I just stumbled across this video, I have HER2 Positive Stage 2 and headed into my 4th chemotherapy treatment on May 17th. My third treatment side effects have been different too. The nausea is worst and I get winded more easily. It’s just been different . Thank you for sharing. Adding you to my prayer list. We will get through and survive this.
You are a brave woman. I am sorry you have to go through this. God walks with you every moment of every day. Pour your heart out to him. He knows your heart. Prayers that your side effects are few this week. 🙏🙏💕
As a survivor & one that carry’s the BRCA 2+ gene, I too just went through the active motions. One foot in front of the other. I struggle with cptsd to begin with so it’s not unlike me to disassociate. After I received a clean bill of health, cancer free I was happy for a minute. Literally one … 5yrs after still cancer free, 10 it’s still foggy & waiting for the other shoe to drop. Your mind is protecting you is all. I’d look into a trauma therapist. I didn’t have one at the time however about 3yrs later I fell apart. I looked fine but inside didn’t know who I was. I mourned the person I was before b cancer. I hope that makes sense. You’re not alone. It’s not all pink ribbons and rainbows. Don’t expect to feel or should feel your way through. Just acknowledge every feeling will be unique to you.
@@rebeccablackburnhines I get it What you’re trying to figure out don’t waste your time. Looking back 15yrs it’s all a blur. Honestly I think some of us walk through it with blind faith. I believe for some of us it’s too traumatic to think about. Sounds like your anxiety is focusing on figuring it out. Give that up to God for now. This too shall pass I’m still dumbfounded and lost looking back there. Frozen in fear still.
I think this video came up on my feed because I’ve been researching my husband’s cancer. What really struck me was your description of how a breast MRI is done. I think that position is a very vulnerable one and I can’t imagine how traumatising it might be for some women. It’s disturbing for me to even think about. Sounds silly, I’m sure, but one never knows what triggers someone’s trauma. 💐You are in my prayers. 💐
This is why I take Valium for every mri, I'm claustrophobic, for starters! The breast mri was breeze with the meds. One month away from being 2 years post treatment! Stage 2, Currently no disease evident, I wish you all well!🧡
Going through the same treatment. Each one got progressively worse. #4 hit me so hard I had 19 days of side effects. My oncologist lowered the dose on the chemo drugs for #5. I am on day 12 and so far #5 has been worse than #4. I go in twice a week for fluids because I can’t eat or drink - every thing tastes like feces. I’ve lost 35 lbs. One more round to go on May 7. I was fortunate not to get mouth sores. I do have nosebleeds though.
Listening to you I’m so glad I decided not to do double mastectomy, chemo and radiation and endocrine blockers. I opted for ivermectin, juicing greens, apricot kernels, exercise, supplements, high dose vitamin C and D, no sugar. Looking better than I’ve looked in 30 years, hair is growing like crazy, lost 40 lbs since April 17 ( today is August 27). So glad I went this route, I could never want to poison my way to health, I don’t think you can. I figured out early they make this so fearful that you will make irrational decisions based on fear. I got rid of the fear like the Bible says. Wish you had picked this path, it is successful.
You do such a great job describing how you feel. Give yourself some grace….you are going to get through this. I am amazed at your strength. I will continue to pray for you and all of your family. I hope next week is ok.
I am a survivor of her2 12 years I have noticed in the USA you have Chemo etc 1st the surgery,I am in Australia and I had my Mastectomy then started Chemo 6/weeks later I was on hormone blockers for 5 years. With the chemotherapy I did find it worse as the treatment’s progressed . You will get through this ❤❤❤
Hello Rebecca, I just found your I guess it's called a podcast and very grateful for it. I'm so very sorry that you are going thru this and I will be praying for you. I have recently had a abnormal mamm. I have since had a diagnostic mamm and ultrasound. I have since had a biopsy. I'm kinda confused at this point. Everything before biopsy said abnormal and that I had distortion and calcification and radial scar. The biopsy said everything was benign. However they say I have to see surgeon. WHY? If everything is benign why the surgeon. I'm not asking you for answers basically just venting. You had mentioned that you felt like something was not right. Sorry can't remember exactly the wording but im feeling something isn't right. I havent been diagnosed yet but I feel like it's not going to be good. I dont see surgeon until June 13. Seems like along way out. Sorry for going on but just needed to talk to someone who is going thru this. As I said I will diffinately be praying for you and hopefully these treatments won't be horribly bad.
