This is just a little update, letting you know what I’m up to now! A year hasn’t even passed since my diagnosis but I am finally starting to feel normal again! Find me on Instagram: @deedohertyinsta
Hello Hanna Are you in Japan I live here in Japan and I am just done with my surgery, chemo and radiation therapy. I would love to talk to you about your experience during your journey here in Japan, if you are ok with this
Dee...You look AMAZING ! Thanks for keeping us all inspired by the way you are! Congrats on the new job! Love and God's continued blessings to you and your family!
I saw one of your videos when you were in the midst of your cancer. I can't express how happy I am for your amazing recovery and good news. Your hair looks so lovely by the way..
Dee , thank you for posting these videos .. they helped me get through my cancer and chemo journey.. your an amazing and strong inspiration.. Thank you thank you thank you
Your videos have been such a comfort to me right now. I rewatch all your cancer videos almost every night and when I feel weak, like I can’t do this, you inspire me. I am trying to do the same on my own channel to spread awareness to at least my friends and family and that’s all thanks to you showing me I COULD do it. Thank you Dee. Thank you for doing this...thank you for showing me I can make it through the next 6-8 months. Thank you for your strength even when I’m sure you felt weak. You are a blessing to me and I will always remember the comfort you brought me during what I imagine will be some of the hardest days of my life ❤️ also, I love your instagram updates, seeing you living your best life post cancer diagnosis. Your posts about the spice girls made me think of the good times I’ll have on the other side of this!
So true. Cancer transforms you to a whole new existence. Going through the journey myself and living in the moment like never before💕 good luck with everything.
Even though my long term unemployment and lack of opportunity is increasingly depressing me in every way and I usually get jealous and angry of anyone who has work you inspire me because you're so brave and determined! God bless and happy new year Xx
Dee I'm so glad I found your channel. We had a family friend diagnosed in with Breast Cancer in September 2008, 9 months later, she was gone. Me, My siblings and all her nieces and nephews that I became friends with looked up to her like a mother. When she was diagnosed, it was a week after my 10th birthday. Too young to know what cancer was, or what it would do to someone. I was always told she was "poorly" and that "she'd be better soon" We then got a phone call to say she was dying. It took me Two Years to accept the fact that she's gone, and to be honest, nearly 10 years down the road, I still don't want to accept it. Your channel has helped me learn about breast cancer, what it does to someone, how it's treated, how it affects daily life, work, relationships, etc. I'm so so happy you're doing so much better. You're able to get back into work again, and pretty soon life will be back to normal. Your new hair style looks great! It reminded me of how my Grandmothers would've looked in the late 1940's. If you don't mind me asking, where in Ireland are you from? I have family all over that country Dublin, Limerick, Ennis. I stayed in Castlemaine County Kerry last year for a summer holiday and loved it. The rental house was huge, the area, and the residents were all very caring, and when they found out we were tourists, they were so keen to show us around the place, despite the many tourist help desks. Recently, I was admitting into hospital with severe feelings of pain and pressure in my head, i was MISdiagnosed with a Ventricular Brain Dilation (I'm still unsure what that means), I had a CT scan which showed the dilation, but went back after pain was getting worse, and went through an MRI Scan which showed there was nothing. I never got told what was wrong, but this was all a couple weeks ago and I'm now okay. I had most of the symptoms of a brain issue, but i didn't have anything to worry about, it was just scary not feeling right and nobody being able to identify what it is. Sorry this was so long, but over all, thank you for what you do. Wishing you a quick recovery, and a wonderful Christmas & New Years to you and the family.
James Carson thank you so much! Kerry is lovely... Irish people in general are very friendly! I live in Wicklow myself! So sorry that you had such a confusing time for so many years. I always found the same, cancer was a taboo topic. I will always be open about it and speak about though! Glad to have helped! Hope you stay well in terms of the head issues! Happy Christmas!
I am on chemo 3...on a similar path as you had so all of your videos are super helpful. It is so great to see you getting back to ‘normal’ although normal doesn’t really exist anymore once u have been through this. Can you do a video on diet and what you ate, comfort foods, energy foods.
I get the biggest smile on my face to see you!! You look so great, you have been through so much and you've been so strong, look at you!!! Your amazing!! Merry Christmas girl!!!!!
how wonderful to see you looking so well & so happy!! you are an amazing young lady - have a fab christmas with your family & all the best in your new job!!
Well done Dee I am so delighted to see you looking so well and it's brilliant that you are back working . You deserve all the happiness in the world and the happiest of Christmases . You are amazing and inspirational to everyone. Remember to take care and look after yourself and thank you for keeping us all in the loop.
Hey love!!! So happy to see you blooming and enjoying life. You deserve it 💜 I have been currently going through a bunch things and no doctor can figure it out. I hate the appointments to not know anything. Subbie here praying for your beautiful soul. Xox
So glad to see that you’re now better. I’m currently going through the beginning tests and go in for my biopsy next week for possible bone cancer. I have watched every one of your cancer journey vlogs and you truly are an inspiration. Will there be an updated vlog coming? X
You are SO normal looking, happy just to be back to that normal, must be a really happy feeling ? When I say normal looking, I mean, no longer look I'll.you were always beautiful, but to see that light in your eyes, and all the smiling - awww it makes me so happy to see.enjoy every moment , but, would still love hearing from you,on here of course. You are such an inspiration and just a beautiful soul. God bless and keep you safe . 😘
I love your honesty. My husband has cancer and has been going through similar experiences. The tips in some of your previous videos were spot on. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas!!!
This was so awesome to see, I just completed day one of chemo and have 4 days left in this cycle; I’ve watched your videos and I feel like you (and a few others) have really helped me prepare for this chemo step (first step was surgery) I just want to say thank you for being you and being honest during good and bad times throughout chemo. Thank you again Dee!
Love this 😍 I’m so happy you sound & look fantastic! I was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. Early stages so hoping for the best. Your videos and the information keeps me sane.
Christina Maravilla thank you so much darling!! I was very good friends with a girl with lymphoma all throughout my treatment x you need to Instagram it up... find your lymphomies ...!
Congratulations i can't wait to see my mother finish her treatment like you and her hair growing back again, u give us such positive energy I'm showing her your videos and she is strong like you ♡♡ hope you can make video about food and stuff that you eat after your treatment .😘❤
Isn’t RU-vid great for giving us all encouragement and to not feel so alone! I truly wish I had been into RU-vid when I first was diagnosed. Now after fighting for almost twenty years, I have learned so much that I want to share . I pray your journey has been not too rough💗🎀💗
Thank you for this video. I finally finished my chemo last week. So excited to start my "new life". I say new because I am different now. You have helped me so much with your videos and post on Instagram. I just noticed I still have a old pic of me with this profile. I had my hair still 😕. I guess i need to change it
Dee, I just wanted to say thank you! I've watched all of Your Videos and you've totally inspired me to be strong, not to be scared and to fight! I got diagnosed with breast cancer on January of this year while I was 32 weeks pregnant. Was in total shock! Couldn't believe it that this is happening to me and especially I was pregnant. Now my baby boy is 7 weeks old and I am just extremely scared but watching your videos is extremely helpful, it helped me not to be scared, that I can do this, that I got this and if you did it I can do it too! I am going to have my surgery next week Monday April 8th, a lumpectomy and then chemotherapy right after. Thank you so much for your videos. You have such a beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️ take care.
Thank you for sharing your journey it has really helped me get through mine. I'm not back to work yet but I'm going through physical therapy to help. I work in a car factory and I'm worried that I won't be able to do my job. I'm always watching to see if you've posted anything to see how you're doing. I'm so happy for you that your doing well.
Tracy Mechel girl, we do what we can. You know what you can and can’t do. I can’t lift a huge bag of sand. But I can put a child on my knee. We figure it out x have no fear
Thanks Dee, just watched all your videos, I'm away to get 2nd dose on Friday similar regime as yours but had surgery first. I've been feeling quite down but you've given me great hope that all is going to be OK. Have a great Xmas ♥
Margaret Rollo aw Margaret I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling down x it’s a hard time but all will be ok in the end!! ❤️ In the meantime, I’m on Instagram if you need anything!
Hi Dee! You look fantastic girl! I am so glad you have gotten your life back to normal. I am done chemo and start radiotherapy next week. Your hair is looking awesome! My hair is coming back and is a whopping centimeter long lol. Loved the video. Hugs and Merry Christmas!
That is awesome! Congrats with the new position. :) Cannot wait until I can say I am on the other side of treatment, I am facing an additional surgery in 11 days for a port and start my chemo Christmas week. You look beautiful by the way! Your hair is adorable. :)
Lynette Houck ah Christmas week! What a Christmas present!!! Well I hope it goes really well and side effects are minimal! Look after yourself and get plenty of rest!!
I'm so glad you are doing well. I was diagnosed with a rare cervical cancer in January 2019. I can't imagine going back to work after this is over because I'm feeling so bad and sad. It gives me so much hope that one day my life will come back to me. I start treatment this Tuesday and your videos have made me feel better. Thank you so much for this!
Hannah Cwp I didn't have symptoms. They found a fibroid and decided to do a hysterectomy. When they sent everything off for biopsies my cervix came back with cancer. It is a kind that isn't detected with a pap smear so by the grace of God I was saved.
So sorry to hear this, Donna. Wishing you all the very best with treatment. Don’t worry, right now.. getting back to work should be the last thing on your mind. It all happens in stages x
Thanks for doing these video's and I'm glad to see you're doing better. I just had my first round of Chemo 2 weeks ago and going for round 2 next week. I hope I do better with the side affects next time. I had expectations of taking only a few days of from work after each treatment but keeping my job. Realizing now that just isn't going to happen. How depressing.
Congrats nice to see you here back I'm having surgery soon I got 15 radiation I keep my faith in God always now I have a ball on my left breast it's hard but I have my family and friends support wish are here in you tube.
Hi Dee! Congratulations on the new job! I am a preschool teacher too.Its a great career choice. So happy to see you doing so well. You give me so much hope as I continue with my own journey with breast cancer . Best of wishes from overseas for the holidays. Enjoy every moment with your family. Merry Christmas from my family to yours.💕
@@DeeDoherty thank you so much for saying that. It means so much. I made it through my mastectomy and reconstruction. Now it looks like either chemotherapy or hormone therapy. And learning from you Gives me a source of strength. That I can do this. You are an inspiration to so many people all over the world including many Canadians over here who have been really moved by your videos and are learning to face what is to come and get through it including me. Thank you for all you do. Many hugs and best wishes. All the best Dee.💖
HI DEE I WAS THINKING OF YOU, YOU LOOK WONDERFULL AND IM GALD YOUR BACK TO WORK AS PRETTY AS EVER.....MERRY CHIRSTMAS AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2019 DOLL....BIG HUGS....MARY....IN CANADA
Hi darling, can you do a video in being back to 'normal'!! It's like one minute I'm a cancer patient and the next I'm back at work and life is going on around me! How do you stop the worry about every pain or niggle! Watching you got me through my treatment so thank you. Can you help a gal out now??? 😍
Hello Dee, I find you very inspiring!!! What tests did they do to say they can find no active cancer now? I’ve had chemotherapy and radiotherapy last 29/05/20 last week on a phased return to work from home started work. Just wanted to get a time frame really. Xxx. How did you feel when they said they couldn’t find any active cancer did you feel abit less worried if that makes sense. Xx
Tracy Knee well to be honest you are just told you have no active cancer once radiotherapy finishes. We don’t get regular check ups here. Mine have been a bit more regular than others (I get a CT once a year) and then I go for a mammogram on the non cancer side once a year also which is the biggest waste of time. No is the answer x sorry, you don’t feel better. At least I didn’t. The worry goes away slowly. But you never feel magically cured.
Hey love! Just coming across your channel and I was wondering had you ever gotten tested for the BRCA1 Gene Mutation or "Triple-Negtative Breast Cancer"? I ask because there is a particular section in my family where many of the women with the gene mutation has been diagnosed with Triple-Negative Cancer in their breast, ovaries, and/or cervix. It's usually more aggressive than the typical forms of the cancer and it happens at Younger Ages. If you haven't, I urge you to have your doctors test you for the mutation and if you are positive, have them to perform not only a double mastectomy, but a hysterectomy as well for preventative measures because you're very likely to have another bout of cancer or a higher chance of it spreading. Also a 50/50 risk of it passing down to your children. I have a cousin that passed from this type of breast cancer and her daughter dealing with it right now at the tender age of 28, so I hope I can help prevent it in other people! Sending Love and Prayers!!😘😊
I have/had cancer I had surgery then chemo !. I smoked THC weed, now I'm looking for a job? But I know THC will come out on the drug test ? What can I do I'm I screwed? 🤔 Honestly weed help me out alot more then the stupid pills
Dobrý den, jste silná mladá žena, máte děti, důvod pro co bojovat, velice rychle jste se zotavila avšak moc spěcháte do práce :-) Buďte na sebe opatrná. Vím o čem mluvím, mám také rakovinu prsu, bohužel.
Tan Zip thanks. I am careful, perhaps I’m younger than you? Not sure ... I’m quite happy to get back to my life. Treatment is what made me sickest, not cancer. I am not the type to sit around feeling sorry for myself.
