My gf had her 1st diagnosis 21 years ago...she was good for 10 years..then it came back stage 2...then 5 years later stage 3....then stage 4..she has been stage 4 for about 5 years now....she is a warrior..❤
I just finished my treatment and operation for BC stage 3, and just want to tell you I spent a few nights in hospital with a woman who had BC stage 4 for almost 20 years. She has kept it in check with new medications, radiation and immune therapy and at the same time traveled the world. Wishing you the very best and still a long and exciting life! 10-15 years is not rare nowadays, 20 years is even better, and who knows which medications exist by then! Keep the hope ❤❤
@@DeeDoherty Targeted therapies have really come a long way. My type of cancer was HER2+, hers was estrogen+. She was the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, probably in her 70’s. She was telling me all about her travels and how she found so much joy from them and also her garden and nature. She also had an awesome sense of humour - she said: even if you have stage 4 cancer you can let your hair out and enjoy life to the fullest - well you can’t she said - pointing at my bald head. 😂 Will never forget her. As far as I know she’s still going strong. Our hospital stay was this summer.
I was diagnosed with the same breast cancer as you almost exactly in 2019. Your videos were SO helpful and comforting. My cancer came back this year and I am stage 4 now too. Processing this has been a wild ride of terror, acceptance, developing a dark humor that freaks my family out and just plain sadness sometimes. Thanks so much for putting yourself out there candidly. I know you've helped thousands of other women. Long live us!! 🙏
It’s funny the dark humour has already come RIGHT back! We’re allowed! Sending you lots of love ❤️ thank you for your support and I hope we get to keep doing this for a long time xx
Be Holy as God is Holy everyone.Sin shortens life, because of our sins we are separated from God. Everyone have an expiration date and this world have an expiration date.There is nothing in this world worth going to hellfire for, depart from worldliness everyone. It's NOT about religion/denomination, it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ by praying everyday, reading the Bible everyday, believe the gospel, While you are still alive repent of all of your sins and be born again. Rapture is imminent, do not be left behind. Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, get yourselves ready. This WORLD is TEMPORARY and HEAVEN is PERMANENT, Choose wisely everyone.
Omg :( I'm sorry to hear that. You really inspired me with my very early diagnostic of best cancer HER2-positive in 2019. I saw all your videos and helped me to deal with my chemotherapy and radiation treatments. So, did you was under tamoxifen hormonal therapy ? When they found your cancer back ? How do ypu found it? Do you feel sick or in any pain ? I feel very bad for stopping with the tamoxifen two months ago. Because doctors found some polyps in the endometrial walls. I was so scare to develop endometrial cancer after that beside tamoxifen side effects could cause cancer. I don't know at this point if was a big mistake or not. But I feel that its not good to live with all side effects and the quality of lives its very important. So dealing with gaining weight, hair lost. Vaginal pain during sex. Sadness and not happy to live my live with a anti depression pills...to not look al the struggles tha cancer caused me. I feel scare too for not continuing with the tamoxifen treatment . My case it is just exactly the same like your. So I don't know what going to happen but I can not continue with a treatment with not guarantee that cancer will not return. Because the side effects are dangerous too and emotionally its affect my life , my marriage and my family . I just want to stop breaking in more pices year by year under tamoxifen treatment. If back with cancer its is there again waiting for me in the future I want to enjoy the time before that happens. I wish you with the bottom of my heart that you continue living with all your positive vibes and love for your family and all people around ypu..in special all the women you touch their life with your brighter light. 😘 please keep in touch and continue updating your process and health experience. You are a truly inspiration. Take care ❤ I apologized .. my primary Language is Spanish so I tried my best writing you this message.
Whoever has stage 4 breast cancer please please ask your doctor for MRI brain scan from time to time even though you don't have any symptoms from brain...My mum died 2 weeks ago from stage 4 breast cancer which spread to her bones. She was fighting for over 2 years with that stage but suddenly turned out she got leptomeningeal disease without any warning ;( and it took her life in 10 days
Im so sorry to here of this! Fuck Cancer! Your videos lead me to your IG and as i watched your journey you helped me with mines. I felt a sort of sisterhood & you responded to me in my DM's I was diagnosed w/ stage 2 breast cancer & also went thru chemo, radiation & still on hormone treatment it sucks to hear this afraid mines may come back because the doctors said it was a aggressive tumor on the oncotype test. May God give you the strength my warrior sister! Im so sorry to hear this....
You need to know that I too relied on your videos to educate me and give me hope 3 years ago as I fought lung cancer. My heart sank when I read the title of your new video. Please continue posting and know there are lots of people praying for you. - Mike
Hey Dee, so sorry. I was also diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and have had mastectomy with all lymph nodes removed. My cancer also relapsed this year in the liver and now bones. Your videos gave me so much strength girl, thank you so much for sharing your journey that gives us a path ahead. I am in this journey with you. I have a 12 year old and my heart breaks a million times even imagining the worst for him and my hubby. I want to believe, we all brave fighters will be here with our family and loved ones for as long as possible....praying for you and all the brave fighters out there. Lots of love.❤
I’m so sorry your cancer returned. I know they say that once you’ve had cancer you can never really consider yourself cured, but if you make it to the 5 year mark your chances are better. It’s possible you were likely feeling that your chances of not getting it again as each year passed put you more at ease. Then wam, that evil cancer raised its ugly head and is sending you spinning. I love how you described things. You do explain things well. I do hope you will take us on your journey. It will be so helpful to so many people. Wishing you the best of luck.
I was 7 years clear now I'm terminal. 5 years is normally the 'danger window'. This is my third battle with it now. First diagnosed in 2000. Got it again in 2016. This disease is so unpredictable and insidious!! I'm not going to say I know how you're feeling as everyone processes it differently. Subbed.
Unfortunately with breast cancer, the danger window never closes. It becomes significantly smaller after 12 years, especially with grade 3 cancers, but the little men with the hoodies can always be hiding.
Most of all of my family has died from cancer, i have been told no matter how long it stays gone it will always come back, my prayers to you and everyone that suffers from this awful disease
I got two cancers a couple of years ago and have been NED for a little over a year. One was Stage 3 and the other Stage 4. I am just waiting for it to come back, I watch these videos to try and get my head ready for the inevitable. Sorry that you are at this stage now, it is the nightmare that never ends.
I'm so sorry. Your videos helped me immensely when I was diagnosed last year. There's no cancer history in my family and I don't know anyone that ever had cancer. You videos made me feel less alone and I'll be forever grateful. I'm rooting for you!
Oh Dee…. Your story helped me get through my own diagnosis in 2021. We chatted on Instagram about it and I just saw this come across my notifications and I’m floored. You are in my prayers sis. ❤❤❤
I’m absolutely gutted that this is happening to you. I was diagnosed in 2019 and watched every single one of your videos and found them so incredibly helpful. I’m so sorry that you are going through this again. We are all here for you ❤️. You are strong. Sending love and best wishes xx
I have so many emotions going through my head. I am very sorry for your recent diagnosis. People who have never experienced cancer can’t understand the anxiety. I have been diagnosed twice with breast cancer. Both were as stage 1 but every time I go to my oncologist I am on pins and needles. Sister hugs from New Jersey. I will pray for you and support your journey.
Dee, I don’t know you personally, but I want you to know I love you. You helped get me through some of the darkest days of my triple negative journey and your impact will remain with me forever. What a beautiful soul you are and how grateful I am that you unknowingly came into my life❤
I’m so sorry Dee! This doesn’t give me hope! I’m one year out from having a mastectomy in my left breast and lymph nodes removed. Ramble all you want. We will be here for you through it all. I will pray for you every day.
@@jannulikI asked to have both breasts removed here in the UK England, but was told no, just single mastectomy. Stage 3, feel like I'm waiting and worrying with a 4yr old
Hi Dee.. I’m right beside you! I’m 38, diagnosed with the same cancer you have, stage four that’s spread to my bone at 37. I did 16 rounds of chemotherapy, had my right breast removed, and now I’m doing 6 weeks of radiation. ❤
I work at a Breast Cancer treatment center and stumbled upon your video. It gave me more insight about what our patients are feeling and going through. Sending you positive energy and wishing you the best outcomes on your journey. 💓
Dee, I am so sorry to hear it’s come back. I got diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in January of 2020. I went through surgery, chemo, and radiation during the pandemic. Watching your videos made such a difference in my journey. I didn’t feel alone & you gave me so much hope. Thank you for always sharing your honest and very real perspective. Know that so many of us are in your corner & praying for you! 💗💗💗

I was so shocked with the Insta post!! I was crying & told my husband how you helped me through my treatment in 2021 and gave me hope!! I’m really happy your in a good mental state! Your strength is inspiring! Thank you so much! You have a lot of internet friends that care so much about you!!❤ sending you positive vibes & big hugs!!
You are the strongest women I know. You have no idea how much you have helped me over the last five years in my journey. I live in the US, yet feel so connected to your journey. Thank you for being YOU. You have made a difference for me- and we all have a breast cancer and reoccurrence journey.
My heart dropped when I read the title of this video. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. You also helped me through my battle of Stage 3 breast cancer in 2018. I found answers and comfort in your videos. I’m praying for you! God Bless you 🫶🏽
Prayer heals all! The Father healed my metastasized stage 4, triple positive breast cancer!! FAITH CANCELS FEAR! Believe!! Prayers for you sister and I'd NEVER do chemo again!! Blessings 😘💕❤️
@@venusserafico1161 I am happier and healthier than I ever have been in my life! Being filled with the holy Spirit is like having a superpower! There's nothing greater on earth. Thank you so much for asking and may the Most High bless you and yours eternally. ❤️💕
@@venusserafico1161 My email address is on my about page. Feel free to contact me. I passed out three times and we didn't know why that was happening. I went to have my very first mammogram because my cats would step on my right boob when I was laying in bed and it gave me great pain. Turns out my right side was just fine but the left side had stage two invasive, triple positive breast cancer. Very aggressive. I went through 3 months of chemo and they shrunk it down to a little tiny lump and my lumpectomy was put off due to COVID hitting. Evidently that was a elective surgery...😄 The tumor tripled in size and attached to my chest wall in the 3 months I was postponed for surgery. It then became stage 4 metastasized breast cancer. The Cancer center told me they couldn't do anything for me and I needed to find a team at a larger hospital in a larger city and that I still would probably not survive. I completely cleaned up my life. My food, my water, and my mind. Stress is a killer. I now filter my water, I stopped eating meat and I eat only organic fresh fruits and vegetables. I've never been as healthy or happy as I am now. I had a lot of down time where I researched the Bible and I was actually visited by the MOST HIGH God. There's no doubt in my mind. I am not a believer, I am a KNOWER!! Blessings to you sister!
What an excellent analogy of how sneaky cancer cells spread. You are amazing! ❤ Your attitude is so great. I think you’ve got this. Sending prayers and strength your way ❤
Dear Dee, I am so sorry to hear this. All I know is that you are an incredibly strong woman, who is standing out there like a brave warrior fighting everything that comes. Thinking about you and sending lots of love, dear Dee!
I have been doing treatment since June and I remember frantically searching the internet for information and came across your vidoes, it got me through my first chemo and some of the most scary days of my life, devastated to hear your news but you look strong! I am with you! ❤
I watched your videos religiously/daily when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 (in the early days of the pandemic). It helped me so much in preparing for the different steps of chemo and radiation. Seeing you thriving after completing treatment, gave me hope in my darkest days. I am beside myself seeing this video. My heart aches so much. Like you, I am a mom to two young kids and your comment about thinking of your kids first, speaks so much to me. As moms, that is what we worry about most. I will be thinking, praying, and following your posts. Thank you for your honesty and the genuineness in all of your posts. I hope to meet you one day.
I can so relate. Mum of a 4yr old, I'm stage 3bc. My little one starts big school tomorrow and I won't get to pick her up at the end of the day as I'm having a scan. I nearly cancelled it as it breaks my heart. Waiting for a CT Pet scan.
I am so sorry you are going through this. I had breast cancer 22 years ago and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in September 2021. Lost my mom to breast cancer. My heart feels for you. ♥️
Dee im so so sorry to hear this news 😢 like so many people here in the comments you helped me get through my bc stage 3 treatment. thank you for your honesty and for sharing. sending you and your lovely boys huge love ❤
Dee, I'm so sorry. You are so right about "what's the point" feeling after having stage 3 breast cancer. I found your videos when I got diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago. They helped me so much. Last week I went to get checked at the breast clinic because of pain in my ribs on the side of my mastectomy. I wasn't too worried until I saw consultant's face. He gave me an appointment for the nuclear bone scan the next day. I'm waiting for the results now and having panic attacks non stop. No one knows how it feels like until you've been there. I hope you will be able to record your journey this time again and I hope that the journey will be a very very long one. There is so little out there about the metastatic breast cancer. Thank you for doing this and good luck.
I'm so sorry. I'm a 6 year survivor and yes, we do live in daily fear for those 5 years...but know it can come back anytime even after that. I wish you strength to fight this beast again🙏🎗
You have helped so many people get through a dark time in their life while dealing with a Cancer diagnosis, including myself. I am 4 years out and have always felt really positive that I will be fine. There is no other way to feel for me because constantly worrying is not a way to live. I am grateful for the time I have had and hope for many more years to enjoy my family. It has helped me to be a better grandmother for sure because I want my grandkids to have good memories that they have made with me. God is mindful of you and I and I pray that he will help you through this. I am so grateful for you and your outlook and perspective. I will be following and hoping for the best for you and your family.
I will pray for you. The problem with breast cancer is that it is the inly kind of cancer where you are considered only 10 years healed after the cancer. But I know many women who lived with breast cancer for decades. Dont loose hope!
I have had a Stage 4 metastatic cancer diagnosis since Aug 2015. I have done radiation, strong chemo, and now for the past 7 years immune therapy every 3 weeks for the past 7 years. Last treatment day I got the news that the original tumor has started growing again. I don't understand why surgery was pulled off the table once they had discovered the cancer was already every in my bones. Maybe if they had removed the original tumor I wouldn't be seeing it growing again. I have invasive ductal, HER 2 positive cancer which is very aggressive. The treatments do such damage to us that no one understands! My husband is so tired of this journey with me. He admitted yesterday that for the second time he has signed up on an online dating site looking for a healthy, sexual woman. I am devastated! We who battle cancer did not choose this! I have been a good faithful wife for 46 years! Prayers and virtual hugs for your journey!
I am a breast cancer survivor of 26 years. I just read your post to my husband of 40yrs and he was totally blown away by the your husband’s behavior….. so cold and callous to act in such a manner.. makes me sick 🤮
Dee. I'm so terribly sorry. I have no words, truly. But I do want to say thank you for sharing. You were one of the first channels I power watched when I was diagnosed and was hunting for information. It was people like you who led me to share my own story bc of how beneficial it was to me. So again, thank you for sharing - it's amazing for the cancer fam. Sending you so much love and light through this next chapter 🫶
You are a beautiful woman Dee. Know that ALL the love you have for your children will live forever. I hope you have many more years. Regardless, wtite your children letters for sprcial times in theur life...to open when they need their mum. I asked a 19 yr old who lost his dad when he was 8, what he wished his dad would have done. He said "i wish i had letters from him to read (multiple) to help me though tough times...and rv n ketters to read in happy times like his recent H.S. graduation. Ive passed this along to ny husband.
Cancer F’ing sucks! Never give up, and please know your videos were soo helpful and inspiring during my treatments. Love seeing you again, hate the reason you’re back. You can do this!
You helped me so much during (my own cancer journey. Every description you gave for the treatment and what to expect was spot on. You spoke about how they felt and made you feel and I found I had pretty much the same experience. I am so sorry you are having to go through this again. I will be praying for you as you fight this again.
Wow.... So sorry to hear this. After my wife's breast cancer diagnosis your videos were a great help for us in understanding treatments. We have a couple of friends that went stage 4 with similar diagnosis to yours, and they're still doing okay. Thanks for your bravery for posting these videos as they help so many. Wishing you the best!
I'm so sorry you're having to go through this again but I'm thinking this time round you are well able to get through this ,sending hugs and prayers xx
I want to say thank you for posting this. So many are going through what you are going through and your insight in so valuable. The subway analogy was spot on. I’m sorry this has happened to you and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
You really are amazing, thank you so much for sharing. It’s incredible valuable, to those and those close to those experiencing cancer. Congratulations on your mental health, that is incredible!!! An illness so few can manage - you are an inspiration. Sending love, health and strength x
One of your newest videos popped up on my timeline and I was surprised as it had been so long! Then I found this on your channel. Stunned and sorry you have to go through this again; but you are a warrior and will kick ass

Oh honey. I’m so sorry to hear this. 😢 I stumbled across your channel a few days ago, as I am also dealing with a reoccurrence. You will get through this and we will get through it together! Sending prayers for strength and for comfort. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
This made me cry so much. I was diagnosed in early 2019 stage 3 I love your videos they are so real and honest. I was happy to see you living life. I've been in a state of anxiety since cancer treatment ended. I haven't been happy. I've been so scared that when that moment comes and I do decide to be happy and live life it's going to come back and no one else understands the fear except those who have gone through it cancer is torture mentally 😢💔 thank you for continuing to make videos I appreciate your channel so much Dee 🩷
Big hugs Stephanie x I really hope you somehow manage to get there where you can be free of the anxiety! I know it’s so easy to say. But believe me if I can do it (the worlds most anxious person) you can! ❤
I can tell you are a great teacher! You are very good at explaining how cancer spreads and the process. I wish you success in treatment and am going to keep you in my prayers❤
I’m so sorry to hear this. Just want to say that when I was going through my breast cancer journey I watched your videos and they really helped me. Sending you positive thoughts!❤
I’m so sorry for your diagnosis, I was just diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma and I’m completely shocked. Feel amazing…don’t feel sick….just started treatment and preparing for surgery…. I wish you a speedy recovery.
I’m so sorry that you received this awful news! You’re such an inspiration for some many women who are going through this. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.❤
I’m stunned, I’m so here for you. You helped me so much with my cancer journey in 2019. I had triple negative. Stay strong, stay positive, I’ll be watching out for you xxx
Dee so sorry to hear this news. I'm a couple of months behind you on your cancer journey, coming up in Nov. on my 5yr. You have been a great inspiration to me as with so many others.🙏❤️
I'm so sorry to hear this news. I followed you back in 2019, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Your videos have always been so candid and vulnerable and they helped me a lot! It's frightening to know that it can come back at any time and in different parts of the body, when we least expect it! I'm wishing you all the best.
I’m so saddened to hear this news. What an incredible role model you have been to so many people. Your videos helped me to be be strong while I went through my breast cancer treatments in 2020-2021. You and your boys are in my thoughts and prayers.
