I was Stage II. 3 out of 11 nodes had cancer. I chose mastectomy with chemo. My hormone testing was contaminated. I regret nothing. Cancer was 33 years ago.

You have a calming voice, thank you for your'e advice, my daughter has just been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, our family are all in shock, no cancers in our family just heart disease. I feel a little better after listening to the treatment options you have explained. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your explanation! I was diagnosed with triple negative stage 2 breast cancer- invasive ductal carcinoma. I did 4 sessions of chemo and right before starting the 12 weekly sessions, I had a stroke. I was then diagnosed with pneumonia, sepsis, AFIB, and atrial septal defect (hole in my heart). A few months after my discharge from rehab, I had my lumpectomy and heart closure surgery. I restarted chemo where I left off in January. My white blood keeps lowering then after a 2 week break it goes up. I had another break. I'm getting the booster, starting it out tomorrow.

Also did genetic testing and I had no known cancer genes. The doctor said I just had bad luck. Of course, I do. But I'm still here!

It's good to have these videos since in the US getting a doctor to spend more than two minutes with us is very difficult. "Healthcare" here is corporatized, and profits lie in quantity, not quality.

Love this video and your voice eases my anxious mind! UGH, cancer isn't easy to spell, say, or admit you have. So much stigma around this diagnosis

One of my friend has breast cancer, stage 2, but no chemotherapy is going on, she is only on tablets, external blood and weekly or monthly checkup

Thank you, I appreciate this, your voice has a calming effect. I found this easier to understand.

I have stage 2 grade 3 invasive dual carcinoma. My lymph node are not infected, and the cancer hasn’t spread to any other parts of my body and my oncologist still wants to give me chemotherapy.

[joyharrison]

Thank you. It would have been helpful to have had this info before surgery. I have felt on left foot playing catchup with information regarding possible complications and treatment of scaring. Good clear explanations.

What does the a or b mean after stage 2?

My eye lashes fell completely out after chemo therapy. 2 months after they grew very intensely. Suddenly now they‘ve fallen out again. Don‘t understand why? Only my eye lashes.
I‘m still on Herceptin.

It was the drain tube that causes the pain after surgery. A pilow under your arms and a small lift of your upper body would help you relax during the sleep 😊

[aremedyproject]

Node removal sucks big time. It’s not just some range of motion restriction. Downplaying the effect only causes more distress after surgery. Truth is better. From what I’ve seen, very few people don’t get mouth sores, in my extensive cancer circle anyways. Please don’t downplay side effects. Your gentle speech is nice. Cheers.

[karenalexander]

Yup, that's the stages of treatment my oncologist told me. I did a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. My first chemo cycle went well. I only had loss of hair. Second cycle June 7th, hoping that goes well like the first cycle.

[languageandmana]

Amazing! I wish you gave other than breast cancer medical information as well
