Dorey's Story: My Wife's Recent Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

[JulieR]

I had surgery 5 weeks ago to remove a breast mass. I’m one of the lucky ones who heard the words “it’s benign.” I will forever be mindful of those who do have cancer, and I pray for your healing.

Dorey and Dr. Cedric Rutland, Best Wishes to both of you and your family. You deserve the very best in life. Take Care of yourselves, you seem like wonderful people.

Wow, this really makes me realize how poorly and slowly and nonchalantly my case was you for sharing.

Going through it right now. My wife is a trooper! Marching right through it. Your eyes look like my wife’s eyes. I see the hurt!

And once again 🇺🇸 proves that the health of its citizens is based on what kind of health insurance they can afford. America is the ONLY country in the developed world that doesn’t have some form of universal access to health care. She says, at least twice that she has great insurance. How sad for the millions of other other American women who don’t

This gave me chills. I was diagnosed at the age of 35, in October of 2018. I am free of stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma as of May 2020…yet I still struggle to connect with my husband emotionally. We’ve never talked about it. He never went with me to appointments or treatments and I felt very abandoned by that.

We’ve been married for 15 1/2 years and have 4 children. A 15 year old son, 12 year old daughter and 9 year old boy/girl twins.

You are so blessed to have such a loving supportive partner!!! I know the emotions can be extremely intense but HANG IN THERE!!! You look and ARE beautiful!!! YOU ROCK

Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️ I’m “only” 39, and I keep telling myself it’s nothing, but you’ve inspired me to get the discoloration on my breast checked out. I will keep you, your family, and your continued health in my thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your story. My biopsy just came back and I am newly diagnosed. Just starting my journey and trying to figure out what's next.

I'm 37 and just been diagnosed with Stage 2A Ductal Cell Carcinoma, grade 3. I totally went down the rabbit hole of "what if's". I'm currently recovering from having a mastectomy and reconstruction. And, I'm waiting to find out what treatment works best for me.

I’m 31 and 33 weeks pregnant. Mentioned to my husband I had a weird lump under my armpit. It started in one then a month or two later there was one in the other armpit. They’ve been there since September. I thought it was something caused by pregnancy. Fast forward to today, finally found the time to get into the ultrasound. I prepare myself for everything but today scared me… the reaction from the radiologist really deeply scared me. She saw larger than normal nodes. Bigger that an active infection or illness going on. I’m scared, waiting for a biopsy and trying to enjoy my growing baby. At this point I wish I would have pushed more once I felt those lumps😢 I wish I had the help to get in quicker. Now I feel like this is a waiting game I shouldn’t have let go on this long. Praying all will go well, praying it’s not cancer. Praying is what is going to help keep me strong and sane. Thank you for sharing. I’m not ready to share this info with the rest of my family because I don’t know what the future holds.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I too was exceptionally healthy all of my life and out-of-nowhere was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. I took the steps you took and am elated to say: ALL IS WELL! One thing I know for sure: You will come out of this situation stronger than before. You both are such a blessing to many. Continue to educate, motivate, and inspire❤️

Jamie, what a lovely (and strong) wife you have. Thanks for sharing you guys!!

I’ve been an icu rn for 15 years, mom and aunt with breast cancer, currently undergoing work up for a breast mri finding. Interesting parallels here, my children look very much like yours 😊, I work elbow to elbow with intensivists all day, identify so much with this conversation. Just stumbled upon this on my feed. And now of course given your critical care content, I am going through other uploads. Thankful for good outlook for your wife. Blessings to your beautiful family. And to all that experience this awful diagnosis. Thank you 🙏

Great video and I would say Dorey is very brave and teaching and advocating though her own experience and it is very powerful. I can't imagine, It must be very hard for her emotionally and physically. Sending her love and prayers.

[traceymanzano]

Im so glad you're Ok and that you have an awesome husband there by your side ! I've been healthy all of my life, just diagnosed DCIS non- invasive, stage 0, low grade. The mammogram didnt catch it at all. I had decided to have a double mastectomy in Dec. with no reconstruction .Im looking forward to being fabulously flat and wearing all kinds of fun tops again!😊

[mojob]

Prayers to you and your wife. You have a beautiful family🥰🥰

[betsyeberle]

You both did an excellent job of sharing all of your experiences. Thank you! I’m one of those women who is having utter frustration with the medical care in breast health. Age is a huge barrier on both ends of the spectrum. I feel forgotten. I’m grateful for your courage in sharing!!

[odalysnocera]

I have the exact same diagnosis. Just had my lumpectomy. It was a piece of cake. Brca negative and lymph nodes negative. You will be fine. I promise. Im much older than u tho. I’m 59. Blessings to u and your family.

It’s unfortunate that one of the largest misconceptions is that breast cancer is privy to a certain age, more and more findings are showing women between ages 19-29 are being diagnosed with breast cancer, so should check ups should not be a deterrent. It’s also unfortunate she had a medical team reassuring her that it was nothing, instead of saying whatever the results are you overcome and manage if diagnosed. She’s such a brave woman for sharing her story. 🌷
