosis and experience the steps you must endure to get you through the treatments you choose and out the other side. I had my final radiation treatment the day before Thanksgiving, ten years ago. Every Thanksgiving since then I have been so happy to celebrate another year of my "after cancer" life. I feel in my heart you will have a good many more years to celebrate as well. You've got this, Julie!!!

What God cannot do does not exist. You are a warrior and will be a survivor . You will look back one day on this video and realize it was just another chapter in life that we sometimes have to go thru. Your a strong woman and you will have all of us to support you to get you thru this tough time. 💖

Julie, my family and I are covering you, your household, every doctor, nurse and hand that will be along your healing journey with prayer now and in the days ahead. I know this was incredibly vulnerable to share but you’ve unleashed a band of prayer warriors and love your way. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh sweet Julie. My dear online friend, remember when you have to go to those certain places without your husband that doors don’t shut God out. He both goes with you and stays there with your husband. We will be praying, supporting, and holding you up in our thoughts and prayers. 👩‍🌾💙🦋🙏

I was diagnosed with colon cancer a few months ago in my 40’s… had surgery to remove a foot of my intestine and currently in chemo ..it’s hard

Hey Julie, a friend of mine linked me to your channel. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma this year. I had two biopsies which were awful. But they were the worst part. I swear my breast looked like it had been in a train wreck! Had surgery on June 30. Finished radiation in the middle of Sept. Will be on hormone blockers for five years. I feel like a lit match most of the time. I finally get thru menopause and then the medication throws me back in it. You either laugh or cry. It looks like you have a lot of support already. If you want to talk I'm here. You'll be in my thoughts!

You’re so brave to come on here and announce this. My heart goes out to you. Sending prayers and well wishes.

I admire brave people like you who are willing to share your stories. Watching you on the dock with your doggie really saddened me, knowing how difficult it is to parse through the information. I will be rooting for you. Looking forward to you ringing the bell 😊

I am a double cancer survivor. Endometrial and ovarian that was eight years ago. I understand what you are feeling. It is so scary and overwhelming at first. You will feel much better when you have a plan and start treatment. Hang on to hope and faith. I will be praying for you. We both belong to a club no wants to join.. but you have lots of sister survivors… you’ve got this! Praying continuously.

I haven’t been watching you very long but you actually came to my mind yesterday and then this video comes up. My mother in law is currently in treatment for her 3rd bout of cancer. I lost my own mother in 2008 after she fought hard for over a decade. The only thing I can tell you is stay busy. Keep living and doing the things you love and want to do. Don’t make BC the star of your show. You’re the star, and I know you’re going to give it hell! You’ve got this and you have all of mine and everyone’s prayers and strength behind you. 🙏🏼♥️

You don’t owe anyone an explanation on what you choose, whether it be treatment related or anything else. This is your journey & we are here to support you, encourage you, & love on you through this journey. Thank you for your vulnerability. I will be praying for you and your family. ❤🙏

I admire your honesty. Please know that you are in my prayers.

There’s no right or wrong. Only what’s right for you. I have jak2PV a cancer of the bone marrow. Very different then breast cancer. I’m here to support and pray for you. Cancer can be a lonely journey as were the one’s who have to decide on what’s right for us. Yet knowing it affects other’s because they love us. Big hugs.

Oh Julie I am so sorry. I just had my 1 year anniversary of my breast cancer surgery. It’s so scary but breast cancer is very treatable. If you need to talk I am available having just been through it. Please feel free to message me. I’m sending love and prayers. Just know there are many, many of us that are with you! ❤❤❤❤❤

Your a strong women, thank you for sharing I admire you, I was more anxious as I am alone. Praying for you🙏🏻

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Prayers and well wishes ❤❤

I’m going to be praying for you! I have been thinking of you.

Prayers of healing and comfort for you.

Hi Just came across your page. Wishing you all the very best. From Western Australia

Will be praying. Also, find the book Beating Cancer With Nutrition.

Have you read anything about fasting? I am sure you're hearing it all from all of us internet experts...but I wanted to ask. It's one of the things I'm seeing over and over in success stories. Anyway. We're with you. I've added you to my prayer list. The amount of breast cancer survivors in these comments is encouraging.❤

You're going to do amazing through your treatment and recovery! I love you to bits and you can always lean on us however you need

Oh Julie I am so sorry you are going thur this. I will be praying very hard for things to turn out ok for you. God Bless.

Prayers for you everyday! I am so sorry!!

I'm so sorry to hear about this trouble. Will be praying for you! Trust in Jesus!

Sorry to hear this. My mom got a breast cancer diagnosis last year. I love to research and have done alot on this subject. I am plant based so it does include that but if you would like links to things I have found. Please let me know. I do follow Krocks In the Kitchen and she was recently diagnosis with cancer and she is using modern meds and plant based diet. So might be someone you could watch or even contact. Glad to see you juicing. Praying for you.

I am so sorry to hear this,my husband has cancer also ,everyone will be telling you all types of things hoping for the best for you I just started my husband on turkey tail mushroom powder look into it if you have time ,love and prayers ,robin

I am sorry you are going through this. I was diagnosed with stage 2b Invasive Lobular Carcinoma in January of 2021. The beginning is the worst, but somehow we get through. I am doing well and have a Mammogram/Ultrasound Friday to see if there is any evidence of disease. I will keep you in my thoughts. ❤🙏🌹It can be overwhelming at times, but you will get through. Hugs

Hello Julie, I totally support you making your own choices. I am 2 years out from my breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. No one can tell a person how they should react or what decisions they should make in their options. I completely understand the emotional roller coaster your experiencing. I was presented with my options and made my choices that made me most comfortable. I had a wonderful team. I am doing well and hope the very best for your outcome.

I am going to follow your journey and only act as your cheerleader, if that is OK.

Praying for you. Keep strong

No one should have to go through this. I believe that everything is going to be alright! Lots of love from Portugal ❤️

Oh Julie, I'm so sorry. Emory is an AMAZING hospital!! You are in one of the best places to be in to have cutting edge technology. The CDC is right down the street. You can park in the valet parking near the children's hospital and walk to the end of the block. Take a card on the parking deck if you park yourself so you will know where to come back to. Since they are an amazing medical school they always have a case study group, if your doctor feels you could benefit from the study it might be worth looking into it. I'm sorry to say I can get to Emory Children's Center 4 different ways from northeast Georgia. Praying for you and your sweet family. 🙏🙏❤️

Praying for you and your healing

Praying for your complete healing 🙏

I am so sorry. Prayers for you 🙏💗

I am and will be praying for you. You have given so much to this community and in such a kind, inspiring way. I pray the Lord gives you strength to go through what you have to get through to come out on the other side🙏🏼🙌❤️

Sending you love I have breast cancer for the second time having chemo again 😢 this time it’s a different type and has spread ….. cancer effects you on so many levels I don’t think people really understand unless they have been through it …… I wish you the best ❤❤❤ keep talking you will have down days try to push past it ….. I hope it goes well your in my thoughts ❤

We love you, Julie! You know your Sauerkraut Girls have got your back ❤

I had invasive ductile carcinoma. I am 3 years NED. I had a double mastectomy, and a second tumor was found in the sentinel node. Chemo would not have benefited me. I did have 30 rounds of radiation and have tips and tricks if you would like. I also developed lymphadema that has migrated from my left arm to my right arm. (I believe it was from using a lymphatic pump). I suggest getting a 3 ring binder with different colored files for each Dr. and lined paper to write down questions and the drs answers. There will be loads of information given. Take someone with you to all appointments because they will catch things you miss. You will beat this. Have your breakdowns, but don't stay in that mindset.

I'm a stage 3 breast cancer survivor for over 18 years. Just stay positive and know there is hope. Prayers to you!

I am praying for you, your family and the medical staff guiding you through this difficult journey. God bless you 🙏🏻 ❤

Thinking of you and wishing you the best

Oh Julie I'm so sorry your going thru this. I was just thinking I had not seen you. Stay strong all will be good in the end. Think of beautiful flowers. you are loved and thinking of you

Prayers!

Ms Julie, I admire your bravery and courage. You have a strong will, family, friends and this community you have created that love you.

You and your family are in my prayers. Stay positive and strong. God bless

Здоровья Вам крепкого! Буду молится за Вас! Вы шикарная,потрясающая и очень сильная женщина.Я уверена что Вы справитесь с этим! Храни Вас Господь!❤🙏

I just found your channel. I am starting chemotherapy today. I also have a very holistic view on health and life style. I felt so alone with what I had to do. But I did a lot of research, reached out to herb consultant (who was trained in the modern medicine field) and I no longer feel alone. I suggest to anyone getting this diagnosis, “Find someone who speaks your language to bring you comfort through this journey.”

Praying 🙏 for you . Amen

Thank you for sharing this painful journey. I love that you are so well informed about testing and diagnosis. The cat video bombing was perfectly timed. Prayers coming your way🙏🏻

Julie!!!!! I am so incredibly sorry that you are facing this battle, but you can win! I am covering you in prayer and speaking peace over you. You are the only one that can make the best decision for your treatment. Whatever you do, I will be here cheering you on. I’m giving you hugs and love from southern Illinois. I will do anything I can to help. Many prayers 🙏

I'm sorry you have to go through this. Praying for peace

Julie, thank you for sharing your story! We’re praying for your complete body healing!! St. Agatha please intercede for Julie!

I'm sorry to hear that you have cancer! Take care of yourself. Many women beat breast cancer and miracles happen everyday! God bless you.

My prayers are with you. I know the mental strain this occupies your mind continually. My daughter was diagnosed around the same time as you. She has been a real trooper. I can't say the same. She had a lumpectomy and is today she is on her 5th radiation treatment. If you would like to talk to her PM me. She would be more than willing to talk with you. I as a nurse worked with an alternative Dr. For 13 years. I understand your thoughts on the combination of treatment you are choosing to consider. Stay strong and know you are in God's hands. You are not alone.🙏❤🌻

I am so very sorry to hear your news! That's never ever something that we want to hear!! You are in my prayers.

Thinking of you Julie

So many prayers for your healing and your family.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Prayers 🙏🏼

Dear Julie sending you blessings and prayers from Ireland ☘️ 🙏

Julie I am so sorry to hear this. You are in my prayers. God is in control.

Sending prayers and strength.

Sweetie prayers for you thru this horrible news. I’m going thru this with my husband. Petscan is scheduled today. Will be praying for you.

It broke my heart to watch this video. I too was diagnosed with breast cancer, the type I had was invasive ductal carcinoma. I had forgotten how intense the biopsies were until I heard you tell your story. I commend you for taking control of you forms of care regarding this diagnosis. Br prepared for western medical drs to give some push back and not be happy about your choices for holistic care during your traditional care, I had some very rough discussions with my drs over this. The one thing, the most helpful holistic thing that I did was to grow organic broccoli sprouts and consume lots of them during my treatment, I am quite sure that this helped me immensely to reduce the size of the tumors and help to rid of it. Of course the Drs. poo pooed me about it. But I know that it made a big difference for me. Just sharing that with you. Please anyone that reads this I am not telling her what to do, only what really did help me with my situation.. I will hold you in my heart and prayers. Sending you much, love, light and healing energy.♥ You can do this. I am now 3 yrs with no evidence of disease. I was grade 3 when diagnosed, I never got the stage # until I was almost done with treatment many months later. I was stage 3.

Julie - I know it feels like a gut punch -- we'll be praying for you for the journey that you're on!!

Sending good thoughts and ❤️.

Praying for you! Remember you are the CEO of your body and treatment plan, no one else! Bless you and sending well wishes your way! God bless!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Like so many I have been checking back to see what you've been up to and was saddened to hear of your diagnosis. Thank you so very much for sharing your story...it has been so powerful t hear.

I’ve walked in your shoes and my biggest advice is to have a solid support group, try to stay positive, attitude is so important but know that God is in control

I subscribed to your channel a few days ago because I was looking for azure haul videos and your videos have been so helpful. I’m so sorry you’re having to endure this but I will be sure to watch as much as I can that I haven’t yet and let every ad run through. Psalms is a wonderful place to rest through these times. I did a lot of bible copywork when I couldn’t or didn’t have that words to pray through some of my past circumstances in other seasons. Prayers go out to you!! 🤍🤍🤍

Oh, sweetie, I’m so sorry. I will be praying for you.

Lots of prayers for strength and healing for you. Each of us have to walk our own walk in our lives. So I will also pray for your peace dear Julie.

God bless my friend!! Many prayers!! All cancer journeys are different. You have to do you! Hugs n prayers!! 🤗 🙏

Julie, have been missing you like so many othere. Praying for you, stay strong.

You've been on my mind. The title of the video shook me. Will be praying for God to lead you in making the best decision for YOU.
